The document is now in the data field of the returned JSON. It's just an extra header/footer, similar to having meta http-equiv tags. Because it helps limited HTTP clients like JSONP, many web APIs already use this form, but they all use di

When I read that comment I decided it was time to uninstall Adobe Reader and found it was taking up 145MB of disk space. Many thoughts went through my mind. Maybe there was whole virtual civilization in there and I just wiped it out. Maybe

To me, singularity is hypothetical nonsense that shows a clear misunderstanding of engineering problems. Computer systems have not become much more sophisticated in the past 40 years, we have just made them bigger. We keep running into the
