javascript - closure inside a for loop - callback with loop variable as parameter - Stack Overflow

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6978911/closure-inside-a-for-loop-callback-with-loop-variable-as-parameter

JavaScript really blows. Python / Ruby creates a new scope. Clang blocks let you choose. JavaScript does the least useful thing by default.

List of German scientists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HN commenter on choosing names for projects: "I always start with a code name. And for the longest time I've been using the names of foreign scientists." Also, "List of German Scientists". Wikipedia, you're all trendy *and* you ask for money all the time. I want to hate you, but you're just so sexy.

Interesting bit on Rowntree's Black Magic marketing. Also: "most [chocolate] assortments were purchased by men for women and they were influenced entirely by value rather than fancy boxes." Mmm, chocolate.
