Oh this looks really like living crap. But I'have to admit with everything non-commercial I develop I give a shit on Windows compatibility (it's so hard to test Windows' browsers, either you need some VM running or netbook).

Wikipedia says yes ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.me ) but to go for sure go to the Google Webmaster Tools and somewhere deep in the menus you can check which TLD are classified as generic EDIT: here is Google's list of gTLDs and gccTLDs

The 2% reminds me a little of the ELO system of chess. The stronger you are the higher is your risk (i.e. when playing against a much weaker opponent) which is good. Only because you are sitting on 10K of Karma won't hinder to post crap and

Very nice game mechanics since on HN the 'old boys' have some advantages when submitting and commenting. But I would like to know more about you guys and why or how you want to get traction on this before I put myself on the waiting list. B

None of them will bring substantial traffic, users or virality (but HN brings you slightly more, if you are doing good ~20-30K visits while TC hits you ~5-10K). If you are raising money or raised already and prepare the next round being on

You chose a good example showing that JS is not perfect but I think every language has some quirks and needs time and energy to get familiar. Of course such strange behaviour demotivates beginners and yes JS can be hard but it's still a gre

I am impressed but I'm also wondering why people try to avoid learning new stuff -- to potential downvoters, no rant intended. I am just surprised how many people try to circumvent JS: Rubyists with Coffee, Closurists with ClosureScript, et

Great observation, in particular the "mush coding" has gotten popular over the years, instead of getting shit done people build abstraction over abstraction and high-level frameworks detached from reality and full of crappy magic. Backbone

Congrats to Mozilla but honestly, I wonder when they implement Retina support, Web Audio API and other goodies (or must-haves) Chrome and Safari have for years. It's hard to use such a browser in 2013.

Shouldn't it be possible to always preload the following video in order to have seamless play of all videos? Now there's always a little gap.

Well said. TJ is basically one of those who's pushing Node and its ecosystem to the max -- this guy is brilliant.

> The level of language proficiency required to make an app with Node/Express is probably higher than with Django or Rails. Let me add my thoughts: Yes, you need to be good at JS and Node.js but to get there is easy. Maybe these thought

I just signed up: - extremely well designed form fields when signing up (kind of plain, reduced and flat but more colourful than Metro) - in general very clean, subtle UI/design - low latency, responsive servers, feels snappy Well done (fro

So great that there is some alternative to passportjs which isn't easy to get in. Try to repost at a better time or another post (i.e a tutorial)—user authentification/autorisation is one of the most wanted libs on Node

Oh yes, I know this feeling very well. First, I try to google sites with people who had a similar problem. If I wasn't lucky I check Stackoverflow more extensively, then the api documentation. When I still stuck, I try to find other example
