  1. You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in gli on Node.js and MongoDB Turning JavaScript Into a Full-Stack Language · · Score: 1

    All they need to do now is shoehorn PHP and MySQL in there somewhere, code it all in notepad and you have the development stack from hell.

  2. It has to be something on The World's Fastest-Growing Cause of Death Is Pollution From Car Exhaust · · Score: 1

    Well it has to be something, What would people prefer it to be, smallpox?

  3. Breaking the link between production and labour on Automation Is Making Unions Irrelevant · · Score: 1

    Once the link is broken between production and labour then socialism can actually work. If we can produce limitless quantities of anything then no one will ever have to do without anything they want ever again. This is progress towards that goal. Bring on the startrek replicators.

  4. Re:Dear God, why? on Book Review: Sams Teach Yourself Node.js In 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    JavaScript is a horrid language. Nonetheless, it's the only widely supported language for client-side browser code, so we're stuck with it there.

    But why on Earth would anyone even consider running this abomination on a server, when there are many other, better languages designed specifically for server-side code?

    Completely agree with everything you said, Efforts should be made to replace it with something better on the client side rather than helping it spread like some horrific cancer to the server side as well.

  5. Reasons the kids work hard on Silicon Valley's Dirty Little Secret: Age Bias · · Score: 2

    The kids work hard because they want to get to where the 40 year old is, they want their career to progress and see working hard as a way to get ahead and prove themselves to their boss. How long will they continue to do that if they see there is no actual career path and that they will be used up and spat out by the time they are 40 ? Also technical skills are the easiest part of the job to learn, The skills like teamworking and experience are what takes years to build up, often at great expense but people with out wisdom and experience rarely value those commodities. Zuckerberg and his friends will get old and like almost everyone else they will wish that they could know what they know now 10 years ago and maybe they will realise how foolish they have been.

  6. Re:Most Gamers are Male. on 72% of Xbox 360 Gamers Approve of "More Military Drone Strikes" · · Score: 1

    That wasn't the question that was asked. More drone strikes is more aggressive than less drone strikes.

  7. Most Gamers are Male. on 72% of Xbox 360 Gamers Approve of "More Military Drone Strikes" · · Score: 1

    Most gamers are male that may have something to do with the support for a more aggressive action.
