lmao i actually used to do that once but the overhead was too much (i save frequently), so i just bought a desktop and i x11 over ssh on the remote's sublime. SFTP was a really good extension though.


I remember taking Calculus 1, 2, 3 but only having 1 linear algebra course and some engineering math. Although I did well in them, as a developer, I wish I payed more attention to linear algebra or at least wished that my uni offered more courses related to it, like discrete math and maybe even statistics. Good thing I still have my old books!


IMDB and Boxoffice mojo data. Thinking of moving to mongodb.


Not surprised when 1% of the country holds 40% of the wealth.


The motivation people have for creating frameworks to begin with is because of bad practices by developers. By not 'making something original' you probably also avoid doing things incorrectly.


could you link a few? i'm somewhat interested :)


"..or information based site.."

The entire internet is information :P but I know what you're trying to say


Yeah, you don't need anything. You can write all your apps in vanilla JS, but if you feel like speeding up development...


and slowing down your website


well that's the trade-off, isn't it? unless my app is speed-heavy, i'm not gonna spend the extra man-hours needed (that jquery saves me) so that website runs negligibly faster.


good luck ranking in google and explaining your self to your md when your major publishing site takes 20 seconds to load I wont mention any names but I know of two cases of this.


The jQuery library is 45k, half that if gzipped. If it's taking 20 seconds to load, your birds are too slow.[1]

if it takes 20 seconds to load, you have bigger problems than jquery.


From experience where there is jquery there is normally at least a dozen other js files cut n pasted at random along with a similar number of css files with no thought to efficiency - hell most sites I se they can't even optimised the godamm images using Photoshop properly.


"JQuery is bad because some people who use it do unrelated things wrong"? Should I stop driving because some other people who use cars happen to cheat on their taxes?


jQuery is usually cached in your browser because of how common it is. From what I understand, the slowing is negligible. Part of a developer's role is to mitigate site performance with the speed of process. Inlining of critical CSS is one way to balance out initial page load, for example.


This is part myth. The chances your site has the same version of jQuery that the visitor's browser cache is are pretty low. iirc, someone once said it was less than 5%.
