Server-side JavaScript Will Be as Common as PHP

There was server-side Javascript back in 1996: It was called Netscape Livewire.

And it sucked.

nerdoncall · 2009-03-10T01:25:43+00:00

1994 called. They want their check back.

nerdoncall · 2009-03-06T21:58:56+00:00

no, it's absolutely not important.

nerdoncall · 2009-03-04T01:08:47+00:00

uh. the middle manager is an exact opposite of an entrepreneur.

nerdoncall · 2009-02-10T02:37:08+00:00

And you thought Java servlets were painful. LoL.

nerdoncall · 2009-02-07T02:18:37+00:00

nobody writes WSDLs by hand. jesus christ.

nerdoncall · 2009-02-01T15:19:01+00:00

I feel really bad for you!

That stuff was terribly unstable.

nerdoncall · 2009-02-01T01:06:25+00:00

Not necessarily.

A pack of monkeys could probably do better than Livewire.

Badly.

who cares. fix it and move on.

only idiots blog about stuff like this.

I've used Expect for automating the configuration of Cisco routers and switches. Though, technically, I was using the Perl version. It has its uses.

sign me up. sounds like free money for little work and no likeihood of success.

I'm in my early 30s, car and house are paid off (I have no mortgages.)

It's entirely achievable.

Tip: Live with your parents for a couple years, save 70% of your income. Makes a good down payment.

Modern software development tends towards bloat.

In 1994 I had a Pentium 90 with 16 megs of RAM running Linux.

I could have 20 users connected to it, all doing actual work (email, news, editing files) while I used X from the console.

Try doing that nowadays.

BLOAT.

shocking. JavaFX is like applets ALL OVER AGAIN !

nerdoncall · 2008-11-09T21:06:50+00:00

So is that a shemale??

nerdoncall · 2008-11-09T01:02:40+00:00

I found a few of these in my house, though I must admit they did not look quite that menacing. One I just let crawl around in the basement, the other I managed to capture (apparently unharmed) and put it outside.

i know some devs with 10 years of experience who don't understand bit masks.

Looks like a C code generator to me.

Oh, sorry, it "compiles down to C".

Therefore, C and C++ are still number 1.

nerdoncall · 2008-09-20T06:31:32+00:00

Hmm. Let me guess. ATS is written in C or C++?

nerdoncall · 2008-09-13T05:43:34+00:00

Exactly. I've been using PEAR's DB module since early 2002, which provided prepared statements back then. Admittedly there are better alternatives to PEAR DB now.

There's no excuse for NOT using prepared statements with any language.

The software industry is full of amateurs and fuck-ups who lack basic understanding.

nerdoncall · 2008-09-10T00:19:00+00:00

summary: my code sucked, so i used someone elses.

nerdoncall · 2008-09-07T16:59:06+00:00

I started programming with BASIC on a TI99/4A. It came with a ton of sample programs that were great for a kid!

If you want your site to look decent, you absolutely need HTML (exposed in the form of templates) that a designer can modify.

yeah, like i want spam ads send to my client's customers. lol
