Not to be pedantic, but a vipassana retreat is a 10-day (though not always strictly 10) retreat. Vipassana is not itself a retreat but a method for seeing the nature of reality.

Nice! Though, seems odd to me that each entry copies the original article but reformats the text poorly. Would it not be better to simply link to the article itself? As is, much of the code examples aren't formatted. Maybe I'm not

Not clear to me why the README.md has no images of the design itself or its rationale but rather just some dudes bro'ing out on a patio. My intention is not to sound negative... there are good ideas happening here but the README.md is

The DOM strikes as being composed of layers of incidental complexity that get in the way of the actual problem you're trying to solve. jQuery, or abstractions like it, allow us to compose more elegant and semantically meaningful soluti

Lots of blanket statements in this article. He asserts there is a 'proper' order to learning JavaScript but makes no demonstration of that assertion. For me, jQuery was a gateway that hid much of the incidental complexity of worki
