Cconcurrent update of the same object is actually an extremely common real-life use case. You need to handle the arising conflicts anyway, so you might as well get the benefits of eventual consistency. If you don't have concurrent upda

Policies scale because resources scale linearly to the size of the population.

I think it's called "working hard getting others to work hard for you." If it was not hard work to get others work hard for you, it would be more prevalent.

There's "usage tax" which is something like $200 - $400 per year. If the car is a diesel, it's significantly higher (but diesel is taxed at a lower rate). Diesel cars are cheaper only if you drive a certain amount of kil

Wow, car costs per mile are extremely cheap in the United State, if $.30-.40/mile is typical. The government estimate in Finland is about $.90/mile, and almost nobody has it that cheap. If I recall correctly, I calculated my own c

What I mean is that YUI is a large, monolithic framework, which can be replaced with a number of smaller libraries/frameworks. This is modularization, which reduces the risk of a large monolithic framework losing maintenance support.

Why not use something like Numeric.js and use regular arrays? Seems like a lot of trouble to do simple vector math, and this library is specialized only to vectors. To mix vectors and matrices, you need to convert these back to arrays anywa

One way to reduce this risk is modularization. If development stops for a single module, it can be replaced quite painlessly compared to rewriting everything because one relied on a monolithic framework.

Your post doesn't make much sense. You could use a new packagin system, a new *SQL database, SASS/LESS, a new test framework, a new built tool etc. even without letting go of YUI. If you never want to learn anything new, then be m

The value comes from the new "frameworks" being better than legacy. If YUI actually was better than the newer solutions, Yahoo! probably wouldn't claim that it's worse.
