Anything less than Node's package requirements is going to be useless. There should be absolutely no wildcards in major version numbers, with warnings in medium. They are the curse of Node!
There are 100bn neurons in the human brain, each has upto 7,000 synaptic connections. You would need some factor of 10^14 bytes of RAM, assuming you're storing only one byte per synapse that's 636 TBs... Try again in 39 years?
Yes of course. I am assuming the only reason to refine Java Script on the server is to leverage revision across all platforms on the client side. After all, only a lunatic would choose Java Script as a server side language.
Java Script requires so many additions you might as well revise the whole strategy. Along with the next release of the Java Script, defining a standard web virtual machine on which JavaScript is initially implemented could provide many advantages:
- Develop using the same language in the browser as you are at the server.
- Translate classes or assemblies to and from the web VM using technology similar to JNBridge http://www.jnbridge.com/, opening to the door to all Java and.NET languages.
- An XHTML element could specify the URL for a compiler or interpreter, providing complete compatibility initially and opening the door to many possibilities in future.
I'm referring to programmatic interaction with the browsers DOM interface once the document is loaded.
Why? Primarily because Javascript is an awful language. As the emergence of GWT and countless other web 2.0 Javascript API's indicate, there is a lot of work being carried out in Javascript to bring more interactive UI to web pages. There are a number of advantages that introducing other languages thru a.NET or Java VM could bring:
- Javascript is not a language that scales well to larger teams and projects. It's loosely typed, not strictly OO, no standard documentation support, the list goes on.
- Staying within the browser DOM enforces more searchable, indexable semantic content.
- Allowing other server side CGI languages, like Ruby, Perl to interact with the same language on the client side.
Perhaps I'm a bit off topic, this could be more relevant on the Silverlight 3 thread.
Moving away from the DOM is ultimately going to confound searching engines and the namespaces they index. It would be nice to see Javascript running inside a VM - CLR or JVM, followed by other languages with the same access that Javascript has. Making Javascript a language under.NET in IE, perhaps using the Java VM for Javascript in Firefox etc. This may lend itself more readily to an indexable semantic web in the future.
For reasons not fully understood, it appears that the sizes of central black holes and the masses of their galaxies, especially the central bulges, are almost perfectly in step.
Is it therefore safe to assume the black holes are only redistributing gases within each galaxy?
IANAAP, even so I wonder, if gases are being forced through the centre of black holes in some form, through four or more dimensions, what is the net 'jet' effect on the direction and velocity of the galaxies?
The refusal of ISPs to move to an un-metered revenue model is the force which is strangling mobile software development. Where would the Internet be today if ISP payment models remained as they were in the early 1990's? In actual fact it's worse, at least those ISPs charged per minute and not per byte. It currently costs around £2 via most UK ISPs to download 1mb of data.
With this in mind, who do you suppose is hindering the role out of municipal Wi-Max?
Metering data thru mobile telco's isn't just shameless profiteering, it is foolishly crippling the development of the mobile internet market.
In the meantime I wonder if Newspapers as a medium are capable of making the transition to the Internet and incorporating the new freedoms that brings? Slashdot is way ahead it seems in dealing with some of the issues raised by offering discussion forums, as an article being discussed in today's Guardian CIF : The bullies' charter by Linda Grant makes clear.
So you think we should pay more!? I think I preferred your original argument!
I'm certainly no authority, but I think what you're suggesting could be achieved by examining the netblock owners of the route in an IP transaction between endpoints. In this way the revenue taken from us the customers by the ISP could be divided by each of the network owners between the customer and the content provider.
I do not understand the idea of random networks charging content providers for their bandwidth.
I already pay *my* ISP for my bandwidth.
Content providers already pay *their* ISPs for their bandwidth.
My ISP wants to charge the content providers for delivering their content?
So that means my intraweb tube becomes free for me, right? Consider the situation from the ISPs perspective: the way the Internet is used is changing, the arrival of video on demand requires the implementation of multi level caching and multicasting. Their argument is simply why should they reduce the revenue they're currently generating?
Of course the ISP market is a competitive place, ultimately the ISP that can deliver video on demand from the most content providers without an additional charge to the customer will dominate the market. The complaint "We can't get Sky or BBC from our ISP.", isn't going to favour any ISP.

IBM and Red Hat are correct:
The project seems to have slipped backwards, as this slide from 2014 indicates the implementation of version requirements.
Whereas the 2016 documentation stipulates:
"A module's declaration does not include a version string, nor constraints upon the version strings of the modules upon which it depends. This is intentional: It is not a goal of the module system to solve the version-selection problem, which is best left to build tools and container applications."

If the computer is the generic machine: the Internet is the generic means of digital retail and distribution. But does anyone really want to prevent peer to peer file sharing?
I really wish they'd bring that show back.

Aside from the RSS feeds of Slashdot and the main UK dailys, I like to read semantically or search engine generated feeds:
Delicious popular tag 'politics':

Google News search 'biodiesel', an endless stream of positive news:

I'm hoping that Delicious may eventually allow combinations of tags, e.g. popular uk+politics.

Would the cold spot then seem to be a 'shadow' of something in the higher spatial dimensions from which the big bang originates?
Any idea where the WMAP cold spot is relative to the centre of the universe?
