So you don't take pride or feel a sense of ownership over your code? That would put you in the minority I surmise. Fact: The vast majority of people would take the twitter conversation Heather posted as a personal attack. Not many people

He didn't merely say the project "wasn't good", he implied it in a snarky, very unconstructive way. Here's his quote from twitter: > Ever wanted to make sed or grep worse? http://github.com/harthur/replace In the world I live in, th

No, Steve Klabnik being an asshole makes it so hard for him to not accidentally be an asshole. Look at this quote: > nothing's _wrong_ with it, but I don't want to build my app on top of others' code who are at this level of understand

Wow, David Cramer is a total asshole! That Steve Klabnik guy is also an asshole. The only one who doesn't appear to a complete dick is Corey Haines, whose apology was better. Not great, but better. Here's the thing - if you ever even con

Yep. It sure seems like no one in Washington plays the game fairly, so you might as well score what points you can in any way that you can. I know there are many who disagree with that.

I'd say Minnesota and the midwest states take it for worst roads, especially in the city areas. The freeze/thaw and snowplows decimate our roads every winter.

Completely agree. I'm a consultant and this is very intriguing. Sure, the money is low and the equity is high, but I have a ton of side projects that never get finished. If this offer was what it took for me to finish something, I'd say 5

Couldn't have said it better. My father was never one to give demonstrative praise in the typical sense, but it was clear to anyone who saw that he was one of the most caring and loving parents. And even though praise may not be explicit,

I'm all for innovation, but don't pretend that this is some altruistic plan by Google and Apple to move the web forward. It's about the same thing it was for Microsoft, keeping users tied to THEIR browser. Let's take Google Chrome's NaCl.

Personal bias much? I see you work on Safari at Apple. How come it's OK for WebKit to extend the spec with non-standard features but it was not OK for IE 6? Sure, some of the features have been standardized and included in other browsers,

See the rest of the comments in this thread about why the fallback can be painfully slow if the CDN is down. I saw your previous comment about making an ajax request with an adjusted timeout, but this is not ideal for making cross domain

I agree completely that your average website will have less uptime than the CDN. The problem isn't that the CDNs are less reliable, it's that it's VERY unlikely that your site will experience downtime at the same time as the CDN. This mea

I figure most content sites that are including jQuery are likely including some other third party libs. In the case of more than one external lib I think bundling makes sense and has a positive impact.
49.
by dos1 14y ago
Yeah, I know - but why bother? Just host the libs yourself and be done with it. Plus that way you can bundle them with your other scripts and save a request. Edit: To clarify - the reason I don't like the above solution is because if the C

More generally, I have never understood why people use these third party CDNs for important sites. Don't get me wrong, I understand the bullet points that the Microsoft's and Google's trot out: User more likely to have it cached, more simu

As I understand it the mobile SDKs Xamarin releases use the native UI widgets for each platform - allowing you to get native look and feel with one code base. (I may be wrong on this, but I thought this was one of their major selling points

LINQ is just another tool in the toolbox. Like any tool it has the potential for misuse. Ultimately the skill of the person wielding the tool will decide whether the outcome is good or bad. It sounds like you've mostly seen the bad. In the

As with most things, the answer lies somewhere in the middle. Not having a coding standard at all is just as bad as having a very rigid standard with no room for free expression and where nobody can remember all the rules. See StyleCop (fo

This looks fantastic. Do you know if there's any kind of similar implementation for Ruby? Would it be terribly complicated to do something similar for Ruby or a different dynamic language?

The author mentions jQuery's broken promises implementation and how it prevents the excellent chaining feature. I definitely see how jQuery's implementation differs from the Promises/A spec. However, doesn't .pipe() in jQuery basically al
