It's fairly easy to create a div which behaves the same way as a HTML input field, and there are other ways. Ultimately I think you'd have to not fire key events, period.

JavaScript is missing some fundamental cryptographic primitives that make it impossible to write secure software with JS, most notably it lacks any cryptographically secure random number generator. Additionally, package installs are insecur

More to the point, outlawing burglary works and outlawing drugs doesn't, de facto. The "why" is interesting academically, but hardly matters from a policy perspective.

It sounds like a poor design. Webpages don't work offline. All the user has to do to break everything is hit "refresh". What your business users wanted was an app, and you gave them a webpage instead. I also don't unders

I'd argue that this points to a poor design. If something is static enough to be crawled by a search engine, then it doesn't make sense to be generating it dynamically every time on the client side. It's static, generate it s

To add to my other comment: the technical criticisms of Node have already been stated and were widely known. So if you're going to argue that using Node in a server environment is a technically sound choice, it's up to you now to

sigh I'm afraid to hear your answer, but I'm going to ask anyway: what would compel you to output the same template on both the client and server sides?

Again, why not just stick to the technical merits here? Why accuse Node critics of trend-chasing? I'm not a trend-chaser. Python has been around since 1991 and is my language of choice for most things. I like Elixir, but I wouldn'

It lacks a coherent type system, its threading model is awful, and its security is fundamentally broken. Your move.

Global event loops are fundamentally a bad abstraction for a parallel (not just concurrent) system. It makes sense to leverage existing mental models in a lot of cases, but when you're moving to a new platform, you have to learn some n

Passport JS is horrible. Sure it's easy to use, but it's not secure, which is kind of the entire point. There are other libraries that are interesting, but that's more a function of necessity than of it being a good thing--pe

No, a technical counterargument could be valid if Node had any technical merit. I'm claiming that no valid technical counterargument exists. If you disagree, it should be very easy for you to present a valid technical counterargument
