Considering that html emails simply are not going away, no matter how much one hates them, isn't the best course of action for us developers to mitigate, as best as possible, the risks presented? Yes, text-only emails make things much

Let me rephrase. HTML email is often required due to the requirements of the marketing department at many companies. As for "look better" - yes, it is subjective. However, given that html email capabilities are a super set of text

Additionally, just knowing that code reviews are going to happen often results in developers putting in more effort to submit quality code.

It all depends on how the phone is used. In my case, with a Nexus 4, the battery life is an issue. When traveling, I will often take multiple photospheres (computationally expensive). I will use it to do research on where I am visiting (lot

Some of those questions are fine. Some of those questions I hope have some surrounding context. And some of them are pretty ridiculous. I went in expecting (hoping) to see some above grade level questions that simply let the really good stu

Oops, yes. I did mix up dict vs the literal version in the comparison. Thank you for the correction. And yes, I noticed that you weren't the one that noticed the original possible performance issue. What I do appreciate is that you act

Yes, but! At 103ns per iteration, you can do 9.7 million iterations per second. At 298ns per iteration, you can do 3.4 million iterations per second. Let's look at the wsgi numbers for json serialization: wsgi-nginx-uWSGI: 109,882

Indeed. I work with RAW photographs fairly often, and simply exporting an album with a few hundred RAW files to JPEG takes a surprising amount of time with fast, modern hardware.

Indeed. On the plus side, with this comment chain, I doubt that anybody else will miss the subtlety.

I did read that. And that is why I added the "in jest" part, followed by my serious comment. However, rereading my comment, I should have said "in jest" instead of "mostly in jest."

An interesting approach, although one line of javascript will solve all samples beyond the first one (didn't bother writing extra code to handle your demo case): $('.trueletterimage').each(function () {$('#userdata'

And same here. The general git-flow workflow has worked extremely well for us and has cut down on almost all version control issues we previously had.

That isn't entirely true. The audio chat won't work in IE10, and IE10 support isn't a priority, but most everything else will probably work: https://togetherjs.com/docs/#browser-support Edit: Ok, looking

I honestly thought this was a troll comment intended to show how ridiculous this sort of thing would be if region locking applied to printers. I was not pleased to find out that this is, actually, a thing.

You are comparing size with time, which is an invalid comparison without further constraints (e.g. a visual response constrained to emanating out from the touch of a finger). Thus, you are making the assumption that all visual responses to

It is possible the author was using the best times for each device for the calculation, which does approximately equal 2.5x. That said, I agree with your point.
