Pay gated content has been tried in the MMO space to varying degrees of success. The main problem with it is that the gates split your community, effectively reducing the userbase of your game. As a non-pay example, take WoW (I did Vanilla-

I'd expect `(:bar foo)` to desugar to `foo["bar"]()` since the keyword is being used as a function. Property access in clojurescript uses the ugly `(.-bar foo)` syntax.

I asked via twitter: https://twitter.com/vvuk/status/330119715546624000 some known bugs that cause us to use way too much transient memory while loading. Fixes incoming.

Dear lazyweb, Is anybody able to get it running on android? The nightly has both asm and webgl but is showing up as unsupported (and not just doing UA sniffing).

I bank at a credit union [1]. I specifically remember one year where they sent a letter saying roughly "We made too much money. Your account has been credited with your share of the excess." Of course, that's what a credit union implies but

To follow up on this, I configure my editor to de-emphasize parens: http://gr.ayre.st/s/images/parens.png I can still see them if I need to but they have the same visual weight as tabs/end of line spaces. I like this because it makes it f

Splits came to vim way before tabs did as a result I use splits as vertical pseudo tabs: nnoremap <c-j> <c-w>j<c-w>_ nnoremap <c-k> <c-w>k<c-w>_ Which does both split navigation a

My .vimrc used to have: nnoremap - :Sexplore<CR> Which opens netrw when you hit the - key. I now have it mapped to ctrlp instead (ctrl+enter in ctrlp to split open).

The stars look like this in the fall, in the western US, 60+ miles from the nearest city, and above 5000 ft. I've spent a lot more nights camping on the east coast and while you can see the milky way if you're remote enough, the altitude or

The Mozilla guys have mentioned a compressed JS AST representation as the bytecode-like option if you take the asm.js approach to its logical JS VM as runtime conclusion.

by grayrest 14y ago
Crossing the JS to C++ barrier is not free [1]. Compiling the C to asm.js allows everything to live in the VM and avoids this cost. [1] https://github.com/felixge/faster-than-c is a talk by a longtime node contributor on this topic.

Part of the reason the Clojure code is ugly is because he's basically doing imperative code in a functional language. Here's my (highly annotated) take: (ns nurblizer.core (:gen-class) (:use compojure.core) (:require

If using swank is impractical, the Clojure community is in the process of shifting from swank to nrepl. I haven't looked into the details of either but wanted to point out another option.

You can get pretty far with regexes but you run into non hygenic macro problems. I use UltiSnips with regex snippets and python replacements and have gotten interesting stuff out of it like the JSON key quoting. The problem is that I have t

I am aware of Evil. I actually like and am happy with Vim and I have enough customization invested over the last decade that porting my plugins is painful. The list was mostly just a response to the 'never switch' sentiment.

I'd agree. It's more like a composable set of shell scripts at the moment. How things fit together differs quite a bit from other build systems I've used (make, rake, ant) and after a significant amount of cursing, I've come around to it. I

Grunt has a core file selection abstraction. Adding mtime source/destination checks and removing files from the list as needed should let them add this without issue. When I looked at the file internals for a bug I encountered I didn't see
