You may be thinking of Clojure and ClojureScript — with a J. It's confusing naming, but those are different, and are not Google products. In this thread, we're talking about Google's Closure (with an S) Library. Google also m

So, this is not exactly related, but I see that you also work on Firefox OS, and I assume part of the reason for this project is to improve location services on FxOS. I got a ZTE Open to play around with, and was disappointed to find that

OK, I can see the case for that nitpick. Perhaps neither implementation is particularly "polished" in this regard, and the JVM one just happens to fail faster due to a statically-typed host environment. Polished or not, though, th

Cool! How do you plan to deal with theft? Most bike lights are trivial to steal. I tend to avoid the fancy ones since in my experience lights disappear immediately as soon as the bike's parked (unless I remove them and put them in a ba

I'm not aware of a good reason to prefer ClojureScript+Node.js in general. Maybe if you wanted interop with a specific Node library, but otherwise, Clojure on the JVM will tend to have vastly better performance, and the tooling is bett

It's perfectly practical. GIMP did exactly that for years. The 2.8 release notes[1] mention removing the warning now that save and export are separate. The stated goal was to make it harder (still? I guess people clicked through the wa

That's a recent change, and yeah, one of the worst examples lately of open source developers' contempt for their users. Apparently, those of us who've used Gimp for over a decade to edit .jpg and .png files and save them back

That's different. Browsers need to show your password to external websites to prove to others that you're you. This requires storing the actual password. They expose saved passwords in the UI because if they didn't, it would

That couldn't be a less accurate description of Firefox OS. aimed solely at content consumers : No. FxOS phones can't do as much as a Nexus 4 or iPhone, but they aren't meant to compete with those. Mozilla's targeting e

I actually have seen complaints about Go's performance relative to other compiled languages, like C++, D and Java. I don't think it's coincidental that most of the Go converts come from a dynamic-language background. If you&#

I disagree. It's not idiomatic in, say, Python, to catch every possible exception, only the specific ones that the programmer thinks are likely to occur in practice.

I love how there's a thorough "what's new" document for a still-in-progress release, and terms like "provisional API" are linked to a glossary that tells you exactly what they mean. While Python is not the mo

Interesting. I had a different experience in Montreal (and my mother when she visited Paris): we would try to say a few words of French, and people would immediately realize we were American and switch to English in response. Maybe your Fre

I've found NYC almost as bad. Just being able to afford the rent isn't enough. Here, yearly income 40x rent is standard, and sometimes even that's not enough. Since I'm doing contract work and don't have a regular s

Unfortunately, Firefox and Safari still don't provide column numbers in error stack traces, only line numbers, which are next to useless if your code is minified. Here's the Firefox bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org&#x2

This one is my favorite so far :) Very sleek. But I wish it distinguished "tar" and "snap" to give a subtle cue as to pronunciation. What if the "tar" part were set in a slightly heavier weight?

Airbnb would make recognizing that it's your property nontrivial. They don't show a specific address until a reservation is accepted; the point on the map is randomized and can be a few blocks away; photos are supplied by the host

Worked fine for me too. I think it might do that if you've already been logged into a Google account and signed out. Try deleting your Google cookie(s) entirely.

I mean the font, not the overall design. While I admit I can't rule out the possibility that the design on the left side of the image unconsciously influenced my reaction, I tried hard to only look at the font.

I imagine Comic Sans fits, but you may want to include a fallback to sans-serif for non-Windows users. I'm getting the default serif font, which is not a great match.

Why does that matter if bar.org doesn't and isn't supposed to support HTTPS, and if there are no links to bar.org via HTTPS? In either scenario if someone manually types in https:// bar.org it's not going to work.

Not to my taste — looks really stodgy and conservative to me.

Agreed. The "r" looks heavier weight than the others to me. (Though I can't be sure if I'm only noticing because you mentioned.)

Nice. It looks like I was misinformed, and I now have much less reason to avoid the Bay Area. Thanks for clarifying. Though biking a 5 mile long bridge with no bike lane on half of it sounds terrifying, so I'd probably consider it stil

However I hear that because BART shuts down early every night, you can't go to a nightclub, or even out to dinner, or work late(!) on the other bay, because once BART's closed, you're out of luck. No bike or pedestrian access

Might be less obtrusive to favorite instead of retweeting. (Edit: This assumes you can get a list of favorited tweets ordered by when they were favorited. I just noticed the web interface orders them by time posted, not time favorited.)

There's nothing crazy about that. I've known lots of people who dumpster-dive. A college roommate of mine lived on nothing but free and dumpster-dived food for several months when he was broke. Even when he had money he liked to d
