Node.js Anyone?

terrence0488 — Sat, 17 Jan 2015 03:26:47 +0800

Hi guys!
Do anyone of you here know about or actually developing web application with Node.js.

Node.js Main Site

As I try to look for anyone who are learning or enjoying playing with Node.js in Malaysia, I can't find any. Seriously...
So I was thinking "Am I the only one here who know about this?". But this can't possibly be true. I mean there must be some people outside enjoying learning this as well.

I started to hear about it since 2012. But recently I started learning it. It was only for fun and I din't expect that it can do anything useful.
But I was wrong. VERY WRONG. Once I begin to get into it, I was like..."This thing is the sh*t."
It's a very new thing. But not too new. It is absolutely mature enough for production.

Ever thinking about using JavaScript on the server side? Well, Node.js is basically a platform that allow you to code your server side stuff in JavaScript.
YES, you hear me right! JavaScript on server side. Crazy right? I know....
Thanks to the V8 Engine from Google, the execution of JS code can be so high performance that we can now use it to code some serious complex application.
So why is it so interesting? Why is it better than other popular platform/language in Malaysia like .NET, PHP, J2EE & etc.??

I guess the important thing here is the non-blocking nature of JavaScript itself. And the event-driven programming style of node.js. And how we can now create web application with one language across all stack. Last but not least, the awesome and big open source community that keep supporting it and come up with cool library.

The advantage of using Node.js is that it enabled us to create high performance and highly scalable real-time application.
When we put this three things together (High Performance + Scalable + Real-time) it has never been a simple mission for anyone, but maybe that is no-longer the case with Node.js

Anyway, it is too much to talk about here in one thread.

For people who are interested to it, you may find bazillion of tutorial online or books for Node.js, just google it.
Here I would like to also recommend you to look into this MEAN.IO, after you have a little knowledges about Node.js
This book can be very useful too.
learning about thing like Angular.js and MongoDB can be very valuable to you too.

As we can see that the world of software today is going toward somewhere very interesting.
People are becoming more and more rely on digital device, which lead to more and more data to handle when we are talking about software application. And not to forget that people are getting more and more demanding in term of performance and the outlook of our application.
So if we want to stay in the game, we must keep learning on new technology that make all this possible.

I wish that I can find people in Malaysia who enjoy learning Node.js as much as I do.
And who knows we may even try to start a Nodeschool in Malaysia for knowledge sharing.

Dilemma on choosing a career path

terrence0488 — Thu, 25 Sep 2014 21:44:03 +0800

I'm a software developer with 3 years of experiences. Since graduated, I worked for 2 SME.
My goal is that I would like to become a solution consultant. So, now I need to try and get into a functional role more than technical role.

Do you guys think which is more important in the early years of a consultant carreer life? :
1) getting expose to more domain(industry) before settled with one
2) Try diff role such as developer, functional analyst, business analyst, junior consultant and etc.

I'm now working in a healthcare software vendor company. They can provide me opportunity to try diff roles. I may request to switch to functional role from a technical role(developer).
If I go to a big company tat recently offered me a job as developer, I can get experience of working in MNC. But if I wanna switch my role, it will depends on my luck. But I will be able to gain knowledge in other domain.

Put aside the problem of salary and benefits.
Which do you think is better for me??

Btw, I'm 26 now. Should I be worry more about my role or my domain knowledge?

New disease like AIDS?

terrence0488 — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 09:57:50 +0800

QUOTE

Chagas, a tropical disease spread by insects, is causing some fresh concern following an editorial—published earlier this week in a medical journal—that called it "the new AIDS of the Americas."
More than 8 million people have been infected by Chagas, most of them in Latin and Central America. But more than 300,000 live in the United States.
The editorial, published by the Public Library of Science's Neglected Tropical Diseases, said the spread of the disease is reminiscent of the early years of HIV.
"There are a number of striking similarities between people living with Chagas disease and people living with HIV/AIDS," the authors wrote, "particularly for those with HIV/AIDS who contracted the disease in the first two decades of the HIV/AIDS epidemic."
[Related: U.S. relief program prevented 741,000 HIV/AIDS deaths in Africa]
Both diseases disproportionately affect people living in poverty, both are chronic conditions requiring prolonged, expensive treatment, and as with patients in the first two decades of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, "most patients with Chagas disease do not have access to health care facilities."
Unlike HIV, Chagas is not a sexually-transmitted disease: it's "caused by parasites transmitted to humans by blood-sucking insects," as the New York Times put it.
"It likes to bite you on the face," CNN reported. "It's called the kissing bug. When it ingests your blood, it excretes the parasite at the same time. When you wake up and scratch the itch, the parasite moves into the wound and you're infected."
"Gaaah," Cassie Murdoch wrote on Jezebel.com, summing up the sentiment of everyone who read the journal's report.
[Related: Coming soon--an over-the-counter HIV test]
Chagas, also known as American trypanosomiasis, kills about 20,000 people per year, the journal said.
And while just 20 percent of those infected with Chagas develop a life-threatening form of the disease, Chagas is "hard or impossible to cure," the Times reports:
The disease can be transmitted from mother to child or by blood transfusion. About a quarter of its victims eventually will develop enlarged hearts or intestines, which can fail or burst, causing sudden death. Treatment involves harsh drugs taken for up to three months and works only if the disease is caught early.
"The problem is once the heart symptoms start, which is the most dreaded complication—the Chagas cardiomyopathy—the medicines no longer work very well," Dr. Peter Hotez, a researcher at Baylor College of Medicine and one of the editorial's authors, told CNN. "Problem No. 2: the medicines are extremely toxic."
And 11 percent of pregnant women in Latin America are infected with Chagas, the journal said.

Shud I buy from dell or self assembly?

terrence0488 — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 09:54:59 +0800

I need a new rig to do my work.
my priority is:
1) Fast CPU
2) Durable mainboard
3) Graphic card that give acceptable performance when using High resolution (23" monitor)

Dell is selling XPS8300 with i7 at RM2672.
I check the price from the C-Zone pricelist provided by lowyat.Net, with roughly same hardware , cost about RM2600.
but if i get it from dell, ther is a 2 years warranty, and a better looking casing.

Specs:
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit (English)
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-2600 Processor (3.4GHz, 8MB Cache)
No Monitor
2-year XPS Premier Service with 1-year CompleteCover
McAfee® SecurityCenter™ (Multi-Language) - 15 Months
4GB (2X2GB) DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz Memory
1TB SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive with Native Command Queuing
Single Drive:16X DVD+/-RW with Dual Layer Write
AMD Radeon HD 6450 1GB DDR3
Integrated high definition 7.1 channel audio

Should i just buy from dell? Or is ther anyway to get it cheaper?
