You can always ignore them - trying to keep up with every new javascript framework (where 80% wont be around in 2 years) is gonna piss anyone off : )

I'm loving how everything is moving to JS :) Can someone explain why I might want to use Lua in a browser over JS? Does it have a fundamental feature that JS does not have? Cool name btw!

I so badly want this technology to be current and working in all browsers. The only way I've found to really 'stream' live video to the browser is with WebSockets and pure JavaScript decoders writing to canvas. This works w

I dunno - since I properly learned me some angular - I've been bashing through jobs like no tomorrow. Each time I've thought 'there has to be more to do than that'. If I were doing JQueries - there would be an entire sta

This is very well said - this kind of change happens slowly, little by little, without a bang. “Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.” (Ghandi)

Wow that is nicely done - front page HN - ~700 concurrent users and I'm having fun playing! Good Work!

It is also performance - I think Facebook scared a lot of people into hiring Java + ObjC programmers when they announced 'HTML5 is too slow'. Web applications had this problem circa 1998 - i.e. a perception of slowness - look at S

This is exactly where I was for 10 years - until I learnt how they actually work (age 30+). Since clicking with these basic things - I have enjoyed my job much much more. However - at what age they should be introduced not sure - 10, 15, 31

Yes good point - teaching the basic principles is sort of what I was thinking - HTTP bad example.

Rather than this OS or that OS - I really wished someone at school had taught me: * how DNS works * the process model with stdin,stdout,env vars + cmd args * streams - text or otherwise * protocols like HTTP but what they actually did on th

"The peacekeeping budget for the 2013–14 fiscal year was $7.54 billion" - this is from the Wikipedia UN page I'm not saying that npm is like, that important, but - take 0.01% (one ten thousandth) and npm would have an annual

I've settled on running 5 or 6 containers rather than one big one with 5 or 6 processes because: I can host some containers on other physical hosts - I don't need to keep thinking (what if I fill up the biggest droplet on Digital

I love that REST is popular and SOAP is not (bad memories of SOAP). These days web sockets make streams and the unix process model of command parameters, environment, input and output possible. A good module that uses this philosophy is:

I agree - a classic case of hyper media attention boiling over into other, existing politics. God only knows what would have happened if he had rejected a commit involving the word 'religion'

Great article! For me Docker has opened up what is great about the underlying LXC technology - a proper logical wall between apps on the same hardware. The networking was the hardest thing (for me) to grasp in Docker - this guide opens up

Indeed - I think making all the hard work look effortless is the reward you get for doing the hard work. The mistake is to want people to see how difficult it all was - then things go to shit.

Jeff Lindsay wrote https://github.com/progrium/dokku which uses Heroku Buildpacks to build an app and then run it using Docker - it is a very neat little tool : )

Great summary - especially spinning up another container to use as the client - I was wondering how to do that : ) Docker is seriously another planet of cool!
