Do you know that for sure? It seems like an essential feature to use for software developers, since you can sidestep irrelevant posts.

Unfortunately they lack a lot of the features that make Google useful. Like limiting by when the page appeared.

You can use it today if you want to, there is already language support for adding your own type notation. And if you don't want to create your own you could use https://pypi.python.org/pypi/obiwan

I kind of feel uncomfortable reading this. We fight for our privacy, and for others to not in secret take part of our lives — but then we gobble these kind of articles up; frothing at the mouth for every explicit detail. Is Ross OK with the

It's extra funny because without stiching together stack traces you lose the stack by using A+ Promises.

" (..) but if it's a promise there's special behavior. And for no good reason either." Just because you don't know the reason doesn't mean there isn't one. This is especially the case with a community-driv

I can recommend flicking through https://leanpub.com/javascript-allonge/read -- it's a really good book on functional programming in JS. Ends up doing Ycombinators, trampolining etc.

Further more, it's very hard to see the merit of FP strictly from Fibonacci. I'd go so far as to assume most of us don't spend all day coding anything close to Fibonacci series.

That is not a good font. Very hard to read on my screen (non-retina).

This is a dumb statement. If you want them to find the Menu icon then use a text label like a sane person.

"Should we design our tools so that you can pick them up immediately or should we design them so they give us as much power as possible?" A thoroughly false dichotomy. It's not either or, it's varying degrees of both.

Ease of use in the sense that you type less. I think it would be harder to use from the perspective of a new developer trying to learn D3. selectAll already has way too many responsibilities in my opinion, making it totally opaque what d3(.

"HTTP REST's multi-item and hierarchical item management are also very hacked-in and necessarily too chatty. You cannot return multiple Locations in a header, for example, when multiple records are created." So return the URI

"The same way AJAX is not about XML, REST for me is not about "representational state transfer", but just about using URLs to request operations from server." To be fair, that's kind of like saying AJAX isn't a

I'll chime in with that it's an interesting idea, OTOH my gut feeling is that most people won't come back to read article comments after this initial 6 hours or so — hence you might as well essentially make the user handles a

Then you misinterpreted me — I didn't intend to imply anything of the sort. That kind of statement would be absurd.

Ah, yes — because engineers left to their own devices make products that are highly functional and polished. Much like game studios left to their own devices by publishers make super popular game classics.

I appreciate your well-put-together response. "And unlike the UK, which have repeatedly frustrated US authorities by allowing lengthy court proceedings over extraditions, Sweden has kidnapped and black bagged political asylum seekers t

It's because Google was and is still an engineering organisation. For the most part they still don't understand UX or design, and when they do it's in some incredibly maligned product that no one wants.

It's honestly quite sad that it's been — what 10 years now? — and we still can't properly pause and resume a download from a browser. I remember using DTA for the first time back in the day and going "Oh wow, nice!"

I read that link before I posted, and I'm well aware of that case. To be crass and frank; they were asylum-seekers. Total no-names in comparison to Assange. They were also not political prisoners in any capacity in Sweden (edit: in hin

There was nothing in that article providing any substantial evidence that Sweden would extradite him. The GCHQ employees were speculating. As am I, of course.

What are you saying? Sweden doesn't have an independent judiciary?

Personally I think it's for the same reason Peter Sunde was treated like shit in prison, and all his applications to be moved to a prison with appropriate security (i.e. not be around murderers and rapists) was all thrown in the bin. P

I'm so fucking sick of seeing people spout this, like it's something that would 100% happen. Yes, Swedens' intelligence community collaborates with their US counterpart. Sweden has also in the past extradited suspected terror

> something which is contagious I guess what you're trying to say is that once you adopt Promises a large portion of your code will have to be tailored to use it. To which I respond: .. yes, so what? It's better than callbacks.
