Comparison to Soylent [1], looks very imbalanced. 2.5 times the cost per kcal. Half of the micronutrients are met with only 7% kcal target, some not even there. [1] http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/ultimate-meal-powder-t

The comparison page highlights that Zone.js is better than promises because of long stack traces [1], but most promise implementations already have that [2]. I'm confused, that seems to be the only comparison to promises. Edit: Concep

It doesn't make sense that a company would expire data, it's not illegal, and users are not the customers to companies like Facebook, and Google. Users are the product to advertising. A more concrete solution would be to own our

Fun! A few days ago I mentioned I wish Sublime Text could have preview panes, but it only does text. [1] This editor does just that! Unfortunately it's very sluggish. Which also ties back to a comment about another HTML5 text edito

It's more helpful to private message people these things, sometimes the author doesn't even know their project has been posted to HN. Last week I wanted to comment about a bug on HN, then I realized it's more constructive to

:D Just to take this a little further, at my old employment, our Ops wanted the dependencies to be committed to the repo. To make rolling back faster, since `npm install` can take awhile. Also, there was a time NPM register went down wre

Completely, this is why I love how modular that Javascript ecosystem is. Building a complex piece of software only takes 450 lines of glue [1]. Node-webkit makes building desktop applications a snap. The only bummer is it's slow, wh

I've definitely wanted to make plugins for Sublime Text that show a live preview in another pane. Unfortunately there's no way to create another pane of anything but text, so the current solution is opening new windows (for thing

The Node core dev actually went back and forth on this, and came to the conclusion to not commit dependencies to the repo, and introduced "shrinkwrap" [1]. It felt wrong committing dependencies to the repo, which I agree with. I

Sorry, but my life is in Portland! I have professional experience working remotely; and enjoy it. :D I can also travel when necessary.

This was no where near as painful as some talks I've seen, where the speaker is programming. Like running of time, and only being half way through the talk. Live coding definitely slows down the momentum. A good example of coding de

After last seeing Consul posted 2 weeks ago, and playing with Docker for deploying my application, it got some gears turning. I think the two would be a great combo. Though I like the philosophy of immutable containers that Docker asserts

A distraction from the main point, being: state graphs rock! And deserve a high level way of talking about them in any language of choice, which most languages don't include in the stdlib. So one may have to roll their own/find

Yep! I completely agree, there is nothing object oriented about the example. So why use constructs meant for describing objected oriented code? Though, the fact that someone defined a pattern for designing state machines on top of object

The blame is being placed on the wrong thing. It's not the state graph model that is the issue, but modeling it with object oriented constructs. The article actually also agrees that the the concept is succinctly modeled with the st

At first glance it looks like a fun esoteric language, like Shakespeare [1]. Looking deeper, this language is more amazing then it leads on to be. But for a little story time: I've started my first major project in Haskell while sick

If you want to store & query JSON [1], Postgres 9.3 is great! Plus you can index functions, meaning you get cool things like fast JSON look up, and doing case insensitive searches. Which is hard in Mongo, you would either have to do a

If you're using Q, you get long stack traces [1] for debugging asynchronous behavior! That way you can follow the entire path of an exception, through multiple callbacks. Q also wraps every function with a try/catch statement, and

Ha! This is great, it looks as if this article was written for Soylent Corporation. I personally hope their company succeeds, to the point where they're going to have some awkward title changes. :) https://campaign.soylent.me/soylent-fre

It's probably the person that recently stole the $250k worth of bitcoins. Just hype up your commodity with a PR stunt before you unload it. It worked well for Facebook!
