I’m the author. This is a bounded experiment, not a claim of universal model failure. The result here was that when a rule had to hold across multiple mutation paths, code-only prompting repeatedly fixed the named path and missed the equivalent unnamed one; spec-first runs updated all affected surfaces. The page includes limitations and linked artifacts.

IMO. The problem for Google with real names was people who didn't want to be associated with their real names and already were deeply dependent on Google for the their phone / email. I recall the transgender outing articles [1]. Regardless of whether is was user error or not, it highlights that Google had a different hill to climb than Facebook regarding real name policies.

I appreciate your call to the cops and your reasoning. I also have driven a significant number of miles for work and have seen a number of people killed in traffic accidents. This "test" was extremely irresponsible. I know I will be downvoted for saying this, but I think you made the correct decision.

Here is a pretty neat WebGL site where you can test that theory. http://david.li/flow/

This makes me wonder if there is a SEO bump/penalty associated with article dates.

Originally, yes it was an acronym, then they officially changed it to a word in 2006. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL

We, as a nation, elected "tough on crime" politicians. As you already pointed out, the private prisons lobby. They lobby the politicians we as a nation elected. We have a democracy, we vote for tough on crime politicians. As a result, we imprison lots of people.

Pretty awesome article. Wish I understood more about what impact this discovery will have on computing. Will this mean faster cameras and higher FPS when shooting video?

Great summary. I had heard this song was copyrighted, but didn't realize the history behind it. It will be interesting to see the outcome of the lawsuits challenging the copyright.

contenteditable is fun. You might also like designMode https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/de...

Why not on reddit?

I have a yubikey. I primarily use it in conjunction with Lastpass. It works well. I like it. I kept the Google authenticator app for email, but let Lastpass manage all the passwords for basic websites for me.

I believe ffn is referring to the ternary operators [1] not using identity operator, but rather the equality operator.

On the topic of functional JavaScript, a few interesting articles and books I have been reading that have helped shed more light on this subject matter. I particularly enjoyed the Functional JavaScript book [2].

fun! wrote something similar a few years ago.

These strike me as more syntax tweaks than "patterns".

Neat idea, are there any technical articles that expand more on the implementation and the tech team?

neat headline and demo, are there any docs or additional info available?

Also IBM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust

this link is non functional for me on Mac Chrome.

Aren't exterminators, aka rat-catchers, still around?

On this same subject, an excellent read is JavaScript: the Good Parts. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596517748.do

Is the primary benefit of SASS to reduce development time? I find it slows me down having to wait for it to re-parsed on every pageview during active development. Does it offer any other tangible benefits?

Anti patterns? To what specific style of development? Imperative programming? functional? Class based / MVC / object oriented? Prototypical? This article lacks clarity and draws no useful conclusions.

"so one obvious improvement would be to use selectors instead of the execrable DOM API"

Additionally, DOM API is slow. Wrapping your access to the DOM in additional layers of abstraction isn't a win or "anti pattern". It's a maintenance trade off.

Was GMail compromised by the Sony attackers? I was under the impression Sony internal emails where leaked, not GMail.

If you really didn't want people to read your emails, why not just encrypt them instead of sending in plain text over the open internet using an ad driven service?

Question: I also like a minimally structured app. I've experimented with Backbone.js. Have you tried it? Did you decide to go with msngr.js after using Backbone?

I feel like I spend a lot of time trying frameworks, only to find very little benefit. Happy to learn more, but would love to have some basis of comparison to some tech I've worked with to date.
