I've come across aspects of this functionality before in a couple of languages now, even psql, however looking at this JavaScript way of doing it, I have to question whether it helps code readability or hurts it. edit: dyslexia

Javascript performing well on mobile is NOT magic, its just good engineering. The big problem I see with Firefox OS is that it is not going to take much to make the entire "App Store" full of app's that perform horribly, and in return that

Makes plenty of sense to me. If you actually sit down and think of it from a entrepreneur point of view as opposed to a corporate point of view, it's pretty clear that more often than not, the risk proposition is just not worth it, and the

I don't believe for a second this has been a plan in the making for over 8 years and if it was, it was just to keep control of his company, nothing more, not an overly elaborate plan specially designed to keep stockholders at bay when faceb

All the context that is needed is said in the first sentence. To claim this was facebook's biggest mistake is surely one of the most ridiculous things i've ever seen or heard the guy say. edit: Mark Zuckerberg has his head up his arse :-)

That is facebook's biggest mistake? Is he blind or just wilfully ignorant?

Completely understand where you are coming from, knowledge is power after all! I just don't understand how your going to get that knowledge if you avoid large areas of importance in every language you come across. Avoiding prototypes and cl

I somewhat agree with your points. You can't just explain every single design pattern available in any given language and then say, you now know how to write that language "The right way!". Thats the feeling I got from this, it just goes in

The verbose and non-transparent nature of Java should not deter you from learning and using object orientated programming in other environments, especially since these concepts had already been explored decades before Java existed. Object o

What is your definition of fast? Javascript performance has come a long way since the days of IE6. Saying that node.js is more difficult to work with than Python is just a matter of perspective isn't it? Like any technology, in the hands of

The entire post was an opinionated piece of crap based on the author's opinion that anything to do with callbacks are evil. I couldn't help but see in the comments that the author states that avoiding callback hell in node.js is somehow dif

I understand that IE9 uses the GPU to render the DOM. That would help vastly with things like this, unfortunately it does little for its JavaScript performance, but since this page doesn't seem to execute any JavaScript during scrolling (i

Thats fascinating that Chrome on Android is capable of delivering the desktop experience of this concept even with the limited hardware specs of the Galaxy Tab. I wonder whats so different under the hood of Safari Mobile on iOS 5 vs Chrome

Not sure. My safari is completely broken at the moment (my fault!)

I believe that. San Fransisco is an amazing place full of amazing people. Unfortunately over here in Australia, I suspect it is just the general state of any industry involving customer service. When going to many of the restaurants in Sydn

I don't understand what this does that can't already be done a hell of a lot better with the combo of firefox/firebug and the web developer toolbar? What is the value proposition here? Perhaps I'm missing something but it just looks like a

Interesting design concept - but a horrible implementation of it. You can't just go and load a thousand divs and not expect a wide variety of performance issues across all the different platforms. You need to have a tile manager or somethin

Yep, I actually migrated from a small country town out west to sydney BECAUSE of the commuting. Now i'm thinking I just need to move to a country that isn't so ridiculous when it comes to living costs.

by se85 14y ago
This is correct. Its definitely not a 1 to 1 comparison because of the crazy cost of living here. Theres also the jump in the amount you get taxed (disregarding additional things we have to pay for such as private health care/medicare levy,

They would have been better off not offering this feature at all, then half assing it like they have. My account apparently has 0 diggs and 0 comments. Seeing that some people are getting other peoples stories and comments in their exports.

My taste of their return policy involved me taking back my busted iphone 4 that was 3 months old into the Apple store expecting a good outcome, like I always hear on the internet, instead I was accused of being a liar and that the phone was

Wow, I never thought it would be possible to use the webkit developer tools for a completely different technology stack to such an extent. Impressive to say the least.

Come on people, she is a con artist! She deserved every last bit of it, and then some. If only more con artists got destroyed like this in public, the world would be a better place for sure.

Yeah I really have to agree with you on this one. There is a reason why programming chops are not usually measured in lines of code. In my opinion the "art" of programming is to keep things simple yet still solve the complex problems. I'd s

I live in Sydney Australia, so to me these prices look fairly reasonable in comparison. To give some of you non-aussies an example... The average price for 2 bedroom victorian era terraces (hundred year old plus buildings) with next to no r

Yep. I am a designer/UXer and programmer, so I understand the art behind building software from both sides, believe me. I have even had to port parts of UIViewAnimation over to JavaScript to enable controllable touch scrolling on both left
