I'd be more than happy to explore the addition of Tame.js-style CPS to the CoffeeScript compiler -- but there's a lot of prior work there already:

https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/issues/241

https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/issues/287

https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/issues/350

Edit:

Things look a little less promising after running a simple test. This input JavaScript:

while (i--) {
twait {
fs.readFile("one");
fs.readFile("two");
}
}

Gets compiled into this resulting "tamed" JavaScript:

var tame = require('tamejs').runtime;
var __tame_fn_0 = function (__tame_k) {
var __tame_k_implicit = {};
var __tame_fn_1 = function (__tame_k) {
if (i --) {
var __tame_fn_2 = function (__tame_k) {
var __tame_ev = new tame.Event (__tame_k);
var __tame_fn_3 = function (__tame_k) {
fs .readFile ( "one" ) ;
fs .readFile ( "two" ) ;
tame.callChain([__tame_k]);
};
__tame_fn_3(tame.end);
__tame_ev.trigger();
};
tame.callChain([__tame_fn_2, __tame_fn_1, __tame_k]);
} else {
tame.callChain([__tame_k]);
}
};
__tame_k_implicit.k_break = __tame_k;
__tame_k_implicit.k_continue = function() { __tame_fn_1(__tame_k); };
tame.callChain([__tame_fn_1, __tame_k]);
};
__tame_fn_0 (tame.end);

... not so nice to work with or debug. The general conclusion of that series of tickets was that the code generation required to make this CPS transformation work with all edge cases is a bit too hairy to be worth it on balance. Depending on how much sequential async you're doing, YMMV.

Why my code is better then your code
That reminds me of monads in Haskell (they can solve this problem (and other as well) matemagically). I've seen somewhere a proposal to add them into Javascript, but I doubt the idea will be loved by public.

(By "add them to JS" I mean some syntactic sugar, not a library)
People have limits. I don't know enough about the situation to know if he was under the kind of load that would cause most people to act differently, but I suspect that is the case.

My first thought for implementing tame.js was with yield, but V8 doesn't currently support it (though it's reserved as a "future" keyword). A direct use of yield (without anything like twait) would probably make node code look more like Python/Twisted code, which while better than the status quo, still can get unmanageable in my experience.

Agreed that twait conflates concurrency with blocking/callbacks, but it my experience, it's a natural and useful combination.
Proposal? JavaScript 1.7 introduced generators circa 2006, which I do believe lets you implement something like this (in addition to a bunch of other cool things).

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/New_in_JavaScript_1.7#Gener...

Unfortunately, V8 doesn't support generators, as far as I can tell.
The reasoning as far as I can tell goes something like this:

1. Git, because of its source and momentum, is the more popular of the two. So when you are looking for code hosting that supports your tool bit bucket doesn't.

2. GitHub was first and seems to be better. Bit bucket has a reputation for being a cheap knock off of Git Hub for some reason.

3. I don't think you will find to many startup founders who really see a difference between the two price points, 10 bucks a month just isn't enough to worry about when bigger things like hardware costs and employee salaries dominate the list of costs.
Given the volatility of the currency and the insecurity (either real or perceived) of exchanges like MtGox, I'd stay away from any BTC auction not purely for experimental purposes. An auction by nature selects the bidder with greatest desire for the item as he/she will offer the highest bid. Limiting to BTC will likely decrease your profit potential.
That's incorrect. You can read the ruling for yourself:

http://www.copiepresse.be/pdf/Copiepresse%20-%20ruling%20app...

The decision was pertaining to the use of lead paragraphs and other excerpts from copyrighted articles in the Google News aggregator. It didn't refer to plain links in the general search engine.

I see that my comments in this discussion are being voted down for pointing this out, which is bizarre. I'm simply stating the truth and correcting posts that mistakenly assume the lawsuit was in reference to ALL links in the search engine. Voting me down is incredibly lame.

I believe that Google is deliberately misinterpreting the decision, likely to remind content-owners that Google controls their source of online revenue and to therefore back off. Google has a history of being defiant with regards to this lawsuit, ignoring a court order to publish the court's decision on their Belgian websites, so they would surely have no problem doing something retaliatory under the guise of following the court's decision.
How Startups Come Up with a Name: What NYC Co's Can Learn from Twitter and Apple
Jim Rogers is a pretty interesting guy. He's a well known author of "Investment Biker" and "Adventure Capitalist" about trips he took biking or driving around the world. He definitely has cultivated a unique world view for himself.

I grew up in Singapore (for 16 years), and there are fantastic international schools there. The local schools focus less on learning through creative problem solving and more on learning through repetition. I wouldn't put my kid in a local school, but that's interesting he did.

I think that living in another country as an expat creates it's own problems, but trying to totally assimilate is impossible, especially when you look nothing like the locals. The first tends to make you feel superior or separate like I'd imagine the colonials felt. The second will give you humility and expose you to what it's like to be a minority.

