Off-topic: Hilarious how broken Blogspot seems to be. Half the time I load this URL, I get a different post on the same blog ("Static DOM XSS Scanner") but still with the intended URL. Whatever this fancy JavaScript loading thing

I didn't read anything implying he is an uneducated hick unless you think the term "grease monkey" itself has that implication. But I don't that that term has the connotation you're saying it does. Whenever I'v

Hmm, that's not how I imagined them doing it. It seems like Facebook could log the click on their site, and then use the Page Visibility API or even just scrolling events to detect your return – all without a tracking bug on any other

But not all. My only experience with Lyft was similar to ja27's: no pink mustache, car/driver/experience indistinguishable from an UberX.

Actually the result "3232 people (2012 estimate)" is indeed a GIF – check out the source. It looks like they use a canvas element to simulate the underline-on-hover.

Yes. It really shines a lot on the fact that those futuristic movie interfaces didn't just spring out of the computer by virtue of it being the future. And I'm not talking about the CGI folks who create those interfaces for the mo

I was merely taking issue with your use of "by definition" and "correct". :) It's more accurate to say "by convention" and "assumed", which makes the argument for continuing to insist on monospac

The original display of plain text email was on monochromatic green "P1" phosphor screens, so that's by definition the correct way. Otherwise, you break the expectation that the text will be green.

The new rendering method kills subpixel font rendering, I suspect due to the translate3d hardware acceleration. Unfortunately noticeable for those of us not yet on retina-resolution screens.

I think because the common usage of birthdates doesn't take the timezone into account. e.g. if you were born on January 1st 9pm PST, that's January 2nd 12am EST – but your birthday is still considered January 1st no matter where y

I'm not really disputing the time anything will take, rather that "A+ doesn't require that you use the browser's asynchronous scheduling mechanism" – it very much does, even though that scheduling mechanism might be

Unfortunately there's no way to remove the need for flushQueue being called with the browser's asynchronous scheduling mechanism (using setTimeout in your example) in the case where it isn't already flushing – that's the

The situation caused by promises gaining popularity and non-IE browsers refusing to implement setImmediate is really quite ugly. setTimeout's minimum value is defined to be 4ms by the HTML5 spec, so if the browser conforms to that and

Could you post an example of what you mean by the single target/file limitation? As stated I can't tell how implicit rules or a rule to build an entire directory wouldn't be a solution, but maybe I'm not understanding th

Assuming Half-Life the game was using this without tweaking the engine parameters much, I have to say this is the only engine that really "felt" 100% right to me. In Quake 1-3 I felt heavy/bulky, like my body didn't coll

In the post it says they instrument the $.get callback, but that's a jQuery function. So are they instrumenting actual AJAX methods or just jQuery's? Can you get timing data for JSONP requests, which don't actually use AJAX (

That may be true, I'm not sure which features of HAML are considered obscure? But that in itself reinforces my point: you're saying there are obscure parts of HAML that don't pertain to HTML, apparently. That's the arg

You used to be able to peek at how many other dynos you were sharing an instance with by running netstat -l | grep lxc | wc -l I sampled the resulting number a bunch of times and usually got 100 ± 25. I'm guessing this isn't possib
