I agree with this - e.g not being able to bust out a dynamic programming implementation perfectly on a whiteboard doesn't make you a bad programmer - more important is to understand, "hey, looks like when I divide this problem up it has ove

I've always been uneasy about the increasing use of yield / generators in python these days, for instance, ndb in google app engine, twisted, etc. 'yield from' should make managing more complex uses of generators much easier - the question

That's too bad, I had bookmarked it as a really good explanation of the difference between ko and backbone... Sorry for the bad link. I'll see if I can find the original text tomorrow.

Thanks for taking the time to elaborate, very interesting. I wonder if the sql db vendors or open source projects will take the next step to make querying against a transaction ID possible given the underlying implementation details bring i

I had no idea one could get a consistent read view across multiple queries within a transaction using most sql databases. That does poke a hole in a major benefit that I thought was unique to datomic, great to know! However, I do think tryi

If you do add it, make it optional (maybe I don't care that much about my data in your web app). And choose duo, they rock!

It's not apples to apples at this point, but I hope i will be soon. E.g if you're on Virgin mobile, yes you're "on sprint" but you can't roam onto Verizon's network for free like you can when you're officially on sprint with a contract. So

In knockoutjs, bindings (and the ability to create custom bindings) are akin to widgets in they define exactly how view model state maps to and from the dom. I've created a number of custom bindings to bind things like a number range to a j

So true, many times when I've lost sleep over a decision before ultimately saying, "no" I've been surprised that the other party is completely OK with it - I had assumed my saying yes was waaaay more important to them than it really was.
