What are the reasons for using these two different methods and what are the pros and cons of each? Is there anything that can be done with one method that can't be done with the other? JavaScript opinions, activate!

This article, the first in a two-part series, provides a sample application that solves algorithms on the GPUs using Microsoft C++ AMP parallel technology and demonstrates how to debug the code running on the GPU from inside Visual Studio. If you're good, you get Part 2: tiling. But only if you're good.

If the 12 finalists of TechStars Boston’s demo day are any indication, we’re still at the entry stage of the quantified self movement, internet of things, and new-look enterprise application era. Some good ideas to stea- I mean, inspire.

Disqus had to take their commenting system and add realtime capabilities to it. Not something that's easy to do when at the time of the talk (2013) they had had just hit a billion unique visitors a month. How? With style.

Mozilla today officially launched Firefox 29 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. This is a massive release: Firefox Sync has been revamped and is now powered by Firefox Accounts, there’s a new customization mode, and the company’s major user interface overhaul Australis has finally arrived.
We've been waiting a long time for Australis. Let's see how it stacks up.

...and it now looks even more like Chrome with the menu moved to the right.
It makes me sad.

I was getting frustrated with that until I found "Classic Theme Restorer" and then removed the ugly menu from the right.

It's had a mixed reception. Roughly, people who like Chrome like it because it looks more like Chrome and people who don't like it hate it because it looks more like Chrome!
It's also been advertised as being more customisable than before when in fact it's less customisable. Which is another reason why many don't like it.

Oh great. It'll probably break the current selenium-webdriver version I'm using for all the feature testing for my client's code, and quite possibly, if selenium isn't updated yet, not work until the driver is updated. Happily though, I turned off Firefox's automatic update because this wasted literally a day when the browser automatically upgraded to v26 from v25 (I think that was the version change.) And of course, the last time I updated selenium to work with FF v27, it also caused weird anomalies when the tests were run, requiring inserting "And then I see..." in various places (all of which could only be determined by running and fixing each and every scenario, sometimes in multiple places) to get things to sync up before a "Then I click on..." call.
Anticipating much GRRRR..

Sounds like you would be better off with Firefox 24.5 ESR.

A group of developers has released the first public, open-source version of Avail, a multi-purpose paradigmatic programming language designed to articulate and solve complex programming problems.

Hmmm. Reminds me of Plain English. If you have to ask, you weren't there.

Not quite as close to English as this[^].
here’s a program fragment in my favourite high-level language, Inform7:
Overlying relates one thing to various things. The verb to overlie (it overlies, they overlie, it is overlying) implies the overlying relation.
The jacket overlies the shirt. The shoes overlie the socks. The slacks overlie the undershorts. The shirt overlies the undershirt.
Before wearing something when something (called the impediment) which overlies the noun is worn by the player: try taking off the impediment; if the player is wearing the impediment, stop the action.
This is part of the source code of a game. [When In Rome 1: Accounting For Taste[^] by Emily Short.] Specifically, this is the code that adds a rule to the game that describes what happens when a player attempts to put on a pair of socks while wearing shoes.

Ah Richard, you've been here long enough to get Plain English.

That one obviously passed me by. I've found a Lounge post from March 2006 which refers to a series of "Plain English Compiler" articles, but no sign of the articles themselves. I'm assuming it's connected to "The Osmosian Order"?

Indeed it is. The person who calls himself The Grand Negus used to be active here.

Wow! Vizzini[^] was active on CodeProject?

See, as a programmer, Inform7 always bugged me... Too wordy, and just doesn't feel like a programming language at all... That's why I stuck with TADS3. Granted, my games weren't as good as Emily's, but then, she's been doing it a lot longer.
