Mixpanel had some downtime 2 days ago, from 22:59 until 23:23 UTC according to our error logs. It might have only been for API users, but downtime nonetheless. It's certainly possible it was scheduled, but it's not clear where that downtime

Very nice. This brought back some memories of something similar I wrote many years ago[1]. I don't even dare look at that code now :) [1] http://freecode.com/projects/decked

In my experience, Opera gets significant usage in non-English-speaking countries. I read at one point (several years ago, so grain of salt) that 25% of Russian users were using Opera. That said, our own traffic shows 0.80% Opera users, whic

That isn't official documentation as far as I can tell, though. I don't think I should need to read 5 chapters into a separate book for something so seemingly fundamental. IMO, this is important enough information that it should be mentione

Honest question - where would someone with no Mongo experience typically discover that?

And Erlang got that from Prolog, which certainly could have taken it in turn from something even earlier.

I wish they would spend resources on being as fast as they used to be. Pushing and pulling has become slower and slower over the past couple of years.

Using semicolons or not in javascript is just another holy war a la vim vs. emacs, apple vs. google, etc. You'll find people who are passionate on both sides of the fence.

What about old versions? Taking the jQuery url, and changing it to the version previous to the newest release (1.7.2), 404s on me. This is a showstopper. http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery-1.... - ok http://cdnjs.c

Oj[1] benchmarks significantly faster, but I'm not clear if it's usable outside of a Ruby environment, as I am not aware of any non-gem distributions. [1] http://www.ohler.com/oj/

Code maintenance isn't free. An unmaintainable codebase can easily kill a project after awhile.

Yeah, that's one of the first steps if a selection benchmarks slowly. I just dislike adding complexity in any form. It adds up so quickly in complex software.

It's a small difference, but these small differences version after version add up to a lot of nickels. As I mentioned in another comment, increasing performance for ID selection (which is already much, much faster than other types) at the e

by mpd 14y ago
I'm seeing the same but because ID selection is already 2 orders of magnitude faster than any other type, the net win here is significantly reduced. The rich are just getting richer.

I use class selection most often, so any slowdown there is a cause of concern for me. The other slowdowns are not as big of a deal, providing it means speedups in more important places.

by mpd 14y ago
According to a few runs of this benchmark, a number of these tests are slower in 1.8, particularly selecting by class. That's rather off-putting. I hope it's just me. Using Chrome 21.0.1180.57 on OSX.

Looks interesting, but I can't seem to find a list of supported browsers. Am I just blind?

Working in, and having lived in SOMA, I'll take Burger Joint over either of those. I'd almost take McDonalds over Brick House. Little Skillet now has a burger as well that's not bad.

Stipple went with Rails for the sole reason that we were able to iterate and release very quickly in the beginning when I was the only one coding on it, and my expertise is in Ruby and Rails. We're now heavily Backbone-based on the frontend

and XMLHttpRequest came from IE. Do you see where I'm going here?

The important metric is how much of a chunk they are to your business. You shouldn't care if some other site (or all other sites!) have significant traffic from such old browsers. Measure your traffic.

Then they will be left in the past. It's unreasonable to expect me to hold my own product back because of lazy corp IT depts. Unless they are contributing more revenue than it takes to support them, screw them. For me at least, this is not

Unless users of oldIE versions contribute more revenue than it takes to support them (which is obviously app/site-specific), screw them. It's simple economics.

Did you read the article? 1.9 will keep oldIE support, get minor updates, and be API-compatible with 2.0.
