Got the PB287Q here, it does do 4K/60Hz on windows but still waiting for support on Linux. Max is 30Hz on Linux as of date, (pretty sure, I googled like a mad man).
I worked up the restaurant industry, opened my first restaurant in 2007. Second in 2009. In 2009 I was 24.
Leased the first location, bought the second for about $2 mil, ($100k down)... Economy took a crap, road work, city restrictions, fking Denny's decided to open right next to my first location. I closed in 2010. Sole-Proprietor. Combine taxes, bills, loans, etc.. I was looking at around 1.5 mil in debt. I had $400 about at the time. The newspaper had me front page for closing, social media blew up, everyone wants to know wtf happened.
I made ALOT of mistakes, not saying I am a complete victim but it hurts... REAL bad. So I ran and hid. Couldn't own a bank account, had to move. All those "friends" ain't friends we you are in the gutter. Worked random jobs just to eat and pay rent on a shared room in a new town. Decided to code because it looked better than my bartending/sales jobs.
Learned code and now in the industry. Its fun to hear people get VC help, a co-founder, community support, nothing really on the line but other peoples money and time. Not saying that it's everyone or even the OP, but things could be sooooo much harder when falling from grace. When you get on your knees in front of all your staff and beg the power company rep not to shut off the lights, you are pretty close to that wonderful feeling. "Run it till the wheels fall off.."
Sorry you had a bad experience, bud. I am on a team of six, all pretty experienced with Node, and we don't have those issues. We've been going production on it for about a year and a half now. People cried a little in the beginning because it was different but now that we have embraced (and love) callbacks, we rip through development pretty quick. Things aren't always done for you but it's getting pretty rare at this point.
I have been seeing this a bit on HN... To the OP and anyone else dealing with a situation similar:
This is going to be the worst time of your life. God forbid you have to go through it multiple times. You can't "save" people. Their misfortune is not your fault. You support, as much as you fucking can, you pay bills, you sacrifice, you love, you care, you show up! But at the end of the day, try to feel the love and not the anger and depression.
It won't "save" your loved ones, but you can save yourself from letting their sickness eat you as well. I feel so bad for this kid, real or not. I was just their in December and lost my second parent. I too share the burden of debt and stress and nightmares, all of which are immense. I hope she makes it, and if she does, give her the time with her son that she probably deserves. If she doesn't, you should first focus on just breathing, the rest of your future is dictated by letting your emotions go the course and not regretting supporting your loved one through the fight.
It's kind of like being a boat with your loved one and it's sinking. Everyone is watching it sink. You scream and yell all you want, but everyone knows its going down. Soon you sink and it stills shocks you, even though you also knew it was going to happen. Don't try to breath underwater.
Don't go to an expensive school. Second, work while you go to school. Lastly, you don't have to finish and get the degree, just get the foundations of what you need and a few great connections.
If you don't go to college, you won't get college experiences. Trust me, college experiences are some of the best in life.
If you go to a super expensive school and don't work, really depends on how much money mommy and daddy got, plus you don't want to be they guy who shows up for a Web Dev position with all your fun algorithmic theories but you hand code new functionality like a chump.
Either way, you'll be fine if you're typing if-then statements but get some life experience, too, or else you'll just be a nerd with no stories, aka lonely.
I really am just curious if anyone has got a solution to educate kids who normally wouldn't receive an education with computers at all.

I have had the chance to play with Sails and I really like it. Just a warning, this is a great tool for simple web apps. I wouldn't take the Sails path if you are going to do something a little more tailored, (like Nodejs + PostgreSQL w/ Sequelize + Redis for sessions + memcached + MongoDB for analytics + passport w/ Oauth2 + etc.. ), I would leave that to express + express-routes. I would definitely chose Sails for demo'ing a product idea or personal projects I want to get up and over with as quickly as possible, and Sails is REALLY quick.
I can't wait to see how Sails evolves, they are some damn good dev's.
