Some interesting things to dig into here. I love the Fennel REPL inside Neovim. ",ee" is mildy life changing, and Fennel is such a cosy little language

In that case it's just another symptom of the thing that is naturally selecting them

Auto!Automatic!!’s first album[1] has different track titles on streaming services [2] likely because of a refusal to account for these edge cases

We do a similar thing at Last.fm. We bundle our most commonly used modules in a single file. The rest all pulled in at runtime.

"The domain "boxsocial.fm" doesn't appear registered with GoDaddy."

Another one to test against as I've not moved it yet.

I'd be interested to know how common credit scoring applicants is. I understand why they'd be necessary for financial institutions but as a general method of filtering candidates it seems rather intrusive.

Thanks for this info. I wasn't aware of potential carrier-specific issues so I'll make sure we take this in to account while testing. Have you raised this with the networks? I guess there's a chance that it could also affect non-jqm powered code.

Was this a straight HTML list or were you using a jQueryMobile listview to pretty it up? When we've used templates to render a list (using either underscore or ejs) it was taking 10-20ms to generate the initial HTML but around 10-15x as long to call listview on it.

I got the same. Just click the 'sign in' link at the top, then 'Sign in with Github' and it should take you to your account.

To some extent. It copies a user's scrobbles/now playing info to one or more other users' profiles. So if a bunch of you are in the same room listening to music you can all scrobble at the same time.

That said, it was mainly written to get to grips with node. As well as to scratch a personal itch, obviously.

I'm using node.js for a personal project: http://boxsocial.fm

The site reads and writes to last.fm in the background and pushes updates to client's browsers while doing so.

I'm sure it would have been possible to write it using some other technology but node.js just made it so easy. Also, writing the entirety of the app in just one language was an additional bonus.

I'm excited about building something bigger with it soon.

I can't seem to get this through npm. Has it been published?

Agreed. Also, audio can be quite intrusive meaning that you then have to find an appropriate time to view them.
