pjax loads HTML from your server into the current page without a full reload. It's ajax with real permalinks, page titles, and a working back button that fully degrades.

pjax enhances the browsing experience - nothing more.

Interesting  stuff > When following MVC strictly, data access must happen in controllers. If two controllers need similar data from the same database table, in most MVC implementations the separation of code between controllers won’t even make it possible to group these similar data needs together.
Better MVC implementations manage to identify these common data needs across controllers and group the calls. For instance a meta-controller could iterate through all the controllers of a page and ask them what their data needs are. The meta-controller can then efficiently group the data access calls together, reducing the round trips to the data stores. 

Looks like JavaScript/Python

How to look hot in a photo, and generally take better pictures of yourself. Plus statistics.

I didn't know either. Take a guyess; I won't spoil it, read it :)

Interesting and humourous indeed.

Good to know. May come in useful at some point.

Getting the most out of the things you do. And I like the visuals. The navigation is also pretty nifty.

I likey

A collection of problems (mathematical and otherwise) to solve using your head and your code :) Good for staying sharp!

I've always thought this to be true, but where I live, very rarely will find a company who values personality. :(

Also, this guy really did set the gold standard: http://thinkcage.com/svn/. That's brilliant!

A pretty interesting way of storing data without a schema. They use a combination of Python's pickled object files & MySQL to store a crazy amount of data, and be able to modify it without locking up the database for hours on end.

Because I need to.

Neal Fraser’s terrifyingly clever differential synchronization algorithm (for SubEthaEdit-style collaboration over the web) is now available as an open source Python and JavaScript library.

This a rather, clever, simple idea. I like.
