For every Searle there are several hundred people who routinely spew porridge of post-structuralist terminology to address the most trivial of questions. So who better characterizes modern philosophy/criticism?

We're not talking about learning theoretical physics. We're talking about presenting arguments, usually involving relatively mundane subjects. "If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it your

The pragmatic (in the non-philosophical sense) argument is that it is less than helpful to be a Spinozist or Cartesian or whatever without knowing it, and without knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the position. Because that forces

The problem is that software usually moves from the first realm to the second realm over time.

You did not provide an example of production-ready JSON query library for feature comparison.

You're assuming the same thing you're arguing for. Namely, that JSON should be your base format. I can equally say: "I understand that everything in HTML could also be represented in another format. But if your master data is

Just remember that there is life outside of Google and by brushing it off you're stifling further web innovations. Also, I wonder how Google handles security while executing random JS code. It's one thing to hack into a single bro

90% of everything served as JSON can be served as semantic HTML and then manipulated with roughly the same amount of code required to manipulate JSON. Yes, JSON navigation is "built in". However, HTML has incredibly powerful CSS q

As usual, everyone devalues the benefits of progressive enhancement. Add-on would be a great way to get the ball rolling, as long as your website works without it too.

While it is obvious that PHP's == operator is horrible, JavaScript has its share of pretty bad issues, like "x" - 1 giving NaN. What I don't understand is why some people agree that PHP is a horrible language, while at t

If you can live without it (the "progressive" part of progressive enhancement implies that the site is still usable without the JS), then I don't think you should be using JS at all. It's a disingenuous argument introd

You're forgetting about external factors that have nothing to do with the product itself. Having better marketing team or deeper connection in the industry does not make your actual OS any better. Survival of the fittest doesn't r

Honestly, looks too complicated. I'm doing AJAX without custom JavaScript right now. The way it looks: <form action="x" replace="#y">  </form> <div id="y" />

Statistic teaches you application and helps to develop correct intuition. Can's speak for everyone, but my college algebra courses were 100% abstract stuff detached from reality. All professors had the attitude that once you learn the

Does $3000 reset every quarter or it it a one-tune limit? Is it (gross - $3000) * .05 or gross .05 when the condition is met? The phrasing is ambiguous, unless I'm missing some grammar rules. And no, I'm not asking out of pedantry

While I agree with the overall assertion that Wordpress is ridiculously bloated, slow and insecure, a lot of the specific things you mentioned have nothing to do with it and actually are pretty sensible features for websites of a certain si

And before someone says you're wrong: if it wasn't a scam and if it was a genuine effort to expand the available domain name space, those would be different domain names, rolled out in a different manner, in a different time frame

The theory is good, but the specifics of JS syntax, the type system, and the lack of support from the standard library make functional programming much less fun to use than in proper functional languages or even C#.

Most of the fiction books I've read in the last decade I've read on a screen. But I still strongly prefer print as long as it's not prohibitively expensive. There are so many advantages to printed books that people ignore it&

I am ver surprised there is still no mass outrage over Android permissions. 1. They are not properly named or explained. And no, this shouldn't be on some obscure website. This should be right there, in the menu that asks for them. 2.

NaN behavior might actually be appropriate in Haskell. I don't know enough about it to comment. But it is not helpful in JavaScript. Part of the problem is that in JS you can get NaN in a variety of different ways that do not involve

If you don't know how to count, you learn arithmetic from people who do. Nobody owes you a proof that it "objectively exists". Neither does denying it constitute a valid disproof of every theorem in existence. Such is the nat
