"a possibility that was raised by some studies that found that in Arabic-speaking countries, where letters and numbers are read right to left, the mental number scale was reversed."

This is wrong, despite Arabic being an RTL language, in Arabic numbers are written, and read [1], in the same orientation as in Latin, Left to right. e.g. So 1,230 is written in the same orientation in arabic.

[1] this applies to all numbers with more than 3 digits. things are a little more complex for 2 digits numbers. As in English and French 12, or 11 are speller as "one word", however 35 in Arabic is spelled five and thirty instead of thirty five.

[2] the "latin" numerals are actually arabic numerals. The current numbers used in Arabic speaking countries are suspected to be of Roman origin according the wikipida article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals.

Fair enough that v8 is an odd case, but it's an external dependency that predates Chrome/Chromium with its own core team, development processes, third-party obligations, and ecosystem. And accepting that, v8 does have third-party contributors (see their policy here: https://code.google.com/p/v8-wiki/wiki/Contributing). Plus, do you really take issue with the occasional quietly developed code drop, because isn't that pretty much how your team introduced asm.js support in Firefox?

Beyond JS engines, you must appreciate that dependencies and business relationships can get very odd when shipping something as big and complicated as a browser. Chrome/Chromium absolutely experiences this, but so does Mozilla. Take HTML EME, where Adobe's technical requirements have pretty much forced Mozilla to break Andreas' and Brendan's original promises on how much the closed-source CDM will be sandboxed. Then there's the h.264 situation, which is an odd multi-step dance to deliver binaries from Cisco, and is significantly more convoluted than Chrome's use of ffmpeg.

Regardless, I don't believe you're really trying to make the argument that Chromium is not a publicly developed open source project with a huge pool of non-Google contributors. Because you know that to simply be an indisputable fact, even if there is additional complexity around certain dependencies and platforms.
"Does", not "did". But I really don't understand what you're trying to say.

Side-Menu.iOS: Animated side menu with customizable UI
Well....I have both a beefy gaming pc and a next-gen console. Yeah, my PC is more powerful and can run anything you throw at it. But most of the time I simply enjoy just sitting on the sofa with a controller in hand, one click the console is on(and it turns my TV and amp on as well), another click and the game is launching. The system is quiet and uses less energy - my £1200 gaming machine sure has an overclocked CPU and a custom cooling system,but it doesn't change the fact that it has a total of 7 fans and uses 400W while running games - I had it in my living room for a while but didn't enjoy the whiz of air. In fact, I bought Dragon Age Inquisition on PC to enjoy better graphics, but after the latest Nvidia Driver broke the game(huge FPS spikes, artifacts everywhere) I just bought a console version. Pop the disc in, go. No drivers, no config, it just works. Sure the graphics are slightly worse,but not enough for me to care. And the price of games was literally never an issue for me - just the lack of time to actually play them.

I love this idea, but I have some issues with their chart, particularly as related to authentication via email.

A developer with a few minutes of thinking time could get around the "red" spots associated with email authentication, and fill in any missing dots pretty easily.

And for better or worse, email is currently one of the better ways to create an identity for the masses, and it's also one of the few systems that your average user can justify the pain of setting up 2 factor auth on.

The only thing better would be to use text messages, if you could come up with a way to lower the impedance for the user.

It isn’t “evangelical zealotry,” it’s fundamental (i.e. inspired by “The Fundamentals”). And it doesn’t reconcile. But that’s OK.

The housing shortage is very location-specific. Stoke-on-Trent were selling houses for £1 and giving renovation grants to anyone who promised to actually live there and make the area less run down.

I do a lot of shell scripting, and I'm not sure there is such a thing as a "proper" shell script. The shell just isn't a great programming language. Just about any modern scripting language is better, starting with Perl. But the shell has been the lingua franca of the Unix world for decades now. It's the one language that you can pretty much guarantee is on any Unix or Linux server, even pretty ancient ones.

I don't doubt that Haskell isn't a better scripting language language than the shell, but you can't assume /usr/bin/env runhaskell is going to return anything on random Linux servers. Perl and Python, maybe, but Haskell isn't there yet.
Suffering oriented programming
Perhaps what has been missed is the difference between a single coin flip and a combination of coin flips?

Consider one startup.

f(x) = #fail

succeeds better than 50%, and

f(x) = #succeed

succeeds less than 50%. This is due to the nature of startups.

Sure, it's easy to get about 50% accuracy for one startup by flipping a coin:

f(x) = if rand(1) > 0.5 then #fail else #succeed

But consider the case of two companies A and B. There are now four outcomes:

A = #fail, B = #fail
A = #succeed, B = #fail
A = #fail, B = #succeed
A = #succeed, B = #succeed

If we flip a coin, we have to flip it twice. Our probability that two coin flips match the correct tuple is 25%, and bumping that up to 50% is a massive improvement.

Investors diversify their portfolios. In a portfolio of 100 startups there's probably a winner. Improving the selection of companies means reducing the number of a fund's portfolio companies necessary for a reasonable probability of a winner. More smaller yet successful funds makes capital more efficient.

Better pruning of boolean search spaces has real value. Hence:

One thing that interests me, though the article and study don't touch on it, is that we as humans tend to visualize our number lines on the X axis (e.g. left and right), rather than the Y axis (up and down), Z axis (forward and backward), or W axis (ana and kata).

I know there are some writing systems in which writing is done up/down rather than left/right. I wonder how that influences the spatial visualization of numbers.

I also wonder whether other species might visualize numbers on something other than the X axis.

I was in a very similar situation 4 years ago when I switched from 100% .NET work in my local area to 100% Ruby/Rails work remotely.

The first suggestion would be to join a Javascript developers meetup in your area. If there isn't one, start one on MeetUp.com. Network with other folks who are interested in these technologies and start collaborating with a few of them on some interesting side projects. You may even find an development manager that wants to hire experienced folks interested in learning Node, EmberJS, etc.

Once you have something significant to shop around to more influential folks, it's just a matter of time before you'll land your first gig away from .NET land.

The only caveat is you should plan to take a pay cut for your first non .NET gig, because it will likely be at a small company or startup and they will discount your experience. Once you have a bit more experience, you should be back to your old .NET salary in no time by switching to a larger shop within a year or two.

Good luck!

The NSA should be performing signal and human intelligence operations around the world to ensure the US can track global events. While the Internet is a key tool for this, it doesn't make them the "internet cops" of the US.
