The wiki page says:

// these two lines are equivalent
await a, b, c, d = moo(1, 2, 3);
moo(1, 2, 3, function(a, b, c, d) {} );

So I don't see why not...

// ...these two lines would be also equivalent
await error, foo = bar(1, 2, 3);
bar(1, 2, 3, function(error, foo) {} );
Just because you cannot construct a perfect circle in the real world does not mean that mathmeticians are guilty of a logical fallacy. I am suggesting that capitalism is something the world has never seen outside of approximations, and that anything more is likely impossible.

Unicorns don't exist either but that doesn't mean that you can go cry logical fallacy if somebody says a horse with a horn pasted to it's head isn't one.

Scotsmem of course do actually exist...

You don't seem to have read my comments for comprehension though, so it's not surprising that you're getting hung up here...

I'm not sure what precisely you mean by "transparency of trading". One of the common goals of trading is minimize the revelation of information about your intentions that other traders can exploit against you. Trading is like warfare--being transparent is not a strength.

Additionally, you can't just make one law that tells people to "be transparent." The enacted laws have to be specific in order to be meaningful. Because they are specific, people will find ways around them and continue playing the game.
Try OKCupid or a similar dating website. It gives you the opportunity to meet new women at your convenience by initiating contact through a 3-line email. And if they respond you know they are interested.

As far as skill set...just be yourself and talk about your interests and her interests. Having some sort of 'game' or whatever isn't going to work very well on educated women.

> Funny how all the jQuery fanboys are quick to downvote, question my knowlege, and ignore my question simultaneously.

The only "questions" you asked are 1. whether people still use jQuery (it's one of the most popular DOM-manipulation libraries out there and growing) and whether jQuery has a future, in the middle of confused ranting betraying a deep lack of familiarity not only with the library itself (which can be excused) but with the purpose and role of that library as well (which really can't, at least do your homework).

> question my knowlege

One can only question your knowledge when you consistently demonstrate a complete lack thereof.

(next) ->

z w next

When this is done, do you think Facebook will stop supporting/remove their native apps from the Apple/Android app stores?

It's the logical thing to do, but the user outcry will be incredible; they'll probably just stop releasing and wait for people to slowly leave. (and will this ever see the light of day - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3040225 ? Doubtful)
Right now, targeting all the different browsers or all the different native platforms out there is tedious.

You could imagine that android will slowly slip towards Chrome NACL apps, with 'native' android apps becoming deprecated and then disappearing.

And then someone will make a NACL-on-the-cloud thing like Opera Mini for everybody else.

What NACL needs is a platform that runs in it that is basically a browser in the NACL so its easy to code for and target...
I haven't used it, but I'd wager it's about having Visual Studio, and F# basically using CAML light syntax, so it's less verbose than OCAML.

Exactly. The error object is a return value of the "await"-ed function, not an exception that's thrown.

Here's a concrete example. Normally in Node you do something like this:

fs.readFile('/etc/passwd', function (err, data) {
if (err) {
// handle error
}
// normal processing
});

The await version would look like this:

await err, data = fs.readFile('/etc/passwd');
if (err) {
// handle error
}
// normal processing

Ideally it would look like this:

try {
await data = fs.readFile('/etc/passwd');
// normal processing
} catch (error) {
// handle error
}

And in a lot of other languages writing in CPS incurs a performance penalty (lucky for me it seems to be < 1 order of magnitude in clojure); I assume this is the case in node.js too?
I understand why this is happening; application developers want to regain control of the stack and of content sales - Facebook especially wants to bring its app infrastructure with micropayments to iPhone without giving Apple its cut.

However, web apps were tried before - the original iPhone, for example - and were overwhelmingly underused and rejected by users. Has that changed? Possibly, but until we see the next crop of webapps we may not know. Personally, I feel that there is a certain irrational preference for having an app installed on your device, where it won't change or update automatically and will be accessible offline (even if you can't do anything useful with it).

Having said that, web apps have expanded and done quite well in the PC world - the idea of a native Facebook desktop client is laughable, and I'd guess that most average users use a web app for email.

It'll be interesting to see how this battle goes.
IMHO the fact that the accepted solution to this problem is "use an async helper library" is a bad sign. This is so fundamental it should be part of the language, or at least runtime.
what do you mean by this -> "callbacks all the way down" whenever something starts having any async computation.

Just going out with the vague intention of meeting women isn't going to get you anywhere as a nerdy type of guy. A better approach is to do things that you'll enjoy anyway where talking and getting to know others (including women) is a core part of the activity.

