Node streams - a fractal of weird design

and a potential refactor that could fix that

This is a list of issues and confusions I've encountered with node streams, and things I wish were designed and implemented differently. If promise-streams is ever going to change to a design that doesn't build on top of node streams, this would be a list of mistakes to avoid

1. enc parameter - Why is encoding always passed together with the data? It should be a separate concern. It doesn't even make sense in objectMode
2. eventemitter base - This encourages a lot of random events to be "attached" by other authors which doesn't work. Best to have an uniform (typed) interface so that everyone knows what to expect.
3. relying on nextTick etc for execution order - This is very unreliable and causes all sorts of unpredictable rules for implementers which are not documented anywhere. When you attach listeners determines what will happen.
4. no error propagation - we need the

Descartes, Berkeley and Functional Reactive Programming

By @dmvaldman

Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) is generating buzz as an alternative to Object Oriented Programming (OOP) for certain use cases. However, an internet search quickly leads a curious and optimistic reader into the rabbit-hole of monads, functors, and other technical jargon. I’ve since emerged from this dark and lonely place with the realization that these words are mere implementation details, and that the core concepts are far more universal. In fact, the groundwork was laid down many centuries before the first computer, and has more to do with interpretations of reality, than structuring programs. Allow me to explain.

There’s an old thought experiment that goes like this:

quephird

(ns fun-with-quil.wavey-thingy
  (:use quil.core))

(def screen-w 1024)
(def screen-h screen-w)

(defn make-wave-fn []
  "[x1 y1] specifies the epicenter of the waves
   [x2 y2] specifies an anti-epicenter of sorts
   l controls the length between waves

tmpvar

var Polygon = require('polygon');
var fc = require('fc');
var Vec2 = require('vec2');
var ndarray = require('ndarray');
var sn = require('surface-nets');
var cwise = require('cwise');
var fill = require('ndarray-fill');


var poly = new Polygon([

The new WOFF 2.0 Web Font compression format offers a 30% average gain over WOFF 1.0 (up to 50%+ in some cases). WOFF 2.0 is available since Chrome 36 and Opera 23.

Budi's CS:GO Config

This is my constantly updated CS:GO autoexec config. Changelogs can be found under revisions here

Put autoexec.cfg in ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg or take what you want from it and add to your autoexec config!

After the Wild West Simulator 2015 update, video.txt needs to be put in ...\Steam\userdata\<Steam3 ID>\730\local\cfg
