Simple: Not all node packages work in the browser. It'd be great if I could just say "ok this package will work for the browser, period." Also, with a module format that the browser can use (ie ECMAscript 6)

This is what a HN top comment should look like. Adds value in a lot of great places, augments the article. Please, less nitpicky top comments, and more of this. :) (arguably this is a worthless comment, but maybe highlighting more of the gr

Would BH leave a16z is the question though. I mean sure, ShoeDazzle, Zynga, Groupon, whatever. They're really doing a lot to mess with SV culture, which could be (long term) more transformative than guiding an ailing giant.

Correct. I didn't exercise. I basically did startups and that's it. Folks who do sports claim that if you already are in a regimen, you can switch without too much difficulty, but starting an exercise / sports regimen when on

Trying to remember. I think I did 3 hours core, 3x20 naps, then switched to 4.5+2x20. The adaptation period was almost exactly three weeks, iirc. After that it wasn't too bad.

I did it for 90 days. It was awesome. Then the holidays hit, which made it impossible. Polyphasic is perfect for the person who doesn't have any other life commitments and wants to be super productive every day. (Weekend mornings get s

Angular 1.2 supports animations between ng-views, which would mean you wouldn't have to build very much. http://www.yearofmoo.com/2013/08/remastered-animation-in-ang...

Andrew Mason (of groupon fame) had an observation a few years ago at startup school that says activism is currently how long someone will inconvenience themselves. The longer the inconvenience and the more infrequent, the more seriously it&

As a former producer: This is a sure way to never get called back again. Just be yourself. Act natural. TV needs you, not you doing an impression of someone who you've seen on TV.

Backbone took a REST opinion, I imagine if you want something like you describe, they (or someone) will implement something like backbone.io. https://github.com/scttnlsn/backbone.io

The crucial part of the interview for me is this: >>Steve was still young, trying to move too fast, and not regulated enough to really create a good product, a successful product. He had basically, in Apple times, when he ran things..

Would this be a good fit for something like video processing? Could you use the GPIO pins to actually have a video input, and then send it out via HDMI?

With the obvious caveat that nobody can speak for PG except him, I'll take a shot: I don't think he wants to. Even though I think he'd argue otherwise, he's a genuinely good guy. Not in the way that you think of when you

Recommendation: have the demos use web workers if they're available, so you don't tie up the main thread when the numbers get really large.

It'd be cool if you could do NFC or some other method, so you could couple it with a mobile device. USB is great, but some less wired approach makes this even cooler. (for v2, obviously.) Something like this makes me think the future o

I'm interested if @antirez has thought of extending the (admittedly fun) redis api to a disk-backed version for when you don't need the performance of in-memory, but appreciate the simplicity of the redis api. Maybe be able to ass

The theory is by risking complete classified documents, one could put others at considerable risk. Whereas the post / guardian would probably be smart enough to redact things that could risk lives.

Is there a way to run AeroFS on AWS or something? So it's possible to store files encrypted, but with as simple syncing as Dropbox?

We have customers who prefer paper invoicing. We're more B2B-ey. We could do their net30 payment terms all electronically, which would be a big plus for them.

This is the sort of thing we're working on at Vidpresso. If this impresses you, and you want to build stuff like this... we should be friends. Contact info is in my profile.
