yeswecan··on Torvalds: More bitwise tricks
Or he naively thought the signal to noise ratio would be higher.
yeswecan··on Tower.js - JavaScript Framework for Node.js modeled after Ruby on Rails
When you have programmers who are more proficient in writing JavaScript than Ruby or PHP. Better a PHP expert using PHP than a cowboy coder using Node just because it is the new hotness.
yeswecan··on Tower.js - JavaScript Framework for Node.js modeled after Ruby on Rails
That's a terrible argument. I still write and read Python with libraries that use C (for example: the entire standard library). If you want an example that fits the point you are trying to make, consider Lua/C, where you _can_ mix the two easily.

The point is still flawed, though - CoffeeScript is not JavaScript, and I have no interest in learning it (I'd rather spend the time learning to write better JS myself). I, and everyone else with my mindset, has their time wasted by this mislabelling; we would not have clicked through if the title said CoffeeScript.

yeswecan··on Never Make Counter-Offers
In word, yes. You either work for a company that believes in incentivising employees to stay, or you leave.
yeswecan··on Beginners Guide to HTML/CSS
That means all links under list items in the unordered list with the id "social", including non direct children (e.g. an <a> inside an <em> inside a <p> as well as just an <a> inside an <li>).
yeswecan··on Tesla Model S Options and Pricing
One can imagine the hypothetical scenario where a large filling station network would offer a battery subscription service of sorts, whereby you can stop at a station, swap in a charged battery, and drive off.
yeswecan··on Twitter's Bootstrap 2 ready for testing and feedback
If you are using <ul> and <li> elements for your links it's one fewer tag in your HTML:

    <ul class="nav">
        <li></li>
    </ul>
vs

    <nav>
        <ul>
            <li></li>
        </ul>
    </nav>

The only 'danger' is that if someone is specifically looking at your page specifically for <nav> tags to locate your navigation they won't find it.
yeswecan··on Hacker says to release full Norton Antivirus code on Tuesday
It's not really grammatically sound, but rather a result of shortening the phrase/sentence while still making sense.
yeswecan··on The New Web Typography
The only way to guarantee it is to have an HTML tag to identify the fraction - <frac>11/63</frac> or similar.
yeswecan··on Mercurial vs Git; it’s all in the branches
Let us not forget that GitHub is a major reason why people choose Git. If Bitbucket (or a hypothetical HgHub) had taken the larger market share first, we'd likely see more projects using Hg than Git.
yeswecan··on Bullshit
Perhaps if you conflate "users want to associate themselves, from time to time, with brands" and "users want to interact with brands".
yeswecan··on Killing the Internet to save Hollywood
I would hardly call Jennifer's Body a dumb movie.
yeswecan··on Namecheap.com: We say no to SOPA
I don't know about the transfer cost, but I know they do have free DNS as I use it myself.