A few that come to mind: creative writing groups, acting groups, language learning groups and exchanges, book clubs. I'm sure there are plenty of others. Besides being generally intellectually rewarding activities, women are usually the majority in groups like these, and they are likely to be smart and interesting to boot. The emphasis is also taken off of small talk and social poise, and placed instead on intelligence, creativity, authenticity, and other traits that nerds excel in. Even if you don't meet the girl of your dreams, you can at least have a good time, develop your mind in some new directions, and expand your social circle a bit.
IPhone Development Resources & Guide
iPhone is one of the best and finest creation of Apple Inc. Whether you agree or not but it fantasizes everyone and they want to get their hands on it. There are a number of Apps available on the internet but the business is still in its initial stage and a number people want to develop these apps. Talented iPhone Web developers are still demand if the day. So if you also want to be an iPhone Web developer or already are and want to do something new and do not know where to turn for fresh new resources, then you have ended up at the right place by visiting web3mantra.com. Today I have compiled a list of iPhone Web Development Resources….check them out!!
Sure, it's been done. Why do consumers care? They don't really. Is this for news developers? because not much meat here for the dev crowd and they aren't announcing anything exciting here.

Also Amazon's cloud isn't so massively distributed that it's in every single location that some how makes GEOIP work which was the point.

Thanks for making it. Very entertaining and almost hypnotizing to watch.

The application freezes for me when I set "population size" to 5, i.e. identical to "simultaneous creatures". Seems to happen rather consistently in Chrome on windows.

Edit: Seems to be able to reproduce the issue in FF as well.
I have been writing Node since late 2009 and Javascript with Rhino before that and Javascript with Rails before that. Before Node, I was used to linear program execution and was hesitant to switch to writing asynchronous code.

My mental model of code was one-dimensional: do this, then do that, then do that. So I was used to exception handling for errors, and my programs were like trains on a track. This was a comfortable abstraction, but the way in which my programs were written did not reflect what they were doing in the real-world: reading from disk, reading from the network, waiting for something, doing something, responding to something, receiving something in chunks.

Now, looking back, I prefer writing code that reflects what my programs are doing. There is more headspace, another dimension, no longer one thing after another, but a stack of things hovering and happening at the same time, interacting with each other, moving forwards through time.

Now, instead of trying to make concurrent work appear non-concurrent, I prefer to embrace concurrency and see how I can write for concurrency. This is almost certainly different to the way in which I would have written synchronous code. Code for me is less complex now and shorter now than when it was synchronous. It feels richer and more descriptive of the work being performed. It's also faster and more reliable. In essence, I have learned to write better concurrent code.
The "see a demo deals site" link on the left hand side launches as a popup this was a problem for me.

I don't have my browser full screen so I had to maximise to see it. Then the popup was corrupt. I refreshed and maximised the page and clicked again. It worked but then there was a sub popup asking for an email address so I couldn't see the demo.

Apart from that I thought it was a good landing page.

I wonder why their showcase features a picture of a DigiNotar certificate [1]. Could it be that DigiNotar was in the news recently?

From WikiPedia: "On July 10, 2011, a certificate was issued by DigiNotar's systems for Google by an attacker with access to their systems. This certificate was subsequently used by unknown persons in Iran to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack against Google services. On August 28, 2011, certificate problems were observed on multiple Internet service providers in Iran. The fraudulent certificate was posted on pastebin."

..and that was only the start of a whole chain of events...

DigiNotar went bankrupt a few days ago [3].

Sports Dissertation

Valuable point. I'm not sure if I agree with the "excellent value". However, at least ACM tries to be reasonably fair. Recently they seem to have introduced a clause in the copyright transfer from which allows you to retain copyright for specific figures in your paper.
Still a far way from Open Access but way better than all other major publishers.
What I really hate about publishers like Elsevier or Springer is that they claim to add value by ensuring only high-quality papers get published. In reality, every major publisher, except ACM, seems to be perfectly happy with publishing a lot of rubbish research.

This is certainly something that is doable and crossed my mind, but I did not want to have the await be restricted to functions that conform to the typical return arguments. For now at least.
This is indeed an unhealthy trend. The past years nearly all major desktop environments have been adding stuff like window compositing, shadows, translucent windows and other graphics gimmicks which just add bloat, bling-bling and no usability value. In many cases usability even suffered. For example, KDE4 removed a lot of configurability that made KDE3 such a malleable environment. It's fashionable to remove choices from the user and do windowdressing instead.

Ever had to drill down the network settings in Windows Vista control panel? As soon as you're past the initial window and at the TCP/IP settings tab, you're suddenly back in Windows XP land with the @#$% tiny list of interfaces, having to use both vertical and horizontal scrollbars, and no way to resize the window, thank you Microsoft. But at least the Start Menu looks like a glossy magazine, and have you seen the translucent taskbar? Wow! That's what we needed!
In an attempt to increase my productivity I turned off e-mail notifications, now I only notice new messages when I mouse-over the OSX dock or manually check my mail client.

