Nice library. This is unrelated, but what are you using for the docs? I love how it looks and scrolls with the topics and code examples right beside the methods.

Does this handle connection pooling? I notice that in the README, the example establishes a connection to the database, and then the Express app runs. Is this a single connection for the entire time the node app is running in a process (yik

Nice library, but please don't use the underscore variable (_). So many people use Underscore.js and Lodash.js that it makes reading your docs confusing.

Seems like such a small amount of money to betray your users for. They are paying a much higher price for that now, no doubt.

Seems like this happens to everything that starts small and then experiences exponential growth. This is the inevitable change to anything that gets significantly popular. * Facebook started with colleges only, and lots of people lamented w

This is not unique to religion. We can't test or falsify the multiverse theory, time paradoxes, any naturalistic explanation of the origin of life, or any number of other scientific theories either.

There are tons of things that are falsifiable about the Bible and Christianity in particular. The Bible - unlike most other religious texts - gives many historic accounts of events, cities, places, timelines, people, kingdoms, lineages, e

Awesome. I used to run a similar service, but almost got banned from AdSense by users who received emails with adult content. What do you do to account for content in emails that users receive that may be objectionable to your advertisers?

I am currently a full time freelancer/consultant. The best thing I've ever done is to put myself (and my family) on a flat, fixed budget. All the money from my work goes into my business account, and I write myself a check for our

The article states: "The company is still sitting on much of what it raised in January, but it wanted to "err on the side of being really well-capitalised" in case markets cool down, Mr Collison said."

I am glad Obama is finally speaking up on this, but man. He sits on the sidelines for years without strong support for net neutrality (other than his original campaign promises), while the EFF takes up the charge fighting for net neutrality

Can anyone explain to me why having the dropdowns and other items in JavaScript is better than the DOM? Seems like we fixed this approach on the web 10 years ago.

The money quote, for the TL;DR crowd: "Duke Engines' 3-liter, five cylinder test mule is already making a healthy 215 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque at 4,500rpm – slightly outperforming two conventional 3 liter reference engin

"governments need to raise funds" Sounds like you are under the false impression that governments are the ideal size, need to grow larger, or are able to spend money efficiently. Almost all state and city budgets are in a crunch d

No system is perfect, but Facebook's "real names only" stance does work for the most part. I would bet the number of fake users and accounts as a percentage is much less overall than other platforms. Also as noted by others h

I guess this is a win for the LGBT community, but I can't help but think that this is a bad thing for Facebook and it's users overall. This could lead to Facebook losing it's main edge in having "trusted" and "

Man, this just smacks of entitlement. Software engineers are one of the highest paid professions in the world - FAR more than the average job, and the job is consistently ranked among the best jobs in the world in nearly every list made. No

I have built multiple apps in Titanium, and I have never experienced anything even remotely "horribly slow". The performance penalty is very, very small - undetectable to the average user. I am not sure the apps you were building,

You guys should just switch to JavaScript and use Titanium. Same end result and shared codebase. You can use the Titanium Studio IDE, but it's completely optional. I personally use it with vim and the command line, and it works beautif

Nice app concept, and good niche focus. I like it. Me and a group of friends used to get together for Ultimate Frisby every now and then, and I had always envisioned an app like this. We used SMS for communication, but that is so limited an

Most of the midwest looks like that - even in Colorado. Here's a streetview I randomly grabbed just outside Ft. Collins: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Fort+Collins,+CO/@40.33618...
