    The HD Edition has a new AI[0] that's much stronger than the old one. It's built by Promiskuitiv and Archon, two well-known AI scripters in the Age of Empires scene :) [0]: http://…

    It was random. According to SteamDB[1] it was a caching issue that ended up sending random pages to the wrong people. Possible explanation from unknown source: https://www.reddit.c…

    I like this a lot. It's similar to the proposed function bind syntax[1], but a bit more friendly to not-`this`-related use: function bindMap(fn) { return this.map(fn) } [ 1, 2, 3 ]…

    querySelectorAll returns a NodeList instead of a real array, so you can't call things like `.forEach` on the result. `[].slice.call(x)` turns x into an array, so that becomes [].sl…

    Socket.IO also gives you things like cross-everything callbacks: // server io.emit('event', function (msg) { console.log('Client responded!', msg) }) // client io.on('event', funct…

    It's not about graphs, it's about the entire app. That includes lists and paragraphs of text.

    YT videos lag a lot when I stream them directly in VLC 2.2.0, (`vlc `) and some protected videos don't play at all, so I often use this: ytplay() { youtube-dl "$1" -o - | vlc - } A…
