In your example, X is still in scope when f('x') is called. It doesn't require closure to work.

Write it in C then compile it to JS with emscripten

Well $8 for a chip is extremely expensive. I bet a vast majority of keyboards on the market sell in bulk for less than $8.

> even though no useful economic activity is taking place Saving is a useful economic activity. Why should I let some filthy money lender touch my money? It's my money!

Living paycheck to paycheck is not the converse of saving. When I save money, I invest it in productive enterprise. Thus, I have less in my checking account. You could even conside…

I can't hear you over the sound of your filthy and oppressive fiat currency rattling in your pockets.

What a circle jerk.

All those features are hogshit, completely irrelevant, and extremely complicated and difficult to achieve. I have never once watched a movie and said "I didn't like that movie. Let…

Software freedom is the ability to do whatever you want with the code, for example, compiling it. I'm not saying there's any sort of license violation here, but it's not in the spi…

To the mooooooon!

You're right, all solid savings plans must fit comfortably beneath a mattress. Reminds me of the old saying "If I can't lie down and sleep on top of it comfortably, it's not an inv…

Hang on I almost read that as meaning bitcoin has less financial capability as fiat currency, which we all know is patently false because the premise of bitcoin is centered around …

If you can completely obliterate your margin like that just to make a single sale, I suspect prices are too high and you'd end up doing better by just offering the product at $400.…

I sincerely hope names like this become widespread if they accurately describe the job. Very helpful to have a bright red "KEEP OUT" sign.

I've always been told by labview advocates that "you can of course pull up a text editor and write code." The language and API is certainly a different matter, being a second class…

Repost, don't know the original author: I agree, I can't keep up, I just finished learning backbone.js and now I've found out on HN that it's old news, and I should use ember.js, c…

Include elevation! How fun would that be :) http://www.oocities.org/ds_map/map_data/myogi.gif

Never ran into any problems with vanilla zsh on Arch, Debian, or OSX -- just pacman -Ss zsh || apt-get install zsh || brew install zsh. What kind of problems did you run into?

Not sure I understand the semantics. I'm passed what looks like a continuation, but instead of calling it, I yield it? What other values can I yield, and why would I want to? Alter…

Couldn't agree more. I've seen a few "job applications" that are more like marriage proposals, and its sickening. Hey actually that gives me a great idea: maybe I should spend 100 …

Here's how that would look in the instruction set we use here ($100M commercial product) ; ARM spells it ADD R0, R1, R2, LSL #8 ; We spell it CLX R0 ; 1 cycles ADX R1 ; 1 ADX R2 ; …

Anecdotally, I bought Dark Souls not knowing it required a Microsoft game profile to save your game at all -- no local saves whatever. I wrote a (really bitchy) email to Steam and …

Not the same at all! We're talking about Notch's process. I don't think there's any disagreement about his product being top notch (sorry). The product of BS is well, BS, and her p…

Look I know that much of HN has a libertarian and pro-corporation bias. But, I think the article is pretty specific about the profit motive being cause for concern. The California …
