On the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, years ago, they had a contest between a ham radio operator using Morse code and a 20-something texting to his friend. Morse code was faster. Therefore, I propose we all exchange texting for Morse code.

This is part myth. The chances your site has the same version of jQuery that the visitor's browser cache is are pretty low. iirc, someone once said it was less than 5%.

What you call Byzantine, I call normal. Some things are harder to learn than others but you can't throw your hands up in the air and let someone else (jQuery) do the simple things for you. Working with the DOM is what we programmers do

It's a page and a half of mostly IE bugs. You should know your bugs and not try to cover them up but, more troubling that you don't want to know these things. Programmers I know want to write code, especially things as insignifica

You're pointing out an IE problem, not a javascript problem that isn't present in other browsers.

Using Apple products is a pleasant experience. Using jQuery is to avoid learning how to code while purporting that it makes things easier cross browser. Of course, if that were the real reason, we would also have cQuery and c++Query and so

I've only used jQuery once, for a client who insisted we use it, and it was the worst experience of my company's life. It only made us use bold on all our documents which proudly states, "No JQuery!".

On the one hand, Microsoft hands over other people's mail to the NSA but, when asked to hand over their own mail, they fight for the rights of free people everywhere. Hiding your mail overseas does not change the anything and I don&#x2

Can anyone explain to me why stories like this are on HN?

These are people who are charged with wanting to kill people and otherwise destroy the USA. There is no shame in locking people up who want to do that, though you can disagree with the charges all you want.

I question the validity of this article. How would anyone know who the agents were? It's not like the CIA publishes a list. I doubt they used their real names.

Yeah. They would never do torture and the like in other countries ... would they?

I forgot the count but it was between 10 and 20 eyewitness accounts and direct interviews by the grand jury state Brown charged at the officer. It's obvious you didn't look at any of the documents or read any of the online article

The reason is that you are more likely to hit the target rather than what some propose, that they should just wound him in the kneecap, an almost impossibility.

He charged the officer and was shot once. Then he charged again and was shot again. Then, he came within 10 feet to tackle the officer and that was when he was killed. This was not 10 (or so) consecutive shots. If the first shots didn'

I forgot to mention that. He applied at large and small companies but, the kicker is, he's all set for retirement, doesn't need the money, and only wants to bring in about $20K to $30K so he can help fund a non-profit he likes.

One of my neighbors is 62 and brilliant. He's worked at Pixar and Silicon Graphics. He cranked out web sites for sites you probably go to. He lost his last job when the company went under. He now applies for jobs all over town and neve

Yeah they would never do that in Russia or China.

That's an excuse and not a reason. The real reason is to watch it for free. Nothing else.

Step one should be to get it out of your head that vim is hard or hard to learn. Sitting with my son, years ago, I got him doing simple editing of files for me proficiently in less than five minutes. Deleting words and lines and selecting w

It's interesting to watch the commentors to your post say the way to fix the problems with tools is with a tool to fix the tool which is at least one of the issues outlined in the article.

>We’re responding to the burden and cost of onerous financial reporting and tax filing requirements that are neither fair nor just. I would swear it was a joke article but apparently he's serious. It takes all kinds to make a world.

You're right but at least I'm not stupid.

I think I should collect a bunch of quotes espousing the virtues of XML and XSLT and put them on a web site so people can link to them.

When Firefox was version 0.9 (2003?), I said it would take a large chunk out of IE's 95% market share and IE would become an also ran browser. I also said, later, that iPhones and iPads would take over mobile and dominate the internet
