how so?
cleverjake··on Microsoft Edge Platform Data
I actually worked on this project. This is just an issue with how browsers give back the parsed data (which is what it is reporting, rather than the authored styles). This is covered in the FAQ - https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platfor...
cleverjake··on JS, creating a new array using the new keyword vs. literal
I work on a major browser. The key thing to keep in mind is that modern javascript engines have an optimized JIT. That means that they are able to optimize code paths for the most common paths on the web. Since its much less likely to see code in the wold that uses the "new Array" pattern, it will most likely be slower than the much (MUCH) more commonly used literal version.

also, microbenchmarks like this are silly, since you probably will never need several million new arrays to be allocated.

cleverjake··on How to Use Open Source and Shut the Fuck Up at the Same Time
having worked within the enterprise, and on open source with Eran (the author), both can be very tiring. When it comes to the enterprise, however, it was easier to fix these sort of things, or at the very least prevent them from happening again in the future. People can be repremanded, teams reorged, etc. When it comes to OS, you have the possibility of human garbage coming in and dumping all over the project with little the no recourse outside of banning (which does not stop them from creating new accounts and starting all over again).

The concept of a troll inside of the enterprise is more or less unheard of compared to what a popular piece of OSS can get

This was flagged previously as spam, since it is basically an ad for toptal.
cleverjake··on Firefox's Share Falls Under 20% in November 2015
20% of the users that browse to w3schools.com. Not the Web, or any other actually meaningful metric

That isn't the same 500 error
cleverjake··on Sweaterify
Mariko Kosaka, aka @kosamari, created this. She also regularly uses javascript to create real world knitted objects (i.e. no screen printing)

In no way is this html. its xml. they use xml for the same reason that most do - to define their own elements and behaviors thereof

cleverjake··on Show HN: Filld – Gas delivered to your car, on demand
from their FAQ...

> For vehicles that require the driver to disengage the gas cap, we ask that you leave your gas cap slightly ajar to allow us in.

> Leaving my gas cap open? Is that safe?

> Yes, open caps are not noticeable. If you are concerned, you can request our driver ping you when they are being dispatched to your vehicle and you can open it just before your car is Filld.

cleverjake··on Microsoft Edge: Building a safer browser
THey actually discussed this at the recent spartan summit. A lot of the team would like to make a version for non windows, they just want to make a great one for windows first.

beyond that, there are a ton of ways to easily test IE.

browserstack, saucelabs, free virtual machines for local testing, the azure remote tester amongst others.
