I was speaking yesterday, and I agree that the setup seems less than ideal when walking past the speaker areas. That being said, if you're taking a seat, you're entering the audio zone, and while not perfect, you could understand the speake

The title of this submission is confusing. The readme headline is better: "Byte-wise matching for Node.JS"

Yeah, except they seem to also provide photo hosting and tooling beyond that. We are purely focused on upload and processing so far.

Agreed. I usually end up doing the opposite in node, whenever there is an existing *nix tool for a job, I'll spawn that from my node process rather than reimplementing it. Node's child process machinery is the best I've seen so far. (Discla

IANAL, but you can use node.js as long as you make it clear you are not associated with the project and joyent holds the trademark.

Our website is written in CakePHP. That decision made sense ~2 years ago when there was no express, npm, etc. combined with the fact that we were former CakePHP core contributors. If we were to do it again now, we'd do the website in node.j

I have a binding for *nix fork() here: https://github.com/felixge/node-nix However, you need to know what you are doing, otherwise you'll have multiple processes draining the same file descriptors which will give you some nice surprises :

0.5 rips apart the whole event loop system and replaces it with a new one to support windows. It's much more unstable than 0.3 in that respect, which has mostly just seen API changes and feature additions.

Question: Does the franky example make use of both of your cores? Express and Sinatra are probably just using a single core out of the box.

Why are you trying to discredit everything I have done in the last ~5 years?

Fixed. Sorry, I was typing most of this on my iPad.

Good idea, I'll do that.

Hi, I'm the author of the guide. Thanks for your feedback. You made some great points about real time systems, I'll try to rework that section. > Do not expect me to blindly follow your standards just because you said so. This reminds m

This book is my top recommendation for programmers who want to learn JavaScript. The pace is perfect, and even people who are already familiar with JavaScript can get something out of it. Just bought myself a copy.

This is weird. Amazon Germany used to operate a "Netflix" offering which they sold to LoveFilm in 2008. I was actually a customer and canceled at that point, LoveFilm's site was just terrible. So now they are buying back what they partially

I think there is another way to look at it -> Bootstrapping allows you to stay in control. You get to decide how many financial sacrifices you take for your business. We do 3 days of contracting and spend another 3 days working on our p

Well, anybody in the video encoding business will know how we did it. It's kind of painfully obvious. So it's not so much spilling the secret sauce. Also, we don't believe individual features themselves will give us a long term advantage. C

I'm not saying it can't be done. In fact the multipart parser we have build for transloadit has already been ported to C++ [1] and I imagine Java has decent libraries as well. But most people just sit on a request/response oriented Python/R

1. We are infinitely [1] faster at converting video uploads than our competitors now. Speed matters. This is a strong USP. 2. Publicity. There are a bunch of features that would certainly be equally useful to our customers. However, none of

That's a very cool idea - we'll add support for that as well : ).

This means shipping a plugin, or porting ffmpeg and friends to flash / javascript. Maybe something to think about if we ever decide to raise VC : ).

Because most stacks don't have a single threaded, non-blocking I/O event loop. Sure you can do this with threads, but it's gonna get very tricky to pump data between a socket, file and process using threaded programming.
