Your point is a good one. However just to interject tangentially, hubris is demonstrably not a 21st century phenomenon, nor imho will it cease to be a phenomenon in any future period of human existence. "Peaks of knowledge" have existed thr

Alternatively, we could stand on the shoulders of giants. I've used the easyXDM library to abstract away cross domain hassle in a couple of large projects and am surprised it doesn't seem to be more widely known of. https://github.com/oyvi

I started looking into libraries for a Node-based model layer this weekend. The two most interesting after my initial reading about are Tubbs [1] and Resourceful [2]. I won't have a chance to actually play with them properly until this week

I wonder how much global warming can be accounted for by CPU cycles spent needlessly executing instructions from undisplayed web pages? If every website started using the Page Visibility API, we could save the planet! This library looks goo

That definitely seems like the common-sense approach. There was an interesting article posted on here recently though, which argued that API versioning is an anti-pattern. It makes some good points, although I'm not sure I entirely agree wi

Fair play to him for wanting to tackle the issue, but this just seems like an unsolvable problem to me. Until there are cures for spite and bigotry, trolls will exist on the internet.

Strongly agree. To me the majority of slides read like one big strawman, I didn't realise the myths were even myths. Or, in a couple of cases, what they attribute to performance concerns are things I'd attribute to good programming style fo

I'm building a public API in my current job and, a few weeks ago, I was scouting around for the good API design advice. Absolutely far and away the best resource that I found was this Google TechTalk by Joshua Bloch: http://www.youtube.com

I'm not sure that them pushing C++ equates to a switch away from .NET and managed code. What I take from it is that they're keen to foster a rich development eco-system on their platforms and they think that programming language diversity i

I've contributed to a few small open-source projects myself in the past and can only remember polite, well-mannered people in the associated communities. However I think the key point is that those were very small projects, with equally sma
