Hi Toby, thanks for taking the time to respond and update your page, much appreciated. With regards to open sourcing, let me make a couple of notes which might help change your mind ;) Firstly, open source is not the same as no control, or

This looks like a great resource, that is severely suffering from lack of accessibility (as pointed out by many others here). I emailed the author, hopefully they will be able to improve the usability. Following is the guts of message I sen

Just FYI, this is not strictly true. Most internet plans are metered, however you can often find a plan that includes unlimited downloads (and that does not shape bandwidth). For example, see [1]. It is still typical for plans to be grade

Bad data is not the same as no data . For example, the fact that somebody is willing to manipulate a statistic is information in itself, and could be correlated (positively or negatively) to an outcome. Part of working with big data is a

No worries :) I should have opened a pull request for you! Awesome to see the quick turn around on your repo, though I haven't seen it deployed yet. It looks like you are using Heroku to deploy, have you not deployed yet or do I need to ref

The design looks nice, and conveys the purpose of the site really well. Well done! Some of the copy on the front page could probably do with a revision. The use of capitals when describing the focus of a test seems odd and is a little incon

Could be a selective grab of one of Mr. Norton's quotes in the article: “The Morouns are greedy. They are manipulative. They are cynical.”

I think the main point there was that unless you check 'promises' given to you from other APIs and applications you can't rely on them conforming to the spec. As authors of Promises/A-consuming libraries, we would like to assume ... that s

I'm interested if they will release enough to reproduce the entire system, or only the client aspect. It's apparently using client-client protocols, but there is obviously some level of discoverability provided by the network that is a mone

Just curious, as I don't know enough about the two, what makes Opa similar enough to Meteor that the claim "[Meteor is] the only system of its kind in the world" is an outright lie?

A small point, but it would be great if your examples came with a render of what it looks like. The description helps, but without the visual to match it the context is slightly harder to grasp.

Thanks for that, it's a good snapshot of the current state of promises. The readme in the repository has some good discussion around the different features you mention here, but it would be really interesting to see a discussion around the

I think there is quite a body of literature around why 8-8.5 hours is a good amount, what I really want to see is what the different benefits as functions of sleep time looks like. That information would be invaluable for doing a min-max op

It's fairly common to see games in beta charge a usage fee, however I haven't really seen this in other software before. Not sure if I like it, but at least there is a free trial period as well.

Out of interest, what other libraries did you consider? A break down of pros and cons for each would be really useful, and I'm not sure anyone has done that already (at least I can't find any after a quick search).

I would love to see studies like this that further explore the relationship between length of time spent sleeping and health/behavioural benefits. For this study, did they choose 8.5 and 4.5 hours arbitrarily? Probably not, but a comparison

'Proving Theorems' is a grand sounding statement, but the reality need not be so glamorous! A Theorem as a thing is an encapsulation of a granule of knowledge or, even less precisely, something learnt which is known to be true[1]. To prove
