If that was the case then async functions would be useless, since the global scope is not an async function. You can call async functions from regular functions, they will just return a promise. You can then use normal promise handing behav

This precisely describes the feeling I got when watching the video. He consistently provides explanations/examples that make complete sense in hindsight but are pretty hard to come up with in the first place. I feel like this video kin

This is only for data, no voice, right? Otherwise how would you negotiate with the other carriers/federal body to generate/register valid phone numbers? BTW how do you handle roaming? Does the SIM card only work for your particula

Having access to the source code doesn't mean it's "open source". Open source has to do with being able to reuse the code yourself, not to being able to read it.

While the submission link technology doesn't allow for this, it's being worked on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNoOiXkXmYQ Still sort of rudimentary, but the foundation is there.

So, hash tables don't really work like this. There's no reason for the "FOOBAR" password to be stored close to "FOOBAZ", if you pick a well behaved hash function. You might get to know how many passwords are on

This is all already possible with current HTML, except for the namespace stuff (Which is too verbose, and was ditched after the failed XHTML effort, since it never really caught on anyway). You can already create your own custom HTML tags w

I think one possible way of fixing that counter-counter-PAC problem is this: Instead of focusing on the politicians themselves, trying to convince them to only accept money from disclosed sources, one could focus on convincing the existing

Because of iOS's sandboxing, it's really hard for apps to get info outside of their own "container" of sorts, so it doesn't matter much if they can access the Internet. Keyboards from third parties are an obvious ex

The problem I see with this spec (and the current implementation in browsers) is that you can't trigger a copy without having the user manually press ⌘C or do the platform equivalent command for that. That way you can't implement

They probably have a lot of licensed proprietary code inside it, so it could be hard. What they could do is release critical components (like the JavaScript VM) as Open Source and gradually open more and more of their code base.

I understand your point, and do think is valid to some extent, but keep in mind hundreds of AI experts and thousands of cores for half a century still fall several orders of magnitude short of an entire universe running natural selection fo

I have another question, could be seriously stupid: Do you need to have a strong, glowing light on the top of your computer for this to work? Could it use the monitor backlight? Imagine if the Apple logo in a MacBook is actually a Li-Fi &qu

You can map Caps Lock to esc. A lot of people who use Vim do that.

I wonder why nobody has forked Wikipedia yet. There's no restriction to doing so, is there? To avoid having super high server costs, it could even be a "soft-fork", where only the pages which are edited are stored locally, al

How does one explain the frozen clouds? Are those actually possible? How do they remain afloat if they're more dense than the atmosphere?

That is known as the bootstrap paradox ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_paradox ). You could argue that the entire point of the movie is to highlight this specific paradox that can result from time travel. As wit

So it's essentially the same thing as the "Scaled" display modes of the Retina MacBook Pro. An interesting approach.

I specially liked the illustration ones. I wonder if perhaps some database of public art illustrations could be somehow consulted to generate covers for the books without illustrations?

Considering these drones have GPS and Celular connectivity built-in, shooting them down would not be a very good idea, since the owners would quickly take notice. The built-in video camera can also be used to record and transmit images of t

Spaces can be escaped as %20 in URLs. I do agree that the domain specific language is weird though, and would even require new DOM APIs to manipulate it directly (like the style attribute does).

It's also possible that such an AI exists and hates having ever been created, so it wishes to punish everyone who helped create it. You can't know whether you're on the simulation of the AI that wants to punish those who didn

This is an amazing idea. Would allow the entire flexibility without having to whitelist specific styles, and close 100% of the information leaks.
