I don't think Array.prototype.forEach.call(el.querySelectorAll(selector)) is complex enough to pull in a new library.

These two new functions you mentioned are both in the article linked to above. 'el.children' and 'el.querySelectorAll(selector)' are given as alternates. It is true they aren't 100% the same but JQuery isn't di

I think the point is that "$.contains(el, child)" is not a useful abstraction of "el.contains(child)".

Isn't the point here that JQuery is reinventing a lot of core JavaScript stuff? It isn't reinvention if it is already there. JQuery has down sides other than size. There is also maintenance, dependency and backwards compatibility

Early in the history of China, they didn't know they existed. It must have been confusing for them.

I think it is strange how the author of a cool tool like this seems to feel the need to justify their tool's existence in a world where new web-framework X is announced every day.

I agree that the public obsession with this idea is strange. There is probably still room for debate and further research but public credulity for this idea far outreaches any possible reality. If you have studied linguistics much at all, y

Not knowing what Quartz Composer was, I was really hoping for an origami design application. It would have been a lot cooler.

It looks like LaTeX mechanisms for embedding metadata are improving. XMP looks like a reasonable way to do what needs to be done. http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hyperxm...

Well, it must be different. The two companies compete directly on a number of products and Mozilla's decisions on whether to adopt things like NaCl, for instance, can't be too pleasing to Google. Yet, I think you'd be right t

That is a matter of opinion. I think the lack of source code is a problem of incredible complexity, in that overcoming that hurdle would require one to somehow force MS to fix something. I think LaTeX starts marginally easy, gets complex an

I think the author's point about how computers used to come with programming manuals is a good one. The spirit is different. The computer environments now are, in my opinion, better for learning programming. More languages are installe

I think the title presages the coming of the apocalypse. The two ok-ish parts of the web replaced by the horrible one that we are all stuck with. Next step, replace all three with 666 and call it quits.
