It won't solve the problem. The default response will be to simply refuse to run at all. And, for an app like facebook, which has the upper hand, it is not a big deal that the user doesn't like it.

I agree, it is normal to mutate a variable within the loop. I find code more comfortable to maintain when the side effects are reduced. Add the pipeline variable to the .reduce: var pipeline = $.Deferred().resolve(); $('[id^=row]').to

The assignment in the loop breaks the readability for me: In the reduce case, the deferred is in the scope of the function as a named argument; which is the main advantage of using deferred in this case. In the .each loop, deferred is a var

I don't care if I get downvotes for saying this, but I think this story is full of crap. Such a small sample size could only be considered acceptable if there was overwhelming consistence. Also, the USPS system is not a black box, it is wel

Startup success and lottery wins are very different things. You don't get better at lottery as you buy more tickets over the years; but you get better at your trade as you do it more and more, even if you fail at each previous attempt to st

After some reading, it seems animate attaches a deferred on the element, so this works: $('[id^=row]').toArray().reduce(function(l,r){ return l.pipe(function(){ return $(r).animate({opacity:opacity}, 100); }); }, $.Deferred().re

Businesses are more like software than furniture are. The Japanese hotel, Hoshi Ryokan, that is still run by the same family over 1300 years must have some really good "software".

I believe with all my heart that evangelist goblins with fear of god are interfering with the sorting process to delay those evil packages. Sure, it is possible that a foreign vendor might forget to put the full zip code on the address labe

It is far too subtle for me. It lacks the call for curiosity, because the simplicity is just too well executed. Could have been made a tad more obvious, or more puzzling, at the cost of losing some of the simplicity.

To give you a sense of how important the notes were for me: I kept all the literature search for my thesis research, and my reviews in notes. Thankfully, they let me download the stuff I had in there. But, the data was useless in itself.

Does anybody remember Google Notebook? It did almost exactly what Keep does. I used notes extensively, and one day... You know the drill. Good luck to those who will jump on Keep. After notebook, I switched to MacJournal, it works great for

This is bs. I consider myself far more computer literate than the masses. Yet, I wasn't aware that the iOS safari had the capability of DNT. I accidentally found out about it while playing with the settings on my development device. DNT is

If ethically raised meat did not have a strict shelf life, could cross many borders, and fundamentally different regulatory areas, could be displayed as a status symbol to reinforce the perceived value of all meat, I would say the same thin

Don't refrain from buying because diamonds are hard to extract, and people have to work hard for it. But, because the whole trade is dirty, and you don't want to take part in it. All diamonds are dirty because of the conflict diamonds, ther

Awesome project! IFTTT should really be part of every service that has a little bit of interactivity, even at a corner. Too bad I don't know ruby. Please give us updates on your experience as you use it as well.

Sounds like a cheap glorification. I bet the bulk of the design work was done after the project was approved. Why do people need to make up such stories that simplifies and undermines the long and iterative process it takes to produce large

Don't ignore the extremes. Before coming to conclusions with statements like "Romans didn't know X", "Romans couldn't do Y", reflect on what you mean: you are referring to the general and ignoring the rare extremes. I bet you could find a f

You got our data without telling us that we won't get to see the results (which are shown at the end in almost all the polls posted here), you need to do this.

WTF! We don't get to see the results after filling in? This is not cool. You get my info, you show me the stats. It is just common courtesy.

Even though the lack of a garbage collector is a factor, I doubt that it is the biggest reason. I was bit quite nastily by the lack of garbage collection in Perl just a couple of months into using it. However, perl proved itself as an inval

Dude, people are not judging you. And, the world is not turning around you either. So, relax a little bit. If this is how you are going to cope with life, it is fine. But, you might appear to react to something that doesn't exist. Just sayi

Fantastic idea! Broadcast TV distorts our model of the world by showing us only the extremes. Vinepeek puts normality in its proper place.
