I'm surprised this feature wasn't already built in, considering that Web Workers has been around as an API for years now.

I think it is unrelated to their mass collection of data. But I also think this is an argument for why people put up with these services. It's not that they accept privacy infringement, it's that they are willing to put up with it

It's not at all easier, that's why workers want to unionize in the first place. US companies are afraid of unions because the power accumulated by the union makes it harder for the company to deal with workers.

Not a chance. That is who they are. The only good site in the Gawker network is Lifehacker. At least they still remain objective, to say nothing about Deadspin and Jezebel. I personally hope unionizing accelerates their decline into insolve

For every "rule", like the bystander effect, there's an exception. You, my friend, are the exception. You don't see the logic because you are that "someone else" that people expect is going to help.

Punctual and inefficient with time sounds like the US too. Must be the shared English heritage.

Ack, having an auto-play video does not make for a good website in my opinion!

I have a similar experience. I also started out with perl in high school. When I started going to University, I sought out a tech job to provide myself with some supplemental income. Started out as an intern (this is where the luck came in)

I think that he inexplicably went back shows how hard it is to quit. They are facing immense pressure from family and management to not quit, and working long hours like that drains them of the mental resources they need to resist.

This makes me wonder why they're asking one guy to do the work of two or three people. If it's really that simple, and doesn't require specialized skills, there are plenty of archaeology and anthropolgy grads out there, reali

When did Miami get that high?? I grew up in an immigrant family of four in Miami. One, we never paid rent anywhere close to that, and two, we wouldn't have been able to afford it, at all. Not the Miami I remember.

I would say not having that UI lag while doing a huge cpu-bound task would be worth it in production.

Looks like the OP's linked example does not use this, since the sort reported that it took longer when using web workers than when it didn't use web workers, at least a full second longer. I wonder how much performance would impro

Don't worry, with the kind of shaming we're seeing in these comments, homophobic jokes and plain homophobia will be going underground sooner than you think!

Wasn't ineffective for me. I think the final work would come out nothing like how I want it if I didn't put in conscious effort.

Heh, if you can actually get people to do all of that, it will be $150 well spent.

The answers are "sometimes" and "it depends." I'm of the opinion that research dollars should go towards more cost-effective treatments. Therapy appointments are in general pretty expensive, both in actual cost and

You would stand a good chance of waiting a lot longer to get that work done, but as mrcold said, testing a solution doesn't cost much. If you're willing to wait for the solution to a problem, getting work done through code exercis

The thing is, I have an nVidia card and ACU doesn't even run on it. It feels like they are not only trying to deter people from buying AMD, but that they are also trying to deter people from buying lower tier nVidia cards. I have to ge

I wouldn't look at it so cynically. The man might be in the Republican Party, but like his father, he is a man of personal ideals, not one to tow the party line.

I gave up on the sign-up. Too much of a hassle choosing a password to their specifications. It's a stoicism course, not a freakin' bank account.

I'm not on board with the other reply to this comment, but to me stoicism means the ability to handle stress better, staying calm through it rather than getting overwhelmed. Mindfulness helps with this by giving you awareness of your t

I think for it to kill the site, there has to be a replacement waiting in the wings. Digg faded under much more innocent circumstances because Reddit was gaining in popularity. But, this crackdown might prompt somebody out there to launch a

Agree with this. The dev console in Firefox is better than Firebug now for me.

That ad was terrible. I don't normally visit thenextweb.com, and I for sure will not be going back.

For me, it wasn't just desktop chrome crashing. Mobile chrome also crashed and lost all my tabs occasionally. But on desktop chrome, what really drove me away was how bad it got using on Ubuntu running in a virtual box. I'm unable

I feel like the notion that society teaches boys to bottle up their feelings is more of a myth the internet perpetuates than a reflection of reality. We don't send these messages to boys. The messages we send is that they should be ash

It really is, and I do think most of the time it's the crowd being manipulated into a rage. When you see in the news someone demanding an apology from someone else or from a corporation, online shaming and crowd morality is what makes
