It seems like an essential feature to use for software developers, since you can sidestep irrelevant posts.

Like limiting by when the page appeared.

And if you don't want to create your own you could use https://pypi.python.org/pypi/obiwan

Is Ross OK with them being this invasive? I'd like them to state upfront.

Just because you don't know the reason doesn't mean there isn't one. This is especially the case with a community-driven spec like PromiseA+.

I'd go so far as to assume most of us don't spend all day coding anything close to Fibonacci series.

If you want them to find the Menu icon then use a text label like a sane person.

A thoroughly false dichotomy.

It's not either or, it's varying degrees of both.

I think it would be harder to use from the perspective of a new developer trying to learn D3. selectAll already has way too many responsibilities in my opinion, making it totally opaque what d3(...) really does. OTOH I guess it's kind of the same with jQuery(..), since it can do both selectors as well as create new Elements.

D3 is one of those libraries that I really admire from a conceptual point of view, but boy do I wish the API was more newbie-friendly.

It's rather indicative of an API that has room for improvement when you start noticing just how many tutorials, videos and books that have to explain D3.selectAll. "Well, you see — sometimes it doesn't really select anything, instead it does this other thing"

Not to mention the source code. Very sparsely commented.

So return the URI of a list of records. Easy.

To be fair, that's kind of like saying AJAX isn't about asynchronous requests.

Fielding doesn't agree with you. But that's your interpretation, and that's fine I guess. The point with Hypermedia APIs however is the "representational state transfer" via defined relationships between the resources.

"Oh, you've.. you've redesigned? Yeah no — it's.. it's kind of dark don't you think? ... no-no, I like it honey."

"Playlist-search isn't there anymore? Oh, ok.. :|"

"Hey, some of my songs aren't playing anymore, do you know anything about that? No.. ?"

"My offline-playlist is showing me a spinner instead of playing.. sigh, no it's fine, I'll just dig up my old mp3's in the garage."

At this point I'm seriously considering a divorce.

Understand that Mozilla kind of is Google.

Where do you think Mozilla get all their money from?

Much like game studios left to their own devices by publishers make super popular game classics.

"And unlike the UK, which have repeatedly frustrated US authorities by allowing lengthy court proceedings over extraditions, Sweden has kidnapped and black bagged political asylum seekers to illegally hand them over to the CIA, knowing they'd be handed over to the regime they were seeking asylum from."

I've commented on this elsewhere in the thread. To be fair, this is one incident we're talking about. It's not like it's some common occurance, nor is it in this particular case clear-cut that they wouldn't have been extradited even if they weren't handed over to the CIA. The methods used however were of course very questionable; which is why both of the men involved have received financial reparations afterwards.

I remember using DTA for the first time back in the day and going "Oh wow, nice!". It just such a basic facility to provide. Resumable downloads should be available in all browsers.

But no, doing some user profile shit that no one wants: that's what they spend time on.

To be crass and frank; they were asylum-seekers. Total no-names in comparison to Assange. They were also not political prisoners in any capacity in Sweden (edit: in hindsight maybe you meant "political refugees"?). And it's disputable whether the course of action of extraditing them was an incorrect one, although the methods used were certainly questionable.

Also note that both of the men involved were each rewarded financial reparation afterwards, and one of them received a permanent residence permit.

At the time the case received a lot of attention, and there were multiple criminal investigations into it. It's not like no one cared when this surfaced.

Political prisoners? No, that's absolute bullshit.

Stop parroting other people without checking your facts.

The UK has extradited multiple people to the US. Your narrative is incorrect.

The GCHQ employees were speculating. As am I, of course.

Purely political. To make a statement.

I can of course not prove this; nor have anyone else been able to as far as I know.

But, that said, I think it's a non sequitur that the current situation, which at least in my mind can only be understood by either absolute incompetence from the prosecution or being under political pressure, would also lead to extradition.

I would absolutely go so far as to say that extraditing him from Sweden would severely impact the relationship between the US and Sweden.

Yes, Swedens' intelligence community collaborates with their US counterpart.

Sweden has also in the past extradited suspected terrorists. But there's a huge caveat there; they did so in /secret/ — and most importantly — the people involved were not Swedish citizens.

Understand that if Julian were to come to Sweden, and get extradited to the US it would be a HUGE deal.

The protests would be so massive it's not even funny.

The only reason why the current situation hasn't been a bigger thing in Sweden is that it clashes with the semi-radical feministic narrative driven by the media.

I guess what you're trying to say is that once you adopt Promises a large portion of your code will have to be tailored to use it.

To which I respond: .. yes, so what? It's better than callbacks. And it's better than some "magic fairydust" that doesn't make it explicit that you're doing something async.
