And I believe it is. It does not support every single feature that jQuery and MooTools have, but you probably wouldn't say that jQuery is not fully featured because it lacks support for Cookies and color animation. It's true that

There are a lot of specialized features in jQuery that Minfied does not have. For example, the only way to register an event with Minified is using on(). jQuery has on() as well, but it also has a number specialized functions like 'cl

In the standard version on zeptojs.com? Just did a short search on the source code and can't find any 'define' invocations.

Frankly it is an arbitrary number, mostly. I started with the goal of having no more than 7 functions, because that's the number of functions the first version had. It didn't take long for me to figure out that this wasn't en

I thought that 'alternative to jQuery or MooTools' makes it very clear that it's just a library that offers similar functionality, especially since I mentioned two completely incompatible libraries. Unfortunately I don't

Personally I don't think it's worthwhile to use a large number of micro-libraries, because of the huge overhead that comes with it. Every library has slightly different naming conventions, you have to be sure that they play well w

What's funny is that it hardly makes any difference. If you feed the source code into Closure in advanced mode, the size is 9258 bytes pre-gzip and 4109 post-gzip. In simple mode, the numbers are 9267 pre-gzip and ... also 4109 post-g

Not at all. While some things use a similar syntax, Minified is not compatible with jQuery (and does not try to be).

My replacement for more advanced CSS features are the methods filter(), sub() and collect(). For example, instead of $('li:odd') you would write $('li').filter(function(v, index) { return index%2;}). But, admittedly, if

No, actually I wasn't really interested in that yet. I wouldn't expect it to be that bad performance-wise, but if performance would be my goal, there'd be a number of things I would have done differently. I also guess that al

Actually there's a builder that allows you to pick the functions you need and compiles custom versions: http://minifiedjs.com/builder/ I don't think that this is a practical approach for most people though. A

What exactly would you miss (other than some utilities like each(), which are I would like to keep out of the library)? Actually one of the ways I used to decide what features to squeeze in was making a list of all jQuery functions and re-

Actually my goal is that the library will always stay under 4kB. Setting yourself a limit is the only way to prevent feature creep, and 4kB seems quite ok. Over time, when support for older browsers can be dropped, there will be space for a

b/c solar cells will be around for a long time Are you sure about that? It's something I always wondered. The efficiency of today's solar panels is 15%-20%. According to a short google search, researchers have already shown

Because if you impose tariffs on such goods, these countries will never be able to improve their standard of living. The lower standards give them a chance to produce for lower prices and thus participate in the global market. If you look a

I wonder whether the Chinese manufacturer are really dumping them, or whether the German companies only had high prices from the beginning. Companies like Siemens and Bosch aren't exactly known for low prices or efficiency. Massive gov

The great thing about Promises/A+ is that it's so small. I have implemented it in 375 bytes, and was even able to add two convenience functions: https://github.com/timjansen/PinkySwear.js

The bill won't have any significant impact on most customers because cable channels won't charge the cable companies any less. If a cable companies has to pay, say, $1 Mio to distribute a channel, it needs the subscriptions to pay for that.

It's confusing to have three lights for a single stop line, especially the light on the left is odd. You don't know which of the traffic lights apply to you and it makes you look for another stop line.
472.
by tjansen 14y ago
I don't understand the correlation between the position of the lights and the position of the stop line. You can have a stop line 10 feet away from the intersection and still have traffic lights on the other side. Actually, in my experienc

True, but they are not always so much easier to see if you are in the first car. Also, if you need three lights instead of one, I think that is a sure sign that the design is broken.

Here in Germany as well, but then it gets really confusing. My favorite example is this intersection: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=K%C3%BChlwetterstra%C3%9Fe,+D... It has three lights, only two of them positioned at the stop line.

I know, but then you should do the same for pedastrians.

My pet peeve in Europe is the positioning of traffic lights. It drives me crazy that they not on the opposite side of the intersection, like in the US, but at the stop line. If you are in the first car at the stop line, then they are right

He gives a lot of political reasons for that, and I agree fully with them, but in the end the only thing that matters is the resulting product. Don't get me wrong, I am very thankful for what Mozilla did for the web at a time when IE was pr

When you still need to explain why Mozilla matters, despite a market share of ~20%, I guess it's already doomed... Practically nobody uses a browser, or any other product, only to "fight monoculture". It may be an honorable goal, but a prod

If you send people just the files, without hosting, you are limiting your target group to pretty technical people who know how to maintain their web space.
