usablebytes··on Petition to stop extradition of UK hacker
This is sad. He may be guilty or may not be because of his act. But him being extradited to US is definitely not making sense.
usablebytes··on Why do you think people are poor?
May be because the feeling of 'being important' has died inside them.

A lot of social factors can be blamed for that situation and truly though; but the important fact is 'it starts with the very individual'. Unless that individual feels the need, the situation won't change, no matter what. So if non-poor part of the society wants to do anything about it, the first thing that should be tried is to 'awaken' the poor.

usablebytes··on PayPal.com Gets a Makeover [UI]
I don't see any change at all, whatsoever.
usablebytes··on Backbone UI
I found it a little unnecessarily complex. Also the way events are handled, tight coupling between components is unavoidable.
usablebytes··on JavaScript is not suitable for large web apps
As long as you keep using frameworks, yes!

Instead just use a base library to give you a cross-browser wrapper and few more utils, then develop the whole application core layer on top it to separate it from your sandbox. Write all processing in core JavaScript unless you are trying to access DOM where the library (usually jQuery) wrappers would come into picture. This would give you immense power to control what you develop; will be highly scalable and of course, not to forget, performance.

Don't even complain if you have server side frameworks which will generate JavaScript for you; that will never work and is only good till your project is in Mock-up (prototype) stage.

The problem seems, you don't have good UI guys.

usablebytes··on Why I Hate Test Driven Development
Sweet surprise. I jumped in to see the problems and rather found a positive side. @binspace rightly says, "Humor in programming considered hardful" :)
