Have you looked at Express[1]? It's a fairly complete and (by now) well fleshed-out framework, and it implements Connect[2], which is a middleware stack for Node.js. The only thing it lacks (and Geddy seems to have) is a way to manage model

I could see this being very useful. My one criticism is that I find the all-caps League Gothic much too difficult to read here. A non-condensed sans-serif would be a lot easier on the eyes.

Funny, I put together a script just yesterday that allows you to do pull requests from the command line (via git): http://gist.github.com/415266 Improvements always welcomed :)

My guess is that you're 95% correct: they're likely warding off Verizon, who has become a major threat to all three companies. Offering FiOS TV, FiOS internet, phone, and wireless cell service is tough to compete with — even if you alread

Just out of curiosity, is your $150-200/hr expectation based on empirical data, and for what programming languages? I'm certainly not discounting your statement, just looking for more information about from where that expectation arises.

It's worth noting that this guy has called me a number of times over the past couple years, and he pulls the same schtick on everyone: tries to hire you as an "unpaid intern" to do considerable amounts of work that he plans to profit from.

I'd like you to, then, define what is and isn't considered art, a process to which your exact argument — "everything isn't [art|a game]" — has been applied countless times (see: Duchamp's Readymades). You could argue that many aspects of li

For those of you who haven't seen it, the movie The Prestige (IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482571/ ) deals with this topic of transient existence of people, albeit in the context of magicians and science. It's a very good movie,

Seems to me that the author has tried to break it down into six groups of actions a person will do to keep themselves stressed — a kind of "personality type," if you will. He simply left out any sort of naming/header for each group.

I hate replying to my own post, but I just want to point out that the Node.js server is running on a Prgmr.com VPS with 128 MB RAM. The server is currently using 1.5 - 2.7% CPU and holding steady at about 43 MB of RAM with 70 connected user

Is it 1999 again? Even if you can't see more than the 3 boxes on the page, you have a scroll bar and a large, softly pulsating link that says "Sign up now, it's free ↴". And if you don't scroll down, all of the navigation is right there at

I could write and write about all the problems with Marx's arguments, because there are many, but it's just not worthwhile. To those less informed on the whole situation: The simple fact is that Flash isn't going anywhere for a long time,

GMail's filter is actually incredibly accurate, and if you periodically scan your spam for anything that shouldn't be in there, you've really got nothing to worry about. I've only found three or four false positives in the five and a half y

Sheerly out of curiosity, outside of your anecdote, what evidence or credentials do you have to make that claim? Now, I'm not saying you're unqualified or wrong to make that claim — I merely would like to know what you're basing that statem

I'd be interested in hearing more about how you went from idea to production, finding a manufacturer, etc. I think this is a big stumbling point for a lot of people in the same position as you were — interested in manufacturing a physical p

It might also be pertinent to take into account how long ago an article was submitted. I've noticed the votes-comments quality filter myself, but I've never really added "submission age" to that mental filter. I'm not sure how it would affe
