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.

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.

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].

Re:Sass Guidelines

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?

Re:Real-World JavaScript Anti-Patterns
on Tuesday December 30, 2014 @12:35PM (#8815613)
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.