There are many ways to skin a cat. Exposure to thinking other than your own is good regardless of how it happens.

Really? Suppose you went to a website for a similar kind of company but with a prominent Wild West theme, sheriff stars for buttons and products called Lasso and Six-Shooter. If I had to guess, I'd say that company was anything but American. Heroku's website oozes fanboy kitsch in much the same way. The difference is that a lot more technologists are Japanophiles than wannabe cowboys, so we don't notice as much and just lap that shit up.

Agreed. It's not ideology, it's partisanship. It's the illusion that it's okay for the country to suffer now, because it will benefit my party and after the next election my party will make up for it with the great legislation we will be able to pass.

My concerns:

* "proxy-less" is a bad term, it sounds like they're still using a proxy, it's just using https encapsulation along the way to hide this from the first few hops.

* The participating entry-nodes (proxies?) could be systematically determined with a scanner for future blacklisting or investigation by someone trying to stop this circumvention of censorship.

* You have to trust the people running the entry nodes, if they have the key to decrypt your traffic. This sounds like a design that governments can use for monitoring.
You're asking me how it's bad that Google is using a strong-arm tactic to punish content-owners who sued it? Surely, I don't need to answer that question, especially with Google's monopoly troubles in Europe. Google should let things be, respect the decision, and move on.

I'd also like to mention again how incredibly lame it is that my comments are being voted down in this discussion. All I did was correct people who assumed the lawsuit was pertaining to ALL search engine links. I'm at a loss as to what I wrote that warrants negative votes.
Nope, I don't think there are any (the CSS3 workarounds can be tricky with custom padding/margin). Google consistently uses nested elements and I think for the next few years that's the only solution that's going to work well cross-browser.
I wonder what percentage of *nix Apache and Nginx users, where a managed package is available, still download and build from source.

I don't think people cheat to learn skills. They cheat to get a credential that can be used to get them into a job. The credential differentiates them from the non-cheating or non-intelligent population. With it they can manipulate others into thinking they are worth more than they are.

Of course, at that point you might think they'd be out of their league but in many cases this won't be the case. There are a lot of jobs which require great degrees but only to get in...

Ask HN: What is the startup life cycle?
I'm curious as to what the life cycle is for a startup to go through. I understand there is the initial idea, an incubation period where the idea is hashed out, rounds of funding, etc. I guess my main question is:

What does the "standard" process look like for a startup that succeeds?

I understand that bootstrapped startups don't go through the same process as a VC-funded startup does, but it wouldn't hurt to include that information as well.

The problem is that that profile is against TOS and will probably be deleted for that. It's not Google+ that helped you, it's people who abused it for something it's not. (At least, not yet.)

Twitter probably also has lists of voice over artists... Yup, a quick google search for 'twitter voice over artists' provides a few directories that have been compiled by people.

Facebook probably has groups.

There are forums out there specifically for that, I'm sure.

So there isn't really anything specific about Google+ that made it easier. (Again, at least not yet. I'm hoping they add those features soon.)

True, you wouldn't get the syntactic sugar of the result variables - you would have to return them as an array or object with named properties. Lack of V8 support is of course the killer, and when I wrote my original comment, I for some reason assumed you'd modified V8 (at which point you may as well have implemented yield), but it turns out you just do the CPS transform in a preprocessing pass. Nice!
In South Carolina, I met a cabbie who was renovating a big Federal style house in the north part of town. No furnace, and certainly no AC. He was also camped out in the living room, and doing all of the work himself. Got a $20,000 community reinvigoration loan from the government to help him out.
I believe the 3rd problem is partially a software problem. I think with proper software to either emulate the advancement through a book, or with a recall function of recently viewed or saved pages; This problem could disappear.
And it's certainly not worth only $5 for someone's professional time. Voice acting is not the piece of cake that people think it is.
4) Buying Kindle books and owning it forever is old news- but now you can rent them too. But as another student who has tried the Kindle-textbook solution in the past, I agree with the other points more or less. I will add that being able to search the entire text of the book instantly is a huge plus for me.

I really really want to like e-textbooks, but I wouldn't try experiment again without the large-format Kindle, and I just can't justify the massively increased price over the smaller Kindle.

I agree that feature wise, Google Plus has more overlap with Twitter. So why do people keep comparing it to Facebook?

Because it feels like Facebook. The feeds seem like Facebook feeds, the mobile app seems like the Facebook app. Google and Facebook feel like competitors.

If Google Plus had focused on text messages or had no photos or was just more stripped down in general, it would probably feel like Twitter. The way Google Buzz felt like Twitter.

I have a few friends who are linked to me on FB, Buzz, Twitter and LinkedIn. Issue is that I get the same messages in every medium and most of the time, they're not worth seeing 4 times :) I figure if someone wants my Twitter posts they'll follow me on Twitter.
With the right kind of digitized textbook, random access can be really nice on a computer. For things like medical texts, where the topic that you're searching for might be referenced in multiple places not all of which show up in the book's index, computerized texts are fantastic.

