No. It's obfuscating HTML with a JS wrapper.

http://www.ractivejs.org/ (also currently on the front page) uses a pattern that reduces friction while keeping responsibilities where they belong, i.e. HTML for markup and JS for interactivity.

when everyone is trying to do the opposite (remove js from your html so that both are mean, see angularjs and similar), this one is extraordinary. I believe it has a fundamental flaw though. If someone is comfortable with this level of js, then she wouldn't bother probably having them inter-mixed. On the other hand for those who don't like a high doze js in their lives, this looks even scarier. So I think, it is not a niche but a deserting island market segment to aim for.
Still, who am i to judge, all the luck to the maintainers
Sad to say but it doesn't add much value and it makes certain tasks harder even. For instance it makes it very hard (or almost impossible) to use that same html templates on the backend and on the frontend side of things.
Try to avoid answering questions that begin with "how" or "why". And if you do get these, rehearse your answer in advance, or pause, or answer by asking for more detail.
This is awful. You're putting HTML directly into your javascript. Not only that, but you're making an abstraction around HMTL, which is almost always a disastrous idea.

I'd try:

- detect obvious bots (e.g. clients requesting form without loading CSS or JS or filling it in instantly), suspicious IPs (EC2, VPS hosting) and release smaller batch of seats to them (don't deny completely in case of false positive).

- create waiting list and give reservations randomly to people on the list (while the list can be spammed as well, humans would still have better chance than reserving between 4:00:00 and 4:00:01). Also bot authors would have to be creative to avoid creating easy to spot patterns of names/times in the list.

Having studied literature, I was taken aback by this, as it really is a nice story, that fit the facts after the fact. It is the classical "post hoc, ergo proter hoc", that is so common in (at least German) literature science.

Some small factoids are taken from "texts" (or here movies) and over them a nice story is fabricated, to "explain" these factoids.

For example the timeline. Does Cars for example mention the time anywhere in the movie? Or is this just a fictional fitting from the maker of this site?

Or does Monster Inc. somewhere mention a time, that would explain the position on the timeline?

Or the mentioned wars between animals/humans and machines/humans. Where in the movies are they referenced?

This (The Pixar Theory) is not a "scientific" theory. It does not in the least adhere to anything remotely resembling a scientific method.

Restaurants typically hold back inventory from online reservation systems for two reasons. They either think they can fill seats and they rather not pay the per cover fees OT and UrbanSpoon charge or they want to hold seats for walk-ins. Well three if you count timing seating to keep the front of the house and kitchen from being overloaded.

State Bird Provisions however has so much demand that there is a line for walk-ins hoping for a cancellation an hour before the restaurant opens and they appear to not actually hold back much (any?) inventory specifically for walk-ins.

But generally speaking yes, you will often be able to call a restaurant and get a table or possibly walk in even when their online reservation system shows up as full.

Also, you can also put yourself on a waitlist at many restaurants. If someone calls to cancel, before they release the reservation back to the online system, they'll go through their waitlist and call and ask if you want it instead.

> The venue has a perverse incentive allowing scalpers to buy every last ticket they can get their greedy little hands on. As long as a ticket gets sold, they don't care. Screw the fans.

Everything I've seen trying to explain the scalping phenomenon appeals to the idea that this is completely backwards from true. Specifically, the theory is that the venue's incentive is to fill seats, which is why tickets are so dramatically underpriced (price too low -> shortage of seats -> all seats get filled -> the act appears to be popular). From the venue's perspective, a seat sold to a scalper is a seat they lose money on and that might not be filled during the performance (since the scalper's incentive is to charge a realistic price), which is a double loss to the venue.

In sum, selling tickets to scalpers gets the venues an amount of money they don't want (they were guaranteed to sell out anyway), in order to generate an effect they don't want (some seats will be empty during the performance). Where's the perverse incentive?

Yeah, similar story for me - Jordan was pretty active on the FreeBSD UKUG mailing lists at the time, I remember him announcing his move to Apple and that prompted me to finally pull the trigger on a shiny new Powerbook.

Sure, that's one kind of restaurant. I've never heard of anyone trying to get a reservation there, though, and I'm pretty sure there's a direct relationship between the lack of demand for reservations, and the restaurant's ability to scale.

> Similarly, in a heated room without an outside source of airflow, very hot air is constantly pushed directly to your body, which is a far more effective way of raising your body temperature rather than “baking” in hot air. If you get enough of this, you would die – of hyperthermia, or abnormally high body temperature

For the air to actually heat your body enough to kill you, you need:

* Room temperature that is high enough to kill you (>43 degrees celcius). Any temperature below this -- and the fan helps avoid hyperthermia by averaging out the body temperature with the environment.

* You have to be fully dehydrated, otherwise even air hotter than your body will cool you up.

