Because of prototypical inheritance. If the object's prototype has properties, you may not want iterate those. Where as `key in map` will and `hasOwnProperty()` will only return true on those properties on the object.

True. But anyone supporting IE < 9 I'd think would be using ES5 shim: https://github.com/es-shims/es5-shim But maybe not?

You never had to use `hasOwnProperty()` to iterate a map. `Object.keys()` in conjunction with `Array.prototype.forEach()` works well for this. Example: var map = {a: '1', b: '2'} Object.keys(map).forEach(function(k) {

Yup. I would have never thought about using Google drive to share PDF publicly. Now that I know, still not sure I would. You're damn right, interface does matter.

This is awesome! But I can't see it surviving on donations. Commercialize it please so that it survives. Tasteful ads aren't so bad like what Reddit does or Carbon[something]... I'm just concerned you won't survive on do

Seems like a good opportunity to use [Gitlab]( https://about.gitlab.com/ ) and a perhaps even a hosted Gitlab install? I know there are commercial hosted Gitlab providers, I can't seem to recall any though - a cursory Go

Wow. Did you make this? Put some contact info on your page if so! Implement history and labels and you have me as paying customer. No joke.

Browserify is great for npm/CommonJS modules on the browser side. Also, you can just check if `process.browser` is defined. =)

The problem with introducing new keywords and doing this in a backwards incompatible way, is that we'll be running with three module systems for years: CommonJS, AMD, and ES6. As far as I can tell, and please correct me if I'm wro

Have you considered using node-webkit, AngularJs, and Bootstrap for your cross platform GUI needs?

As a consumer of the API, I can attest that the developers of HelloBlock have a put a lot of thought into the API. Developers of Bitcoin apps might find the Testnet faucet particularly useful: https://helloblock.io/docs&#x2F

Shameless plug: https://github.com/cryptocoinjs (Bitcoin JavaScript fork of the original BitcoinJS) Right now, we're focused on Bitcoin, but we're moving fast and will be expanding support for altcoins. Also, if y

Looks cool! How are you actually embedding messages into the blockchain?

Shameless plug, but I also have a Go module named Goatee. However, it's a testing package: https://github.com/jprichardson/goatee-go It's too bad that discoverability of modules in Go sucks.

There is no project... just experimentation with LevelDB. All of those solutions that you provided require an installation of CouchDB on the server side. Therefore, a bit out of scope of building a quick hacky Firebase clone using LevelDB m

Tell me how regulation stopped Enron. Tell me how regulation stopped the 2008 financial crisis with the housing bubble. These all happened in traditional markets. You're right that some Bitcoin companies have screwed their users. Consu

No way. Regulation won't solve these sort of things. It will just make the barrier to entry that much higher. Now people have a voice more so than ever before. If companies don't act appropriately, people can post stories and comp

You're forgetting two key points: 1) Ben is not a native English speaker, so as stated by Ben, he didn't realize it was a big deal. 2) The committer didn't sign a CLA yet.

Yep. Along with `== null`. I also only use "==" with `typeof` since `typeof` always returns a string.

Yea, or you could use "===".

I've been experimenting a bit with RethinkDB within the last few days. Its stability is definitely not there (too be fair, they've made this clear), so it's crashed when I needed it most. But here are the finer points: 1) The
