Wait what? Wouldn't a js2js interpreter just be eval()??? How is this more than a joke project?

I have no idea, it was incredibly annoying on myspace. It's still used on tumblr but thankfully not as much as on myspace, people still include autoplaying music players however....

Yes he used to post on HN quite a bit, most of his posts get down voted into oblivion however because few knew who he was and his mental illness makes for some abrasive comments.

I think he's getting at the fact that this is more of a resource repository and not a place to sell your designs. Still kind of a stretch to say he mis-read however.

I can name many friends of mine that talk down towards the iPhone because their <current state of the art android phone> has more cores or ram or ghz, but what does that actually materialize into? If the extra performance doesn't

Are those really graphically heavy? When I think graphically heavy I think of games like Infinity Blade. Candy Crush has extremely simple 2D graphics, same with Farm Heroes Saga and Clash of Clans.

Top downloaded apps are not the same as top used apps. I'd be willing to bet that many users are completely oblivious to (or simply dont care about) the app store and are perfectly satisfied with the default iPhone apps, I know both of

It would make sense, bigger device allows for larger die and more ram, battery, etc. Seems like bigger devices will usually squander their extra resources however and have similar performance to the smaller devices.

Seems like Apple really knows what consumers want. I spend about 90% of my iPhone time in Safari/Chrome. Advanced 3D graphics are nice and all but I rarely take advantage of them, I'd expect that most users are the same.

I have 16GB of ram in my machine, I'd rather use 4 of that for a responsive browser than 1.5 for something that is constantly locking up with more than a few tabs. FF might be better for older, low end machines but now a days low end m

Yep, a fully specced macbook pro costs around $2500. I'm betting you can get the same specs at around $1000 - $1500 from someone else. What you won't get is the insanely nice display and build quality. You'll likely get a shi

Really this, I hear from a lot of people that Apple products are shit because they are much more expensive for similar specced devices but no one ever considers the hardware outside of the specs. Sure I can get a huge Galaxy note XYZ with 1

Try uBlock, it is much faster than ABP and uses way less resources. Or do it the good old fashion way and use a HOSTS file with the added advantage that ads will be blocked on your entire computer and not just your browser.

I use uBlock mainly for performance reasons and not that I don't like ads, I will usually whitelist sites that are not crazy with ads and that I want to support.

IMHO they have no other choice, the community has suffered enough from the 2/3 split as is. They don't want to risk fragmenting the user base again.

Yes that's what I'm saying, "unless humans want it to" still qualifies as natural. Humans are natural and a part of nature and so anything they create is as well. If a beehive or beaver dam is considered natural then so

You could easily argue that everything that ever was or will be is natural, not really sure why the word is still used to describe products.

Yep I'd have to agree. While I'd rather use meteor for this task since it's native javascript on both ends, the killer feature for meteor is really the data binding across the client/server gap and not the ability to wri

I disagree with your statement that native code is the way to go for snappy drawing apps, maybe for low end hardware like what you're using but for more powerful hardware there is no downside.

Cutting edge would be something on node most likely. Bleeding edge might be something like meteor.

Vanilla js is not that hard when you have thing like document.queryselect or you're building trivial web apps. Sadly when you're building enterprise grade software and you have to support things like Internet Explorer 7 it makes a
