Did you mean native Americans? I've never heard "Creepingbear" as an Australian name.

It seems that would be confusing (at best) for your contacts that remain on Facebook.

Interesting. Assigning a bounty to difficult bugs might mitigate that effect (as mentioned elsewhere).

Wow, very similar style. I don't think we were aware of those!

On the other hand, it's an incentive for devs to log and fix minor issues they might've otherwise ignored.

Good question! We currently track that externally. E.g. in the issue description we might say "This is worth 100 whisky-points". It would be cool to build in a notion of value.

Lots of people would be upset if you took their photograph without asking. It's a bit discourteous.

Agreed. I recall a useful rule-of-thumb that states you should wait until the third time you need a bit of code before packaging it into something reusable. Otherwise, you might be wasting your time.

I never got around to upgrading from 10.5 - does anyone know if there's a way to upgrade straight to this new release? (Guessing probably not.)

Out of interest, why 48 specifically?

Revealing the flood image from left to right probably would've worked better, too.

> have a similar name to someone who's committed a felony Really? How is that justified?

Oh, I didn't realise this blog existed. I've been waiting for an email update since their last one on April 1st.

I think he meant 3/4 of the people reading the post, which is probably not representative of the entire population.

You could write your Android app in Objective-C and then run a program that translates it to Java. Google doesn't prohibit you from doing that.

That link doesn't appear to work for me... it just redirects to my FB homepage.

Actually, it looks like a separate script translates all script blocks with type="text/pyscript"

This is reminiscent of those occasional attempts to "fix" Lisp's parentheses. In practise, I've never found JavaScript's braces and semicolons distracting. I just don't notice them that much.

Pretty cool! However, I wonder: are there privacy implications here? If I bring a clojure-bot into a wave with a human, will it be able to 'see' the rest of the conversation?

If you use a text editor that supports regular expressions in a find/replace, you could match on word boundaries (e.g. \bToday\b). That would avoid the first part of the problem that #12 solves.

Google seems to be the obvious example - anecdotally, anyway.

The section "The Slow Loop" posits that many for-loops in the library are much slower than they could be because they "[look] up the .length property of the array ... each time through the loop". I wonder what the performance difference is

I already find that hard enough - I've found that people tend to conflate first-class functions with closures.
