There is nothing more reliable than solar. And do you really feel rich after taking money from your children?

by noiv 11y ago
I'm not anti-capitalism. I just say we've it thrown it at the wrong energy source and went us into dark ages. Just imagine for a second all that money, labor and ingenuity had been used to develop solar. Or the other way round, wh

Well yes, just not an App Engine SDK :(

So, no SDK for node.js?

I like the idea of sleep as a consequence of information processing. At some point an organism needs to get rid of useless information acquired by its sensors previously. That's also why Maxwell's demon can't brake the second

Well, it runs on a virtual machine, not that much different. And the design doc states "writing by hand", but the s-expressions look interesting. Finally Lisp for browsers :)

That three major browser teams implement and publish a new standard/technology at the same time is exciting. OTOH I can't believe we start over again with Assembler (a machine language).

That's just a modern form of the earth is the center of the universe syndrome: Everything not human can't be intelligent.

Should mention the for-of loop uses the iterator protocol and JITs produce far more code compared to a simple for () {}.

Math tells me there is an infinite number of floats between 0 and 1. 64 bits are really not enough to address that numberspace...

Interesting. I believe the better question is: How to manage context? In a hierarchy or flat or ...? Natural languages have the same problem and a plethora of solutions mostly based on conventions or rules. You make even break them to end u

There seems to be a whole lot of other countries disagreeing with JC[1]. May be they realised doing nothing is not an option. Personally I disagree, because excluding economic net effects borders ignorance. The US are neither an isolated ac

I tend to think dolphins communicating might have a huge technical advantage: Water transports waves way more exact and farer. Also the ability of echolocation points to a far better usable bandwidth. Humans read, speak and listen at a few

I remember reading this the first time as a JS rookie. Every time the author mentions "this is same in JS" a light went on in my head and all the JS quirks found earlier became just natural. It still deserves its place in the Chri

I don't get this approach, it's backwards. Why can't the JIT assume everything is perfect and spit out information like: Warning: Can't optimize function foo in bar.js because of foobar? Instead devs have to tell the JIT

I like the idea, that JS developer who keep their types straight are rewarded with performance, without introducing "compiler flags".

Try this: Surviving in an environment requires intelligence. ... or propose another. I tend to avoid all social, psychological definitions to end up with something measurable along the lines of Schrödinger's "What is Life?".
