Brainfuck, then :). People don't use node for the Javascript. They use it for the modules, and node is the glue that coheres them (and does an admirable job at that). When you're comparing writing a CLI app in node to writing it i

If you're doing crazy heavy processing or something, it's not the right tool. But you wouldn't do that in JS. You'd shell out or call something native. Node is best used managing parallel streams of stuff. Perhaps surpri

Koding(en)'s been on my radar a while since they're in a vaguely similar space (lightweight virtualization). But as a coder, I could never for the life of me figure out what Koding is for. Apparently the Koding team doesn't k

Just an FYI: you can use step timing functions to obviate the need for the 1% change hack :).

The point is the iframe/JS is used to break out of the browser sandbox, due to a bug in the browser, with techniques like heap spraying (mentioned in the article). Once you manage to get arbitrary code running in the context of the bro

Totally, but nobody believes these will be blocked by default. That's how censorship works. It's arbitrary and at the whims of those in power.

But wetness is the essence of beauty. Quotes aside, I've imagined this kind of edgeless design to be where things are headed, and it certainly looks beautiful.

I wonder how much simpler our browsers could be if we didn't have to worry about rendering and styling this breed of dated spec-breaking insanity.

There are already laws popping up that criminalize masked protest. Getting this one passed will be child's play.

It's shocking how fast "terrorism" has been redefined from "use of terror as a means of coersion" to "Islamic fundamentalists" to "evil". These days politicians mix that word into a sentence with

Which would no doubt brand us cyberterrorists if it managed to work.

It was less an argument than a statement of fact. These are the laws. If you want to argue what fundamental rights should or shouldn't be afforded to a property owner, HN probably isn't the place. This stuff has a long and complicated polit

For the curious, the way this works is ::before/::after selectors with content: attr() to bind the data attributes, which are position: absolute 'd within the parent, possibly transitioned. Zero JS. If you haven't played with CSS3 lately yo

It's interesting that we use the word "stealing" for this. Intellectual property is a wishy-washy term, defined entirely by the laws of the land. If China's laws and philosophy don't recognize United States IP laws, then it's not really "st

Except it would be extremely unlikely for us to be the first new species such a space-faring civilization would be coming into contact with. At galactic scale, there's not much difference between a Mars cockroach and a regular cockroach.

The shortest path to peace and justice is definitely swiveling the artillery. I sincerely hope you're joking.

You can do this in most parts of the Western world. Make your own TV station and say "fuck". Nobody will stop you. Freedom isn't the right to inject arbitrary programming into someone else's commercial enterprise.

It's an artifact of how the server tracks pagination state in the HN Arc source. If you idle too long your id gets flushed and you hit that error. It's been discussed many times before, and for various reasons it doesn't look like it's goin

I've been hacking around with node for years, and I still haven't touched meteor. So that's my disclaimer. But I've read through the docs a few times, and the impression I always get at the end is that Meteor isn't embracing the same open D

I wasn't involved at all in the discussions, but the cryptopunk in me wonders if this isn't malice. Running out of DB entries in the client can be predicted with reasonable accuracy. "Accidentally" slip in this bug, and "fix" it in a future
