Written sanely, it's only marginally slower; it's so close that it's inconsequential for 99% of uses.

I wonder if that code block does anything at all. var http = new XMLHttpRequest(); if (http != undefined) { ... } In what runtime would calling this constructor return undefined (or null, or false...), and yet not t

Implementation-specific email headers aren't new, and many providers have been leveraging them in one way or another -- probably since email itself came to be. Outlook is a great example here. It's basically just value-add's for the client.

I think it's natural as an initial reaction, but becomes unhealthy when obsessed over, whether it's an ex-boyfriend, Google, or even theism.

I thought Google was pretty heavily invested in the Eclipse ecosystem, I think they use it quite a bit internally (at least from what I can gather). Perhaps those efforts were more in the interest of supporting the community of developers w

Yes good point, for announcements Apple typically won't divulge a whole lot, but it's strategically important to drive the message (i.e. key features/capabilities), and then saving the rest for later. At least that's my observation, and I c

This sums up my experience with MS in general; conversations driven by marketing and nothing else. For many other tech companies it's a much lower marketing:info ratio. Google is fairly good about it, and Mozilla is pretty good, while Apple

You can shoot yourself in the foot in any language....have you ever tried Perl? Also, if you name your objects and functions like most anyone in CS would suggest, e.g. objects are nouns and functions are verbs, there really shouldn't be a d

Glad that I'm not alone in this. Though I'm no stranger to pedantry, this one is just being pedantic for pedantic's sake and really has no value, unless you really don't understand what JSON is....a string representation of a data-structure

Yes, the Crockford argument. Just because he said it doesn't make it true, though. I don't forget it, because calling a function and creating a new object are 2 totally different things. If one can't distinguish between those, then they sho

Eh, I'd chalk this up to "C# isn't JS". Just because 2 languages share a common syntactical lineage does not mean that they behave the same way.

You're misinterpreting the results. > operations per second (higher is better) Using `new` is in red, while using `Object.create` is in blue, and the red bars are markedly larger than the blue in all but a few cases. Thus, using `new` i

There is nothing wrong with `new` at all, and abiding to something just because some other [fallible] human says so couldn't be more wrong.

Educated guesses are one thing; exact "guesses" are quite another, and one has to wonder where the 'guessing' is pulling its data. Would it creep you out if I guess which month you were born in? Probably not. Would it creep you out if I gue

I don't trust them with my data. This stems back from a few years ago when they automatically created an account for me based on information that a 3rd party had provided. I don't know if they still do that, but it told me all I needed to k

I boycott them with the idea that I don't want any single company to become any sort of de facto resume & hiring service, which they already try to bill themselves as. Ostensibly, if you use their service, you don't need a resume or a l

Just speaking from the experience of my G1 phone, which had an LED that was software controlled. I guess they could set it up either way.

For one, it'd be easily disabled. Two, phone's and other digital cameras often don't have a recording LED, so why should this?

Regardless of the actual subject, it looks like an excellent analysis. I haven't verified the maths, but I like that he includes every possible calculation, source code, and external reference that was used. A very academic and data-driven

There really isn't much to this article. From the title, I thought it was going to discuss the problems that people face when they live paycheck-to-paycheck and/or near the poverty line, which is a story that's been told but bears repeating

Still, it's a common courtesy that if you downvote someone, you tell them why. I think most of us are here for hopefully enlightened discussions, driven by a yearning to learn, share, and explore various topics. We want to be taken seriousl

I hate just about anything and everything about MSOutlook, but this is one feature that I sorely miss in GMail. In MSO, at least if you have the option turned on (although I think it's on by default), you start a new list simply by typing "

Perhaps it's 2-fold: 1. if the site requires pop-ups to function, then wouldn't it be handy to have it in front of you? Few apps run this model anymore, but it used to be very prevalent. 2. to highlight the sites that use pop-ups in an unde

It's actually terrible about it, an addon is required and even those aren't fool-proof.
