My thoughts exactly.  I imagined law enforcement officers responding to a robbery or some such armed with those things and the criminals have a portable transmitter to shut the guns down.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

We never use such a word in contexts other than programming for a set of letters sticking together, and yet – in programming it’s as pervasive as the word “variable”. Why is that, and where does it come from? Because "hunk of characters that probably aren't numbers" was to long?

That was a very lengthy read (and granted, somewhat interesting) to basically state (though I don't think he ever did actually) that "string" is shorthand for "string of chars", just like we might say a necklace is a string of beads, or an idea is a string of thoughts, or a sentence is a string of words. Basically, anything that you can drill holes through (literally or figuratively) and lace a string (literally or figuratively) through to create a sequential arrangement.
And that string was considerably shorter than that article!

Last year and at the beginning of this year, we asked you, Node.js users, to help us understand where, how and why you are using Node.js. The joy of being this year's cool tool
Also: Node.js users use Node.js. More breaking news as it comes in.

Javascript (and therefore by extension Node.js) does some things beautifully well. The way in which it implements asynchronicity using callbacks is simple and straight-forward. The fact that functions are first-class citizens makes for highly reusable code.
But then there is the absolute clusterfuck that is type coercion.
It has some good parts and some bad parts. The trick is to know which is which.

Agreed. And like my experience with Ruby, Javascript can look beautiful in the hands of an expert. In everyone else's hands (including mine, BTW, but I'm learning) it looks like a bowl of spaghetti. Granted that is true for any language, but some languages seem to inherently promote that kind of coding more than others. One day I'll sit down and think about it and write an article on why.

I think the reason why node's gaining share is that while in the idealized blog demo form it and rails both look elegant; node also has the reputation of decent performance while rails performance has become well known as a glacially slow cluster-elephant.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Amusingly, I find that in some cases JSON can prove even more verbose than XML.