If I need to learn serially from a book rather than merely reference it, I prefer physical texts; I simply find physical textbooks to be more pleasing.
HTML5 audio formats - Firefox should support AAC and IE should support OGG
SomethingAwful has had something like that since the early 2000s as well, with some things being purely status, like paying an extra $10 to get a bigger avatar image. Also introduced as a (successful) solution to their previous lack of success monetizing via ads.

(I believe, at least for a while, you could also change someone else's avatar for something like $20 or $30, and they could pay some similar amount to insure it against changes.)
I had to charge my Kindle one night every couple weeks with heavy usage. It was never a problem at all.
Having separate processes for each tab will increase resource usage. This isn't a problem if you've got a standard up-to-date home computer, but is a problem for someone with outdated hardware like me. The thing is, there currently is no other browser that matches what Firefox can do for me in terms of plugins and tab management (particularly the ability not to load all tabs on start-up, but only the one I was looking at, which is helpful for saving RAM and bandwidth). If Firefox moves in a way that increases its resource usage, what alternative will there be for me? I will refuse to use an old version, and will be just left behind.

Note that I am welcome for suggestions of browsers that can potentially be a Firefox replacement if Firefox ever is no longer usable due to high requirements.

What about "common sense" predicts Greek default?

How is that this software do not predicts USA default too? USA is in the same situation that Greece is and those Geniuses continue expending trillions in Irak and Afghanistan.

Greece, USA, Japan, UK, Spain, Italy... those countries are going to default one way or another because math is math and the magic of compound interest exponential growing sometimes do not happen. They could use massive inflation or face default, one way or another they are not going to pay what they indebt.

Change on a Dime: Agile Design
If you think that the Internet contains to answer to all questions, that's amazing.

I don't. I think that the internet contains information that can be used to assemble an answer, for pretty much any undergraduate question you can think of. (That assembly can be done using copy/paste, if you are lazy, and that will generally result in the answer being in substandard language. But it would still have all the relevant information and it would be hard to disentangle a copy/pasted answer from whether someone is just a poor writer.)
Uh, don't you mean within reason? What if I wanted you to be my slave? And markets can have negative externalities, especially on the existing markets they're dependent of, so I think some of the concern is justified even though I'm typically pro-free market.

Our First Business Card
Good article, though i disagree with his conclusion that natural unemployment is going to fundamentally change. He is arguing that the economy is in a state of change and the losers in this creative destruction are those in low skilled jobs. so that explains the currently high unemployment, but to argue that we are at a new natural level doesn't seem justified. As the population (albeit slowly) retrains to participate in the higher skilled labor market employment will rise.

This is somewhat similar to the classic dismal science (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dismal_science) argument. Even though there is high unemployment now arguing that the economy cannot find a use for these people seems very short sighted.

When you first come across it it looks like they're console commands. Yay! You go, the light has been seen at MS! After mucking round with cmd and then power shell for a few minutes you realize, well, no, they're not. There's yet another window added to visual studio to run the commands and it installs a new directory and a crapton of pointless files in your project directory to boot. Woo. Like we needed more of them. And just to be extra useful it puts yet another option in the already vastly overcrowded and poorly organised right-click menu of projects.

I love visual studio and C#. But NuGet's pretty pants, it just feels like you're being treated like a child.

To me this just smacks of the overkill of the asp.net membership system to me. Vastly overcomplicated to do a simple job. Maybe I'm just getting cynical in my old age and it's time to switch to linux. There's lots of little things that bug me in .Net though so it's probably just one of my pet peeves. For example I've always detested the obsession asp.net has with ~ that for the most part is totally and utterly pointless.

With a lot of things MS seem to approach the problem with the most complicated use case in mind rather than the simplest.
IANAL, and haven't read the patents. But "system and method for performing an action on a structure in computer-generated data" and "real-time signal processing system for serially transmitted data" - really? I'm sure people were doing both of these before Apple even existed, and in the case of the second one, probably before anyone involved at Apple or HTC was born. Doesn't sounds very novel or inventive.

Interesting read though, maybe I should start stocking up on Androids ready for the black market!
Article needs more hyperbole.

This is nothing new - companies are constantly going back and forth over patent infringements.
I don't understand patents all that well, so perhaps somebody could help me understand: how are the things patented not totally absurd?
incorrect and stupid article especially the title
I spent one Saturday helping a friend to pound in fenceposts for a minimal fence because of this Texas law.

If you ever have to do this, buy a lead pipe. Otherwise, the top of a fencepost is an annoying high target to hit with a sledgehammer! You simply put the lead pipe around the metal fencepost and you use it like a pile-driver against a couple of flanges close to the bottom.

If the neighbors are too stupid/lazy to contact the owner of record and do something about this, instead of complaining to the cops who have no authority in this case, then they deserve to have their desires frustrated.
