   Interesting. What about more complex units, e.g. acceleration - m/s^2?

   “When you get the package every morning, it puts steel in your spine,” said David Plouffe, the president’s longtime adviser. This strikes me as backwards. Seems that a president with a steely spine would be strong enough to maintain the r

   Cool project. How does it accomplish the realtime GC max pauses of 1-2 ms after compiling to javascript? Wouldn't the js implementation's GC have the final say on GC pauses? Thanks.

   I don't think it's fair to say that it's entirely arbitrary. The 1000$ mark holds significant psychological impact. When the price rises, it's going to be reported on, and it makes sense for it to be reported on when it

   Can you give a little more explanation for that claim? It sounds like you're saying the US will blow cities up if people stop accepting the dollar.

    Simplistic, or honest? And do you mean "explained", or "rationalized"?

    This Q/A from the asm.js FAQ appears to disagree with you: Q. Is asm.js a new language? A. No, it's just (a subset of) JavaScript. An asm.js program will behave identically whether it is run in an existing JavaScript engine or an ahead-of-t

    I'm not following you. Are you referring to the minimized code that has been beautified? Of course it is not going to be particularly legible. Same for any minified code, asm.js or not. From the link you gave, the DiagModule function is asm

    Thanks! If you maximize the resolution and particle opacity parameters while minimizing the particle size, it's much more discreet.

    I like this model far more than the one that depends on declaring information to be property. In fact, I hope (and largely expect) it will become the predominant means of getting developers paid.
