Except if you only need the first 50k to render the page, and can wait for 50k of Javascript to come later, your page is going to display a lot faster. Standard technique. > Loading 100k from one source is faster than the same aggregate

What original title? The title was "Blackbox is a new shipping company from the creators of Cards Against Humanity". So someone breaks the rules to provide a less descriptive title. Must be the silly season on HN.

Sounds like advice I would give a Python programmer who is considering a micro/mini-framework instead of Django.

I guess this must have been the scenario. Perl also defaults to re.search but does not exhibit the pathological case, maybe because it knows it can't find a $ in a block of \s.

You make a valid point. Either their analysis is dodgy, or the regex engine is very, very poor.

I knew someone who just retired from being a mainframe programmer (not just COBOL). She reckons she could have kept working for another 20 years if she wanted.
