I know horizontal space is tight, but it'd be nice if you could have 2 at-least-80-character-wide views (rather than hard-wrapping them at whatever they are now) when you have a wider screen. Looks good though.

It's using function annotations as a way to describe which URL to route to. Function annotations aren't used by anything in Python3 by default, so it's one possible way to do that.

Disagree on "REST syntax". Python could do just as well: Sinatra: get '/hi' do "Hello World!" end Python 2: @get('/hi') def hello(): return "Hello World" Python 3: def hello() -> "/hi": return "Hello Wo

Even a technophile like me wants to just sit back and be a "regular person" once in a while; to sit back with a book, do some reading on the web, or watch a movie on the couch. The iPad doesn't have to have shell access to be an incredibly

As unfortunate as the situation may be, wiretapping/spying/searching will probably always happen at high levels of government regardless of the law. I don't know of any way to stop it, or that it's even possible to see if it would subsequen

Living in Silicon Valley can be advantageous. Never mistake advantage for necessity. Startups thrive and wither in the Valley, just as they do anywhere else. Silicon Valley can be a useful card in your hand, but the flop is more important.

"var self = this" provides a workaround that isn't too verbose, so maybe it diminished the need for "bind" enough to put it off. FWIW, I do use a $.bind method that I got from somewhere in my own jQuery code.

I use Skype to communicate with a lot of people much in the same way Max says he uses Wave; we have several group chats open. Wave sounds like it would be a good fit and more flexible than Skype, perhaps.
