Thanks for the suggestions! The facebook thing is something we've wanted to do (and only recently could, reply links used to be anchor #hashes which means the server can't return different facebook image metadata based on them). We've talke

In fact they do, if you hover the GIF you get a pause button that pauses the GIF (and by that I mean swaps it out for the static thumbnail again; browsers don't give you any real control over GIFs).

tl;dr: code to remove everyjs.com' dependencies on jQuery/Sproutcore. 24,624 deletions comes entirely from the removal of jQuery and Sproutcore. The resulting code/html is only mildly smaller.

I love the graphs, but the article only presents data that would back up it's conclusion. I want to see the graph of access times and memory usage as a function of data size. Those are the two factors that are definitely going to be worse f

Wow. It's dramatically better! Within about 20 seconds I was filled with that rush of curiosity / grandiose ambition that Civ creates so wonderfully. I immediately closed the window. Fuck. I don't have time for Civ. Must ship more code, sta

I can't perceive the difference between domainzomg.com and instantdomainsearch.com. The latter is using plain old ajax. Theoretically I'm not even sure if I should see a difference. A plain old ajax call will get sent on an existing sleepin

This would be more of a "Big Deal" if it hadn't been available for many years in Mozilla via PyXPCOM: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/PyDOM That being said, there's definitely room for competition. PyXPCOM is far from a joy to work with.

It seems paradoxical that one liners could dominate the comment section. They're only one line! Of course, I completely agree with you. Perhaps the real problem is that when a one liner gets upvoted it brings with it the one liner's replies

In a nutshell, you're right. This looks like, on paper, a bad investment market, and it might be. Indie Fund doesn't have to turn a profit and they'll be successful: they're fundamentally about funding the games that they want to see develo

Pipelining is not enough even if the internet infrastructure was perfect. Why? 1. Slow requests stall the entire pipeline. 2. The initial request stalls the pipeline. 3. The pipeline is being pulled instead of pushed so your performance is

The pricing backlash is fascinating to me, because it appears that it's not that Twilio is overpriced but more that OpenVBX is appealing to consumers/prosumers that Twilio wasn't really reaching before. So now I'm curious what's next: Does
