It's true that a lot of people work with Javascript, but honestly I wouldn't say that they can contribute to anything right away. A lot of these people don't know more than $('#element').hide(); In fact, I wo

I was like that while using ST2. But then better plugins started appearing for ST3 (the aforementioned Vintageous being one of them) so I switched to ST3. But it crashed constantly; also, by that time the Vim emulation was really hurting me

Emacs is GUI desktop software. Few people use it in a terminal. Also, people didn't born knowing Javascript. They learnt it. And one could argue that Lisp is just as easy to learn, if not easier.

Try using the Vim plugin (Vintage or the newer one, Vintageous) with Sublime. That way, you can gradually get used to modal editing. I worked like that for 8-10 months then made the switch to Vim. I've gotten so used to modal editing (

It probably started out as a Rails app, but then Node came along. Gotta keep it relevant!

While this is really cool, can anyone tell me if it has become any easier to write stored procedures/functions? Last time I tried writing stored procedures I went into a deep depression from the lack of a proper IDE/editor/de

Yes, you can get an idea which languages are used most at interviews, but perhaps it isn't good for that either

Yeah, at this point I actually find it amusing just how much flack PHP gets from people on HN who only think about it in terms of Wordpress and spotty 15 year olds trying out web dev for the first time.

Hardly. PC gaming was big before the Xbox and one could argue that the platform would be actually better off without it: a lot of PC games are shitty console ports or just crippled in general because the low-end hardware of these consoles.

Considering just how big of a financial black hole Xbox has been throughout the years, it's not surprising. Some sources say the 360 lost about 3 billion[1] while others that it lost 2.5 billion PER year[2]. The Xbone lost about 1 bill

> The real reason for it's popularity is that a lot of the ruby guys seemed to have jumped to Node.js :) I think it's because a lot of front-end developers jumped to Node.
