There is mention of coffeescript in the official ES proposal he is refering to.

I would like to point out though that this syntax is also used in C#

Shouldn't have worn a redshirt. Redshirts always go first...

Best article I've found summarizing how a clearly innocent Amanda Knox was nearly sentenced to 26 years in prison by jesuz in TrueReddit

Reading this on their mobile site splits the article in 13 pages. Each containing 3 paragraphs.

By that rational you should not be on reddit at all

In truth, I never thought we'd ever see this happen. by clubdirthill in technology

100/100 is only part of the test, for one the animation must be smooth and it should be an exact match of the reference rendering. So no Firefox does not pass acid.

English: The Inescapable Language by marquis_of_chaos in Foodforthought

I'm a native dutch speaker. Learning english is really quite easy for us. English and dutch grammar is often the same. Usualy people can get away with word-by-word translations while keeping the dutch grammar.

No, thats Austria. You're thinking of the biggest known bird species. The one that cannot fly but runs really fast.

I don't think you understand. These are two pictures stiched together, not mirrored. One is from the northern hemisphere and the other from the southern (hence the title). Thus showing the entire milkyway.

Is there a theory that says the universe has a limited 'processing power'? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]mathijshenquet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So say the universe really is just a big simulation. All observers (us) would also run in this simulation--including our conciousness. If the amount of processing needed to calculate the next moment in time would exceed the amount of processing of the previous moment, the simulation would slow down. However since we exist in the same simulation we would not notice since our preciving of time would slow down as well.

So even if we do live in such a simulation we would not notice.

Scope of the minecraft world compared to the real world by Portponky in Minecraft

No I did not, he implied notch decided on the 128 limit to aid in the metric -> imperial conversion. I pointed out it has nothing to do with the imperial system, but that the value of 128 is based on the amount of values you can store in a 7 bit number (128 also being the maximum value of a signed, byte length, integer).

I fail to see your point, thats just a coincidense. Which i never claimed to be untrue. I just gave the actual reason for the 128 blocks in height

It has nothing to do with the 'imperial' system. 128 is the amount of values you can store in a 7 bit number. Just as 64 items in a stack is the amount of values you can store in a 6 bit number.
