Agreed - I'd definitely like to see something like JSFiddle for PhoneGap. We're working on weinre right now - http://phonegap.github.com/weinre/ - and also recommend Aardowlf - htt…

re only affecting emulators: see @pmuellr's reply below - the bug in question affects 2.2 devices also. Since we're a community-driven open source project, you can see the discussi…

(disclaimer: I work for Adobe on a competing service (PhoneGap Build) and have worked with PhoneGap for years) This is a silly benchmark - there is absolutely no reason you would p…

Node itself (the core js library) isn't strict mode compliant: it uses octal literals for filesystem interactions.

As I understand it, the main objection to `__proto__` is that it's writable, and thus not atomic with object creation. This creates a bunch of headaches for implementors for perfor…

For very short, "oh there's a syntax error I missed" commits, "commit --amend" is very useful, and quicker than "rebase -i".

Interesting - looks like chart.googleapis.com works over HTTPS: https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&#3... but chart.apis.google.com (which Google formerly used) d…

The Google charts API doesn't provide an SSL interface - if you use it on a page served over https, you'll get a mixed content warning. [EDIT] I was mistaken, see andrewjshults's r…

The Underscore functions do exactly the same as Resig's in the simple case (when passed just an array of numbers). They're longer because they accept custom iterators for non-numer…

Well yes, but if you have 20+ tabs open in a couple of windows, it's disruptive and time consuming to close and reopen all of them.

releasing the source != pushing out over the air OS updates

It's a sixty line JS file that's been online for less than a day. I don't think API stability is a major concern at this point.

camelCase is the de facto standard for JavaScript - all of the DOM APIs and major libraries use it. edit: oh, you probably mean the language name. Again, JavaScript is the correct …

There are also Fab.js http://github.com/jed/fab (which hasn't seen any updates in a while, but I'm sure it's still being worked on), Pintura http://github.com/kriszyp/pintura and P…

The core of Node has very few functions that perform I/O, but there's no reason you can't use I/O in your own programs (in the original link, the network stream is read and written…

I've believe it's because SVG support is still listed as experimental in WebKit; there are 258 SVG bugs listed on WebKit's Bugzilla: https://bugs.webkit.org/buglist.cgi?product=Web…

No it's not - unlike iPhone, Android WebKit does not have SVG support.

> "Are you that great?". No, apparently he's not. That's not really fair - there are plenty of very good motivations for writing (and reading) fiction other than immersion in a sus…

it's because of type conversion - null has the same value as 0 (as in `(+ null)`), so it is a number

Regarding PhoneGap specifically, which the book seems geared toward, for a short period of time Apple believed, erroneously, that the iPhone PhoneGap code was exposing unapproved A…
