Best public transit app for London; I use it every day.

Thanks for posting this.

TP-Link WDR3600 is still the best value (non-AC), generally available, consumer grade dual band AP router on the market. Its ~impossible to get built-in modems with dual band Wifi on a functioning software stack, a separate HG612 (DSL) works great.

Microtik can be great value if you're willing to do lots of vendor QA (for other values of vendor) in your lab before going in to production. Most of the problems are to do with community: the docs are an unloved wiki which only staff can modify; release management, QA and bug tracking are third rate; and the forum is a passive-aggressive Engrish ghetto with poor moderation. But config management, CLI and Winbox are still better than straight Linux, and boards start at $40 which can make it worth it.

> a mobile browser with super-aggressive caching

ServiceWorker (WIP) will do this. Its a WebWorker proxy in the browser's request/response pipeline for a particular origin, with a new cache API built on local storage.

It can process page requests and responses with similar semantics to what a WSGI/Rack/MVC controller normally does on the server. It does away with bullshit 'offline mode' divining and encourages apps to work 'offline first'. https://github.com/slightlyoff/ServiceWorker/blob/master/exp...

The polyfill is actually a node.js headless implementation, which makes this look more and more like an isomorphic controller API. https://github.com/phuu/ServiceWorker-Polyfill

This is why I checked these comments. Thank you.

Still no delta sync. Only Dropbox just works with <1Mbps upload.

Exactly. This is a deeper problem than commonly appreciated, and the cfengine author has written at length about that. http://markburgess.org/certainty.html

I learned plenty from both posts. This one made me look at the other threading operators and the new some? functions in 1.5. Consider dropping "with Stasis" from that title. Well done, keep up the good work.

> how these have largely slipped under the radar

Your single example sells this more effectively than the entire OP. cf. http://bost.ocks.org/mike/example/

People who want IPv6, DTLS, decent cli tools (gnutls-cli), pkcs11.

Touché: discoverability.

These are quite readable; worth a look. Thank you, ashwinl.

Its a template for building a pipeline. Naming it after this metaphor ("jspipe"?) might work better. It's more like a OpenRefine[0] than Excel; that analogy doesn't work at all for me.

It's a REPL in the sense that when you click Run, the value of the current evaluation is used (Looped) as the input for the next expression, but this stretches the common understanding, and naming it this way fails to communicate.

The full page transition when you click Run loses the implicit history from a teletype or terminal scrollback. A shell works because you can see two or more values were visible at the same time. The second pane could then show the code of the currently selected value. You could even show the diff/patch between the values as well.

The 'Run' text should look like a button rather than a label, and be moved to the right. It might work even better to just evaluate the code on a timeout without an explicit gesture.
