Why not invest in cross platform for such a simple app?

http://pad.haroopress.com/ - Not sure if open source https://github.com/bianchimro/markgiu - last updated 7month ago https://github.com/danielking/docular - last updated 9 months ago

These are node-webkit editors, as an easy-to-contribute example.

NodeJS article/blog module. Think Ghost.js but more in the form of a module (not only a "package/platform"). I'm really just building it for somewhat selfish reasons; be a portfolio piece, run a portfolio, to speed up a high-traffic blog and to experiment with ways of creating content more efficiently for users (Such as built in infrastructure for adding article templating + web scraping + markdown for text bodies and comments etc.).

Ideally I'd love for there to be a way to explicitly modify database structure, easily and predictably, and have it all just work in several SQL dialects, so that you could meld the engine and the admin interface etc. to any project whether it's a blog or not. I feel like most of these bloggy engines make database structure either invisible or too difficult to understand and minipulate.

Definitely want to open source it proper, build it to be extendable etc. Don't care about competing with anything else, just want to be another option out there. Nothing all that special but maybe my use-cases will create something that fills a niche.

I don't know how complex the computations are, but if it's close to the computing required by standard loose-accuracy water fluid simulation, we could certainly see it in-game, definitely possible even for this gen of consoles. I speculate as water simulations is quite doable even on 5 year old hardware, though tends to be inaccurate. I remember seeing some Nvidia demos showcases things like softbody destruction and collisions a few years back too, so that also could translate.

There are also some really rough tessellation techniques in use to simulate ground snow walking in games out now, like that Assassins Creed with the native americans.

Actually the major issues are; low atmospheric pressure and radiation (which is related to atmosphere density, as is temperature).

So live underground in air-tight domes, at least in the beginning before industry takes off.

To actually fix the cold, pressure and breath-ability? My bet is on either a heavily optimized artificially created vegetation that exploits Mar's soils enough to generate greenhouse gases, or, more realistically, shit loads of (or massive) machines doing that same thing. Here's to hoping 3D printing-esque evolutions in technology and automation permit this to happen within 150 years instead of 500.

quim05 you're hellbanned, bro. Apparently from your very first comment 2 days ago, that's somethin.

I dont understand those job ads. What kind of person honestly describes themselves as such? Maybe I am just too jaded, but god damn, note to self: kill myself if I ever use one of those titles.

Yeah this point needs to be stressed. CS is just javascript. You're not suppose to use CS unless you know JS well. Enough said.

I suppose beta blockers are prescription only in most countries? Been reading up on them, sounds like they would come in handy during a job interview or something.

Caffeine is only a mild diuretic, and only for those who haven't built a tolerance to it. You're right though, Caffeine sure does have side-effects, especially withdrawal effects.

It's precisely about noise. I suppose you haven't had to deal with the kind of people I have or else you may not be regurgitating this politically correct trite. It is simply objectively superior for one man to be understood better than another. It is about the other persons ability to understand them with as little effort as possible, and when you need to ask them "Hey, wait, explain what you mean by this [fucking gibberish noise]" you have just lost time and patience. Respect is not something one is entitled to.

I mean, shit, how is this any different from me jumping in and contributing to a Git repo the language of which I haven't mastered? Should I not lose respect when my PR's have syntax errors or use bad practices? Fuck that noise indeed.

It's great that you can take criticism. I've interacted with quite a few Asians online who literally believe their English is perfected, yet their written words read like they are proper idiots. Your English is pretty great though, in comparison. I think you will find you will gain a good deal more respect among fluent English speakers and programmers alike when you master the language.

Curiously though, CS still doesn't support yield despite there being solid PR's, no matter how many times I thrash the refresh button on the github's issues page.

Yeah, I thought the same thing concerning the REST api, after mulling it over a bit. Being tied directly to an app could be a bit awkward in practice (Bit of a problem when either can take either's process down).

That image made me chuckle. Had to confirm that it was just sourced from google images; but still. :)

For some stupid reason I hadn't considered that logging stdin/out/err to a web interface for my node.js web apps via websockets. To think, I made a browser-side web IRC interface, and didn't consider this. It would be so useful for my clients, who don't know how, or find it too archaic to ssh in.

To just open up the admin area and see what's going on, provided they're indeed full-permission admins. Then, to actually send input from said interface, that could make ssh'ing into the server something one need not do often beyond initially setting up the app.

Thanks for the idea. Assuming we're not running as root, and the admin side of things is secure, am I not considering any critical pitfalls of this approach? Also, any frameworky cmsy thingers that already do this? Is this new, am I a unique snowflake?

Considering I was just googling about, wondering why I had such awful scrolling FPS, seeing this prompted me to just make a userscript [1]. Just load it up in greasemonkey. Tested in FF2x.