* According to http://www.currentresults.com/Weather-Extremes/hottest-citie... you won't find any place in the world where the night time temperature is well above 30 degrees, so Fan Death is a total myth.

* According to http://www.mherrera.org/temp.htm no place in Korea ever exceeded 40.3 celsius degrees between 2002 and 2012. So if you slept with a fan, during the hottest day of the hottest city in Korea, you'd still not be hot enough to be killed.

If you sleep on on extremely hot days (not nights), with (>43C) a fan directly aimed at you may increase the risk of hyperthermia (which exists anyway). However, on any day with more than 36 degrees Celsius, you are unlikely to leave a fan directed at you, because it will feel warmer than without the fan.

In short, it is a silly urban legend, more likely to cause hyperthermia in people who are afraid to use fans to lower their temperatures during the night.
I read this theory on some other blog site a week ago - can someone confirm what it was?

The theory is tenuous as best and not overly convincing. But I love discourse like this. I think that this is the value of art, for there to be more meaning and truth in the work than the artist may have intended.

Anyway, a nice looking site. I like the idea of dedicate entire sites/domains to a single article or idea.

Well, true in the sense of the way most koreans talk about it is not the case.

Fan death is true in as much as if you blow air hotter than 37 degrees over a dehydrated body that (for whatever reason) can't wake up, you could potentially have trouble. Then again, I don't think it's particularly controversial that blowing hot air over someone who can't wake up might cause them damage. That's not the same as saying that the Korean idea of fan death is true.
Yes it was posted on HN.

Since you can't RESELL your reservation, I think the answer is for the restaurant to black list exactly one sniper, maybe just for one year, and publicize doing so.

Everyone else, who has been fighting to get a reservation for months the old fashion way, will not decry your loss.

And I doubt very much you would risk getting blacklisted for sniping reservations off their site, since you appear to love the restaurant so much.
> However, their license makes their technology a niche product

That pretty much sums up the difference between academia and the so called "real world".
Given this place has a line outside of it well before it opens on the off chance someone cancels, removing reservations would mean everyone would have to wait for a table.

I can't think of a worse customer experience than taking someone on a date, waiting in a congested line outside at night for 45 minutes only to be told that there are no tables available.

Not getting a reservation on the other hand just means that I can just go somewhere else.

There's an extremely important design skill in knowing what kinds of algorithms might be fun to turn into a playable form, and doing that is a mix of getting past preconceived "all games are like this" notions, and having substantial breadth of technical experience(i.e. if you're still in high school, it's too early to expect anything, even if you're a prodigy). But I will agree on this point - it's not the same as doing the complicated engineering needed to match existing game tech feature-for-feature. Nobody will notice a better photorealistic renderer - but they might notice an aesthetic or a kind of simulation that's completely untried or previously abandoned.

And there's also increasingly a place for "outsider" works now, because the off-the-shelf tools are very capable. Tech skills still help smooth the way with those, but I've encountered a lot of people who aren't deep into CS and get by with a lot of handholding from friends. I find this more interesting than traditional gamedev now, since there are so many perspectives outside of the tech sphere.
No.

To clarify, I think it's sleazy to sell people products and then make ambiguous claims that a person of lesser intelligence may follow as fact.

Example : "See guys!? Major League Gamer Fatal1ty uses such and such hardware. Buy now!"

See how they never said that Fatal1ty is a good gamer BECAUSE he uses x & y hardware? They simply stated he uses it.

It's up to the victim to infer a correlation between game skill and hardware, but the marketer sets them up in a biased manner so as to manipulate what they infer.

THAT is what I have a problem with, and "a tool for [insert sect of people here]" exploits that the same way. "Hey guys, want to be a 'hacker'? Did you know 'hackers' use x & y? Buy now!"

They don't know what services or products they want, they simply read labels. I do, in fact, think it's wrong to exploit the mechanisms behind 'a fool and their money are soon parted.'.
I can't see any way that writing a verbose json format that is just pseudo-html is a solution instead of being another layer of problem on top of the original. Also the argument against selectors is nonsensical unless we're suggesting that xpath is wrong. The only reason selectors are for styling is because that is the approach taken by browsers and so you are tunnel visioned into believing that is the case. They are not "for" styling, they are selectors use "by" styling. I similarly don't see what drawing parallels to C has anything to do with it.

I'd also like to point out that in a good portion of JS projects HTML and JS have a symbiotic relationship so the notion that you have to scrub out all the HTML as "best practice" is entirely incorrect in my eyes, thus the failing/winning example makes no sense without context. Is that HTML pre-baked into the page by the server? Then it makes complete sense to be that way. Are you hand generating it from strings? Not ideal, but there are tons of far more elegant ways to solve that already and they don't require you to still be writing HTML in your JS (even if it looks like JSON it still has a single purpose and is wedged directly into your code).

At least existing templating solutions call out to external templates in locations where the HTML "should be".
