No one else has mentioned using a view manager/factory to handle the life cycle of views?

instead of

  var view = new SomeView(options);

  view.render();
we do
  var view = Vm.create('some descriptor', SomeView, options);

  view.render();
The factory/manager can do many things! List out active views, clean up all views at any stage during their life cycle, default cleaning methods etc etc

Great men live for mastery and academia but modern universities have nothing to do with either therefore attending is a waste of precious years. University takes up your spare time that you could be learning things that you're passionate about, it also seeds poisonous ideas into your head.

This is mostly relevant to the tech community at the moment because we have had the tools to make our education open enabling the guys mentioned in the article to educate them self.

Once the other industries start openly publishing educational material then the true power of passionate self development will be known.

Hi guys, January this year we created "cdnjs.com - the missing cdn". Since then we have acquired full sponsorship from CloudFlare.com who have stabilized the hosting infrastructure and reached new speeds Amazon S3 could not.

Cdnjs has had measurable popularity and going into the new year we thought it's time to step it up a notch and host popular CSS snippets/frameworks. The idea itself is in a trial and once the community has spoken we will again make informed decisions on infrastructure if we are to go ahead.

At the moment we are inviting anyone and everyone to contribute to the cdncss.com project.

Simply create an issue or comment on issues that you think are important, if you have the time we would greatly appreciate populating the actual repository via a fork request.

Well my counter thoughts are that the difference in look up speed is big enough to make a distinction.

If I read information from an encyclopedia I would be much more inclined to try remember it at the point in time.

Whereas it's habitual for me to now just skim over information on the internet and store the reference point to it instead.

Edit: Effectively instead of filling my memory with facts I store it with pointers to facts. Which makes it harder to put two and two together.

I was actually trying to find resources when I was writing this but couldn't so this is very helpful, thanks!

I recall reading about other mechanical devices like the steering wheel and computer mice being extensions of the human body. Does anyone know what it's called?

As posted by somebody else it's also worth using a local fallback. html5boilerplate has been doing it for jQuery for some time now.

This can be done with most libraries by identifying the libraries global variable. e.g. for Modernizr

<script>!window.Modernizr && document.write(unescape('%3Cscript src="/public/scripts/libs/modernizr.js"%3E%3C/script%3E'))</script>