Works on all pages, just adds the pointer-hover: none to the body element. Using modified code from the article. Quite useful, really. I'm surprised at how often I subconsciously guide my cursor away from content while scrolling pages to prevent hover effects popping off.

>Same reason most of us are here on 4chan, just morbid curiosity.

I also find deodorant to be useless.

I can anecdotally attest to my own strategy. I buy rubbing alcohol. Have a shower, clean the problem areas. Shortly after I get out I apply the alcohol to my arm pits, and if I think I'm going to really be sweating I spray some over my upper back, chest etc. Nothing close to the amount one would use if they were spraying deodorant. The result is that I can go several days without any bad odor, even when I sweat so much that my shirts are saturated, they don't even smell, to me or anyone else.

The side effect of doing this is that I am far more sensitive to perfumes and deodorants people use, and they just aren't at all pleasant in the quantities people feel they need to use to smell "nice".

Implying western countries produce too many children relative to the death rate. Overpopulation is far more prevalent in the underdeveloped countries. If their standard of living improves, with enhanced education (contraceptive) the populations are estimated to balance out to that of Western countries.

Western countries have to worry far more about immigration than birth rate control.

This site has been shown here several times over the last few year(s), and it still looks pretty useless. No UI improvements, no Stylus frameworks, no framework size or mention of stuff like CSS resets.

It's pretty useless considering the fact that most of all frameworks already will work with the modern browsers, and thus why would anyone begin their selection based off of browser compatibility? I will say that knowing whether it's open source, and whether it's responsive-ready is nice.

At the very least a preview picture for each framework's common elements would make this kind site useful.

It's not Karma. It's the fact that your comments are persistent. On 4chan, they have a life between a few minutes and a few days, and that it really. No persistent ID to lay "claim" to your work. It's not about whether someone else can identify you by your comments, its about the psychology of creating something that will exists for an indefinite time, that your peers will read and judge, and thus judge you.

You feel the same feeling even when contributing to 4chan, however, you know it wont matter for long thus it's far less mental weight to deal with.

You bring up an interesting point to discuss.

I see this kind of "shock" throughout the techy mainstreamy politcally correct communities. It seems to me that the people that take issue with bigotry are themselves somehow weak through some kind of insecurity manifesting itself as a desire to fix this perceived "injustice". Because, you know, muh feels.

4chan just doesn't care about your feels. It's funny to say this (see how I am distancing myself from 4chan to add validity to my argument?); but I do think more communities could learn something from 4chan in this aspect.

On a related note; I saw that outrage thread linking in the 4chan post about this black chick getting some dude fired and what not about a non-PC joke at a conference. Then, in the HN thread [1], to my pleasure, at least the top comments were mostly absent of the typical reddity/facebook etc. white knighting "This is why women arent in tech!" nonsense.

I concur, doesn't feel right.

I think at the very least, have a message saying "This information was shared when you did X" so it's at least explicit.

Possibly just not at all; methinks the github crowd, unlike the facebook crowd, are sufficiently privacy sentient.

Isnt echoing errors like that a security issue? Im not implying it necessarly is, because it's obviously conveniently useful for debugging.

This is pretty much the only important question

> 3 second to get HTML

No server should take more than 100ms-500ms on a sufficiently cached page to process and to begin transferring, in non-edge cases. The only thing that could take that long is a shitty datacenter/vps, and as such, transfer speed/latency limits will encumber all types of requests.

In the end, you still have to transfer data from databases, so ignoring that, client-side template rendering seems like a non-issue to me. Surely it's never the latency issue unless you're serving at ~100+ requests per second, which translates to many millions of requests a day, and I don't believe 99% of websites are doing this.

Good points. Perhaps structuring it in a way to allow for a flat file or redis/nosql/sql might push a particular schedule module into greater favor, at least for those of us who want our apps to consist of minimal different db methods.

Pretty much why I cant watch Colbert anymore. In the last year or so, perhaps I have changed, perhaps the show has; but it's like a quick-gratification joke circus to me now while The Daily Show seems like it's getting lazier.

Looking at these scheduling modules, I wonder to myself why saving a .json file wouldn't be more simple. Filesystem cache, available to all workers on the system and no dependencies required.

I mean, if you're worried about cluster workers file reading being slower than a db connection, the json store could be write-only most of the time and only read on app startup while schedules are synced over cluster messaging.

Not unless their JS has ajax calls in it. But technically yeah they could, but, it's a pretty stupid fucken idea considering it would be found out almost immediately and suddenly it has become a blacklisted addon, their reputation has been destroyed etc.

Additionally you could just not update the addon ever if you're OK with it right now.
