As far as I can see it has not much in common with casperjs, apart from the fact that it can use phantomjs.

Though brfs can be nice to make a module instantly usable in the browser I think it is highly misleading because it skews fs semantics a lot. It shouldn't be encouraged in cases where other solutions are available. I can't talk ab

In my opinion a bundler should bundle and nothing else. Transforms should be implemented as externals tools that package assets and whatnot as CommonJS modules. One benefit among others would be the ability to implement the build process as

I still have a lot to learn about information theory and I'd like to have expert input regarding entropy. Is it believed / agreed upon that entropy is an objective measure ? It seems obvious to me that it is absolutely relative an

Anyway what will be easy to remember for a human will be sequences exhibiting high ngrams correlation, which is efficiently modeled by markov chains. Wondering if studies have been done from this perspective on password strength, and how ch

MIT in the title made me expect something free of VC strings. Picture me disappointed. Outcomes tend to match intentions. Money will lead us nowhere near the network we'd dreamt about. I'm tired of all those wannabe billionaires.

There is no new protocol or protocol features, so no "new mail system" around. Only a REST wrapper around the same old thing. You'll still have to support old clients on the other end. As far as I can see, it's only an e

Most of the tools you talk about will be old before you get a job, don't even bother. Among the people that know how to use them (and most know only a few of them) very few know how to actually program. They only regurgitate patterns t

Ok so the library performs a kind of timing attack to detect whether it runs in a legitimate browser or not, and phones home { bot: true }. I make a bot that detects the script on the page and sends { bot: false }. You could try to obfuscat

Same here. First time in many years that I don't say to myself "bullshit" while looking at a purported solution to the captcha problem. The solution is at once obvious and very clever. What is the most unexpected is that it d

I'd be very interested in knowing more about how the technology works. It's pretty difficult to assess it without more information. Specifically it feels like the good old software protection conundrum where you have to give the k

If it's created as a platform (hear, a protocol) it may effectively need to be created only once. The whole online world is unknowingly waiting for it, and I feel it coming our way like, at raging speed.

I have pretty much the same opinion as the OP. Linux is in dire need of a DE that is at least on par with its internals. What strikes me is that what's good about linux structure essentially pre-dates it. I wonder if the open-source co

I'd say code a raw draft to gain a better understanding of the problem space, then talk about it again. If you're close enought to something workable refactor iteratively and let the concepts emerge.

IMO it stems from the fact that managers up the ladder don't understand or have never been told that software that produces the expected results isn't necessarily finished work. There is a reason most of us have this gut feeling,

It is. First, we want to establish the idea that a computer language is not just a way of getting a computer to perform operations but rather that it is a novel formal medium for expressing ideas about methodology. Thus, programs must be w
