Thanks for the link, Keith, and Pete.

Makes me wonder if the JavaScript open-source "community" has any mechanism other than name-and-shame to "police" itself. Of course, that's making the wild assumption that the word "community" is relevant to the terms "open-source" and/or "JavaScript."

But, I'm not knocking JavaScript, the monster that ate the web because economic and political agendas of the "major net powers" couldn't agree on anything better. The use of it has been improved much thanks to John Resig (jQuery) and others, and, now, TypeScript and other "wrappers" for development essentially let you ignore its not-good-for-OOD limitations to some extent.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
