   It's something I've considered. As a now resident of Hong Kong, I was surprised - and delighted - with how incredibly easy it was to handle my taxes. Front-to-back, I could do the whole thing, including payment, in less than an ho

   Cool site! I really appreciate this information, you did a great job. I just wanted to remark on a few UI bits that drove me nuts: 1. The social links. Not only are they not necessary, but there appears to be a bug with the Facebook widget

   I'm not doubting that it can beat V8, in a mature project with very significant programmer time behind it. But I find it very hard to believe that one weekend of fiddling with an LLVM javascript engine is enough to produce results bett

   I agree - there's no way anyone is going to beat V8 at its own game in a "side project" that was done over a weekend. However, the benchmarks they are showing are primitive types only; it's not hard to believe that perha

   FYI, npm is rolling back to an older cert that they used a few years back. It's a GlobalSign cert, and the GlobalSign CA has been in npm since Aug 2012. When it propagates their global CDN, old clients will be fixed without breaking ne

   Thanks for the updates and finding the time to post during what's certainly been a hectic day.

   I see. And that old cert will work with old npm clients? Additionally, what are your thoughts on signing the digicert CA with the npm CA as mentioned here [1], thus fixing old clients and avoiding another cert switch? 1. https://

   So you're reverting to a cert that is not the old self-signed cert?

   I'm worried about this - they state: We are rolling back to the older cert now, but since the registry is distributed by a global CDN this process is slower than we’d like, and we don’t want to break things (further) by rushi

    I agree 100% about React - I can't help but think that an editor based upon it could really speed up all the DOM manipulation that holds back every webkit-based desktop app. Re: Web workers, this probably isn't news to you but you

    This is the right solution - unfortunately, socket.io has been essentially abandoned, but it's the library that everybody knows, and is mentioned in almost every node+websockets tutorial. We get questions about socket.io all the time i

    There's been a surprisingly bad number of font bugs in the last few months. It's bizarre; I haven't seen browser bugs this visible in years.

    That's something I've recently added to Backbone.LayoutManager[1], but it's still sitting in a PR while we figure out the 1.0 API. The PR is complete, however, so feel free to use my branch. It does offer very meaningful spee

    You're right in a sense, it generates more garbage than mutable objects because there is more data available than with mutable objects. In most cases it won't matter. Of course if you're holding a global interface undo queu

    If you do end up using RequireJS, using r.js is practically a requirement. Declaring asynchronous dependencies in a production build is murder for performance. Grunt's grunt-contrib-requirejs[1] does a good job of traversing your depen

    Is it really, though? Aside from RequireJS's subjectively awful syntax (I have built a few non-trivial applications with it, and find it generally very noisy) - it simply does not do many of the very useful things that Browserify does.

    The people in that Debian thread[1] completely misunderstand how Node packages work - the 'jshint' dependency is in the 'devDependencies' section of the package, which means it is not installed by default when `npm ins

    To be honest, I wish people would stop mentioning this project until it actually usable for real projects. I have attempted to build a sass task for Fez and failed when I realized that the core project simply does not have the ability to be

    This is my favorite vertical centering method [1] and combined with the table/table-cell method, it allows me to avoid using JS for layout about 95% of the time. It's not very well-known and even though I've used CSS for well

    What they're getting at is that the vertical aspect of margin:auto (that is, margin: 0 auto vs margin: auto) has absolutely no effect in your example. For your own credibility (since this purports to be a "complete" guide), t

    Looks like a great project. Is it just me, or does it seem like cljs is making a big stir these last few weeks? After a few years with NodeJS, I've always wanted to do some more purely functional programming; I've seen a lot of bu

    For example, there is a long-standing bug [1] where an improperly configured job using "expect fork" can cause upstart to become completely confused and unfixable without a reboot (or a really hacky ruby script [2]). As the commen

    Bizarrely, this article is cut off both in the stream version of WSJ and in the direct article link. But, if you go from the Google link, you can see the whole article. Shady behavior on the WSJ's part. https://www.google.co
