Thursday morning cynicism maybe but: Your mathematician makes 6 assumptions (maybe one of them realistic) to build a model and then thinks mathematics "knows" something about the world and its ways.

I think it would help the discussion if you could define a "large app" as far as JavaScript is concerned and why you think it is a "nightmare".

But it will not write JavaScript the way you would write it - and (avoiding arguments about personality in code) that JavaScript will be way harder to follow and debug.

But JavaScript is not (another daft meme) "the assembler of the web" as it is itself interpreted (or what have you) into byte code for execution. The point is that one should limit the level of abstraction to one which sits in that comfort

The very best of luck when it comes to debugging the code when it is running in the browser. Maybe your experiences are different to mine but I avoid such abstractions wherever possible. It has become fashionable to say things like "JavaScr

I took a look but did not "get" what this is about. Is it a blog building tool or does it create something you can ship to others?

PasswordSafe is good http://pwsafe.org/ and helps me keep a different password for every site. You can also save some ancillary information as well - useful for developers with data keys for api access. Simple and quick to use which helps

But all of those cars would make the same journey without any problems - you are confusing carrying capacity with the fundamental utility of the things we call cars.

A lot of the "gas" you wont be spending money on would be because the range is pretty small. Next weekend I will be hopping into a car that has sat outside the house doing nothing for a month or so and drive it 1,000 km to the South West of

But there is a huge difference between the length of a warranty and one's reasonable expectation of a functional lifetime. My last car only came with a 4 year warranty (now expired) but I bet it is still driving just fine in another 10 year

I don't know the specifics of this model but most electric cars on the market come with a lease agreement for the batteries - you don't get to own them. I also understand that the batteries need swapping in a lot less than 10 years.

A review does not include the words "Turns are accomplished (or so I'm told) with hardly any body lean...". Not a review but a short ride in a $100,000 car - so no surprises that the reporter found some elements nice. Mind even this stage m

Does rather have the feel of an academic exercise though. Notice all possible outcomes are the result of some grand conspiracy. Probably see some write up on this experiment in community paranoia late in the year.

What nonsense. OK - the title is supposed to be link bait but... jQuery is a platform - a foundation of you like that abstracts away the complexity of a large number of common tasks. You build your design on that foundation - and that is wh

You can see the vote count for your own comments. However it is probably true to say that the standard of comment debate has improved now that scores are no longer shown - it has also (in my judgement) reduced the incidence of down-voting c

Paint.NET would be a vast help in place of MS paint. Lots of plug-ins as well.

As you will have to charge VAT to EU based users (assuming you intend to make more than the UK VAT annual floor) you will need to present different prices to different markets in any case. Given that you thus can't present a single price an

You are almost certainly correct in thinking that the password is stored as plain text - which is a massive no-no. Do they use HTTPS? The technique could be OK if this is a "second" password (you have already supplied one password and this

I had clicked the link and got called away. When I got back the page was "blocked" by some stupid message. So I closed the page - always do - never coming back.

I don't see what issue you are addressing - or seeking to get support to address. So what if there are a few feature requests mooted and (possible) bugs identified - would dealing with those issues get more and better items posted? Would th

No worries, you are new here - write a blog post on your solution and post that to HN as that is just the sort of contribution this site looks for.

Please post this sort of question to somewhere like StackOverflow http://stackoverflow.com/ HN is not that sort of Q&A resource.

Silly headline that almost completely misses the point. There will be parallel versions of jQuery - one of which will drop legacy support for outdated versions of IE in order to slim the library where such support is not required. IE9 (and

There is a saying - "No good turn goes unpunished". If you genuinely help people and they think that help has given them some leverage in life then most (not quite all) will downplay your contribution. Anything else and they are diminishing
