You can achieve no delay without using a zero delay. Graphic Control Extension blocks may be omitted between images and so multiple images can come in a row without anything defining a delay between them. See the last instance of the phras

The collision risk will depend very much on the altitude at which they are placed... this is also a big determiner of design life (N years before the orbit decays and they come back into the atmosphere) and might also have some effect on si

Reminds me of 'What Intelligence Tests Miss: The Psychology of Rational Thought,' the most interesting cognitive science book I've read. http://www.amazon.com/What-Intelligence-Tests-Miss-Psycholog... In shor

Seems double-silly. First there's the whole "smaller is better... I mean, whoops!"-ness of the blogpost. Second is the general choice of benchmark: JXcore is supposed to be a multithreaded JS engine, so it seems like you&#x

Looks like http://nubisa.com/ is interested in native (read: mobile, desktop) app development in JS.

Looking at the linked benchmark file appears to bear out this claim: https://github.com/Nubisa/jxdocs/blob/master/benchmarks/core... It appears that the reported numbers for benchmark X are _the # o

I find one of your premises very thin: browser implementors are implementing DOM promises, so promises were clearly not invented solely to make up for the difficulties of Node.

Sorry, this relates to the posted link how?

This one is so much smaller it takes a lot more effort to make it seem threatening.

Could a lawyer (preferably from NC) chime in about real estate law and if there's something like a "statute of limitations"? Would adverse possession (or something like it) in effect wipe away any crime committed in coming t

The article focuses on the potential harm to one or more prominent families' reputations; as you deduce, this kind of evidence would not only harm reputations but may also complicate land ownership.

A dead commenter said, "Any startup ideas on cleaning the Ocean? I guess no country wants to pay for this yet?" and I had two thoughts in response: There's a reason for the word "tragedy" in the phrase, "the tr

Yeah, hard bounce off the atmosphere trades angular momentum for radial velocity and increases eccentricity, meaning next time you hit the atmosphere is gonna be even worse.

Yes, it is "just" lots of math-- IF you know what the atmospheric conditions will be like. Having worked with a few atmospheric density models, I have the distinct impression that they are meant to give a mean density estimate bu

I think the parent of your comment meant: "the speed optimization is important if we want to have UIs as complex as an IDE _built with these new APIs_" --because polyfills do lots of work to emulate browser features.

Yes, you are missing something. :) This is trying to provide polyfills for and build on top of Shadow DOM and Custom Elements. While some of the features in them could be provided just by templating stuff (though it would be mildly to very
