I don't want to act flamey here, but you should read [The Blind Watchmaker][1], R. Dawkins. The whole book is pretty interesting and analyzes exactly that complexity from an evolutionary perspective. There's also a chapter in which he descr

That's exactly the whole point of Operational Transformation. It's the "algorithm" that powers Google Docs, and stores data as a sequence of transformations that can be applied ("can operate") on a previous document state to build a new one

Sorry, just used to find md pretty everywhere to the point I forget HN does not support it! Well, then, _pardon my markdown_ :)

I'm interested too. Is the browser environment which bugs you or the web "platform"? (you know, HTML and brothers)

No it's based on [Substance]( http://substance.io ) OT library, but uses CodeMirror instead of the [Surface]( http://interior.substance.io/modules/surface.html ) (Substance Team member here)

I'm happy to see [Substance]( http://substance.io ) work (Tim's OT) to spread to other related project!

I had that same idea more than once, to propose a local per-element media query. In fact the concept itself of querying the whole window to understand the dimension a portion of it will occupy... well it's strange. At the same time, have yo

Are we really comparing Python to JavaScript "as they are"? What make you choose a language instead of another one is the environment. Would you use a library-less python? Is Node.js cool because it's JavaScript, or it's cool for the miriad

And when I'll see a Python code running on my browser rendering on a Canvas as the Emscriten QT port does... I'll make myself blind with a fork in front of the developer of such a beast, yelling: "How the f--- am I supposed to use this now?

The logo it's an animated gif. That's awesome. The only animated gif I ever seen on a web site that actually is stylish.

I still don't get why we're using the API version in the url . We should use the specialized content-type instead!

I'm not talking about single occurence of the "bad" pattern. If you multiple it to the occurence in a whole code base... well you get the point. That's why underscore and coffee-script treat default assignement that way.

If you don't mind, I need to correct the form a little. If this becomes a pattern in a big application you are losing performance for nothing. In fact you're just compacting an if: if (arg1 == null) { // check for both `undefined` and

Probably a terrible mistake from the developer, not the minifier. fireToken: f.tradeTokens.data.fireToken === 1 ? true : false In my company I see JS code like the following: if (!!someFlag) { /* ... */ }

Don't want to look mean, but the new layout its "cheaper" than the previous one. Probably I'm just to the old one. _A parte_: could you please make the links stand out more?

Oh gosh. I just understood the problem. It's simply the fact that it runs the code. I thought it was somehow a problem of the editor. Shame on me.

That's very interesting. Could you point me to some article explaining the reasons behind it?

This does not mean that the funding has closed. There are a lot of stretched goals that should be reached. But at least the project will be open, and that's fantastic.

That's a work of [philological][1] investigation, and I'd like to see something like that too. Could it be good project? [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philology

do you have any economic reasons to keep it closed? If the answer is no, then push it open source. Full stop. It's a gain for everyone.

I'm sorry for my personal stakes at you. And honestly I have to say I'm biased against javascript articles, because I'm so used to find a strong lack of experience and knowledge in them. I appreciate your answer, and please pardon my rudene

Yes, not for the syntax itself, but for a mere "smell" of code quality. The use of "new Object" is found only in two kind of JS code incredibly old or incredibly badly written.

Addendum. Oh gosh: var someObject = new Object(); Is that real?

I'm ashamed that a lot of rants about languages get so many points here on HN. This article, in particular, is written by a JavaScript ignorant, which for the first time approaches the language. Even worse, "JavaScript the good parts" is a

That's simply because the developer included the sharp symbol in the hash :)

You could also fix the top corners, if watch closer the pieces overflow the radius ;)

I love the application. The thing I love most is your "license". I thought to distribute some app in the same way too: "can you build it? It's free if you don't want to pay for it."
