One difference is that in dynamic typing, if the object doesn't have the method, the runtime will tell you it can't be done. If you mutate DateTime when the rest of the code expects it not to change, the runtime will let you, and you'll onl

I can find icons that kinda look a bit like those that were removed ( http://dribbble.com/shots/875799-Designer-News , http://dribbble.com/shots/800428-LayerVault-icon-set-for-del... ) but nothing that's a direct copy.

You frequently don't control the API's your hitting. I've seen plenty of API's that don't support bulk operations. I'm not sure I'm convinced if someone doesn't know how to do a bulk operation they're more likely to look because they've got

If you're demonstrating or introducing a CSS library/tool, I'd recommend not minifying the CSS on the page. A few places I inspected the elements to see how it was working in the real world - i.e. this site - and it's a bit of a pain to wor

It seems to be JavaScript, not Java. Semi-colons are great for real programming. They help deal with ambiguity when you want to split something over several lines yadda yadda let's not have the debate here. But I don't see it's utility in s

They want to love it because the idea is great. They don't love it because it doesn't deliver. Sounds like you both agree.

Except it doesn't. At least, not when I try it.

It isn't creating a new anonymous function every interval. It's created once and passed in as an argument. It's presumably the call stack that the memory is used for.
