The way to scale Agile is by dividing enormous, monolithic teams into more smaller, streamlined teams. Methodology aside, the sub-division of laber alone would make each team member more functional.
I agree in the main that DOM manipulation is the root of all JS sin, but the list you provide is not my experience as all. Like all code, well-written JS+jQuery ought to be self-documenting. Again: caveat is well-written. The learning curve is no steeper than figuring out JS's own native esotericisms. Yes, jQuery is slow as fuck. $('#something') is something like thirty times slower than document.getElementByID(), BUT when you are in the realm of milliseconds I will trade those extra keystrokes because I'm on a deadline, and the user will not notice 99 times out of a hundred. Almost every time I've had to diagnose slow jQuery, the author was doing something bad, like reselecting the same DOM elements in tight loops.
IOW, there has to be a balance between performance and ease of development, and jQuery is my optimal point. Sometimes it's the wrong fit: when speed is the overriding factor above all others, it's not appropriate. But to extrapolate that into a never, never, never rule smacks me as throwing the baby out with the bath water. The problems with it are usually academic, not practical.
I will admit: I looked at the page and was very interested and got super excited until I looked at the code examples harder. Well played, internet... well played.
TFS and TFA refutes the idea that we are, in fact, exporting this kind of waste in volume. I don't live in a huge metropolitan area, and even *my* garbage goes through single-stream recycling.
Preach it, brother. Looking at ScentCone's posting history, I can see that his posts are cunningly crafted to look like an average Slashdot poster, thus proving his true identity as a CIA/Halliburton/Illuminati/Bilderburger/Opus Dei/Sleestak agent.
Look out for the black helicopters. They come for you as we speak. I will soon communicate with you further through the resistance carrier pigeon network.
I'm not going to attach decorators to a perfectly factual word to match the full spectrum of opinions on a matter. The treatment of Native Americans was a mistake. That is a fact, and to my understanding not in dispute anywhere. It may be a good many other things, too, and describable in visceral, grisly detail, but I am not obligated to list them every single time I mention the subject.
Note that while we learn the trail of tears in explicitly negative terms, we don't apologize nor give back the land. That isn't ever going to happen.
It isn't land that concerned Native Americans; they did not even have a concept of land ownership. What concerns them most is that they retain ownership of sacred burial sites and objects of historical and cultural significance. Under NAGPRA, it is a criminal offense to find such items and not report them to the government for repatriation.
In US History in grammar school, we learned about the Trail of Tears in explicitly negative terms. Do young Turks learn about Armenian genocide the same way? Everyone has skeletons. The difference is whether we keep them in the closet or not.
To be fair, the land rights of Native Americans today are a form of recompense for acknowledged past wrongs, along with special privileges such as gambling rights that trump state law and provide income to Native American communities. The US admits and owns its mistakes. Turkey is trying to bury its past with the dead.
Wasn't the first practitioner a computer store in Pakistan? Your computer would just display a message saying, "to fix this message, $$$ to this computer store in Pakistan" or something to that effect. Even had their name in it and everything.
More and more of Slashdot is just astroturf white noise: AC's for whom Slashdot is not nerd discussion site, but a platform for paid anti-American histrionics. It was amusing at first; now it's tiresome.

If you fire them from space, they're space guns!
And if you control them from an iPhone, they're n guns!
No, no, they should be looking over fake plans to raise thebattleship Yamato and put her into space. Go big, or go home.
Or... maybe those are the real plans?

We're all really American, after all.
Make sure you give him affirmative consent first.

Don't be such a neigh-sayer!
He was always there... waiting.
Other than some titillating gossip that was hashed out 3-4 months ago already, this seems less than newsworthy.
I get it. I don't want to, but I get it. :(
They wasted the money fruitlessly and want a mulligan. No. Give someone in procurement a pink slip and eat some humble pie. Own your mistakes.

It is not necessary to nuance every single thing you say. Pretty tedious, actually.

The Dalai Lama wanted to start a movie review newsletter, but it met a lot of resistance. Too many ohms.
Ah, here it is. Even better that it was accidental.

That's not how the encryption export laws work.
Won't someone please think of the poor Chinese nuclear weapons program?
