You got it all wrong - this black-box is used to make your understanding of the code even worst (and with JavaScript it means a lot!)... 
1 and 2 is good, but has nothing to do with JS but with programming in general.
But 3 is the best! Go with this and you will get a slow application even with the best JS engine (hint compare prototype extension with adding function to single instance only)!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

The American Statistical Association (ASA) leadership, and many in Statistics academia worry that the field of Statistics is headed for a future of reduced national influence and importance. You can dress statistics up, but ...

In the face of a climate emergency, Dr. Ken Caldeira says, we may be able to temporarily limit the damage by, essentially, simulating a safer version of a massive volcanic eruption. Geoengineers hold stone over the Earth, prepared to smash it like a beetle. kun kun kun.

...and I'm tired of people who refuse to accept scientific evidence and put their own temporary well-being above issues that may affect future generations. I'd like the world to remain capable of supporting my descendants.

"BUT EVERY SIMULATION WE DID SHOWED IT WOULD WORK"
Sure they did. And when you want to see doom and gloom the simulations magically produce that also. 
Think the environment is in trouble now, wait till someone tries to fix it.

Nobody seems to know whether 'Threshold' and 'Windows 9' will be one and the same or separate operating systems. I imagine we'll find out for certain soon(ish)

Beginning next year, if you buy a cell phone in California that gets lost or stolen, you’ll have a built-in ability to remotely deactivate the phone under a new “kill switch” feature being mandated by California law—but the feature will make it easier for police and others to disable the phone as well, raising concerns among civil liberties groups about possible abuse. “It’s great for the consumer, but it invites a lot of mischief”
Sure, you're probably not in California, but as goes the Valley, oft goes everywhere else.

The Indian call centre scam that warns users that their computers are infected is one of the longest running and most annoying Internet rackets. TechCentral’s Regardt van der Berg took one of the scammers for a ride. In case you're wondering how the scam works

Except the author didn't scam them; he figured out how they gain trust, and disconnected before files were deleted. Where's the scamming the scammers part of the story?

You're looking for the wrong skills, hiring the wrong people, and actively screwing yourself and your company. Ignore the click-bait title, there are a few good ideas here
Although, it's amazing any company ever succeeded without his wisdom

I profoundly disagree with "Big companies can accommodate poor communicators" - if you have a "rockstar" who isn't a communicator, invest in making them a better communicator. If you don't do this then other employees will see that this person is accorded high status and that they don't communicate well and will emulate this harmful behaviour.
What big companies can accommodate is raw beginners - and if you are smart enough to turn your uncommunicative rockstars into their mentors you have it all sorted.

Oh, yes please. I have lived in companies that suffered under a rockstar a-hole. It is a nasty virus that spreads, and makes live horrid for everyone.

In fact "big company IT" has a number of problems, of which this is just one. I'd write a blog article but it would degenerate into a rant

Vendors and analysts would have us believe that the Internet of Things is imminent. But, in fact, it will be years before the obstacles it faces can be surmounted. What a coincidence: I just overheard my light bulbs discussing this with my fridge

Although it sounds entirely like something dreamed up in a smoke-filled dorm room, whether the entire universe is hologram is a very serious question—a question that gets at the heart of a fundamental problem in physics. A new experiment starting up at Fermilab just might hold the answer. You just blew my mind, man

Web services are increasingly closed even as the software used to build them is increasingly open. Will developers be able to make a difference? "If you're not paying for It; you're the product"

My boss wants me to develop "store" apps for Microsoft, I told him I thought that Microsoft was soon going to close down outside development of its code base and bring everyone under the umbrella of its own company therefore making all other windows developers that don't like Microsoft obsolete. I'd be working for two bosses, Microsoft and my boss. bully...

A new analysis of Reddit comments shows which language’s developers seem to be the happiest - and which are the most foul-mouthed. "Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do"
