I haven't followed io.js development at all, so don't know what all the projects goals are, but I really hope this doesn't lead to different server implementations/stdlibs for js on the server, the rate of change is insa

As a US citizen, this is awesome. If I understand this correctly it means students from anywhere can apply for jobs while studying in the US and continue working in the US after graduation. This just means better products, better ideas, and

Could someone give more background on this? Is the reunification something that's on the table now, is this just planning and hoping? It would be great to see that happen, it'd be great to hear from someone who knows more about th

interesting story which I didn't know. I was expecting a mention of Ada Lovelace, who as far as I know is considered the first programmer ever see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#First_computer_pro... .

For me c is kind of a wierd language. Wierd in that the language itself is incredibly simple, I think anyone could learn c syntax and usage in about 2 days max. But I think where most people get hung up with on c are the concepts, you do ne

Usability for everyone is important but basically every modern webapp is not usuable if you disable javascript. Its akin to disabling X11 and trying to use a desktop app, maybe a few fallback to a console program you can use but not many. A

my thoughts exactly. My UX: first thought - looks nice, ok so, I clicked on "I can help", which is just signup, ok well I want to know what I'm signing up for, do I earn money helping others, is it a time donation thing? so t

I would highly recommend reading anything by Alan Watts. I can't explain it really but after I immersed myself in some of his writings, it was one of the few 'eye-opening' experiences of my life, something akin to the first t

I think it depends on what you're comparing the current system with, right? I mean sure if its either no hoop jumping or you have to pay some money then you can go figure ok the person willing to give up bucks and go through the troubl

I know sorry my irony wasnt that explicit I guess. Really I dont see how making it hard and expensive to become a CA intermediary helps security at all, it just means we have to trust those that have money and power, rarely the best idea.

looking at these libraries that are non-extant makes me think that Rust won't be production ready for quite a time still... The List: 1. HTTP 2. Crypto 3. Unicode 4. I18n & Localization 5. Date/Time 6. Generic SQL These are th

This sounds really good. The only disappointment is that it seems there is no business model that allows email providers and services like this to provide Unlimited encrypted email (no limitations i.e. Gmail-esque) absolutely free to all us

This was an interesting article, though most of the points seem to revolve around the theme of "Never giving up". I found the first one particulary interesting (the make your bed one). here's the points in summary: 1. "M

This article might have some truthyness but the arguments would never lead me to that conclusion. 1. "wouldnt it be reasonable for searches for a mature language to decrease since devs are already very familiar with that language"

Also be wary of your projects Gems, we just finished a 3.2 to 4.0 upgrade and though rails itself was pretty easy, there were quite a few problems with things such as Solr, Formtastic plugins (some FormTag internals changed in rails4, which
