The difference being, you can't avoid javascript (if you want to target the browser); you can either write it directly, or use it as a compile target. Each has it's strengths and drawbacks.

I don't think the gist is that there aren't problems with these languages, but that with a little carefully placed construction tape, you can avoid falling into the large holes.

The biggest problems I find with bad coffeescript that I don't generally find in bad javascript are extensive inheritance hierarchies, overbroad class design, and explicit dependencies. Generally the same kinds of problems I find with

I've used coffeescript extensively for years, and I have never had that be an issue. Not sure if it's because I rarely write a file longer than ~200 lines, or I'm careful about variable names and global scope. More generally

Hyperinflation is a symptom of a collapse in output. Taxes bind the value of the currency to that output. If the output goes, also goes the value of the currency; we are in agreement.

Well, usually with state currencies, their worth is directly tied to the states ability to levy taxes (which is often very real). With independent currencies, no such obligation exists.

I'm recent to the party. I've discovered magit-blame-mode; any other goodies I might be missing out on?

On a lot of La-Z-Boy chairs, there are two wingnuts that can adjust the back tension; I would think tightening those down would make operating the chair more stable while wheels were engaged.

Why on Earth would we want to do a foolish thing like confiscating all outstanding bonds (which you euphemize as paying down the debt)? Medicare and Social Security cannot "go bankrupt".

After you've thinned down and chipped away as much as you can from any laptop design, that's pretty much what you get.

It's designed to make watching movies easy, as the current solutions are all subpar. But piracy isn't the goal, it's just the only existing method to make the functionality work.

What hurts the most? I would think the imperative drawing stuff would be missed least.

Well, the Republicans did their homework: railing against spending in the abstract is very popular, railing against specific sending is not. So they do as much as they can of the former, none of the latter. That the people who listen to th

Why do you think their economy has been depressed for over a decade? Every time they show a glimmer of growth, they yank out the rug from underneath by raising taxes.

Except it doesn't do anything to change net incomes, only composition of financial assets/cash (which are very similar to begin with).

Pretty much everything here is wrong. The Fed is every bit a government agency as NASA.

My thinking on this issue continues to evolve, but roughly: The number of Bitcoins is capped. For it to have any semblance of price stability, the amount of users would be roughly fixed. Without price stability, the number of users would
