agreed. i think the economics of ramen make less sense outside of japan, where it’s more expensive and turnaround is slower because folks linger longer (often to amortize the cost …

this reminds me of a naive and happier time in tech, when i built a game called ramendan with twitter’s open API. you had to eat ramen every day for dinner, and tweet proof with th…

i went super deep on 140-byte code golfing[1] back when twitter was taking off, and it changed the way i think about code. for a brief while we had a small community collaborating …

In my experience, as long as a controlled window is communicating with the SW, the connection will remain alive.

A service worker would work fine; the connection would be instantiated from the SW and each window/worker could communicate with it via navigator.serviceWorker.

I really like the idea of using Google Spreadsheets as a quick and familiar GUI for entry or querying on data sets, as long as you understand the tradeoffs (write latency isn't gre…

I wish `void` would get more love for IIFEs instead of just sitting there in a dark corner of JS, unloved. var foo = 'bar' var baz = 'bletch' void function (global) { //module patt…

Having gotten more accustomed to the VM approach over the past year since I wrote this post, I agree.

Are you sure he was saying "ore"? Given the fact that his grammar is otherwise pretty tight, I wouldn't be surprised if he were instead using "ware".
