I agree with the major points in the post, and even think that code format guidelines like K&R for C, PEP8 for Python, and jslint for Javascript should be freely broken by experienced programmers whenever the beauty of the code is unamb

If you really used vanilla JS you would have used the typed equality operator :P. === fo' life.

Holy crap at 25% usage in China. Seems like someone would look at that and consider America's advanced usage of the web as a potential competitive advantage, rather than rush through legislation to hobble it.

One factor was "good timing", but there is no evidence for that - I'm not sure it's even an arguable point. One factor was "the inability to be anonymous", which is also true of mailing lists, many discussion forums, and even blogs with cer

tl;dr - Google+ is uniquely suited as a discussion forum for small groups doing original computer science research because it is private, and we should expect Google+ to gain popularity among CS researchers. I disagree. I'm not sure Google+

It's only hypocritical if he also said that the editor must necessarily have the best grammar at any publication, which is of course ridiculous. Only grammar nerds think grammar = good writing.

As one of the unfortunate who has had to attempt to hack at mediawiki... I hope some of that cash goes towards improving their code base. It's gotta be costing them in maintenance (to say nothing of the ability to add new features).

I'd really like to point fingers and scold, but other than the octal/decimal bug I feel like I've been in enough product-manager-screaming-for-a-fix positions to understand how code like that can make it into a production environment. Reall
