 Why anyone would have the idea to mix two different langauges in one
 tutorial is beyond me.

It's an interesting idea to present two or more languages in parallel - 
it would assist someone going sideways from one language to another.

 And calling that web page a tutorial is a large stretch of imagination.
 It is a random collection of primitve code samples, organized roughly by
 area. No learning goals, no explanation of concepts, ...

I'm a big fan of code samples - most of my code starts as other people's 
code samples.

 Apparently you changed your ID to escape all the filters you have been a
 permanent guest to. This 'tutorial' confirms that this is the best place
 for you. So back you go again.

I'm not interested in Xah Lee's tutorials enough to check whether they're 
any good or not, but he does have some interesting things to say about 
Emacs.

One way to do such research is for you to publish the actual number of
hits on your website. It's also easy to analyze logfile data with free
tools like analog or awstats, and publish the number of unique
visitors, pages hit, bandwidth, etc. It would also be possible for you
to work out how accurate the Alexa numbers actually are compared to
the numbers you see in your logs.

Why don't you just change your provider? It would take less time than this.

 Are you joking. Just change your provider? Do you have a little button 
 on your computer that says Change provider? Cool! :)

No, but if you go any look at the website of Xah Lee, he seems to have spent 
enough time and energy complaining that it would be overwhelmingly greater 
than the time it would take him to apply for a new provider.
