Look for the link there to download a list of the top million domains (according to them, of course). Edit: http://s3.amazonaws.com/alexa-static/top-1m.csv.zip

Not sure I understand what that has to do with jQuery being on npm. The only way that Cheerio uses jQuery is by choosing its popular API to implement an interface to scraped pages in.

by Encosia 13y ago
To my knowledge, Cheerio (which is great) does not depend on jQuery. I believe it just implements a limited selector, traversal, and manipulation API that's very similar to a subset of jQuery's API over the browser DOM.

I love my Surface 2. I have a couple iPads and Android tablets (if you count the Kindle Fire) in a drawer here and wouldn't trade my Surface for all four of them if I had to choose.

Definitely. I just downloaded it to evaluate as a replacement for Mozy, to ultimately consider evaluating it as a replacement for Mozy Pro for one of my clients.

There's an option in Internet Options > Programs to always open IE in desktop mode, which might be simpler for your dentist.

I'm not sure I understand. I told you that I personally do productive things in Metro, but you're telling me I'm wrong. I told you that I personally do even more productive things by focusing on the desktop when Metro isn&#x2

If you don't like the color change switching into the Start Page, there's a setting that uses a dimmed version of your desktop background as the Start Page's background too. It sounds trivial, but makes a big impact on how ja

Maybe you could clarify what you meant in the comment I replied to then. It seemed like you were saying that a laptop with Windows 8 somehow precludes "some people from doing something productive" just because the Metro interface

I'm a developer, so I'm no stranger to tasks outside of Metroland. I don't have any trouble using my desktop or laptop to get things done. Win8.1 is essentially just a better, faster Win7 when I'm focused on using deskto

I don't know this for a fact, but I think very few people were coming from Win2k to XP. Win2k was relatively niche, even in business, from what I can remember of my experience back then. It was essentially only the people who were runn

The Windows 8 (especially post-8.1) pushback baffles me. If you put any effort at all into learning how to use it effectively, the acclimation period is definitely shorter than Win95 or WinXP was. I use it on a desktop machine with two 30&q

The best acquisition outcome is something like Android or Kinect, definitely not watching GrandCentral stagnate for years after acquisition.

It's kind of creepy how close that domain name is to my own domain (and username here). Definitely elicited a double take when I saw it.

There's a difference between something urgent and something that's merely time sensitive, I think. In my example of scheduling tennis practice, updates need to be timely, but they aren't urgent enough to warrant spending time

By far, the most important thing is to understand your recipient's preference, not the technical merits of a particular medium/protocol. I'm active in several tennis leagues locally. Between arranging team practice, schedulin

No. I "click to play" plugins like Flash and Silverlight and the demos worked without my enabling any plugins.

One thing that's illustrated in the demos is that you can zoom into detail in the photosynth images that you couldn't in a video. I imagine there could eventually be better interactivity with the underlying 3D model than video cou

It's easy enough to avoid the 300ms delay without breaking zoom. There are dozens of tiny libraries that fix this problem by intercepting touchdown events and immediately firing a click if there isn't a touchmove within a very sho

It's not much work to include the "first page" of data as a JavaScript variable declaration embedded in the response to the initial page hit to avoid that second round trip.

Configuring selective sync (which was a must since this was on a laptop with a relatively small SSD) is particularly excruciating, and I do need to tweak that from time to time when large folders are added. The window that pops up when you

That's essentially what I was doing previously, but the if (_gaq) test was throwing an unusual reference error when Disconnect was installed. I ended up finding that doing an explicit if (typeof _gaq === 'object') was safe (a

Why's that? I picked up a QHD+ Samsung a few weeks ago and have been loving it for development work. All of the development tools I've needed so far have respected Windows' DPI scaling (which came set at 200% on the Samsung,
