That's a nice reference. Perhaps ironically, and definitely IMO, vanilla-js looks to be the simplest. Followed by jquery.

With the right case, I don't see how this would withstand Supreme Court review. The Ninth Circuit doesn't seem to like it (Drew/Duval). My guess is the the SCOTUS wouldn't approve of private parties drafting their own criminal laws.

You could also say that the agreement is void w/r/t a minor, because they don't have capacity to contract, via Statute of Frauds. Of course there are plenty of times when they can contract, but TOS in general seem completely obtuse and not

From what I can tell the biggest issue you (and many others have) is the environment/culture issue. The stuff you see or some of the ways that you are expected to code with C# in many .NET shops will make you want to claw your eyes out.

I have a morbid fascination with articles like this, and it bug me. Even though a few ideas in the piece may feel intuitively correct, this is mainly just anecdote driven journalism; no evidence, no statistics, just a handful of observatio

I'm not so sure that the need for touch is really that great in a desktop environment. It's probably cool for someone looking over your shoulder and wanting to take control of your computer. But for sitting at the computer and making some

I've tried the initial Windows 8 developer preview, and I have to say it has been a jarring experience to switch back and forth between Metro and the "Windows Classic" desktop. The visual experience of Metro vs the Win7 style is so differe

I would really love an actual example of what he is talking about. Sure I can use my imagination, but it would make the post more interesting. It's a good point he makes, but concrete details always provide an excellent analytic touchstone

My method is like yours, basically. I use Notepad and good-old paper. I'm leary about the idea of ever having a "living calendar". You've gone from the one dimensional todo list of "what" to a more complex decision tree with another dime

This all makes no never-mind to me, as I'm going to turn that right off (you can do that, right?). I prefer to evaluate on my own what information is relevant and what isn't. Happy accidents, you know. Did Google ever announce what the ra

...and yet. I like good design as much as the next person. But I'm not sure what a good design even is anymore and this article isn't helping. It's throwing a lot of concepts in that "design" bucket. Are we in the midst of a "design bubb

A statement like that which is not part of the official decision are referred to as "dictum". Lower courts review higher court rulings, including dicta, and over time dicta has a way of becoming law. Scalia is a kind of a Fourth Amendment

After reading that ticket, I think the solution is going to have to involve more than one keyword. It's curious to see that the objection is to the hideous mass of js that "defer" compiles down into. I kind of thought that was the point o

I am assuming that CoffeeScript should be able to add new syntax where the need arises, as the number of CoffeeScript users is probably still pretty low and able to adapt to change. From what I can tell, CoffeeScript - and the Javascript/No

This post raises a few questions for me... and perhaps some one more versed in these stacks can provide answers. - Does the use of CoffeeScript alleviate the MC Escher-esque quality of callbacks within closures involved in working with Java

I'd love for non-programming sites like http://diy.stackexchange.com/ to catch on. I feel a little queasy every my most relevant search leads me to Yahoo Answers.

Agreed on the list quality. About the second part of your comment - these works were probably all in the public domain before the great copyright lockdown of 1976 (and subsequent copyright extensions). Unfortunately "content owners" are g

If Linux ever becomes popular on the desktop, it won't be because of Unity, that's for sure. It's a resource hog and it breaks too many established UI conventions. Unity forced me to start using the keyboard for most things. I'll give XF

I didn't sign up for this either (for same reason as you), and because I suspect some viral marketing at work. My guess is that it is a version of the Flask-OAuth extension sample app, found here: http://packages.python.org/Flask-OAuth/ F
