I work at a "large company", and I don't agree with most of this. Your write-up is highly subjective, and fairly pessimistic. Some people hit the ground running, and teams/organiza…

Not so say Coursera doesn't have problems, but the start and end dates don't mean much as of earlier this year, when they rolled out their new platform. There's no penalty for late…

I did all my college geometry homework with it (and LaTeX) back in 2011/2012, just for kicks. Is that interesting? Probably not too interesting :-)

Right, it sounds like they use tries with 5 bit keys. It's a very neat data structure, for sure, but _tree is just at a lower level. It doesn't impose structure. Tries can be imple…

Thanks dangoor. It's a good day when someone shows me two recent projects that are very similar to my own. I started _tree a few months back because I couldn't find a project like …

Ah, right. Benchmark 1 is actually ~350ms on my machine. Thanks for the lesson in profiling asynchronous code. I revisited the React+_tree benchmark claims, too, and I think they a…

Thanks. I knew of Mori, but hadn't looked at it yet. Now that I've glanced, you could definitely implement something like _tree with Mori, but it'd be missing a few key things. Wha…

EDIT: not true. see below. ---------------------------- Good call! Benchmark 1 is about 33x faster in my browser (with the setTimeout fallback being used, I think).~ http://drfloob…

Part answer to your question, part shameless plug. Node cloning can be done fairly quickly if the bulk of the node data is shared. The `_tree` immutable tree library ( https://gith…

Well, we can check a few of those guesses pretty easily. Here is the stock React TodoMVC demo augmented with Swannodette's benchmarks: http://drfloob.github.io/todomvc/architecture…

All respect issues aside, generic names like this are a pain in the ass. "go" (google) and "react" (facebook) are similar. For example, Twitter-folk have taken to using #ReactJS to…

I get your gripe, but there's a good use case for this stuff in building dynamic web applications . Just because a technology is misused doesn't mean the technology is to blame.

Thank you, Xmonad, for not supporting chrome fullscreen in your default configuration.

Literally the worst developers I've ever known are the sort that would eat this kind of thing up. The worst developers in my opinion are those that appear highly proficient and eff…

That depends on what you want to do with your life. If you want to build and sell startups, start building and selling them. You don't have to be a great developer to do that. If y…
