   I think what's more is that police can use their time for more productive uses.

   The statement "I've actually never seen a website that uses bcrypt or PBKDF2 in the real world" doesn't discredit the "Use bcrypt[/PBKDF2]" argument, though.

   Am I the only one that thinks that Windows support was not really worth the time? Sure, you get to support a huge chunk of the OS market, but what are the real implications of Node running natively on Windows?

   Agreed. The ML one is much more organized and the design and experience are both incredibly better. It has more of a classroom and course feeling to it, rather than the AI class's here's some video lectures and quizzes, now do the test

   Thanks for the clarification, and sorry for the error. Still an astounding amount.

    To add some perspective: WolframAlpha measures an average US household's yearly consumption at 12,000 KWh, or 32.8 KWh per day. The upper bound in the parent comment with the 50% fudge factor, 375 MWh per day, would power (375 MWh/32.8 KWh)

    Like Palm's WebOS open source releases [0], this is the code of the modifications they made to open-source projects, some of which they are supposed to release under GPL. The title should be updated to reflect this. [0]: http://opensource.

    Not only is it dangerously anti-intellectual, it also has some terrible flirting advice. Telling her that she looks gorgeous? Really?

    Think about it this way: what's more important for Apple in the long term? To have the iPhone seen more often by people that already know about the iPhone and have their own feelings about it? Or, to usher in a potentially revolutionary way

    Yeah. I really want to see this discussion taken in a direction where we're actually talking about Node.js and its computational (non-?)efficiency, instead of this needless back-and-forth.

    This is the worst rant I've read in a while. It starts with lambasting the fact that Ted Dziuba didn't intend the Fibonacci example to be the one role model of comparing Node.js and other languages, and then the Node.js community (or at lea

    Psilocybin and other psychoactive drugs of the sort somehow affect how we see and think about things. I'm surprised more isn't being done to research these. If it can have such a profound effect on perception and personality, research into

    Stripe pretty much takes payment processing kicking and screaming into 2011. Merchant accounts are a serious drag. I've opened a few and they've been nothing but headaches (especially if you're young—nobody trusts you.) Couple that with g

    Yeah, that too. I was thinking a ways out – if they can establish a community that occasionally springs up a sizable company, then they'll not only have the increased tax revenue, but will also be able to have multiple companies doing that.

    The goal isn't to make money from equity. The goal is to jump-start a community there and maybe , if they're lucky, have a company be known as "that Chilean startup".

    Huh. Chile is taking a $6 million ($40,000 × 154, assuming they all accept) bet that one of them becomes successful in some way. I think the chances are pretty good.

    I'm a big fan of OmniGraffle for this purpose. A lot of the same arrangement snaps and all, and it's extremely simple to create primitives and text and whatnot.
