== Rules ==
On Infrastructure
-----------------
There is one system, not a collection of systems.
The desired state of the system should be a known quantity.
The "known quantity" must be machine parseable.
The actual state of the system must self-correct to the desired state.
The only authoritative source for the actual state of the system is the system.
The entire system must be deployable using source media and text files.

This is a comparison of making a simple http request with basic/digest authentication in perl and java. I was porting a perl app to the android platform (java) and was struck by the different amount of complexity and effort required.

import java.io.InputStreamReader;

Some ECMAScript 6 element are available in Firefox
// To test this code in Firefox, I encourage you to use Firefox Aurora
// and to include your script this way:
// <script type="application/javascript;version=1.8">
// (necessary to make `let` work)
/* let ********************************************* */
// let is the new var :)
// Declares a block scope local variable

Snow in canvas land

Other people's code is awful, and your own code from months previous counts as someone else's. With this and the festive spirit in mind, I dug up a canvas snow demo I made two years ago to see how bad my code really was.

Turns out the performance landscape has changed quite a bit, but after applying a couple of workarounds, best practices, and memory management, I got the demo running smoother than it ever did.

Ugh, I can't believe I just wrote "performance landscape". Anyway...

How does the demo work?
