"What came to be called the Plague of Justinian spread rapidly, wiping out one-third to one-half of the population of the eastern Roman Empire and hastening its collapse, McCormick says."
Considering when the ERE "fell", the plague did a pretty poor job of hastening it's collapse, no?
Not being familiar with the history, the dates that I found seem to support your point.
> The Plague of Justinian (541–549 AD)
> The Byzantine Empire, also referred to as the Eastern Roman Empire..[was] in 555 under Justinian the Great, at its greatest extent since the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
> It survived the fragmentation and fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD and continued to exist for an additional thousand years until it fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1453.
Yeoman is boilerplate, this is code which directly avoids boilerplate, since it's an abstraction instead. Yeoman IMO encourages the wrong things, most true boilerplate (files) can just be a sample repo that you clone.
If you have ever chance to read any ancient Greek historian, you would notice breakfast was a big deal back then. Xenophon for example mentions it about every time he describes how the morning starts in an army camp. This is just another click-bait article, don't fall for it.
How exactly do you scan these apps though? The only proper way I can think of going about it is to some how bulk download these apps and then go about analysing their code.
jQuery is fine for regular websites and the like, but inadequate for large scale client apps. That's what Angular is for. There is not much benefit using angular to build your marketing site.
If you don't understand this, you understand neither Angular, nor jQuery.
He isn't comparing the features of Angular to the features of jquery at all, he is just comparing it to a framework that has stood the test of time due to it's simplicity. He doesn't explicitly say it but I am sure when he talks about 'easier' ways to do what you can do with Angular, I believe he means other similar frameworks e.g. Ember, Backbone etc.
The moment you databind, you can't use nearly as many other libraries as easily or safely. This means you want as fully-featured a databinding library so you don't need other stuff.
There's tons of articles about providing Angularjs updating support when you use jQuery..it's (or used to be) just painful.
