Check out http://ask.fm This is actually a SPA and a bunch of strung together jQuery. But things subjectively feel "faster" compared to what the site was like before they upgraded to this model.

Sometimes (performant) SPAs provide a better user experience than regular views strung together with Ajax/jQuery. But otherwise, I agree. Rails and jQuery were probably the first truly "nice" APIs I've used in programmin

I wish other REPLs were like this. IPython does it too, but not sure others can.

That's true. Though I suspect in some cases, your downloads might be slower with a VPN than with throttling. I also believe that in the US, it's technically illegal for ISPs to do this. http://www.cnet.com/news&#x2

This is incredibly awful and inaccurate advice. 1. The client you use doesn't matter a bit. 2. Encrypting the traffic helps if an ISP is actively looking for torrenting, but they rarely do this. In fact, I suspect residential ISPs (Tim

It won because it has a great API and excellent documentation. jQuery is pretty much the only library or framework made 10+ years ago I can use and still feel like "this is actually well-designed". Frameworks generally obviate the

I still use jQuery very heavily in projects not already built on frameworks. It's way easier for me to add a new module or function to a monolith like that by writing a little jQuery than trying to overhaul the whole project to use Ang

What's wrong with "a new fast-growing company that primarily sells, or deals with, technology"?

Formally, no, but Guido expressed regret that Python 3 broke backwards compatibility, and made intentions of trying to minimize backwards incompatibility for Python 4.

Excuse the pedantry, but while that is very bad, the B-52 incident is probably worse. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1961_Goldsboro_B-52_crash ) A bomb with 250 times the power of the bombs dropped over Japan was very v

I agree, that looks a lot nicer. Easier on the eyes.

You're dismissing their claims without actually stating them or refuting them, as do many people. I believe their claims are false, but I don't dismiss them. Trying to wave away statements by alleging ulterior motives or lack of k

Exactly. Even if anthropogenic global warming is somehow completely not real, the expected value of acting as if it were real is much much greater. It's kind of like Pascal's wager, except with different probabilities. And million

Can something like JSX be used with this? It looks like a cool language, but I was never able to get behind HTML "DSLs". Their only advantage is ease of implementation and that you get to write in your current language, at the exp

A few specific attack failures does not necessarily mean bulk signals intelligence is useless. Frankly, both regular policework (HUMINT, usually) and SIGINT have to be employed. The question is how to limit the SIGINT so you're actuall

It's not cult-like, but it does seem arbitrary. What if Jessica gets a "bad vibe" from someone who happens to genuinely be a good, smart, honest person? All forms of radar have false positives and false negatives. Even if she

If someone were forking my project to even fix a single tiny whitespace issue or typo, I'd be happy! They generally do nothing though. It seems like 90% or more of forks result in absolutely no changes whatsoever. I kind of wish a fork

Sorry, but how do you know this isn't some kind of placebo, exactly? This reads like pseudoscience. I do believe some people are certainly better at determining honesty and character than others. But without any sort of blind testing,

Excessive data compression will also lower dynamic range, though, no?

What would be the point of this? Are you suggesting PyPy forks the Python language itself? PyPy hasn't implemented new core language features, and I don't see them doing so in the future. Python 3 is actively developed, fixing man

I've found great-tasting bread always goes stale within about 2 days. No way around it really. Any longer than that and it must have some preservatives, in which case taste and texture will suffer.

>Go is "simple", sure, but ends up being rather complicated as a result, with tons of the same code having to be written over and over for different types, and tons of typecasting between interface{} and real types, and so on.

While I think your comment is unconstructive, I do have to say that I don't quite understand why Go decided to force hard tabs. Even more confusingly to me, I really don't understand why they seem to standardize on tabs expanding

I think it's fair to call Go an anti-Perl. Perl is very liberal. There's always more than one way to do things. Go is very conservative, in comparison. I'd agree that both are contrarian, but for very different reasons.

They are a form of metaprogramming, but other than decorators, Python generally discourages other kinds of metaprogramming. Metaclasses are reserved for very specific use-cases, and monkey patching or re-opening class definitions are almost

Exactly. For security reasons, you have no other option, even if it's rude.
