I think that's an inaccurate generalization. I'm pretty sure the rich mainland Chinese gobbling up single family homes on the US west coast don't view their purchases as substandard "wooden huts"...

I just thought I'd provide a follow-up on this in case someone else with a Dell Studio 540 or Intel G45 chipset tries to upgrade to 16GB memory. It works! I ordered 4 x 4GB 2Rx8 PC2-6400U DDR2-800Mhz 240PIN UDIMM from a business on eBa

youmightnotneedjquery.com is often held up as an example of why jQuery is obsolete, but if you look at the examples a bit more closely, you'll notice problems. I spent all of five minutes glancing through the example list and noticed t

jQuery and SPAs don't have to be mutually exclusive. At my work, we've been building SPAs with jQuery long before Angular or React even existed. More recently, we've built our own JavaScript SPA framework whose components ca

Wow, I didn't know this was possible... My every day workstation is a Dell Studio 540 from 2009 that I've upgraded to the max in every possible way but without changing the motherboard and case. The only upgrade I haven't pur

I agree with hluska. I also found numbsafari's comment unnecessarily rude and flippant. I'm sure Bainbridge Health would not appreciate being represented like that in a public forum.

I agree. I glanced through the list and noticed a couple problems myself too. Their `replaceWith` doesn't provide the functionality that jQuery offers -- it doesn't take into account event handlers bound to DOM elements. Also, the

Fun video, but at least towards the end the population numbers don't seem terribly accurate. The video counts the population for the greater metro area of a given city (e.g., 38 mil for Tokyo), but there's no mention of Seoul. The

Your understanding of the tragedy of the commons is not accurate. Cases of pollution in public waters are typically prime examples of tragedies of the commons. Just because it's a "negative economic externality" does not mean

That's not true. With the 2011 FTC consent agreement, there is plenty that Facebook can do with customer data that will land them on the wrong side of the law. Investigating and preventing unfair or deceptive acts/practices affect

I was just about to comment the same thing. We use PgBouncer for some of our production databases and we make heavy use of prepared statements, stored procedures, etc.

It's a spam tool, plain and simple. The relevancy of that spam is entirely besides the point. Once this app becomes large enough to get on Google's radar it'll likely be shut down. The makers of spam tools often make lots of

@omeid2 I think you've distilled the issue very well -- it's all about "what is simpler code?". I hadn't thought of the issue in terms of the three C's you've mentioned, but the criteria also seems accurat

I completely agree. For code that is unavoidably complex, I love this style too. I am all for code that is concise and whose syntax/naming is expressive, but sometimes comments are necessary to clearly spell out the logic or business u

Generally speaking, older vehicles are much easier to steal than newer vehicles. I have a friend with an 1980s Toyota truck who clubs it wherever he goes, not because it's a nice truck, not because he can't afford to lose it, but

I've worked with mostly smaller to mid-size companies and they often connect the dedicated BMC ethernet port to a network that is firewalled but still has egress connectivity. That's why I disagree with the author's assertion

Nope, I'm talking about the dedicated ethernet port used for BMC access on a server. You would be surprised how often those BMC ethernet ports are connected to networks that are behind firewalls, but still have egress connectivity to t
