    Now, maybe I'm to blame here, using the nightly build of chromium, but webkit is a walking memory leak. Just for a comparison, I have the same amount of tabs on firefox and chromiu…

    Awww, I had the same idea last year, while taking the daily train, but I never really believed in it. Actually I was also hoping to have iphones regularly advertise the owner's pag…

    It looks like you forgot to call the function in 'simple_catch'. Interestingly, if you do, manual_with_catch will actually be faster in the failing case. (A try:fn() finally: retur…
