   Node uses lib uv , which supports Windows and abstracts over a few other things too.

   Also, last time I checked, SourceForge has an application process involved in establishing a repository, while Github is just "register and create as many as you like"

    I'm not OP, but I think I can address your concerns a bit: In the former case, I think OP's point was that being exceptionally familiar with a given language or technology is not what ultimately makes a programmer exceptionally good: that f

    I'm not very familiar with the space yet, but despite a weak attempt to argue something along the lines of "nobody cares about your idea," this ultimately reads to me like "Don't ask for an NDA, because it would inconvenience me if I decide

    Is there documentation of best practices for using PBKDF2 as a password hashing function anywhere? I've switched to it as a more standard/better supported alternative to bcrypt, but information on this use case is worryingly scarce.

    Do you mean to imply that the point of Dart is to be an easier to understand Javascript?

    There are other ways to locate and request a file than by trivial HTTP GET.

    But that doesn't indicate a hard error bound; this is a statistical matter, after all. Most likely it's just an expected standard deviation.

    I'm a bit confused. When is hard drive space a problem? With digital distribution, you can redownload at whim, and with discs, you can reinstall at (slightly less convenient) whim.

    But times have changed, and development isn't dead. Why haven't they been updated? The optimizations you imply are often straightforward and well-understood; not major undertakings to implement.

    Both valid perspectives; it depends on your priorities. Some people want computers to be a black box, because when the black box works, it means less cognitive load to use.

    At first glance what you say makes sense, but then why did find and the python call both have similar issues?
