1000x is a bit much, but double/triple production is hugely significant when you realize that teams are constrained to only playing 11 players at once. Its not like they can make up his production with 2 average players playing togeth

Is anybody using Dart for significant production code outside of Google? (Not mocking, genuinely curious to hear whats being done with it)

The idea is "best X for most people". They will occasionally recommend some higher-market stuff (IE $1600 for their recommended standing desk) but only when they feel the low-end stuff is junk. I've found them to be fairly

Extending a browser provided prototype shouldn't be done lightly. You certainly couldn't do something like that if you were writing a library, as you might conflict with somebody elses implementation of the same add on. There&#x2

That is useful, but doesn't really seem to cover the original comment's assertion that Firebug is still "inarguably the best"

Can you explain why? I've never found a use case that it covers better than Chrome, and it seems to bloat FF a bit. But I'm very willing to believe I just don't understand what it offers.

I think the "object"-less OO tag is a bit overblown. Structs are objects. Just because Go creators didn't choose to name them that doesn't mean there's a fundamental difference between Go structs and other languag

YCM is great. Depending on the language though you may need additional plugins to get "smart" completion into Vim. For instance, tern.js does this for Javascript: [1]: http://ternjs.net/

Are you saying that its shady that it has a free trial period (with nags) or that it used to be free and then became a product that the developer charged for? And how are either of these things shady?

Our entire software industry is built on the power of abstractions. While its always great to know as much as you can about the layers you are building on, solid abstractions that allow you to get away with NOT knowing that unless you want

Is Ember Data considered stable yet? Last I'd heard it was in a beta state but was starting to be used in some production environments.

they made it clear that was "weighted demand" though, so items sold, not items provided. You'd need "Hachette sales through Amazon", a number unlikely to be available beyond Amazon/Hachette employees/exec

The problem is it WASN'T $300 cheaper. It was initially priced at iPad levels. It got heavily discounted for a while, but the initial run was positioned as an iPad competitor, not a low end disruptor. Which was crazy given the lack

URL doesn't appear to change in chrome, but the back button just cycles through the various demo screens after you've scrolled down for a while.

Curious why you think Backbone is optimized for beginners as opposed to Angular. I get that Backbone and React have fewer concepts to learn and thus are more approachable. But if you're building serious applications I'd say Back

ST isn't open sourced though, it just has a free trial that the developer has never chosen to put a limit on.

I think its important to note with the perf test and download size stuff that the frameworks that are bigger/slower to render provide more functionality and more templating options respectively. Thats not to say they're better, b

Sure. And if you display a count of the number of items in the list, you can update that with jQuery too. Are there other dependencies? Maybe if the list gets too small there's supposed to be a warning message or something shown? I

I wonder if the time period varies based on whether it is a requested user name. IE, they let you keep it until somebody else tries to sign up with that user name after at least 6 months of your inactivity.
