What does the 45% of light that is in the photosynthetic range have to do with the with the efficiency of solar cells and LEDs? It would be more direct to compare % of natural light that is in photosynthetic range with % of LED light that i

Design choices, in terms of the code structure and what is maintainable to you vs another person, are subjective in that they are often driven by personal choice and a sense of what is elegant. Your thinking is too left brained.

Whoops! Nicely placed! I have not noticed it in 100+ hours of usage. Thank you :) It's way at the bottom and the front page as well as most posts are too long so I don't think I rarely scroll all the way to the bottom. It would be

The Saudi royal clan has some very sick people. Most of the conflict in the middle east is financed and/or instigated by them. The Germans had concluded their involvement in funding of some of the 9/11 terrorists. Not sure if it&#

Hand wavy arguments as to why this is a bad idea are ... well, just hand wavy. << Solar is ~20% efficient LED's are less than ~40% efficient so you would need more land area for solar farms than you save by growing indoors. On to

I thought the vertical stacking makes more efficient use of the light than the single layer you find in a farm or green house. I thought that means even though the light is produced inefficiently the vertical stacking cancels out that ineff

Solar is not free above sunk cost? We've ran a whole house in AZ exclusively on solar the last 7 years, with a ~$40K investment. Would this consume so much electricity that the initial cost will not be recouped before the solar system

You're not getting the point. Or I'm not able to transmit the point. I think a bit of both. Coding is an art form if to you code is art.

Imperfections in an art form like Glitch are the substance, not the dirt. Same way, imperfections in JS make it so much fun to work with, for the sufficiently insane. Taking a puritanical approach to programming and weeding out the imperfec

<<Ultimately we want you to be able to seamlessly use Dart code from JavaScript>> That IS key to the slippery slope of adoption.

The ability to mix JS and Dart in the same web app (and maybe do something crazy like a an inter-VM messaging channel) would be vital to the adoption of Dart, IMO. That way, an organization (hypothetically speaking) can introduce Dart into

Well, it's interesting. My main concern with capturing the entire tab as image is that the site being captured maybe one of those infinitely scrollable pages (i.e. same as the history.html page) in which case, depending on implementati

I agree. I was planning on letting the user add a "Do Not Capture" list of URLs in the Options page, but didn't have time to do it on initial release. Sorry.

Interesting. Will experiment with it and will push changes if successful. I guess the API is relatively new (Chrome 34) and I hadn't come across it, till now. Thanks!
