Yeah man, I'm working on it. That site isn't even mine. Someone on the IRC created it and just posted all that info. I wasn't really asking for handouts.
I had a few coins left and started selling them at a high rate to try and counter my losses.
I want to get mad at you for talking trash, but it's obvious you've had issues with me for a while. Why don't you just let it go? We've never met before and you really don't know anything about me.
You threatened me with the handgun that you said you had in your manhattan apartment, stalked me, publicized my profiles on various websites in an IRC channel ostensibly about programming, violated (plagiarized) the intellectual property of some nice people I'm rather fond of, lied about the former and continue to do so and to top it all off...
...keep trying to play the nice guy act because now you have some skin in the reputation game because of your nodejitsu thing.
No, I'm not going anywhere. People deserve to know what a scumbag you are, especially if they're going to be doing business with you. They can make their own decisions after they have the facts.
N.B. His behavior against me was triggered by my calling him out for not apologizing for plagiarizing code.
No one asked me to leave, and there was certainly no "we" involved.
At the time you were dox'ing me, I was busy (getting ready to take a trip to SE Asia IIRC), and mostly absent. When I saw what was going on in my logs, I left of my own choice, no one said anything to me except for a couple members of the community that told me what you were doing.
Anybody (what few I did) that I spoke to about the incident were quite perturbed by your behavior.
I don't think you're actually capable of understanding how inappropriate and erratic you were acting.
[15:09] <JimBastard_> ive got like 200+ gigs of VSTs
[15:10] <JimBastard_> and then like 30gb of just drum samples
[15:10] <callen> listentorick: here's how this works
[15:10] <JimBastard_> pretty much every VST i could find over a 5 year period
[15:10] <callen> listentorick: you mention something JimBastard_ thinks he knows about, then he one ups you
[15:10] <nefD> you can use it as a musical scratchpad if you want to mess around, you can use it in live settings (pun intended) very well (at least, in my experience), and its extremely competent for full fledged composition
[15:10] <callen> listentorick: best thing to do: don't bother.
[15:10] <listentorick> :)
[15:10] <caolanm> haha
[15:10] <JimBastard_> always with the personal attacks, everytime
[15:10] <JimBastard_> i've never produced or released any music
[15:10] <JimBastard_> http://myspace.com/yeoldewreckingshoppe
[15:11] <listentorick> when I create the killer app which I'm failing to think of, I'll get a shiny mac
[15:11] <JimBastard_> (links a shitty myspace that hasnt been updated in years)
[15:11] mitkok has joined the channel
[15:12] <callen> JimBastard_: at least I don't sit on IRC one-upping people when they're discussing their passions.
[15:12] <JimBastard_> no, you are just a hater who doesnt produce anything and attacks people he is jealous of
[15:12] <callen> :)
Let's go find your last days on the IRC. I'm trying to have conversations about servers and you are interrupting us with...I don't even know.
[09:20] JimBastard: yeah, with rackspace i get to control the guy going to the rack with a REST api
[09:20] JimBastard: hrmmm, i need more traffic on our sites right now so i can stress test the new fucking proxy version
[09:21] V1: The 3 minute install is only possible if you actually have rackspace account
[09:21] JimBastard: V1: aye
[09:21] JimBastard: <3 rackspace

[09:24] callen: JimBastard: boo
[09:24] JimBastard: ?
[09:25] callen: JimBastard: ?_?
[09:26] callen: JimBastard: you know Hans Zimmer?
[09:26] JimBastard: from the die hard movies? yeah
[09:26] callen: lots more than that, but sure.
[09:26] callen: JimBastard: pure dramatic orchestra kitsch. It's like cotton candy with string and brass instruments.
[09:26] callen: JimBastard: I am addicted ;_;
This is the last thing I saw from you on IRC:
[01:21] callen: JimBastard: boo.
[01:22] HAITI: cheers
[01:22] ehaas has joined the channel
[01:22] JimBastard: ?
(nt for a while)
[03:09] callen: JimBastard: wake up.
( i stopped responding at this point , no point getting trolled on IRC )
If only there was some way we could verify any of this. Ohh yeah, http://nodejs.debuggable.com <= Full logs of the node.js room.
So what is this troll accusing me of doing? I've threatened you with a gun? Let's jump to 09/02/2010. I am "JimBastard", and you are "callen".
[21:31] JimBastard: would any judges who wants to promote testing in nodejs vote for our project? with an hour or two to go we are trailing by a very slim margin for the utility category. the leading team had more judges vote on their stuff, so they have a higher weighted score.
[21:32] tjholowaychuk: JimBastard: which one is above?
[21:32] sschuermann: JimBastard: What are oyu pointing out to?
[21:32] MikhX_ has joined the channel
[21:33] JimBastard: tjholowaychuk: we are being edged out by, http://nodeknockout.com/teams/prague-js . seems like a good project, but i feel ours has more long lasting utility
[21:33] JimBastard: i wouldnt want someone to vote for us without looking at both projects objectively
[21:33] JimBastard: we are, http://nodeknockout.com/teams/the-nyc-nodejitsu-ninjas
[21:34] callen: JimBastard: if I give you a gun, will you start shooting people who complain about javascript's type system?
