I don't really get the impression that it has any impact in the contemporary art world, although I would love to be proven wrong. The closest thing I can think of was the recent Tumblr Art Symposium: http://hyperallergic.com/tumblrart/

I was interviewed for this article, it looks like my comments were used well and relatively in context. That being said I definitely don't fit into the tech + art audience that was being defined in this article. It seems to be implied that

That certainly could be a theoretical future for Asm.js! In my post I link to a pure-JavaScript port of SQLite that runs in Node.js (using Emscripten): https://github.com/kripken/sql.js Presumably either Node would have to switch to Mozil

Ah! In that case I'm not sure - but according to mraleph's comment above it looks like there might be some issues in V8 for some of the benchmarks: https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2223

If others have not read the parent's blog post on Asm.js, I highly recommend it: http://mrale.ph/blog/2013/03/28/why-asmjs-bothers-me.html I also largely agree with Jason's comment on that post: http://mrale.ph/blog/2013/03/28/why-asmjs-

Ok, I'll bite. - I did not run performance benchmarks on my system because Asm.js does not yet support OS X (which is my primary OS). I fully intend to run some tests, and hopefully make some of my own, when that time comes. In the meantime

I believe one has already been ported using Emscripten - but this was a while ago, I'd be curious to see how fast it runs now with Asm.js: https://github.com/mbebenita/Broadway

Forking WebKit is effectively the same as writing your own browser, with regards to standardization. At the end of the day you want to get everyone to agree on the standard -- having an implementation that everyone can use only helps to swe

I'm not sure Zepto could be defined as "better" considering that it only implements a small subset of the jQuery API. In the browser world you can't get away with implementing a small subset of a specification, it'll be consider broken and

That's an interesting assumption to make: Just because Safari or Chrome hypothetically used Gecko doesn't mean that competition would've halted. Why couldn't it have been any different from when Chrome used WebKit as its basis and absolutel

Are there better JavaScript libraries than jQuery at certain things? Absolutely -- look to Backbone, Angular, Meteor, etc. etc. Are they better than jQuery at doing DOM manipulation? I think that's an easy argument simply by looking at the

Pretty much! People worry that the transition to a WebKit monoculture would result in some terrible things. On the contrary Chrome has shown that a shared rendering engine does not result in stagnation. Stagnation is a separate concern from

The issue you outline is tangential (but still important). The issues I'm seeing are actual exceptions occurring where sites are missing the reference to the GA object, not issues with _link tracking and redirects.

If that's the case then there are a lot of sites that are willfully ignoring the correct snippet. Perhaps this was something new that they added recently - or perhaps there's a frequently-incorrect snippet that's copied?

git-crypt is incredibly cool - great work!

Great tip. This is what I've used in a number of organizations now, including a version of this at Khan Academy. I've amended the blog post to mention this.

I had a similar issue so I posted a question in the #jquery-content IRC channel. They're looking in to it and recommended that I press the "Test Hook" button from the Webhook panel to get it to go through - and that worked. It sounds like t

I don't envy having to work on something of that scale! At least for my particular case, the only item in that list I needed to worry about was plurals (which I have with the __n method). (And thankfully there are other good JS libraries fo

And this is the reason why I don't force anyone into viewing a particular version of the site -- I only use it for displaying an opt-out notice guiding them to the version that I think they may prefer.

A couple quick points: 1) If anyone ever comes up with a location-agnostic language icon for English, I'll implement it in a heartbeat. Using the Japanese flag for Japanese seems very safe. 2) Based upon the traffic to my site so far, all o

I think it's an issue of there being a bell curve on all the JavaScript users. If we assume that 80% of JS users are in the "use a library and know very little of the language" category and the top 10% is "publishes libraries/tools" and the

SIGH. I've tried really hard to get this changed. Outside of my control, unfortunately.
