Amen, brother! This is why I don't consider jobs with even exciting startups with early traction at this point in time. Why would I bother getting 50x less return for a similar investment and risk as a founder? We should at least be in the

When I say it compares in performance to other systems I mean other high level more-than-a-socket systems like XMPP servers, which I spent a lot of years benchmarking and optimizing. Of course to-the-metal binary packet systems will be much

Nice initial analysis! I would love to see this run using one of the popular node clustering modules with multiple CPU cores, and also the other socket.io connection types. 9k messages/second on a single 3.3ghz VM with 1,000 connections see

Following this train of thought, it might be worth exploring if this would work best as an SAP or Jive add-on or some such. . . Getting a sales channel would be helpful in the Enterprise world.

Awesome to see a hugely popular and powerful development platform getting noticed by Github. It's great technology that deserves more love and positive mindshare in the open source world. The last startup where I was CTO was largely based o

Yup, I had one recently. The company had buyback rights at the strike price of the options that were equivalent to typical vesting terms. So, a 1 yr cliff, 4 year monthly vest. I.E. Any time in year 1 they had the right to buy them all back

Cool hack. The site owners requesting a huge list of permissions like this should really test what happens to their conversion rate across various sets of permissions. Been there, worth testing. I'm just saying... ;)

For what it's worth, I've been involved in A/B testing this exact thing to hundreds of thousands of new casual game users. You might be surprised. I would highly recommend the OP test this theory. :)

Common problem. Live and learn. But the problem is a bit more meta than Javascript scoping. Something would have happened no matter your environment. It's always extremely risky to make huge changes just before a launch day. Stuff always br

The post you link to spawns a new thread and tests that speed. When you have a pool it takes roughly zero ms to tell it to do something. All you have is whatever locking is required to synchronize between the enqueueing (request processor)

I have also ran .NET backed stuff that was larger than this... It's not that uncommon. In my experience the guys running .NET backed stuff just aren't usually as vocal about things. ;) hi5 (the social network) also runs a lot of .NET and SQ

Well, when you're putting your own hardware in your own datacenter it can take hours (or days) to scale capacity. If you have a huge traffic spike that can really hurt the user experience. It's much better to have it on standby. We learned

The least emphasized, and I think most important, point here is that the application will help you better define your business and why you're doing it with your current cofounder(s). Much like an AngelList profile, I'd say it's worth a few

"What does matter is that the timestamp is new and increasing every second." Right. I'm just sayin' that you have to be careful when you move data with a caveat like that. Moving the shard keyspace (the 13 bits) to a new machine that starte

I've used the "snowflake" like approach in the past with great success. It's really not all that complicated. The reliance on time in the Instagram approach is a bit scary. A few ms off here and there could really hurt this scheme. How do y

Maybe they don't? Not that I know the details of their business, but I know I was shocked when I first learned how few companies actually make money. :)

In the casual/social gaming world we call this asynchronous play. You won't find a single breakout hit in the space that requires synchronous play (like Worms). It's extremely rare to find groups of ones own friends online at the same time,
