I don't know, I think it's pretty straightforward. If you're going to use a piece of software that's based around map/reduce, you should understand the how and why of map/reduce first. CouchDB is actually a pretty straightforward piece of s

The more of these "software hipsters" that fail to understand CouchDB and quickly abandon it, the better. Wish I had more to say about this article, but that's about it. edit: in case it's not clear, I like couchdb a lot and I think it's ab

You can do SCP. There are also various shell scripts that actually let you pipe data over.

Typing and being able to get an object's identity. Those two things make a huge difference.

Why? The original library does not deal with GUI at all. The ChatUser object does not need to know what GUI HTML elements it's associated with. One component of a piece of software extending another should not have to tamper with the origin

Sorry I'm replying to my own comment here, I don't have to time to wait for the next exponential decay on the reply button showing up before I have to leave. I'm actually replying to axod's comment on this same level. Well here's an example

How often do you need object A->object B associations like that? Far easier to just put a pointer in all the object As to point to object Bs This gives us an equivalent mapping, but unfortunately it alters the original object by addin

I'm a karma burning mood so I'll keep going :] This is the main problem I have with it; it's a very dynamic language but in a totally dangerous way. It should hash based on an object's identity or something; as it stands, there's no way to

Read it again, the problem is that it accepts it silently and does not indicate any sort of irregular behavior in an operation that shouldn't work that way. It just does it and then fails weirdly in the future. I fully understand how equali

No I'm totally with you, AS3 and C# are way better languages than JS. The CLR (and JVM, too) are all good ideas, I think that's what JS should have been instead of a weirdly dynamic C-syntax language with some useless prototype extension bo

I didn't say it wasn't useful or popular. Just that it sucks! If it had just a few more things, it would be a lot easier to layer stuff on top of it, but we're kind of stuck with it now.

I've had a few beers, so I'm just going to come out and say it: JavaScript is a terrible language. The best thing it has going for it is that it's Turing Complete. "But wait!" you cry, "it's dynamic! It has lexical scope and lambdas! CLOSUR

Oh dude, you're the man. I didn't even know you could do comprehensions in JS.

This guy (Bret Victor) also wrote an excellent article a few years back, Alligator Eggs http://worrydream.com/AlligatorEggs/ Every now and then, probably about twice a year, I come across something so good I print it out and keep it. This

I thought this was great fun when I stumbled on it, so if any discussions pick up, hopefully you will read the linked article first and enjoy the surprise :]

All of your submissions are frame the same site, and all of the articles are 3-paragraph fluff pieces with inflammatory headlines. And ads. edit: Just read more. Some of them have some stuff, I guess. Most don't, like this one. There's no w

Dude, awesome! Now I have to watch myself, because I'll be looking for a stupid excuse to use Python for some thing in the next few weeks.

Like the RIAA and MPAA, it will take a long time to fell the textbook beast, and it will thrash about wildly and howl all the while. The Kindle DX is cool, but what's more exciting is that it seems things are finally starting to push toward

Lambdas are relegated to relative obscurity until Java makes them popular by not having them. Alright, this was surprisingly amusing. Thanks.

I want to think that it helps to have pretty, descriptive URLs, but things like YouTube make it seem like it really doesn't matter what the URL string is – as long as users can copy and paste it and link to it, anything beyond that is a was
