I've never seen such hype. Does anyone actually think "the possibilities are endless," that this device "is a prankster's dream" and "could destroy photography"? I am skeptical of the physics described but since I'm not a digicam expert I w

On a mobile unit, sure. But JavaScript powers keyboard shortcuts, my favorite Gmail feature. If that costs me CPU cycles or bandwidth latency, I don't notice it. I appreciate simplicity but on a modern computer/browser, efficiency and featu

Ray Kurzweil has said he assigns himself a problem before bedtime, triggering his subconscious mind to consider creative solutions during sleep, the list of which he reviews upon waking into a state of lucid dreaming. Kurzweil: ...When I go

I'm inclined to agree with you. It also occurred to me that the quinine could be disrupting fly DNA. I don't expect the journalist to detail all the researchers' lab controls but it certainly appears these biologists negligently compared mu

I skimmed it too and think PAWS is a tight dev guide for what author Murty calls AWS' "infrastructure services" (read: no Mturk, DevPay, Fulfillment, Associates or Alexa). The 600 pg book celebrates Ruby and the free download is particularl

Good luck, but if PG&E et. al ever get caught paying to unransom published comments they'll face a worse PR nightmare than mere reports of bad javascript.

I wonder if there may be a way to build the wall you describe in the general-public site. Pretend you could rate commenters, not publicly but privately--for your own private use. If you spot a particularly dumb comment on reddit, you could
