What next? Crosswords in the paper?

I don't understand why designers refuse to pay attention to typographic guidelines. 95 characters per line is not very readable. To be fair, Wikipedia already suffers from this pro…

Well, if you ever wanna chat about core.async or PourOver or jobs or life, I'm more than happy to do so: erik.hinton@nytimes.com Nolen's also a great guy and really serious about h…

Alright, this is a great point. It would be trivial for me to add addPossibilities. I think I'll do that! Thanks. This will really help for using PourOver to power tagging selectio…

I totally wouldn't be intimidated. We all just love what we do. The best way to get a job is often to get to know the folks on the team, hack with them on projects. I'd really hate…

I think I'm a little confused. Why wouldn't you have just added the "roman" possibility from the get go? Could you provide an example of a situation when you don't know the univers…

I would absolutely like to add a Crossfilter Filter type. I'd even accept a pull request ... ;)

This looks really cool. I wouldn't say PourOver is focuses on speed as much as focused on being fast enough to get 60fps for 100k items. Cheers!

There are some benchmarks against the base underscore filter methods in the tests. These are what Backbone uses by default. However, the real utility of PourOver is less in its raw…

Hi, all. A lot of folks are asking for a demo and, you're right. I should have included one. My apologies. I'll get to working on one as soon as I can. In the meantime, I encourage…

Crossfilter was absolutely the inspiration. I just wanted to make a Crossfilter that worked with the arbitrary boolean composition, could be dynamically added to and updated, and s…

Oh this is great! I really should port something like this to the docs.

This is exactly what PourOver offers. You can chain filter results to any boolean complexity, as well extend the default filter types to optimize indexing and caching. Indeed, Pour…

"If you are not paying, then you are the product" is not logically equivalent to "if you are paying, then you are not the product". !A -> B != A -> !B Denying the antecedent.

Just want to point out that you could implement similar behavior in Haskell: {-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses #-} {-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances #-} class Concatable a b where co…

That's really excellent. It's funny, although not entirely surprising, but we have also been using parts of Khan and Bret Victor. The students seemed to really enjoy the sandbox of…

Haha. I'm happy someone saw that. I wish I could say that it had something to do with my theory of Social Catamorphism, folding our disparate talents into a better future, or somet…

Ah, yes. You are absolutely right that I pooched the Android memory example. Laymen might not care and it might not help them. I think a better example might be someone copying inf…

Right, and this is a barrier to learning digital domains. There is no physicalization of many digital ideas but, precisely by being digital, they do not map onto physical things. I…

I like this point. It is an important distinction and a good comparison to a related area, physics. Two thoughts, though, that I'd like to hear your thoughts on: 1. Don't we all le…

Haha, that's awesome.
