assert() for Javascript
function AssertionError(msg) {
this.message = msg || "";
this.name = "AssertionError";
}
AssertionError.prototype = Error.prototype;
/* Call assert(cond, description1, ...)
An AssertionError will be thrown if the cond is false. All parameters will be logged to the console,
and be part of the error.

Native app developers: what are your reasons for preferring to develop native over Web apps?
[My initial list:]
DRM
speed for superhi-perf games
app store placement
source-code secrecy
[list compiled from other people's twitter answers; thanks all!]
pushing native notifications when they're not in the "app" (several people said this)

Who needs srcset? Who needs <picture>? Not the AppCache people we don't!

Can you help me understand the benefit of require.js?

I'm having trouble understanding the benefit of require.js. Can you help me out? I imagine other developers have a similar interest.

From Require.js - Why AMD:

The AMD format comes from wanting a module format that was better than today's "write a bunch of script tags with implicit dependencies that you have to manually order"

I don't quite understand why this methodology is so bad. The difficult part is that you have to manually order dependencies. But the benefit is that you don't have an additional layer of abstraction.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.
