There is only one definition of "legal": allowable under the law. The constitution and the laws of your state outline your rights (if you live in the US). Part of the deal is that sometimes you can be arrested for crimes you didn't commit.

I think the Wall Street hope is that this means scaling back efforts on unsuccessful enterprises, and "doubling down" on successful areas. I don't think Zynga needed to be as big as it was anyway, so maybe this could be viewed as getting th

Could you elaborate on that? I've seen that viewpoint a number of times but I've never understood why it's considered a cardinal sin to have templates generated from js.

The fact that most web applications do many I/O operations per request handler and the Blocking API's make it very natural so that "you don't even think about the fact that you're doing I/O" is precisely the problem. I/O is an eternity comp

Server-side Javascript, in particular Node, is much better suited to event-driven applications (e.g. web servers) than a lot of other languages out there, including Ruby (and dare I say Python?).

Javascript is not just a "quirky scripting language for minor workflow events." It is a powerful, expressive language, that has many benefits over contemporary languages, regardless of setting. Yes, it has quirks, and yes, there are some th

Seriously? Google Reader flaming out does not mean that Google is a terrible steward for big projects, especially "moonshot" projects like this. I would be thrilled if Google shut down web services that could easily be done by other compani

I think in the 90's the motivation was the same. Sure for some folks it was just about being lazy and only supporting one browser, but I think for a lot of people it was taking advantage of CSS and Javascript only available in one browser.

No because 1) There are probably still some people in those cities that can legitimately rent and 2) that would lower revenues. As it stands they can turn a blind eye and put the liability on the homeowner/renter.

Not sure if they're all "startups" but: Groupon, Starter League, 37signals, Food Genius, Fee Fighters, Spot Hero. All based in Chicago. Certainly not the Valley, but no need to be dismissive out of hand.

Not sure if it's just my dialect of English (which is the "non-accent" accent) but I pronounce "lose" with a "z" sound (rhymes with booze) while I pronounce "loose" with an "s" sound (rhymes with noose or moose).

What he describes in the article as a UI Developer is much more than markup, it frequently has javascript flavor for interaction with the user. Also, interfaces are designed in Markup for the time being only, not as a rule for eternity.

From Express's package page on NPM: 20 765 downloads in the last day 127 921 downloads in the last week 489 285 downloads in the last month Since it's essentially Sinatra for Node.js, I don't think it's too big of a stretch to say that i

This is the way police states operate - ridiculously strict laws that are only laxly enforced. In such a system, the enforcers (not lawmakers) have inordinate power to punish or reward people as they see fit.

Your Salesforce analogy also reminds me of Heroku - they sell you on the core product, which is hosting, but they have a large enough market that they can invite 3rd parties to develop apps (Add-ons in Heroku's parlance) for their users. I

If you added a build process that actually pulled in the source files for a bundled production file you might have something similar to RequireJS for templates. Cool stuff.

As bdt101 mentioned here[1], the way they're using Array.prototype.slice.call is supported by IE8. It is not supported when trying to slice a NodeList, as a NodeList is not a JScript object. 1 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5424874

It should be noted that by also storing a hash of your password in keypad-compatible format (if you're right about this) is that it significantly reduces the search space for a potential brute force attack. It also seems they don't allow sp

My advice: stop advertising PhantomJS and let me sign up for your service. Why did I have to scroll down 80% of the page to get to a sign up button? And nothing on your page convinced me that I should. I am in your target market - I build w
