Hijacking the thread to ask you a question: How do you do acquire the background image? That just blew my mind, it's an awesome feature. Do you have to pre-associate each film with an image, or.... ? Details please! In fact, I'd read a blog

Yes, it definitely needs citations, otherwise it's just heresay. Very cool idea, just a slightly immature implementation thus far.

What do you use Basic for?!?

by user24 14y ago
Yeah I've done a bit of haskell at uni, it only struck me later how similar it is(/can be) to JS.

Here's a completely abstracted version, but I'm certain it's less clear to use ;) function recurseBetween(initial, hasEnded, modify, callback) { // Overwrite the callback with a recursive version: var recursiveCallback = f

Decent enough explanation of recursion. Why not take it further and produce a more general solution? In JavaScript I'd write something like this: function recurseBetween(start, end, callback) { // Create a recursive function

Not really, what about browsers that don't support first-child? Backwards compatibility is important.

Fair enough, but that is a technical limitation which is trivial to get around: <setsrc> <img src="foo.jpg"> <set src="foo1.jpg" width="100"> <set src="foo2.jpg" density="2"> <

> the syntax feels awkward, clunky and very specific Yeah, stuff like "2x 100w" looks a bit like magic numbers[1] Also there's potential for confusion in 'x' - does it mean X as in a co-ordinate i.e. width, or zoom? I'd rather see somet

In the future, there is no such action. Everything is recorded with an infinite rollback history.

I'm guessing via gravity, but I think drawing something big enough to attract space junk close enough to attract space junk will be too dangerous for earth.

Why not make the ToS incremental so you agree as-and-when you use the relevant part of the service. Click share "Do you authorise Google to share this document yada-yada", done. Most users will only consume part of the service, why should t

This has been suggested often (and would be a wonderful feature). IIRC it's impossible currently due to the fact that flash runs as a single process and so you can only control the volume of all flash movies, not individual ones.

When Google inevitably smooth this over to avoid the bad PR, just spare a thought for the hundreds of smaller sites who don't have the option to generate that kind of press (Google screwed me out of $50 on my blog about kittens doesn't have

I was surprised to see "Go fuck yourself" on the video (0:39). Was that a mistake or a conscious decision? Otherwise, it's a very slick professional video.

Eh, it's still a fairly new technology, it's interesting (and fun) to see what people are doing with it, what it's capable of, and so on.

Yeah. So I add a trailing semicolon. Then the 3rd party library releases an update. I have to remember to merge my patch every time they update, do I?

But what if you do this: <script src='3rdpartyA.js'></script> <script src='yourscript.js'></script> <script src='3rdpartyB.js'></script> You need the semicolon at both ends to

Well, to be fair, there was quite a lot of squealing over the unisys GIF patent. But in general you are right. It's a pretty poor article, littered with misconceptions and spelling mistakes.
