John Resig did a really cool series[1][2][3] of deep-dive posts into optimization in JS for mobile, which covered tries (among others) -- it was the first I'd heard of them. Fascinating read. 1. http://ejohn.org/blog&#x

Yeah I really don't see this going anywhere, it seems more like a PR move by the NFL mated to a PR campaign from Uber. NFL players are some of the highest-paid in any profession in the world, most of which could rent a limo for the ent

That technique is exceedingly inefficient (download-wise) though, at least if your markup is anything but trivial.

It is pretty refreshing to load a page and have it usable within fractions of a second, instead of it having to go and fetch an untold number of external scripts, initialize and create the widgets and objects, etc. Not to mention that sites

Yes, I know how they're derived...I had both 4h lectures + 0h labs and 3h lectures + 1h labs, and that's a good example of how arbitrary it really is. Even for subjects as closely aligned as biology, chemistry, and physics, there&

I just see such a strict requirement, as well as the daily quizzes and attendance grades in the OP's link, as evidence of someone abusing their power in a very destructive way. These are young adults, treat them like such. If they are

One of the top reasons I gave up on "college" -- I'm paying for an education, so it'd be nice to be taught by, y'know, an educator . Someone who wants to teach, who enjoys their craft so much that they're exci

Thanks for the info! That's certainly their prerogative, and as long as they provide good content it shouldn't matter too much I guess (it's easy enough for me to fix on my end).

[off-topic] The text on the page is all exceedingly large, is that intentional? It looks like I'm being served a mobile version on my desktop. I can read the title from 20' away, and the paragraph text from 8'. It only looks

I'd guess because pockets. It's annoying to try and pull the phone out of your pocket, only to have it turn your pocket inside-out, thus dumping the contents of whatever else you had in there onto the floor.

You're really jumping the shark with your arguments. I'm only pointing out that the c64 had networking capabilities -- because he said it didn't. You're being exceedingly defensive and argumentative in this thread.

FYI, you can replace "watch?v=12345" to "/v/12345" to view videos without logging in (works for age-restricted content as well). As a bonus, the video fills the browser screen, and removes all the annoying &quo

Isn't that pretty much the M.O. of Angular? Not that it makes it right or wrong, but this just seems like a different take on the same (or similar) concepts.

Not a Googler either, but I can't believe it'd be anything like the forgiveness/permission dichotomy, since I believe they're all given explicit permission upfront. It's a part of the culture. Rather, I've alwa

Depends on what you want. Those are 2 of the more "opinionated" frameworks, in that they have a lot of fairly-strict rules that must be followed if you want things to go smoothly. On the other hand, there's frameworks like Ba

The OS is Windows, and Jenkins handles everything else just fine. It's just the Node projects that ever have issues. Of course, it's easier to blame the OS.
