Such as?

Even tiny differences such as the compiler flags used affects the final binary. How do you know that the source code presented is the source code used for any non-trivial program?

jQuery hardly qualifies as a "huge ass" javascript framework. The gzip minified production version of the script weighs in at under 34kB. Worst case scenario if you're hosting jQuery yourself, this is a one off download. This is hardly going to cause problems, even on a mobile data connection.

On the other hand, jQuery does make code a lot neater. Especially with judicious use of selectors

.

p.s. Nice going trying to pin the Obamacare fiasco on jQuery. I don't think I've heard that one before.

That's a useful list, especially if you have no clue as to what to actually search for. Like me.

Cheers.

However it's very clear that you are just winding me up for a bit of fun and nowhere near as ignorant and stupid as you are pretending to be.

Seeing as you're genuinely confused as to what I'm talking about, we've been running tasks in parallel in Python ever since the beginning. Just use processes instead of threads. There are differences (no shared heap, IPC) but there are benefits (no shared heap!). If you're used to the thread pool paradigm, Python has both a thread pool and process pool with the thread pool obviously limited by the GIL while the process pool isn't.

So what's with the thread obsession? It's not the only way to run tasks in parallel.

If you were an elite software developer, you'd be too busy to join a jumped up organisation like the ACM.

Why is that silly? Do we really think crooks will not find some way of overriding the "slow down" command? As for "partners", a computer does not get stressed or feel under pressure when chased by cops and thus will be less likely to make mistakes.

Why is worrying about this silly?

A couple of questions for you:

1) What happens when your single server goes down? How long does it take you to get back up and running?
2) What happens if your demand is spiky?

If you're going to use an instance for a year constantly, you need to look at reserved instances. That brings the price down to $3054 for the year which is not bad as you don't pay for electricity or cooling.

With judicious use of semicolons, you could fit all that into a single line.

You might have to scroll horizontally a lot, but it's still a single line!
