This is amazing. With some camera smoothing in post production you could have shots that were previously only possible with a helicopter shot. I can see this being just as influential if not more than the gopro.
yes, but many drones like the DJI Phantom already do that, and better than AR Drones and possibly the Bebop. They also feature GoPro Mounts but are obviously more expensive if you add the cost of the GoPro.
I disagree with the comment syntax highlighting. If I'm trying to fix a bug in some code, I'll read all the comments and then try to focus on what the code is actually doing. I don't need the comments trying to steal my focus away. Some times, I'll get vim to color comments the same as my background so they'll be invisible.
My 5 year old macbook pro handles the development version of jquery (10,309 loc) with syntax highlighting just fine. It can be (a bit) janky when scrolling through the whole thing, but it's not very noticeable. Local edits / search are as fast as vim.
In Java, you could write an unittest that inserts 10 fixed items in a hashmap, checks if the first one is "foobar", and it'd always pass, since the order is predictable - it's essentially sorted by the fixed hashfunction of those keys.
If I'm not mistaken, it was never planned for Servo to have it's own Javascript engine, it just does layout. Most benchmarks just test JS execution time, so you wouldn't even run those ones.
