I guess it appears only if you have a certain amount of karma.

1) One thing less to carry around 2) The credit card gives away data that can be used for fraud. Your phone does not have to do that.

Interesting. In fact, I do not remember that. I started using the internet some time in the 90s. I never used Compuserve nor AOL. I never heard about Prodigy.

Bitcoin might be a way around this. Also it might not be necessary for the involved parties to get together. They could release different protocols. And then the lesser used will be forgotten (like gopher is forgotten today) and the more fr

"size differences are illusory" So two things standing next to each other are the same size as one thing alone? Damn hard to imagine. I would think "size" does not really "exist" but is a man made concept. And

You might be right. The traffic share of ipads is in the one digit range. I just looked at the stats of a high traffic website. The ipad accounts for 5% of the traffic. However, when I want to look at a website to see how the designer plann

I think the pages are quite beautiful. But I agree about the scrolling. Even on an ipad, which I think is the standard device these days, the scrolling is broken at times. Sometimes I swipe up and a new page scrolls in. Ok. Sometimes I sw

Hmm... "music" has a green SEO score. I would think "music" is not exactly a niche keyword, right? Probably because it has a PR0 page on top?

An application can do all kinds of shit, can't it? It could probably replace your Browsers icon with an icon that starts a custom version of your Browser which uploads everything you type to some server.

Don't know about Win7, but Win8 has one. You just have to disable the "combine" setting and you have a taskbar with one entry per window.

If Unity is not aimed at tablets, then why does it have no taskbar? What reason except to save real estate could there be? Who does not want to be able to see which windows he has currently open?

Sure. But I want to close the buffer AND the tab. :bd only closes the tab if there are multiple tabs open. It does not close the tab when its the last tab before the file explorer: 1) in the shell run "vim ." 2) hit "t"

by itry 12y ago
Problem with ":bd" or ":bdel" is that it leaves open the last tab: 1) in the shell run "vim ." 2) hit "t" on a file 3) type ":bdel<enter>" The tab is still open.

Does anybody know how to really close a tab in vim? When I type t on a file to open it in a tab and then type :q, it looks like ist closed. But when I type :ls I see that its still open.

Im sceptical. You know why? You wrote all this text instead of giving me a real world example and said "look, this would be shitty without a 2-way-data-binding-library".

by itry 12y ago
Well, you can argue if 5 dependencies and 123 kilobytes of code is much or not. But what does it bring to the table? Your "sub-total" example would just need a normal javascript event handler. Lets say we are uber lazy and use jqu

> One possible use case Sure, one can think up use cases. But I never had one. Thats why I asked for real world examples where 2-way-binding libraries are used.

Is it really more painless to add way.js and its dependencies (jquery.js, underscore.js, underscore.json.js, form2js.js and js2form.js) to your page then to simply add a plain javascript eventhandler to the field you want to validate?
