Oh, sorry! I wasn't trying to go specific about the detail, just some general feeling I have towards jQuery. I guess I'd better explain why I feel so. I was experimenting with JavaScript a couple of years ago before jQuery/Prototype/etc too

I'm quite fond of Apple's font rendering and font design, esp. the Monoco monospace font. The way it looks in both TextMate and VIM is astonishing to me. No, the same font renders like a crap on Win/Linux/FreeType/Cairo/whatsoever ... Consi

Every passionate developer deserves an aluminum MacBook + an extremely big external screen with resolution at least 1920x1280. No, don't go for the plastic refurbs, even it saves you some bucks. In the long run you'll be much much happier.

"2gb ram on a PC is probably cheaper than 1gb ram on a Mac." No such difference if you swap yourself. Actually I got a used 1gb ram from a Mac and installed it on a PC.

Thanks for the info! I think the cookie/cache reason explained why virtually all major websites (millions hits/day) redirect naked domain to "www." subdomain. I also found the following info from here http://blog.bigcurl.de/2008/08/redirec

Thanks for the suggestion! Since I just start to build the site, I am not affected by the linking and ranking stuff. However I am interested in the following paragraph from the link you provided: "From a GAE google groups post (posted by Go

I'm a Python programmer. Definitely loved the indentation-based syntax -- so much cleaner and more readable than C-style syntax.

I switched from Linux to Mac last month. Definitely love OS X: I spent way less time tweaking the machine, so more time is put into real work. Everything works perfect. P.S. Anyone noticed the trend that apps developed on a Mac tends to be

any body benchmarked the performance of CorePy?

Reading the title, I initially thought it was something related to the electric car ... Anyway, I guess the problem is that most programmers have no clue of how to program GPU. Programming multi-core CPU is already very hard, and now comes

I would like Firefox to steal the one-process-per-tab feature of Chrome, desperately. Sometimes when I have too many tabs running in the background with just a single one stop responding, Firefox stalls for a couple of minutes ...

Hey the idea is cool! I recalled a similar tool for Chinese. It's actually a Firefox extension, allowing ones without a native IME to input Chinese chars in text fields. However, both typd.in and that plugin share a similar limitation: it's

That means you have to do F(x) TWICE, which is sometimes ineffective (when F(x) costs too much)

I think the problem of list comprehension is that it is not as flexible as combination of map() and filter(). For example, [F(x) for x if P(x)] is equivalent to map(F, filter(P, S)) but what about the equivalence of filte

what a hack! I LIKE this idea! It's neat! Look at this code I wrote for Project Euler. it checks if a sequence is "palindromic". A "palindromic" sequence reads the same both from left and from right. So the simple idea is to check from the
