These days I'd prefer a plugin template that doesn't infect the jQuery namespace by default (and is AMD compatible) so I can use it with a module loader: var borderize = require('jquery.borderize'); ... borderize

Also be aware that people like myself that don't know much about Scala, but are trying to keep it on their radar, may upvote such a post just to try and see where the comment thread goes and see if there are good insights from the defe

I think you're right to make this distinction. Titanium doesn't belong in the 'wrappers' family and would be better grouped with other 'cross-platform native' solutions like Xamarin [1], perhaps a 4th category

To be fair, that's a pretty odd way to write jQuery, which is designed to be chained. It could be rewritten as: $('.nH .if') .children().eq(1) .children() .children().eq(1) .children().eq(1) B

Yes I meant to come back to this comment and explain why people should watch it. What you said!

Certainly! I can save the email and give you the short answer that I should have articulated better in my comment (apologies). Basically when I'm browsing within a single pack, any sort of pagination seems unnecessary. I tend to agree

Hmm I hadn't noticed that, you still seem to be able to download the icons individually/bundled though by clicking on the download link on each icon.

Also see FlatIcon [1] which has 1000s of icons. I've been especially impressed by their download flow. Only negative is the pagination, which is a bit pants. [1] http://www.flaticon.com

Update, in case anyone refers back to this thread I spotted 3 more offending plugins today, still up on his site class.pm, that's 7 so far that he appears to have taken from CodeCanyon and is passing off as his own. I've emailed

The only points of yours I agree with are the claims of 'price tag of zero' and 'mind-blowing performance'. The rest seem to be apples/oranges comparisons and being intentionally obtuse, e.g. as to what 'portab

Sample size of 1 etc, this is just my experience. I personally built a single page application about 2 years ago that worked in IE8, thanks to jQuery and the ecosystem of the time. jQuery, jQuery UI, various plugins incl. jsTree & Dat

Understood. I'd just question if it needed JS - if JS actually added to the UX and outweighed the considerable dev cost.

by nilliams 13y ago
Opinion: nobody should be shipping any JS to oldIE, period. Their JS engines are woeful. Even if you can get something app-like (the kind of thing you would use dart for) to work , your app won't scale w.r.t. perf so you're pai

Obligatory CoffeeScript version: http://jsfiddle.net/hYfN3/759/ (Uses a regexp instead of `with` statement as CoffeeScript forbids with).

Only a win if you have some reason to believe your code will be any less buggy when you inevitably start on your own ad-hoc reimplementations of those abstractions.

Well, there really is a difference between people who are reinventing wheels for good (because they really know their shit) and people who are doing it out of ignorance. I think it's usually fairly easy to tell which person is which. (

I'm not just being purposefully obtuse here. When read in the context of his upstream comments, I don't think we can make any assumptions as to what he meant.

If a person can backup or explain their use of terms like 'the design perspective' with appropriate nuances, it's not bullshit. If they can't, then sure, they're bullshitting you. That's not to say the simplifi

I think you've hit the nail on the head with all of these. Regarding 2) there were several other grammatical errors, the second sentence for example. "It simple".
