Other ways to move the web forward: stop supporting Internet Explorer altogether. Agreed, thank you! I'm pretty close to launching a web app I've been developing over the past 6 months or so; I've decided not to support any version of IE

Are you sure you're clearing the query cache before each test run? In all my test cases, your statement proves false, by a long shot. Questions: 1) What version of MySQL are you testing on? 2) What storage engine are the relevant tables

Actually, I'm seeing that MySQL uses any index available to do count([asterisk]), even if there isn't a where clause. For example, I just ran the following queries on a WordPress database: [1] select count(object_id) from wp_term_relations

A lot of the answers are subective, that's b/c, as individuals, our tolerances vary so much. So regardless of what we say, you're still likely to experience burn out (if you haven't already). I know when I'm burned out when I have no motiva

Adobe doesn't need to point the finger at anyone, they only need to look as far as their own product to see why a company so focused on user experience and security, like Apple, would decide against it. Adobe never seemed to take Flash on

Well stated. I tend to look at it in a similar way, but phrased differently: When you decide to work from home vs. in an office, neither is better or worse, you're simply trading one set of problems for another. For example, you brought u

The graph the title links to is a little dated, it only cites stats up to July 2011. Here's a more up to date graph citing stats up to October 2011: http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-monthly-200809-201110 The curves are even more rev

I'm not an expert in JavaScript... Given that you said that, and that the problem you hit is a common pitfall for Javascript developers (especially if you're not very seasoned with the language), I'd strongly recommend picking up a copy o

The problem is that Ubuntu is not focusing on the fundamentals and they're not putting enough money into testing. Agreed. As an example, if Ubuntu had instead teamed up with Adobe, Mozilla (for Firefox), and Google (for Chrome), and shipp

Definitely! It sounds like he has genuine interest in helping people. The story he shared on why he's drawn to social media so much, b/c of the power it has to connect people in positive and non-predictive ways, was nice to hear, especial

Agreed, but those should be considered early weed out questions, or a segue into deeper topics. For example, appendChild and removeChild, it's almost obvious what they do, but ... 1) What implications do those have on DOM performance? 2)

Namespaces, as others have mentioned. The first question I had when I first encountered that as the Namespace operator was: "Why not the double colon operator?" Double colon is already being used for static member referencing, and in a few

+1 on wanting to keep the old desktop environment. I've been an Ubuntu user since 7.04. One of the biggest benefits was that the desktop environment stayed pretty consistent throughout the years. I always enjoyed upgrading b/c I got the b

"Firefox, on Linux at least, is busted. It’s busted so bad that it’s painful to use. And it’s been this way ever since Firefox 3 launched" I'm suprised I don't see posts like this more often, specifically about the Linux version. I've be

"Cost of doing business" ... which eventually winds up being factored in anyway. I prefer the transparency that comes with listing how much I'm charging for the estimate as a line item w/in it. If they choose not to move forward, then no
