We are harmless geeks. Who really feels threatened by _any_ programmer?
Well done Google!
Re:Nodejs+Fabric as fast as multi-threaded C++ on Saturday November 12, 2011 @10:22AM (#3227952)
Extremely interesting. Since we're bench marking it with C++, is it safe to assume it performs much better than the JVM?

Not sure if it helped everyone, but it surely got me to upgrade.

>> Suddenly mr. C gets a call from his boss. “We’ve decided >> to rewrite our apps in JavaScript. It is pretty fast >> nowdays, ya know.” says the boss and hangs up.

Umm... Instead of proceeding to rewrite the app and author this blog, the author could have realized that JavaScript (or Scala, Java, Python etc.) could realistically be faster than C and should have explained the same to his/her boss.

Why is this Mac specific? This is exactly the sort of feature that must be cross platform.

Does Apple really think it will have a monopoly in the years ahead?

Re:Nodejs and MongoDB, A Beginner's Approach on Monday October 31, 2011 @11:19AM (#3177655)
To be honest, a good attempt by the author but I wouldn't recommend this to a beginner. Why? I don't recommend the use of the native driver - you end up with needlessly complex code.

I don't want to criticize the authors work. He's done a pretty good and thorough job. Hopefully I'll pen down an easier guide later tonight.
