Indeed, I was hoping for a new scripting language, and if someone was going to do it would have been Google. We're stuck in a JavaScript only world until something replaces the browser ten or twenty years from now. With (nice) ECMASCri

Why does such a large geographical region lack wood? Really? Maybe they just don't care and are happy with cement buildings.

Pretty terrible that such a thing is even allowed by Windows. This is why as a user I like Apple's OS X sandbox.

Blizzard has a huge fan base and have had much success with recent games like Hearthstone and the build up to Heroes of the Storm is also looking very promising. SC2 has stagnated and Diablo had missteps but they've made bold steps in

I support the author and what the bank did is just absolutely wrong and outrageous, but I just want to clarify that this is not a freedom of speech issue. Freedom of speech refers to government restrictions on limiting the right to voice yo

It is possible to write software like photoshop for ChromeOS, thus it is a real computer . It's just that no one has. Nobody has written this kind of software for Plan 9, and a computer with Plan 9 is still a real computer .

In ES6 there are iterables that one uses `for...of` with. Rauschmayer of 2ality has said that `for...of` should be used instead of forEach and I wonder how that will affect composability in functional programming. I quite like the concept o
