Zoom has this option.

I think that was another incident from 2018? https://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/fort-lauderdale/f...

Pretty neat. Mirah is to Java as CoffeeScript is to JavaScript? Looks very similar to ActionScript 2, with shades of Scala. Really neat looking language. Anyone know where the `par…

Excited to see how this is integrated with Magpie

I think you approached this article with a different set of expectations than I had. It felt like a personal essay early on for me. I don't think it's meant to be an empirical dist…

I expect to burn some karma for this, but there's another extant pocket of optimization driven development: banner ads. If there is such a thing as a "good" banner ad, I'm referrin…

Is your only basis for feeling that people that like CoffeeScript don't "get" JavaScript the `class` syntax? If that's the case, it's a minor feature of CoffeeScript. I'd say the r…

I'm saying kind of the opposite -- JS/HTML/CSS and Flash are now more similar than they are different. It's not the platform that's the problem. It's what you can do with (and how …

> It doesn't but JavaScript and Skilled js devs can! You might be overestimating the differences between Flash and JS here -- especially when you add HTML5 into the mix. What's to …

In case anyone's scared away by the format, it's an accessible, three-page, quick read. And it's really interesting. The author's approach of blending language survey with language…

I'm curious as to why you don't see Anon's actions as mob justice? Or if you do, why that's okay?

I used to work for the internet arm of Condé in NYC in the mid aughts. The cafeteria was amazing; they'd have some big-deal chef in each week to work a lunch shift (though people w…

By... uhh... how many Experience Points?

Thank you -- it does. If it's not too much trouble, do you have any examples or anecdotes for when HTML made layout really easy, or scripting made layout really hard? In my experie…

Could you expand on why you feel like building a UI in JS is a regression? Is this a popular sentiment? I really prefer working on layouts without manipulating markup, so I'm curio…

It's really sad, but all I can think of is how it will be adorned with ads and become spamcontent. Hopefully it doesn't make 'BigResource' "even bigger."

`Bind` with named methods goes a long way to cleaning up nested callbacks. Here's a (quick+dirty; I know I'm missing some `do`'s in there) version of the same code in CoffeeScript:…

Let's elevate this conversation beyond the usual conventional wisdom and rhetoric: Flash is not "demonstrably, prima facie" closed. Really, `tptacek`, it takes almost no independen…

Any tools that work in the opposite direction? ( e.g., JS -> C )

I'm trying to parse all of this, but my understanding of Scala is shaky. Could anyone explain this statement -- I think it'd help a lot: sealed trait Option[+A] { def bind[B](f: A …

I'm a professional Flash dev, but I spend my after work time on CoffeeScript/JavaScript/HTML5/Node/MongoDB (♥ ECMAScript). There's definitely still a use-case for Flash. It's still…

It's really great to see the best Flash devs contributing back to JS/HTML5. This is a perfect application of using skills learned from Flash to make a really great lib.
