That's not the point of this. This is not about disabling JS as a user of websites. Heydon is a developer, and an influencer of developers. He's saying: web development is now abso…

You clearly didn't read anything I said, so whatever.

This is all, totally, flagrantly wrong. It's all to be provocative. Firstly, Chicago is one of the top economic cities in the world. Pensions are a big problem, but they are not go…

The co-sleeping seems to stem from all the SIDS research / literature which when you go and read seems especially questionable. The topic of SIDS was hit so hard by our hospital an…

Yes, and I think that's the smartness of this is they clearly came from a stance of Deprecation and realized they could make it more general. Good work, imo.

The most compelling use-case for me is the web-api deprecation. It very clearly tells you when a service will no longer be available. Currently there are no standard mechanisms for…

The video specifically said it was not due to tariffs, which are minimal to non-existent.

Wanna build it with me?

You don't have to "dick around" with CSS isolation problems with web-components, it just works. React is where you are dicking around.

Or use Polymer/LitElement, where it's just all in one file... I swear people are just reinventing react methods to eventually get to where Web Components have been for the past 4 y…

Oh man. This is my idea of nirvana. Basically done with any other data-store except maybe for full-text search.

It would be great if they explained that anywhere in their documentation.

"Keep README.md updated as project evolves" Sure man.

Should say that it compared Go vs. Tornado. His only real problem with Python was concurrency which could be handled much better with Eventlet or Gevent. This will also drastically…

Yes, but any given function is usually extremely easy to understand, because it's only, say one level of abstraction, then a macro is a few levels higher than that. And as you go u…

> But Python has the edge (with a large number of students) when the main goal is communication, not programming per se. Communication is increasingly the more important part of pr…

The Python philosophy is that macros do more harm than good, making it harder for someone to read/understand your code in the long term. These and other "constraints" make the code…

Didn't MSBNC give you some money to decorate your office? Tell them you are getting hammered by the press and need a trip to IKEA or something.

Yeah, I don't really get it. Going through their code, docs, it doesn't seem to really offer anything new. I commend them for the open source, but in the end: meh.

And sometimes mutually exclusive.

"Proactive laziness" is slightly better, I think.

jQuery is light, but it has a trove of plugins that will help you with more complex tasks. The core is purposefully limited in scope, not trying to do everything for you; it only p…
