Baliwon What’s New in Node.js v0.12 – Performance Optimizations

Does anyone know of a resource tracking the remaining todo's left before Node.js 0.12 is released?

Every time I ask what the projected release date for 0.12 is I always get a "When it's ready" response. That's fine, I understand the uncertainty of software development like everyone else. But there really should be a continually updated todo list of line items that when done will mark the release of the next version.

I'm excited about generators and Koa. I just want to get an idea as to whether I'm looking at a month, 6 months or a year before I can use them in a stable environment.

Baliwon Go, or Ruby or ExpressJS for an API?

Here's a couple links that touch on Node.js vs Go performance.

Baliwon Go, or Ruby or ExpressJS for an API?

Depends on your needs. If you need to get something up and running quickly, I would recommend you stick with Ruby.

If you can afford some extra time to learn a new framework then both Go or Express/Node.js are great options that would enhance your skill set.

Node.js and Go are both growing quickly in popularity. They're much faster on the execution side than Ruby and provide additional optimization opportunities via the ability to query more than one external resource simultaneously and combine the results into your API's response.

If you do decide to go with Node.js or Go, Node.js is currently the more popular of the two. You're more likely to be able to land a job or freelancing gig with Node.js skills today, whereas you're more able to contribute something meaningful to the Go ecosystem by getting into it now.

Personally I prefer coding in Go, but most of my client's request Node.js.

Baliwon GoConvey: Go testing in the browser

Very well done!

Baliwon Ask HN: GO or Ruby on Rails?

Depends on what you do. If you're looking to do freelancing then you'll find a lot more jobs if you're strong in Ruby.

Go is growing rapidly and we'll probably see quite a few full time jobs looking for Go skills in the years ahead. So if you want to invest in future hire-ability then Go isn't a bad place to use your time.

Baliwon Ask HN: Is a Bitcoin 2 feasible?

There are more than a few already.

New ones pop up every few days.

Baliwon Ask HN: How to implement 'free trial' that is acceptable to Google AdWords?

Option 2 is your best bet. There are several hardware ID's you can use. Network MAC address is probably the least likely to change.

If you can't leave anything at all on the system then you have to use something that's already on the system that doesn't change as a key.

Baliwon Ask HN: Do you see the future in Go?

I think a lot of people are beginning to see a bright future for Go.

Word seems to be spreading. There's certainly a growing interest.

Baliwon Real-time visualization of worldwide Bitcoin transactions

I don't see any visualization data other than a map. How would this even be possible in a decentralized protocol that does not publish originating or destination IP addresses?

Baliwon PayPal hardware powered by Go

Awesome! It's great to see more large companies doing projects in Go.

Baliwon Fuck Google Plus

I haven't seen her channel, but she speaks of 'building a brand'. She's obviously either making a living or attempting to make a living off her content.

It's not an over-reaction at all on her part. If you spent thousands of hours building a business and then destroyed all your efforts, you'd be pretty pissed too. And it's not enough to just have backups of the content. She had a following. It's way more time consuming to create a following than to create the content.

Baliwon Fuck Google Plus

This is obviously a horrible user experience. She's right. Why would any user make the connection that deleting their Google+ account would delete their YouTube channel as well? It's not intuitive in the least and it shouldn't happen. But if it's just the way things have to be then they should have ample notifications that it's going to happen before you commit.

Baliwon Try Bitcoin

Very nicely done! This is a great project to help raise the awareness of Bitcoin. I'll definitely be passing this around.

Baliwon Why compiled Go programs give a warm fuzzy feeling

Nice succinct description of why Golang rocks. When your app compiles, it usually just works. That's not always the case, naturally, but more often than not it's true. It's very refreshing coming from a dynamic language where you often times don't find issues until run time.
