Nah, the "partial" implementations are all highly compatible with the current spec (which chrome implements), and it's not much more polyfill to achieve solid cross-browser compat.

Thanks! I added a bookmarklet of the original code to the site- I know you're legit, but I'm always wary of encouraging people to load random external JS via a bookmarklet.

I wrote some JS to add keyboard controls to the map, because clicking and dragging is for suckers. http://www.potch.me/blog/press-and-hold.html

The distinguishing factor in this era of the Web is that now acquisitions are treated with dismay rather than celebration. Web 3.0 is much more cynical toward the big corporations (and in my opinion, rightly so).

Hello- Mozilla employee here, though not a Firefox developer. The good news is it's easy to change how we apply updates from completely silent to "download and choose" to "only check when I tell you". The bad news is, unlike many situations

My advice? Take the layers of middle managers who have been there for years, give them their gumball machines or espresso makers, offer to buy out a percentage of their long-underwater options, and make them promise to go work somewhere els

I think JS is a good language, but I am probably not in my right mind, so touché.

If the only factor in your market's efficiency is price charged, then this is true. The real market has other factors like satisfaction/willingness to repeat a transaction (for both sides of the party), opportunities for disruption of your

I wish people who have written HTML for years would play around with this if for no other reason then to learn what all the new semantics of HTML5 are.

Have you considered not personally flaming the original authors in public?

IMO, LESS's strength is that its implementation is JavaScript. Allowing for real-time compilation during authoring in-browser is great, and coupled with uglifyjs and cleancss (also js) allows for a single dependency during our build stage.

Nothing, actually! It's already in our Nightly builds, and will be appearing in Aurora some time this week. You can grab Nightly at http://nightly.mozilla.org

"Modern Web Development" does not mean "Works in Webkit", and it does a disservice to future/novice developers to reinforce that notion. What's dominant now was not in the not-too-distant past, and may not be in the not-too-distant future.

He's very particular about how this symbol should and shouldn't be displayed. Don't think that's a bad thing, but it's interesting.

The author is either a robot or speaks English as a second language. There are a ton of factual inaccuracies that aren't present in the linked source material.

Glad to see Lyons getting in on the conversation. And by conversation I mean grab for pageviews.

My complaint is not that -webkit CSS extensions are bad. I love how fast the browsers move. It's that people aren't careful to make sure they use all the prefixes when they're available. It's an education problem, but people using CSS prepr

I interpret this as a call to use innovation and creativity to produce something constructively that will bring Hollywood the fear, and I approve 100%.

I work at Mozilla, and the atmosphere between us and Chrome is not the high-stakes cage match people would have it be. At a fundamental level there's only so much market share, but at an engineer-level, we're insulated from such corporate p

The hopeful part of me loves this because I truly believe the web stack is a truly democratizing technology, and has tremendous accessibility. The cynical side of me also loves this because I like watching PL bikeshedders rage.

Goodwill? Do you think Google's shareholders get warm fuzzies when they see the news of this deal? This arrangement sends Google large amounts of traffic, from which they derive significant financial value. Stop calling this charity, it's

The open governance of the Mozilla project is not subject to the sort of back-room dealings you imply. (Disclosure: I work for Mozilla, but have no knowledge of the inner-workings of the new deal.)
