Is MySQL a common choice with Node.js? Don't see many people talking about SQL and Node.js. Anyone using this combo got something to say about their experience with it?

Maybe I'm just not the audience for Meteor, because while it looks like a great project but as a nodejs guy, the fact that it hides itself away from the platform and turned away from the fantastic npm makes me sort of weary about it as a wh

For that to really work I'd imagine the people using your API would need to be able to monetize? So you're basically shifting the challenge of turning users into value to a 3rd party. I don't have anything to back this up other than a gut f

Semi-related on Win7 (Pro/Ultimate/Enterprise only) you can use the group policy object editor to launch something other than explorer.exe as the shell. In the past I've used this to launch directly into Steam. My friend has a spare PC in h

I'm curious, how far back does 'First Ever Annual Loss' run? I remember hearing Nintendo used to make toys and playing cards, long before the NES, does this refer to pre video game Nintendo?

I'm from Perth as well, and this is almost word for word how I respond when people ask me about Perth. I get the feeling that there's much cooler stuff happening elsewhere more and more these days.

Aside from this, can anyone in the know give some info about the startup community/hacker culture in Japan. Is there one? I'm in Australia, and I've always had a suspicion that China or Japan would be the closest hub of innovation and inter

Here in Australia, I recently was trying to get in touch with the non-emergency police number (I had seen 2 kids, one maybe 2 years old, the other 4 at most, playing alone, on the median strip of a dual carriageway road, with no one else in

Straight up these mostly seem like power user features, which has no place in an interface for every day users. I feel like they might maybe be onto something with Metro, but the new explorer is two steps backwards.

He stood down from Apple less than 2 months ago, I wonder if he had any idea how close he was cutting it. No matter how you slice it, the man loved what he did, and he did it brilliantly. The amount of people who use a device designed under

I strongly disagree with what Ted wrote, but I really wish he would come out and enter a dialog with the community. There's a thread on the mailing list, twitter, and blog responses floating around now, but no substantial effort by Ted to r

It supports javascript but the problem is the whole thing is refreshed for every character you type. Example, adding "alert('foo')" will give you an alert for every character you type in the edit box. Am I doing it wrong or is this supposed

Thanks for this! Any chance you'd consider writing a full blog post later down the line about your experience with this stack? I'm working on a node/backbone/mongdb (I don't grok coffeescript) app at the moment, and any real world apps and

Here's the HN submission from last year: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1261786 Not sure how much the product has changed since then. Straight off it doesn't use node.js (In the older thread he mentions it's because it's asynchronous

Site needs some work, right now it feels more like HN (Similar visual style aside), just one big spread of submissions. As mentioned, the great part of reddit is sub-reddits, Hubski needs some sort of greater way to sort out and separate co

As a node user I don't see this as a bug. It's a bit pissy to submit it with this title. I think being inline with browsers and expected node behaviour is more important than with python/ruby/java/perl/the rfc, which is about the only argum

True, but I would have thought most designers like that would work at a web dev shop already, thought I couldn't say that for sure. Forgot to mention: Looks like a great piece of tech and a great product. Can't wait to see where it goes aft

First thing that struck me was professional designers probably wouldn't use this, they're likely not willing to give up complete design control to a wysiwyg tool, and most have preferred cms and tools. So with that said, seems the best targ

This is distressingly true, I recognised Daring Fireball and its layout, and the general slant of the articles long before I could recognise the name John Gruber. I'm sure there's some poignant comment to be made based on this, about how so

In this case popular does not specifically mean well liked, simply widely used. Consider the mass of people cut and pasting together web sites who touch javascript, and virtually every modern, internet connected device is capable of parsing

Assuming you mean the twitter bootstrap, it's just a bunch of useful CSS classes. The hotlink is a single minified CSS file. I highly doubt the CSS included in the bootstrap is having a great massive impact on the performance of the new twi
