Reliable headless DOM implementations are one of major obstacles for JS as a first class language. Kudos and thanks to everyone that is working to solve this!

It uses JSDOM ( http://jsdom.org/ ) under the hood. JSDOM is currently at DOM Level 1 (+additions). It also implements some of Level 2 and Level 3 ( https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom/blob/master/test/testlog.txt ).

I agree. To the GP's point though, they still weren't doing effective pairing for the 'training' or 'coaching' scenario. The pairing was contentious and out of balance. The coach didn't do any coaching. > ...if I paused too long, or see

Cool. Good news. How much market share does Android 2.3 have? As a developer, I like Android. I really do. I'm pulling for it. But as someone who has helped develop a first class Android application, the hardware fragmentation is the larges

Why is it degrading? I would think it would be perfectly acceptable for companies to ensure that their new hires (experienced or not) pass their basic heuristics. This comes in the form of tests, resume checks, social compatibility, etc. (I

There is hard data[1] that points to pair programming being much more productive than programming alone. This seems a little counter intuitive but if you dig a little deeper it starts to make sense. First, programming isn't menial work. You

These are the types of things that made me fall in love with Google in the 00's. It makes me happy that Google is continuing its quest to make all historical documents available to everyone. Now, I know cynics can argue that "This is just G

Not showing the product is not an unheard of marketing technique. Nike is famous for this. There are also other examples such as Wonderbra and Kellog's. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/05/business/media/05adco.html... If I had to guess, th

According to its website, Europeana is sponsored by the European Commission which is an arm of the European Union. I'd say that is a hefty acknowledgement from a "government" (or, rather, a supernational organization). But, yeah, I would lo

I'm not a tax expert but how are you sure that the tax burden for this income bracket is not _more_ in the United States? Sweden may have ~60% income tax but how much of the back-end tax finagling occurs in Sweden compared to the United Sta

IANAL but it seems like this is harassment of some sort. Also, when close minded people make fun of the diversity of a particular city, the people of that city can be brutal in their response. This is already evident in the fact that the Ti

Many of the exciting[1] new open source projects seem to have a huge focus on UX. I love this. Open source has always seemed to have a stigma of 'unusable' and these initiatives are really going against that notion. Diaspora, jQueryUI, Spro

If you read between the lines, the reason they have tried and failed to implement this is fragmentation of the market. While more modern devices would likely support GPU usage, the older devices (or even new low end devices?) would not. So

Anyone know if Dalton Maag is making a serif font, as well? Despite the long lived computer love affair with sans, serif is becoming more important with higher resolution screens (think Retina Display).
