   What is tail call optimization? How does it usually work? There's an implementation example on the Wikipedia page to answer this question a little bit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_call

   Mozilla's "phoenix" legacy is alive and well. I have been very skeptical of Mozilla even very recently as Firefox's many performance problems seemed insurmountable. But here I am after many years of using Chrome typing in this box using Fir

   You don't need to run queries, you subscribe to queries. As the data updates your app will be able to react to it without having to run a query. For really "big data" you are probably going to want to supplement your application's architect

   This was really fun to be a part of. Meteor.js is pushing a new way of building real time web applications. They're on fire and pulling me back to JavaScript even as I want to experiment with other languages like Go and Rust. They really ha

   The connected nature of the internet and mobile devices reduces the cost of disseminating information. It doesn't discriminate about what information is made easier to share. Expecting app stores to play gate keepers sets a dangerous preced

   Can you please give some details because that's quite a damning statement for a company that professes to be build on enterprise ready infrastructure. I would default to be skeptical of statements like yours, everyone has downtime.

    I think this is wrong: "Error:Chrome's version of flash has a bug which prevents sound from being recorded." A quick search in Google found that you can use HTML5 to record audio in Chrome: http://codeartists.com/post/36746402258/how-to-re

    It's cached by URL, so I would assume (but haven't tested) that a different protocol would be cached separately.

    I don't know anything about growing meat in the lab, but it doesn't sound very appealing and I've lost any desire to eat meat long ago so I don't really care either way. The theoretical potential to grow meat isn't in any way a convincing a

    Nope. It would require less farming to feed people than to feed animals and people to eat those animals. Energy loss is an order of magnitude. If you ate the plants instead of eating the animals eating the plants it would be more energy eff

    San Francisco is not beautiful. There are nice residential parts, and it isn't a boring place, and there are lots of great technology companies. But this city is not beautiful. Have a walk around the civic center if you doubt.

    I'd say I like how the thing does what it does, and I even like the overall simplicity of each of the functions which seem easily testable. I just don't like the JavaScript very much. > var node = arguments; > node.i = results.push(

    Your project is interesting, and you put a great deal of work into it and it is pretty much amazing. I generally don't care about what language an app I use was written in. What has gotten under my skin is the naming of things that are not

    CoffeeScript is like a chameleon, conveniently a language when it serves its proponents in an argument and not when it doesn't. I propose that CoffeeScript is a language, complete and separate from JavaScript and that people start treating

    I'm going to just always flag CoffeeScript libraries that get posted with a .js extention. It is too much effort to put into looking at something only to find out it's not what you thought it was. I don't look at Clojure or Rails posts beca

    I would probably dislike CoffeeScript a lot less if I didn't keep running into CoffeeScript examples on *.js libraries. CoffeeScript has made things worse for JavaScript developers, not better, because it's everywhere now and I have even se
