This looks very similar to a library I created/am working on: http://keithcirkel.co.uk/jwerty/

Problem is the word "should", which isn't "has". Which means this trick doesn't help those of us who have to support IE<=7

To paraphrase your own comment: Timestamps are human readable. You just need a machine to change them into a human readable format

Reliability and lack of information. The problem with a "format" such as timestamps is that there is no defined parameters, especially cross language. I cannot rely that sending a timestamp in seconds will be read in seconds the other side

It's true, I should have mentioned RFC3339 in the article. I will make some amendments to it later today.

Well, 3600 seconds can be expressed much more simply than that: 'PT1H'. Which is more human readable than '3600'. The point in intervals is a compromise between human and machine readability - the point being that we can more easily determi

This is a great recommendation but if you're trying to be interoperable with other languages it's just not possible. If you're in control of the output format though, I would fully agree.

If you look at the website this article is on ( http://tempus-js.com/ ) it is a JavaScript library for replacing the Date object with something that offers more functionality and is browser compatible down to IE6 & co.

I agree. The main barrier to actually reading the ISO8601 spec is that it costs money, and is not cheap (if memory services its ~$150), leaving people to read the draft specs (which are harder to get a hold of in their full form) or the Wik

Yes, this is one thing that I've had a lot of difficulty with when trying to implement a reliable ISO parser. I've found that Python is one of the worst offenders with this, as by default the datetime classes have no concept of tz, and it i

The trick is to overlay an element over the top of a link, with the CSS of "pointer-events: none;". Clicking the div will click the underlying link, which will (if you're logged into facebook) "like" the Facebook Developer group. Is this an

One thing which the article didn't highlight, which I discovered when our team tried to switch to a 100% pair environment - the variable skill and speed of individuals. One of the biggest problems we had was developers getting frustrated in

I think Backbone JS might be useful for facilitating communication between the different components that Chrome uses (ie. contentscript <-> browser button). I can't see anything in the Gists you provided that highlight this. Did you

The script duplicates the images inside of a <canvas> tag, which goes exactly on top of the current image. It then uses the canvas to provide the blend-mode functionalities. Here is the source: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45557606/Enva

On the "git as a backup tool", the author missed a tool which looks quite interesting, called Bup ( https://github.com/apenwarr/bup ) which is based on git's toolchain. It is still immature but worth looking at.
