It's all fine and dandy except Amazon could not handle the volume. Two of my guaranteed next day deliveries were awfully late, one of them over a week. Apparently my case was not at all isolated, as people were complaining all over the

Depends on the context, I guess. While working on a code base employing DOM manipulation it's absolutely fine. Having said that I would think long and hard before starting a new project with jQuery, and then probably used another libra

Considering current trends for creating complex applications for the client I do not believe jQuery has much of a future anyway. It had been good while it lasted, I used to like jQuery a lot until better tools came along. These days librari

Thanks for sharing. Really good and honest write-up. Everyone needs to put bread on the table. It's much more rewarding investing your time in your own project than selling your time to some corporation. At least you actually have some

Absolutely. I second that. I would be willing to spend a couple of hours on an interview task, which could give the interviewer an idea about my skills, but more than that I would see as an overkill. Besides, in my view, showing some OS rep

I hate to say that, but I just seem to have broken it. Here's how: I put 0.1 in A1, 0.2 in A2 and =A1+A2 in B1. Now B1 displays "=A1+A2" instead of the result.

From web dev perspective Safari is becoming new IE6. CSS3 written to spec, working fine on anything else including IE11 tends to fail on Safari. I'm sure I will get a lot of hate from Apple fun boys and girls, but that has been my and

No matter what framework or library you choose, if you go past the to-do list project you will encounter certain pain points. I worked with jQuery when it was the new kid on the block, with Angular since it first came out and now with React

I found it really enjoyable and rather funny. I really liked the attention to detail as well, e.g. replicating last 5 searches in order to stay stealthy. I imagine that lots of effort went into the hacking exercise and the write-up. Nicely

I hear you. I moved to the UK ten years ago, because I fell in love with this beautiful, mature, tolerant country. It hurts to see what the populists are trying to do. It's neither good for the people of Britain, the economy, nor the r
