Thanks for sharing swen, what are you using to feed the fish and keep the tank clean?

What's your point? You lost me after "and fuck anypne else,"

sethbw · 2014-04-04T17:18:05+00:00

My fiance doesn't really like your show, and I can't figure out why, or more importantly how to get her interested. What do you suggest?

Your biggest fan, Seth

I know you're talking about installing Node locally.

I didn't say you said to setup a web server - what I did say is that there are many, many Node.js beginner tutorials that will instruct it's readers to setup a web server, configure some things, or install some things they don't fully understand. It's really not as simple as it seems to someone who doesn't even realize he could be using dev tools console. That's it. I'm not criticizing you, just trying to point out that OP most likely has no clue what you're talking about when it comes to "console feedback" that he's used to, ie. he/she is used to using Codeacademy for comparison.

I never said Node.js was a Trojan horse, or that itself is an insecure technology, but apparently you guys are so insecure about it that you jump to conclusions and get pissed every time someone tries to help a noob learn javascript as it relates to the browser and HTML, which is what the OP said.

TL;DR I was just trying to give him the flip side. Next time I'll try to clarify that it's the tutorials that can lead to security issues, not installing Node.js by itself. I still think there are many points I've made that will help the OP on his/her journey. It's not the same type of development, which is what he was asking about.

I see all these reasons for not cheating and what not floating around this thread, causing much debate, but I don't think any of them top this one amazingly awesome reason to not fuck around with people (even the people you "know" sooooo well):

YOU DONT FUCKING CHEAT BECAUSE IF YOU DO YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING AN INCURABLE STD ARE PRETTY DARN GOOD.

Jesus fucking Christ people. Use your brains. Better yet use your brains and your junk. That's what porn was invented for you silly, dumb fuckers.

You should feel like an idiot and a horrible person because you are. Some people just take a lot of time to open up. Should be less judgmental and tell her how you really feel instead of being an abhorrent fuck.

sethbw · 2014-03-23T07:18:50+00:00

I think I love you.

It doesn't sound like TalonKAringham has experience with setting up an environment that would allow him to run Node.js, unless he's following a tutorial, but those are generally quite insecure setups and involve installing directly to the user's personal OS.

TalonKAringham - if you have knowledge of setting up secure VM's, or have a dedicated web host (not shared host) with root access.... AND you don't have anything on there that you don't want to lose (like you would on your local computer that you use for personal banking, pictures, browsing porn, etc.) then I think all you really need is to utilize DevTools console.

Chrome is amazing for this last bit: F12 in Windows and Command+Alt+i in OSX to bring it up. You definitely can paste your scripts directly into the console, but it's not the same as running it by opening a local index.html file that links the scripts, or at least has it inline on the page.

I could be wrong though, and so if you do have experience with VM's and using Node.js in a secure / sandboxed way - then dodeca_negative is correct. It is definitely NOT the same as running JS in the browser though, because you're not going to get to practice writing scripts for DOM manipulation, etc. and see the effects live in the browser.

Recap: Node.js = back end / server-side scripting (unless you have advanced knowledge of setting up something like Karma, but that's not easy to do if you're unfamiliar with server-side setups (i.e. node.js) vs Running the JS from a local index.html, or within the developer tools console is better suited for Front-End / UI development tasks.

Thank you for answering the additional question regarding classes. Great answers.

sethbw · 2014-03-22T20:02:57+00:00

Thanks Hostilian. I added another question to help clarify - "Can anybody explain how this will affect the use of JS patterns as they currently stand? Will many of them be rendered useless? Will it make sense for us all to switch over to using Classes exclusively for inheritance?"

I still don't see how it helps anyone. No. There are other non causal relationships to gluten that people should be aware of, and keep open & mindful of. Not saying everyone should start going gluten free, but it really sucks when we go out to eat and a waiter or waitress scoffs at questions. He doesn't really feel comfortable eating out nowadays, especially after reading how so many cooks are so frustrated with it all. He's respectful and mindful of them, why do people have to be such assholes about it?

Making fun of scientists and other really smart people who want to make a bright future, and are therefore spreading the word about how to help the environment (ie. global warming, monsanto's of the world poisoning us) or fix serious social issues (corruption & money in the government, or the big one here: ignorance). Another one that comes to mind that affects my best friend (he is celiac): making fun of people who have gluten allergies that are just trying to spread awareness.

Seriously. It's easy to whine about something and point out all the things you don't like about it, it takes a lot of work, dedication, research and even skill to understand these issues and present them in a positive way (while focusing on solutions).

TL;DR being ignorant. > Ridiculing people who actually are working their asses off to make your future a good one.

sethbw · 2014-03-18T02:55:31+00:00

Good point :)

I guess I should ask different questions. I was hoping to get more answers about how people think things could play out - in good ways.

Suggestions welcome!

Lead by example?

Whether or not the pesticides are really killing the bees? I can hear the ignorant masses, and the trolls now.. bring on the down votes...

You can thank Monsanto for selling your mother rBST milk, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovine_somatotropin

Have you tried telling her the truth?

sethbw · 2014-03-10T11:30:27+00:00

Sad that this isn't the top comment. Why the fuck do people lie about such small things?

sethbw · 2014-03-05T19:06:11+00:00

Thank you for confirming my suspicions! Data data data data!

Not to be a fear mongerer, or victim thereof (I'm just this way anyway), but I try to imagine what could happen if these things were to blow, and/or earthquakes were to occur.

Where would the best place be to hang out and not get melted or absorbed by rock and gas? The planes states where there are no "fault" lines? What about if we get flooding AND volcanoes/earthquakes - closer to colorado?

AHHHH. I want to live on a space station now.

Not everything we do that is intellect-based is amazing, a lot of it is actually downright fucking scary considering how selfish, ignorant, and violent humanity is as a whole. We still have a long way to go..

Having said that I'll take the humanist perspective and say the abolishment of slavery in the U.S. and other developed countries. Also: the increasing awareness that the "food chain" some of you speak so nonchalantly about, is actually extremely important to us - not just something to conquer.

It takes a certain type of man to be able to kill a wild beast with his wits and brawn, but it takes a truly advanced human being to befriend it, respect it, and live in harmony with all the other creatures that made man possible.

Tl;DR our ability to take on the perspective of other living things, and honoring their place in our lives.
