For comparision, YUI offers a similar widget: Dial. "It's like a real-world, analog volume control dial, but with much finer UI control." http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/dial/

Gathering status is important. Rands explains that engineers are typically using other tools in their job that can do that kind of reporting. A manager's job is to synthesize status from your distributed journal of bug closures, emails, wik

I joined and thus relocated cross-country to work for Yahoo in mid-2008, when Microsoft was surely going to screw my life up. If you'd like that perspective, shoot me an message: my email address is in my profile.

This technique changes: - Downloading and parsing metadata about modules YUI can load (eliminated) - Calculating what files to download based on the metadata (moved to the server) These tasks are usually started by the script loader inside

When you visit search.yahoo.com, some lazy-loaded JavaScript resources are served from a Node.js server. That server uses YUI server-side to calculate JS module dependencies for that page's autocomplete feature. Since the response is very c

If you have slow tests that are hard to write, you're already in trouble. For example: my recent Node.js projects use Vows. More complicated test details are encouraged to become small functions that are reused over and over. (Vows calls th

This idea disappoints me. The system-wide Control-Command-D dictionary works in Twitter for Mac: That doesn't work in apps written in almost-facsimiles of Cocoa. That's only one example, but these's always something quirky about these repli

Simulated-browser tests are more like smoke tests. It's an approximation of the environment you're running tests in. Zombie and other simulated-browser systems can be useful because they're faster and convenient, but especially because they

But your laptop isn't your phone. I don't think Eclipse would run very well on my phone's relatively weak ARM core: it barely keeps up on my 2008 MacBook Air.

No. Those features should not be in the HTML markup if they are bonuses that require JavaScript. At least, they must be hidden until its script loads. But you shouldn't have to hide everything. I'm pretty happy browsers don't show a big "Lo

My point was that Google solves this problem the wrong way. Instead of making two interfaces, they should make one interface. If JavaScript hasn't loaded yet (or if it's disabled), the majority of the interface can still be available immedi

Even if your users have JavaScript enabled, they still need to download and run it before using your complex application. Consider GMail. How awesome would it be if you didn't have to wait for its "Loading..." progress bar? It takes 2-4 sec

Good point. I was trying to convey that, taken all together, the code was an unmaintainable mess of spaghetti. It was difficult to read and it was difficult to change. When done right, all of those things have a place. My point is usually (
