    Trying to pick between omgrofl and lolcode with one life left can be likened to deciding which color wire to snip.

    BBC's Tiger Island: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHOxXOeCI0Y I found a lot of this film incredibly interesting. But just seeing the behavior of wild tigers in the presence of hum…

    Yeah, it really gets interesting if you compare his recent press conferences on the matter against what his speeches sounded like in 2007; here's an example: http://www.youtube.com…

    Which is not the same thing as node's modules. There's nothing stopping me from making global variables within a module "pattern". Contrast that with a node.js module where even if…

    Not sure if this is relevant these days, but the Emscripten FAQ mentions the need to use "-s ASM_JS=1" as an argument to emcc in order for it to actually output asm.js style code. …

    If I was in charge of Toptal's marketing department I would have responded with a new set of ads featuring shirtless Fabio lookalikes.

    It's the same figure which was in the leaked documents from 2008 that points to some NSA/CSSM 1-52 document from 2007 as a basis. Perhaps they feel that this is the only justifiabl…

    What do you mean by query? Are talking about using the 'keys' command to figure out what data you need? Because that's completely discouraged for everything except maintenance task…

    I must say, I quite enjoy how so many countries are eagerly playing a game of "pass the Snowden" by throwing him over U.S. reach. It just goes to show that the behavior of the U.S.…

    Depends on the type of game, the field is very broad. For example, if I had the intention of creating an online card game, I think SVG via d3.js would actually be my very first cho…
