Why the jQuery Abstraction isn't needed.

(One needs some form of browser normalization so that modern features works, no-one is doubting that).

// Lack of tail call optimization in JS
var sum = function(x, y) {
  return y > 0 ? sum(x + 1, y - 1) :
         y < 0 ? sum(x - 1, y + 1) :
         x
}

sum(20, 100000) // => RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

In August 2007 a hacker found a way to expose the PHP source code on facebook.com. He retrieved two files and then emailed them to me, and I wrote about the issue:

http://techcrunch.com/2007/08/11/facebook-source-code-leaked/

It became a big deal:

The two files are index.php (the homepage) and search.php (the search page)

// Here’s a 100% deterministic alternative to `Math.random`. Google’s V8 and

Math.random = (function() {

	return function() {
		// Robert Jenkins’ 32 bit integer hash function
		seed = ((seed + 0x7ED55D16) + (seed << 12))  & 0xFFFFFFFF;

Weird Idea

UPDATE working on this here!

so… I've had this weird idea recently...

In git (and in other secure + distributed systems) you have a tree of hashes where each object is identified by it's hash and objects contain pointers to other objects. They just have the hash of other objects stored inside them.
