Going by CPI it's actually about $2,800 in today's money. Still a significant amount of cash though. http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=666.00&year1=19...

Sure, though in the grand scheme of things that penalty is pretty small when compared to the DOM operation itself. Eg. doing an appendChild() on an attached element and causing a reflow.

Yes. DOM manipulation in all major browsers is implemented in C/C++. The JS engine is just a wrapper; any noticeable performance difference in DOM manipulation is almost certainly due to differences in the underlying layout engine and

When I was an engineering student I had several friends who were enlisted in the Air Force reserve while in college. They did pretty advanced electronics / avionics maintenance during their weekends and inevitable 3 month deployments i

At least at University of Wisconsin campuses there's a good legal reason for a campus to have its own police: city and county police by default don't have jurisdiction within state agencies like the University.

When you're in the ideation stage of a startup it's hugely valuable to be in the same room arguing over the same whiteboard. There's no higher bandwidth way of communicating, learning and building consensus. Once you've

GE scanner, by chance? I've heard their software is pretty terrible compared to their competitors.

The architecture is suited just fine, it all depends on how you decide to use Node.js. If you're using it for handling lots of asynchronous IO (eg. for a webserver) then it's probably unwise to mix in lots of blocking compute-heav

That's potentially a really poor way of doing it; if your browser/OS does subpixel rendering the resulting PNG could look terrible on other machines.

I hadn't heard of that one and can't find anything about it. Do you have a source?

Also, let's not confuse people. The target is the FCC. We want people to contact FCC and complain about their (proposed) policies. If you're going to involve brands and logos, use theirs.

How about something that much more closely resembles slow page loading? Pop an explainer / action callout modal while the page slowly reveals itself, something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/dpemmons/3zSSk/3&#

The SOPA fight was so successful because the rallying call was super clear: Don't Censor The Internet! Was SOPA strictly censorship? Well, not precisely - but that would have been basically the result. You could go on for an hour about

Apologies: exclusivity and price guarantees.

You shouldn't have opened the dealership without an agreement with the manufacturer giving you exclusive rights to sell in your market for enough time to justify your investment.

You miss the point. AirBnB redesigned how one acquires temporary housing when visiting another city (staying at an individual's house, arranged via an online marketplace). Their site's visual design is really ancillary to that.

Pro video cameras record beyond 5K - eg. RED Dragon does 6K. Shortly (probably at NAB this year) we'll be seeing theater projectors and studio monitors at that resolution.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, this is a JBOD of course. I was thinking of their 36 drive server cases, thought one was 45 and didn't look too closely when I found the link I thought I was looking for. :) Now that prices have come down so

I love all the engineering Backblaze puts into this and their willingness to share their experience. I've noticed Supermicro offers a 45-drive 4u chassis* that costs more than the Storage Pod's raw parts cost, but less than if you

I wouldn't read too much into this. As part of their purchase agreement WhatsApp likely needed to say that they had been diligent in maintaining and defending their copyrights and trademark. That's pretty standard in a financing,
