The cookie monster only goes after people with lots of cookies, especially when they don't even realize they have them. Unfortunately, there's still no NoScript for Chrome :(.

The problem is that FPTP mathematically guarantees a 2 party system in a steady state. So long as you own the 2 parties, you effectively own the government. What's worse is that it also actively works against additional parties. We als

There's nothing really wrong with RPC-like APIs. They're often much simpler to use in modern web development, for developers with access to documentation. Hyperlinking has a few benefits, the biggest being discoverability without the need f

That was just caused by me not processing input properly. I've set up a proper rendering loop here and now only render the most recent mouse position on each frame: http://jsfiddle.net/eymAS/84/ It's better, but still limited to 60fps, an

Backbone uses jQuery's event delegation, so there should've been minor differences between the two cases you describe, mostly with how listening to the Models/Collections worked. Additionally, it sounds like you might've been binding a rend

Yes. This is precisely the problem. The inheritance model used by Backbone will be significantly more performant in terms of method calls, in general, because it doesn't implement a `super` concept. The construction should also favor Backbo

It certainly doesn't imply you're being truthful. Glassdoor also suffers from the same problem. It's voluntary, unverifiable data. Using it as a source does not help your credibility.

I found CLRS's explanation of divide and conquer gives a very intuitive understanding of what a logarithmic time algorithm is doing and why it runs in logarithmic time. A little bit of nitpicking on the accepted answer: the list seems to im

Yep. Here's a version without using 3d (no layers generated for the followers): http://jsfiddle.net/eymAS/29/ The layout/composition/painting etc is taking roughly 5x longer now. Chrome is smart enough to do it all just once, though, so i

People generally mean their manipulation of DOM is effectively slow. That's a perfectly accurate statement, but the problem is calling the DOM slow as a result. The real culprit is often that doing stupid things with the DOM cause style rec

The parent's comment was that it is essentially infeasible to have a single div follow the cursor due to performance issues with the DOM. The fiddle includes 160 divs and opacity to demonstrate that that claim is false. There's an awful lot

Like this? http://jsfiddle.net/eymAS/2/ The DOM is faster than almost everyone believes. It's not 2001 anymore, guys. Web components solve a lot of major problems, but it has little to do with DOM/CSS performance and more to do with encap

Cool article. I'm a big fan of noQuery. One thing you could improve is regarding appending, using insertAdjacentHTML instead of constructing the DOM manually in a document fragment. It's significantly less code and should perform better.

This is less an issue with "very small examples" and more an issue of people throwing the practices out when they build more complex software. Highly performant JS ends up looking a lot like C, and most of the off-the-shelf JS libraries tha

A "web component" is some stand-alone combination of HTML/CSS/JS that does some thing. It should not conflict with the application that uses it in any way. It should, however, allow the application to communicate with it (to modify its stat

I wouldn't use ExtJS as an example of how to do anything right. Nothing (no frameworks, no previous standards, not even plugins) has ever enabled true component-level sandboxing within the same document. This is just HTML/CSS/JS that is san

The approach would be to fix an upper bound on memory and to enumerate all possible state, running the program each time and determining if all cases terminate or if any runs forever? I think the real crux of the problem is that you can't d
