I wonder if he's physically unable to write without being condescending. It really hurts the message.

I get where you're coming from but the guy above was straight up declaring Trello's death. Even with skepticism you can agree it's being too pessimistic too early.

And if it goes down a different path, there will be a hole in the market waiting for the next Trello and that's good too.

Wanna bet the author will be calling it a "social experiment"?

lol, someone's gonna be disappointed trying fpp for the first time

We have a few of these here in Brazil (i.e. http://www.99taxis.com/). The apps work just fine, it's the taxis that lack quality in their service. Cars are usually beaten down, dirty. Drivers are impolite, almost never use Waze or some other GPS app and the fare at night rivals Uber's.

There has been some drama regarding Uber v. Taxi around here as well (São Paulo, Brazil). One thing I know for sure is that as long as Uber's around I'll never call a taxi again.

Yeah, seems like a sensationalist title tbh. The project README doesn't giving any info to support that claim as well.

It doesn't make any sense.

First thing that crossed my mind when I clicked the link.

But I guess there's not much you can do to emulate Kanban's workflow.

Creation of an empty statement and dissemination of "superstitious programming", as I like to call it.

The article isn't clear on the encryption methods used on the data transferred between the voting machine and the system that actually account votes. But it seems to me that Brazil's government is being anything but incompetent in the data security subject.

Can't wait to read the book that'll come out of the seminar.

The author states that "we made the fastest CPUs that physics allows," linking to an article that doesn't exactly say that.

Assuming that he's merely talking about CPU frequency, does that hold? And if so, why?

What?

Are you assuming that Google Chrome packs Trident, Gecko and other engines along with Webkit?

Indeed, but the point being that Brazil is at best OK at legislating still holds. A complete rewrite is long due.

It changes too often because the original text is way outdated, so legislators keep patching it up since that's a lot easier than rewriting it from ground up.

I'm not sure if our government would come up with a compelling argument to get money from other countries. We have a history of succumbing to foreign financial pressure too easily (reflex from our weak economy), and our government does almost everything to keep a good relation with about every country out there.

We're the good neighbor that gets abused now and then for being too soft.

Great comment, I share a lot from your viewpoint.

The thing that bothers me most, though, is how bad Brazil's government is at enforcing its law. We're kind of OK at legislating (even though our constitution remain mostly unchanged since '88), but suck at enforcing. That's one reason why there's still a lot of corruption going on in higher spheres.

Great video, I'm already sold. Software + music is one of my passions, I bet it's yours too, so I'm hoping you guys get traction with this app :)

It doesn't matter. Both snippets do the exact same thing, except the first has two attributions, the second just one.

Without getting into code changes, I'm glad to see they abandoned that childish theme the whole project had.

Gratz on the release

Same here, but I wouldn't expect much from a jQuery plugin that implements "infinite scroll". Like I need stuff to start loading by itself whenever I reach the bottom of the page.

Also, looking at their code, the first thing I laid eyes on was this statement:

  var infinity = window.infinity = {};

Which, in this context, would be the exact same as

  var infinity = {};

Let me help you out then.

I still think there's too much attention being given to this trial by tech people. Much more than it deserves.

That's a very loose interpretation of what the author meant, IMO. Actually, pragmatism in this industry leads to a series of different interpretations.

Avoiding dogma is a no-brainer, there's absolutely no advantage on being dogmatic in software development. But the pragmatism part, I think it's OK as long as being pragmatic doesn't mean carelessly building stuff without putting much thinking beforehand, in whichever methodology you chose to follow.

I do believe in testing, not just software testing, but testing in general. Let's try and test the better set of methodologies and techniques for our scenario, mashup stuff together and come up with our very own "dogma".

Agreed. Qt Designer used to look pretty much the same as well.

Actually, I don't know why this court nonsense is still making the news.

That's obviously not what I have said.

That's exactly what I was going to say.

The author says this about parameter skipping:

   Personally I’m not particular fond of this proposal. 
   In my eyes code that needs this feature is just badly
   designed. Functions shouldn’t have 12 optional parameters.

I'm not fond of this proposal either, for it doesn't solve a problem named parameters do, which is that sometimes function parameters don't have a logical order, and cramming them into an array feel sloppy as hell.

Yes, that's what I was trying to say.

I'm not attacking anyone (at least not on purpose), I'm just trying to make a point here.

Resig's actions towards clj effectively turned his whole userbase against everyone and everything that was written in that newsgroup. Thousands of unexperienced js developers shunning great advice just because it came from someone Resig had a beef.

I do believe that it had a negative effect on the javascript industry for a few years.

So you do agree that browser sniffing is a short-sighted method to test for browser capabities and that clj has been preaching on it since 07?

I'm not judging or anything, but sticking around on clj and trying to argument could have been very beneficial for both jQuery anc clj itself. There are ways of ignoring people in usenet, you know.

Also, Juriy, whom you cite in the book's preface, was a regular there long before his website really took off. That means you didn't dislike every member ;)

Well, you did respond to the code critiques after all, so that makes it about jQuery's source.

But I do agree that your opinion was biased by the behavior of the people participating that discussion (if that's what you meant). Nonetheless, IMO, a community leader should be able to deal with criticism, and I don't recall reading personal attacks.

As of your link, I was being sarcastic.

Also, here's Resig's take on feature detection circa '07:

"Yawwwwnnnnn.... this is, quite possibly, the most inane set of ramblings set up by someone who has obviously never created a JavaScript library of any kind, nor has used JavaScript code in any sort of production environment."

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.lang.javascript/QVlJ0bz...

    >> Do you have any idea how many agents jQuery will identify as IE?
    >The ones we care about?

I wonder why jQuery eventually turned to feature testing...

Exactly. Eventually everyone turned to feature testing and it became common sense in clj.

comp.lang.javascript's FAQ on browser-sniffing: http://jibbering.com/faq/notes/detect-browser/

That's exactly their point. They claim most measurement tools will give false results if your web server outputs the headers before processing the actual request data.