[21:34] siculars has joined the channel
[21:34] JimBastard: callen: for 5 star votes right now, ill do just about anything
[21:34] JimBastard: also, i have my own gun so just tell me who
[21:35] JimBastard: :p
[21:35] jesusabdullah: While I wish my own project was doing better, I really liked the idea of prenup
[21:35] callen: JimBastard: grumpy java bastard trying to learn js. driving me nuts.
I'm fully aware of how Developer Works operates and that IBM isn't directly responsible for any of the content posted.
With that being said, the clout gained from being posted on IBM.com means a lot to many people who have no idea how Developer Works is run and randomly come across the article from a google search.
It's poorly written, but it doesn't seem to be "full of misinformation"; maybe a couple of things are right only under certain circumstances (depending on what DB you use, etc) but it seems to have a reasonably clear view of what's up.
... it's just not bootlicking enough for your tastes, right? Some of us actually consider it an enormous red flag when a community flogs some technology as superior to everything in every conceivable way, and starts burning heretics who suggest that perhaps there is some use case it isn't quite so good for at the stake. Such communities often end up actually destroying their own technology, because it turns out that being able to clearly see the weaknesses of your approach is a critical engineering skill. Every approach has weaknesses.
(Especially when said tech is less blazing a new trail than cruising down the smooth, well-maintained highway filled with fast food and gas stations.)
The best thing that could happen to Node is for the cult adherents to disappear.
"Instead of spawning a new OS thread for each connection (and allocating the accompanying memory with it), each connection creates a process, which doesn't require the memory block to go with it."
"Currently, Node doesn't provide a default way to create dynamic pages."
"Yes, Node is a server program. However, it is definitely not like Apache or Tomcat. Those servers are stand-alone server products, ready to install and deploy applications instantly. You could be up and running with a server in a minute with these products. Node is definitely not this. Apache can add a PHP module to allow developers to create dynamic web pages, and programmers using Tomcat can deploy JSPs to create dynamic web pages. Node is definitely not this."
"Image file server
A company that has a large distributed website (think Facebook or Flickr), could decide to devote entire boxes to simply serving up images. Node would be a good solution for this..."
"Currently, Node doesn't provide a default way to create dynamic pages."
I don't see one either, am I missing something? http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.4.7/api/ (I do see one mentioned in "Recommended third-party modules" but that's not "default" or to use probably a better term, batteries-included.)
Node does not seem to be generally pitched as a framework to push out more templated page-oriented PHP-style web pages. Isn't this supposed to be most of the point of Node.js that it's meant for other use cases that are poorly-served by the page-oriented servers and frameworks?
And for that last one, while it is true Node wouldn't be my first choice I have seen sites based on Apache where I could see using Node.js to server images and do something else Node-y. Some common configurations of Apache can be really freaking heavyweight per-request before it even necessarily gets to your code, and using a separate server to serve up static assets is common. True, Node wouldn't be my first choice but I'm not sure it's necessarily a terrible choice.
The first one is true; like I said, it does have errors, and is generally poorly-written. But I think a lot of it is that he's writing from a perspective that you don't share, but not necessarily a wrong perspective.
> I'm surprised he didn't just write a 10 line script that wraps a command line utility and call it a day. Oh right, he did.
What's up tlrobinson?
I wrote a stop gap hack to get stuff done while I prototyped the JSONloops format and merge algo. tmpvar and h1jinx then helped out with writing an irrklang wrapper to get low latency playback when my side was ready (see: https://github.com/Marak/JSONloops/blob/master/vendor/play.j... ). Now that both things "work" I want to improve the project.
Why the snarky comment? I'm just trying to have some fun with a little side project. :-(
Edit: ...then complain when the moderators decide it's crap: @paulg, I'm sure you don't care when sleeping on your pile of money, but the people moderating Hacker News are a cancer. Your site is doomed (https://twitter.com/maraksquires/status/67123612653592576)
> Just not sure why you feel the need to package up this kind of trivial stuff and spam HN with it (under a different username, for some reason: http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=marak)
That account has been silent-banned for awhile ( as most of my accounts have been for flaming / trolling people). I cannot use it anymore. Notice all the submissions are missing?
What would you like me to do?
I don't understand why you are hating on me. I've never done anything to you or interacted with you in anyway.
If you consider the work I did on https://github.com/marak/JSONloops to be "trivial", then I implore you to build your own multi-user real-time audio sequencer that work's in the browser and is written in 100% JavaScript.

Out of curiosity, why do you feel the need to flame or troll people on Hacker News?
Awesome! I look forward to meeting you one day. I'd love to hear your reasons for having a problem with me considering I've never spoken with you before in my life.
I don't know what the deleted post referred to, but I'm certainly not surprised that folks here have a problem with you (without having met you), since you admit above to having had a number of accounts here you used for the purposes of flaming and trolling.
Do you seriously think that is going to endear you to the community?
if they don't allow it on the forum, and the guy who writes this is reading this thread, email me at jmtame at gmail and I'll be sure you receive $100 over paypal (I'll verify with the OP)
I had a few coins left and started selling them at a high rate to try and counter my losses.
