You should, it's a great place to visit. It has issues (crime, crappy transportation, etc) but as a visitor you should be able to mostly avoid those.

For the record that didn't happen in Philadelphia it happened in Camden NJ which is across the river. Clearly a lot of people in attendance were from Philly but they were also from NJ and other surrounding areas. Also it happened at an Opie

Ugh, both this and the original post disturb me greatly. I sense a good deal of hypocrisy and bad faith on both sides (though much much more so on the, and excuse the terminology but I can't think of any better, "anti Adria" side). The

What you are talking about is tangential to your point. Purely for the sake of argument let's accept your premise for the moment that men are more concerned with pragmatism than women. It does NOT logically follow that men are less influenc

Just because you can provide some flimsy after-the-fact-rationalizations* doesn't mean that it's reasonable . That's ok though, desires/hobbies/cultural practices/etc are generally not based in reason. /* For example, it's very doubtful th

Promises are not an alternative to callbacks - they are a wrapper around them that make working with them much nicer (though still a little painful as you imply). They add composability which I think has wider implications than many realize

That's essentially what they are. What generators are is making this construct a first class citizen in the language which makes it much easier to manage. Your code as is isn't bad in terms of readability/complexity...but it'd be cleaner as

Looks useful. Not having click to dismiss/a close button by default is sheer madness though. Users expect to be able to close popups and having it just sit there is frustrating. Also quite of few of the examples fail for me on Iceweasel,

I think you are not entirely understanding the concept of privilege in this context, or it's purpose. It's a common problem. You seem to regard it as some sort of insult or badge of shame, which is understandable. As I said before, privileg

I think it's important to note the concept of privilege in this sense is a bit nebulous, is distinct from the common usage, and based on context. I'm partially at fault for the confusion here for talking about "privilege" as an absolute. Pr
