This is pretty cool. I usually had to add a little more context to get the correct result though. It would be nice to see the top ten results, maybe with a relevance score.

It would also be great if I could pipe in the search and bypass confirmation, e.g:

> echo hide your love away | instantmusic -f

I found this odd as well, especially given how competing services (e.g. SoftLayer) so often cite the performance of dedicated servers as their competitive advantage over AWS.

I'm actually pretty amazed at the diversity, and how few of these frameworks I'm familiar with.

> It is not expected that the performance of compiled applications will ever rival 'v8'. JavaScript is an awful language for static compilation - it almost seems designed to foil any attempts at optimization, and so a JIT will always have a significant performance advantage.

For the compiler un-initiated such as myself, is there a simplified explanation for why static compilation is inferior to JIT for languages like javascript?

Just to clarify: I'm the OP, not the Author.

This. The Author pulled a serious coup here, translating an aborted business into a personal profile piece in a national paper.

The article is interesting and relevant, even if its premise is flawed. It certainly merits discussion, critical as it may be.

Title is from the article; I am not the author.

Nice work. I've built roughly half of this before, but your API is cleaner and the docs really tie it together.

These are all beautiful illustrations, but they don't feel iconic to me. Granted, there is a spectrum when it comes to detail, but isn't the purpose of an icon to distill an idea to its visual essence?

There was a time when you could say the same about street view. Now they're working on the bottom of the ocean.
