Who cares? If I'm on a train heading home, I don't want my conversation terminated because I get too far away. Just link the rooms to one or more relevant locations so people can find them initially, then let people favourite them or whatever so they can rejoin later without having to be in that location.

Yeah?

EDIT: typo.

Anything is possible.

I wonder how hard it'd be to get JavaScript/ECMAScript onto a better encoding.. Do we actually have a "better" encoding?

Seconded. I've never gone to conferences though, but I've always felt I learn more via online sources and/or experience. I've been trying more Twitter recently, but honestly I think I'm giving more than I'm getting from it..

This is probably abundantly clear, but someone has to say it. You need to refactor that beast and split it out into separate files for development. Add a build process to smash it all together for you. End of story.

Here I was hoping for a new, cool and exciting open source facebook clone :(

So, I found this from back in 2011: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/ibm-patent-gpu-accelerated-... However, I couldn't find any commercial or even (active) open source projects on this topic. It seems like something that would be valuable to businesses working with big data, so what's the hold up? Has nobody reached this scale yet? Is it still too expensive? I don't get it.. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

What are blu-rays like for the rising 4K/UHD resolution? If that takes off, could we be looking at new format requirements? Higher bandwidth? Higher capacity? What about 3D? What about beyond that, holographic?

I don't know. This is all speculation, but I would grant Gabe the benefit of the doubt here. Over the next.. 5+ years, who knows what the entertainment world might be like?

Or more simply, you can't help people who don't want to be helped =)

I used to have the same gripe with Firefox for a good couple years. Turned out my profile had.. something.. in it that was slowing down nearly every activity. I'd strongly suggest nuking your Chrome profile and any other lurking config or cache if you can. In my experience, old browser profiles seem to sometimes hide slow juice as it were, haha.

For now perhaps.. I think the point he was trying to make is that even those areas are changing over time. Who is to say eventually that hardware or a language won't make them redundant? Just look at the leaps and bounds Go is making for example.

If you weren't alone, maybe things would of been different?

Because anyone with half a clue knows that anything you put on the Internet isn't safe. Law bound or otherwise, lol

Apparently? I'm also not a fan of the value format, let alone the attribute name. Beggers can't be choosers though. Glad we're getting somewhere.