(1) to be a trader (be it sole trader, partnership or other) in the UK one must be authorised by the Financial Services Authority. Rastani is not registered as one, and consequently not authorised, i.e. not a trader.
(2) Rastani does not show up in either the Bloomberg or Reuters directory. ANY trader uses either a Bloomberg Terminal or 3000 Xtra. He does not use either.
The general public does not have a way of checking these. Bottom line, Rastani is a hoax.

When I look at the quality and quantity of journals in the archives that I get access to for a couple hundred bucks a year, I'm flabbergasted. I only wish there was something similar for the Humanities-- I'd pay in a heartbeat for that.

Elsevier and Springer's pricing, in contrast, is extortionate.

Reduce complexity: sure.
But if we have requirements that can be well defined within an async FP paradigm, then maybe an async FP environment isn't such a 'problem'... and many of us "average programmers" already know lisp.
If nodejs doesn't suit everyone, probably not everyone should use nodejs. But if we're going to have a go at it, let's not immediately dismiss node's natural style as "an absolute mess"
JavaScript itself gives developers enough power to beautify messy async code, already. Below is the rewrite of the first example in that page, with async function composition:

====

/* https://gist.github.com/1250314 */

var db = require('somedatabaseprovider'),

compose = require('functools').compose;

compose.async(getApp, connect, select)({ url:'/price', host:'host', pass:'123' }, function(error, shift){

shift.conn.close();

shift.res.send(shift.products[0]);

});

====

It's that easy to abstract those messy callbacks using some functional tools.
Quality comes from the authors and the volunteers who peer review submissions, not from copyright

This is true. But that does not mean that the publisher provides minimal value; it's worth remembering that Knuth lobbied hard to get the Journal of Algorithms moved from Elsevier to the ACM (where it became TALG) due to issues of copyright and pricing.

The ACM (and IEEE) are miles above the commercial publishers in this regard.

Plagiarism, or detection of (academic) plagiarism has very little to do with copyright.

The ACM says otherwise, and they are the ones who are actually pursuing cases. I tend to take their word for it.
Seriously can you please answer me, why someone who is so smart to have a Dr. degree or other title would be willing to work for free, or even pay for it??

I really don't understand it, what is special about IEEE.
Why do Scientists send their papers or findings to IEEE etc. instead of just publishing it?
Seriously, can someone please give me an insightfull answer to this?

If you answer with, nobody has been able to to code system x, that makes IEEE so special and unique, then it's not valid point I think. Because there are enough developers who could pull out a P2P Scientific Document store in a matter of days.

Heck, if someone writes text that he think is valuable and is willing to share it with the public domain, why doesn't he just upload it to say: P2P Networks, Cloudstorages or anything else that helps in this matter?
why would they remove them? Just update the application with an embedded safari to the HTML5 version?

The problem with dating that many women at a time is that it's a giant waste of time, effort and ultimately money.

I don't know about you, but I don't have the funds to go on that many dates even if I am the kind of cheap who always splits the bill.
everyone brings up the example its been tried before, but hardware was a different story back then. mobile hardware is coming to a point where it will be able to run webapps no problem, its just going to take some amazing apps to make people change the mindset of opening up an app for every little thing, rather than staying in one app.. and switching bookmarks/tabs.

native facebook app is not that laughable, apple people tend to like their native apps example:twitter. I'm not the right person to ask since I prefer everything in the browser but I can see it happening.

That also confused me. It is in the docs but not in the code yet (see: https://github.com/carlhuda/bundler/issues/1401 )
Interesting work, the problem I see with using standard "unit tests" as fitness functions to evolve objects (or their functions) is that the resulting program may only compute the correct output for the defined test cases:

Say for example we want a function that adds two integers, we create a test with:

int x = 0; int y=0;
for (int x=0,y=0;x<10;x++,y++){
int result = sumIntegers(x,y);
assert (result== x+y);
writeFitness(x,y,(result-x-y)/(x+y));
}

A correct function (with fitness == 0) can be:

int sumIntegers(int x, int y) {
if (x == 1 and y == 1) return 2;
if (x == 2 and y == 2) return 4;
if (x == 3 and y == 3) return 6;
...
}

Which is not semantically what we wanted.

Fairly certain that there aren't any publicized spec for OBML (aka Opera Binary Markup Language, aka the Opera Mini markup language).

Maybe it associates the Serial Number (or a UUID) of the device with your account when you buy it, and then when it first boots, it asks Amazon for the account attached to the device's UUID.
Excellent suggestion! That has been my experience as well. It's better to focus on auxiliary activities where you'll meet women as part of the group, and have to work with them, instead of focusing on dating. It's much less awkward (as there are no high expectations), you're bound to have at least one shared interest, and you get to know them how they are in daily life...
