Pretty neat. Mirah is to Java as CoffeeScript is to JavaScript? Looks very similar to ActionScript 2, with shades of Scala. Really neat looking language. Anyone know where the `param: Type` (i.e., parameter name colon type) convention came

I think you approached this article with a different set of expectations than I had. It felt like a personal essay early on for me. I don't think it's meant to be an empirical distillation of the ways in which a few cultures are different f

I expect to burn some karma for this, but there's another extant pocket of optimization driven development: banner ads. If there is such a thing as a "good" banner ad, I'm referring to those (unobtrusive, non-autoexpanding, subtle animation

Is your only basis for feeling that people that like CoffeeScript don't "get" JavaScript the `class` syntax? If that's the case, it's a minor feature of CoffeeScript. I'd say the rest of the features it offers fall on the dynamic/functiona

I'm saying kind of the opposite -- JS/HTML/CSS and Flash are now more similar than they are different. It's not the platform that's the problem. It's what you can do with (and how you can abuse) the platform.

In case anyone's scared away by the format, it's an accessible, three-page, quick read. And it's really interesting. The author's approach of blending language survey with language construction is a strategy I've recently employed, and I've

I'm curious as to why you don't see Anon's actions as mob justice? Or if you do, why that's okay?

I used to work for the internet arm of Condé in NYC in the mid aughts. The cafeteria was amazing; they'd have some big-deal chef in each week to work a lunch shift (though people would usually smoke instead of eating). The women there were

Thank you -- it does. If it's not too much trouble, do you have any examples or anecdotes for when HTML made layout really easy, or scripting made layout really hard? In my experience, there's a sweet spot for HTML/CSS. If I keep things re

Could you expand on why you feel like building a UI in JS is a regression? Is this a popular sentiment? I really prefer working on layouts without manipulating markup, so I'm curious to why others feel different. Thanks!

It's really sad, but all I can think of is how it will be adorned with ads and become spamcontent. Hopefully it doesn't make 'BigResource' "even bigger."

`Bind` with named methods goes a long way to cleaning up nested callbacks. Here's a (quick+dirty; I know I'm missing some `do`'s in there) version of the same code in CoffeeScript: _ = fileMenu: -> mainWindow.menu "File",

Let's elevate this conversation beyond the usual conventional wisdom and rhetoric: Flash is not "demonstrably, prima facie" closed. Really, `tptacek`, it takes almost no independent search to come to a murkier conclusion. Interestingly, w

I'm trying to parse all of this, but my understanding of Scala is shaky. Could anyone explain this statement -- I think it'd help a lot: sealed trait Option[+A] { def bind[B](f: A => Option[B]): Option[B] (My best guess: def

I'm a professional Flash dev, but I spend my after work time on CoffeeScript/JavaScript/HTML5/Node/MongoDB (♥ ECMAScript). There's definitely still a use-case for Flash. It's still faster for some stuff I do (in Webkit{Safari,Chrome}). Act

It's really great to see the best Flash devs contributing back to JS/HTML5. This is a perfect application of using skills learned from Flash to make a really great lib.

While no one ever claimed it, tptacek was correct in assuming people were thinking it. Or, at least, a person was thinking it. I'm really glad to see a possible explanation for why Homeland Security would be cracking down on music blogs. W

Python taught me about list comprehensions and bound methods. I've never played with Python before, and I'm trying and failing to understand what bound methods are. Could anyone explain them?

The common use of "nonplussed" means exactly the opposite of the intended meaning. It may be wrong, but it's generally understandable in context. I'd argue "could care less" works the same way.

It's great to have a concise, consolidated guide on delivering email; it always seemed like magic to me.
