I agree the content looks good, and so it should really be able to stand on its own merit. Thanks for updating it, I unflagged the post.

Fine, fine....I'll unflag :) Thanks for taking the time to update it.

It has everything to do with context, and the ultimate goal should be clarity for the reader. But, I also don't think you should ever compromise any non-trivial design for the worse to 'make it more readable'. Sometimes clever code can't be

I'm in agreement in that I believe, with all else being equal, every LoC increases your chances of initial bugs (and/or security vulnerabilities) and refactoring errors. It will also make the code take longer to mentally parse and interpret

For the past year or 2 I've been seeing more and more of them. However, I don't have any bookmarked, at least not yet. I found a pretty good time-waster[3] where I may end up with some. I found one here on HN[2] too....might be more. Also f

I have to admit, .io is probably one of the best geeky TLD's out there, so I can't fault you really. It just seems kind of trendy is all. > without sounding like we were trying to make a mid-90's Personal Home Page Product™ That's not a

Not sure yet how I feel about the .io bandwagon that seems to be going around; I think I mainly don't like taking a TLD that is specifically designated for a country and attempting to attach a different meaning to it. I just don't know if m

The more accurate claim would be: "DNS is for computers, not people", because that is actually true. URL's are for both, and so you see hints of both concerns represented. Once your routing passes a certain level of complexity, there is no

I think you're confusing social interactions and socializing , which are quite different in intent. While socializing requires social interaction, it's not the other way around, and social media feeds off of socializing. Perhaps I'm not

You know Resig isn't employed by Mozilla anymore, right? This is just a JS enthusiast (understatement of the year, perhaps) discussing a JS topic.

It's an easy way to avoid race conditions, say you have 2 ajax calls that are required to render your Main view. If either or both of the calls fail, you want to show a Default view. One answer would be to just do them synchronously, perhap

Also, the DOM. It's a sort of blackbox that has a mind [implementation] of its own, and if you don't treat it as such and/or if your code isn't bullet-proof (and honestly, most code isn't) then you'll get exceptions from even routine and mu

I go back & forth with HN, the reason being that I often star items that I'll want to follow-up on later. For instance, if I read something at home that I want to share with the crew at work, I'll star it. Likewise, if I come across som

Thanks for the clarification; luckily (?) I live in TX where we don't have state income tax, and so I forget that. Agreed about the "paying taxes on paying taxes", and of course the general idea of there being a for-profit industry centered

Anyone know of a decent user-tracking / analytics package that isn't SaaS? And isn't log-based, like Urchin (which I just discovered is yet another victim of Googlicide[1])? My app is in dire need of user-tracking and analytics, but it's a

Scary because it takes a cry to the internet to get it corrected. While the issue of being declared dead is somewhat innocuous, it could've been much worse -- what if her dad was a convicted sexual offender, and Google chose to associate th

I guess that's the disconnect, because I do consider my email address secret -- since it is 1/2 of the information required to access my Google account, I take great measures to make sure that outside parties never see it (as best I can). I
