Nice! Do you have a quick example you could share?

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, I actually learned something here. Much better than the "you're not qualified to argue Rob Pike" approach.

That's not the case for Earth though, is it? I had thought it was the tremendous pressures that kept the internal core molten. If it was radiation wouldn't it be enough to destroy us living in such close proximity? I am barely qualified to

Rob Pike 10:31 AM - Public A few years ago I saw this page: http://www.csis.pace.edu/~bergin/patterns/ppoop.html Local discussion focused on figuring out whether this was a joke or not. For a while, we felt it had to be even though we k

I'm most of the way through reading Neil deGrasse Tyson's book "Origins", and I just finished chapter 24 last night, which deals with this exact subject. By the way, it looks like the entire book is available online; this[1] is a link to th

I think it's been said that having an affair is expressly prohibited in his line of work (given the factors laid out by others here). He broke a really big rule. When you're in such a high position, you don't get to break big rules and then

If I had a dollar for every soccer-mom in an SUV or minivan that was oblivious to the world as she cut me off, I'd be rich. Not to mention that even when my life isn't jeopardized, these same yappers are the ones most likely to hold up traf

That was an excellent read; very well-executed on the part of the author.

That's internally in jQuery though, which does you no good at all if you're invoking DOM manipulation methods yourself -- such as the example in the article, the code is calling append() inside of a loop. Each one of those calls has no know

Yeah, this reeks of the old ploy that practically every dev has been subjected to: "Hey, I'm the CEO of a company that I just made up, and I have this billion-dollar business idea -- I just need someone to code it up! We can go in 90/10 on

No story? Nice try MS. It's stories like this that prevent the rest of us from wasting money on such a POS.

"Web design" and "web application design" are virtually the same thing, so I might even drop application from it. "The Web Design Handbook" "Web Designs Handbook" "The Handbook of Web Design" Also, you might be able to get away with just gi

Cool, then it's not too late. I think with the current title you would miss much of your intended audience, while at the same time there would probably be complaints from CS-types. Good luck!

First, good job! I hope to add "authored a book" to my resume some day. Question, though: if this book is specifically geared towards web apps, why did you give it such an ambiguous name that mentions nothing at all about web apps? Is your

MS's propensity to attempt to create new buzzwords and terminology, though one of the least consequential functionally, is probably one of my biggest turn-offs with them. I'm a straight-shooter and prefer to be communicated with in the same

Of course, but at that point you likely wouldn't be using any R-leaning webservers; rather, you'd start with any old web server, and then just make shell calls to R. Or, you _could_ do the "R as a service" type thing, and have your normal [
