Agreed, there are no 10x engineers, we all have 10x moments in time once in a while. We all have moments when we feel we can't tie our own shoelaces without help.

So was that a dig against jQuery?

Ever try adding a string and an integer in JavaScript?

I think developers who think JavaScript is great, love it because it's forgiving. Do what you want, the JavaScript siren says, it might work, it might not but at least you won't have an ugly all stop. I'll try to make it do something, anything, sings the siren.

Like the parent, this seems odd that just now in 2016 we find there might be another planet in our own solar system when planets are being discovered in other solar systems and galaxies all the time.

There's this from the article:

"For the first time in over 150 years, there is solid evidence that the solar system's planetary census is incomplete."

It's our _own_ solar system and we just now found this massive thing?

How much did storing the data on S3 cost where you said, "However, the data is on S3" or was it there for such a transient time that it didn't cost much? Bandwidth costs in/out of S3 too?

Edit: Actually I read the S3 parts again, it sounds like the CommonCrawl project pays the S3 costs, I think, since it looks like you're using their domain data?

Love this part, "In fact, when I first picked up a dictionary in order to study the words "art" and "science," I happened to glance at the editor's preface, which began by saying, "The making of a dictionary is both a science and an art.""

How to C in 2016 11 years ago

I'd agree, there was a great book called Deep C Secrets by Peter van der Linden. The book itself is not without errors but still provided some useful insights to things I didn't realize I was doing wrong back when I coded in C.

Agree, it's a democratic republic which is unique. It blends and contrasts the best and worst of the two, historically acceptable methods of governing and keeps the two locked in a permanent struggle; with the inevitable hope that it strengthens the country over the longest tests of time.
