A notepad will persist your code and allow you to edit it easily, including newlines and tabs. It will also allow you to undo/redo. Try FireBug to see what I mean. Yes, in Chrome you can technically hit "Shift+Enter" anytime you want a li

The one flaw is lack of a persistent, multiple-line JS editor in the Console. I will boot FireBug just to use that.

I decided on a logarithmic weighted bayesian ranking. I read about the typical bayesian ranking (where you have some sort of minimal required number of reviews), then modified the it to work with power-curve distributed sets of data (as #r

"Done is better than perfect" is brilliant. It is motivational, succinct, and easy to believe. From my particularly context of a side project with no real deadlines, however, I can have perfect if I want to. There's no race against the

It's hard to generalize. I think the amount of perfection I demand in a solution is proportional to some combination of its importance and my interest in it. I have no trouble putting in place simple, hacky solutions with the intent of ch

Even within the context your product, surely there are cases where you're presented with a problem that can be solved with several different depths of thoroughness. How do you, generally, choose a solution which optimizes for, success, tim

Your company, Suitey, spams craigslist. While looking for an apt a few months ago, I'd come across postings several times a day matching the specific criteria I was looking for. They'd all look like decent opportunities, but upon further i

Yes. So it goes -- that's why they are side businesses. Another thought: sometimes dependency on Google is a good thing.

Curiosity. Just this minute I started working on a "Scroll Wheel Detector" javascript because I wondered what % of people use scrollwheels to scroll.

Seems like a good way to calibrate is to have the client cache a file from your targets list (you can cachebust by adding "?some_random_junk" at the end). Then, see how long it takes to get a hit. Better yet, do this for each target URL.

Why the need for a "sub-ms" timer implementation? Just do a while loop and constantly check for the SOP exception (or for Xms to have elapsed). Set a timeout between checking URLs. The ~10ms blocking of each URL check will not be noticeab

I cannot be consistent with apples to oranges. If I required a specificity of 10 feet in my region selection, what then would be the "consistent" specificity of the rent slider? $1, $10, $100? Also, inconsistent requirements != inconsisten

I hate the domain registration system as a whole, but I love the idea of TLDs. It's likely my anger is misplaced since I scarcely understand the business of it, but I find it infuriating that most ".com" domain names are taken by squatters

I agree that Chrome's dev tools are faster and crash less. I also find them more visually appealing. I wouldn't say they are better than Firebug, though... there are a few kinks they need to work out. One of them is console.log(): (fu

Dealing with breakpoints is a very time consuming process. In my opinion, a better workaround is to have a "log" function which wraps console.log(), and clones any objects if the browser is Chrome or Safari.
