That's exactly what they describe as the cause of the bug. They intended for the function to be idempotent but it wasn't because of a misunderstanding with the Python library spec.

I'm actually not sure. In a side project I'm building with React, we have been using jQuery (Zepto, actually) for XHR only and it would be nice to get rid of it completely.

Yes, it's an alternative to the view portion of Ember (and Angular). If you're already using one of those then it probably doesn't make sense to use React in conjunction with them but React does play well with Backbone models, collections

React does have a little overlap with jQuery but probably not as much as it might appear. jQuery isn't designed for writing components declaratively and then checking what's changed so it wouldn't simplify the React code much at all. (Plus,

React is awesome. This weekend, I rewrote the Khan Academy exercise editor which looks like this: https://s3.amazonaws.com/uploads.hipchat.com/6574/26709/htv8... (The right side is a live preview of what's on the left. The editor is open-

I don't understand how the code snippets are at all equivalent. It looks like ResigsClass doesn't extend anything except Class itself whereas myModel extends Backbone.Model which presumably starts off more complicated.

Instapaper is notable to Marco, which is why he counts it as notable on his personal blog .

The most confusing thing to me about this page was the changing provider names. I was looking at the page and could tell that something was changing but it took me about 15 seconds to figure out what it was.

Right, but 1a is never the same as 1c.

Wow, that is incredible. About how long does it take to develop a video like that?

IIRC, Dropbox uses Crocodoc for their online PDF previews. Might get awkward. It's a shame, since Crocodoc seemed way better than anything else out there for doing HTML5 previews.

Sal still makes lots of videos! Lately he's been making a World War I series: https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/history/euro-hist We just like to put up good content from other authors too when we find it. :)

It's not really functional, but you may be interested in Rust if you haven't seen it already: http://www.rust-lang.org/ .

Not surprising, since today's update is the one that introduces retina support.

What do you find terrible about it?

by spicyj 14y ago
I don't think that's true. There were a handful of competing libraries (Prototype.js, Mootools, etc) and jQuery won out because people seemed to prefer its API.

I stand corrected -- thanks, didn't realize that you could have a pointer to a fixed-length vector.

I believe you can't do that. You can, however, make a function that only operates on 3-tuples: fn foo(bar: (int, int, int)) { ... }
