The incomplete items that this update is about are an extra set of keycaps that I honestly can't even find where on the Kickstarter we were promised them. The main product successf…

And they all are speaking at the GraphQL Summit today and tomorrow in SF!

Darcs was easy to use? Are you referring to the same darcs whose manual tried to explain concepts by making analogies to the simpler and better-understood theory of quantum mechani…

Is the "import compatibility rule" (ie, `/v2` suffixes in package paths) implemented in vgo today?

Yup: https://guide.meteor.com/security.html#allow-deny I just submitted a PR to the main Meteor docs pointing there: https://github.com/meteor/docs/pull/164

Don't worry — you can find that code at https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11

My goal in writing this post was not to convince people to use or not use MongoDB, but to document an edge case that may affect people who happen to use it for whatever reason, whi…

If I understand correctly, this method says "only scan the built in _id index, not any other index". Which means that you will not hit this index-specific bad behavior, but also th…

This is not related to reading from secondaries. This issue can occur in single node systems.

Oh, wow. This looks like a really easy way to get a "turn on lights slow then play music" alarm... and some dance party blinky lights... and whatever else I bother to program!

Threadable is like Google Groups, except that whether or not the default reply-to is "all" is a user preference rather than a group preference, which made me so happy. (There are o…

Exactly. Doing that by mistake (and then being taught to set `push.default` to upstream or simple) has been a rite of passage for engineers at my company.

Yep, as Arunoda says I'm actively working on it right now, currently hoping for an initial release this month. I really appreciate the work Arunoda has done on smart collections; m…

I'm not sure what your problem with contributor agreements are; basically every sizable open source project has one. You know, like... Node: http://nodejs.org/cla.html

Our understanding of the current level of browser support is actually in a big comment at the beginning of every file aimed at the browser we generate that has a source map :) If y…

That post predates `npm shrinkwrap`.

Cool! A major reason I made this post was because I assumed that this must be something people had seen before, but I had trouble finding any references to it in the JavaScript con…

Yes, but you can statically determine whether or not eval is called. A world-class JavaScript environment like V8 is far past "the simplest thing that is correct according to the s…

Looks like Go optimizes this fully, as pointed out by https://twitter.com/nynexrepublic/status/350717895971586049 If you run these on your own machine and peek at the RSIZE, it sta…

OP here. Several people have pointed out that of course I should expect a leak, since each `logIt` object is leaked. That's absolutely true; my point was just that we don't want `s…

No, actually, you literally have to call eval as a function called eval if you want to get the local lexicals. See sections 10.4.2 and 15.1.2.1.1 of the ECMAScript standard, or try…

Right, but according to sections 10.4.2 and 15.1.2.1.1 of the ECMAScript standard, you only get lexical bindings inside your `eval` if it's literally a call to a thing called `eval…

I don't know how to look at memory usage in other modern JS interpreters like those used in FireFox and Safari. Anyone able to check to see if they have this problem? (And if they …
