Question: I know that the `:visited` exploit is handled by the browsers so that you can't figure out by javascript what is going on... but what if you used just CSS to figure it out? For instance, what if you generated the CSS which h

When I was designing our office I had dreams of having giant wall-covering white boards everywhere. Of course, to save costs, we tried using the shower board material from Home Depot like this post is suggesting. The ghosting ends up being

I haven't had a chance to try purescript yet, but I have looked at it. Really though, I love JavaScript, and don't have much desire to use another language that that transpiles into it...

@platz, yes, this is correct. When currying and/or composing functions, it becomes more difficult to determine the input/output types of the function since the function signature won't be right there. I'm borrowing the

This is very interesting. I'm not so sure this wouldn't trip me up some times though. What if the first argument you are expecting, is supposed to be a function? I would think that would be a pretty common scenario... Unless I&

I was thinking about whipping together a perfJS for the curry function and putting it in the post but ended up not... I might make one and post it back here. --- UPDATE: I made this jsperf: http://jsperf.com/curry-function

I guess I didn't mean for it to be misleading, but I wrote the example like I did on purpose to show that in OCaml, the arguments are curried by default... that there is no need to have the `fun` keyword 3 times. The misleading part wa

Yeah, I think I sometimes weave back-and-forth. I try to avoid thinking about "micro-optimizations", but can't help myself. As I'm writing this series I'm compiling together a small and opinionated library that uses

Yes and no. Some of this is that JavaScript is just not very well equipped to do functional programming. For instance, the nesting of functions in JavaScript is not only verbose to write, it also introduces a lot of noise in the code. One p

That is great feedback. I am actually working on creating a "functional" version of the 2048 game, along with my own implementation of the AI solver, as part of this series. Kinda goofy, and maybe not a "real world" sit

Having read the book, I can definitely recommend it. Along with the book, Braithwaite created [allonge.es][1], a functional js library which follows much more closely how I would create a FP utility library in JS (versus, something like lo-

author of the article here: this is part 3 of what will likely be a 6+ part series... as a result, this post is still sort of "laying the foundation", before getting to some of the "fun stuff". In any event, would love

I remember being pitched this idea at START pitch day - I really think it is a great idea. I agree with the comments above: "OpenTable for camps" is a much better (or at least more recognizable) comparison than Expedia. Congratu
