That doesn't matter, though. Let's take the example above and say there's 5000 .widget items on the page. There's two properties that need to be set. Assuming jQuery works as you expect, in the first case we iterate over 5000 elements setting one attribute, then do it again, for 10000 total operations. In the second case, it iterates over 5000 elements once, but sets two attributes, which is again 10000 total operations.

But this is all speculation anyway. Why not read the code? A bit of searching turns up the css function: https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/css.js#L102 . Interestingly, it passes a callback to something called jQuery.access.

More searching finds access here: https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/core.js#L71... . Note line 719: If the key (which is the first argument to css) is an object, it just iterates through the object and recursively calls itself for each key-value pair in the object.

Thus, passing an object to css is equivalent to calling css multiple times, ignoring small costs of re-building the callback function that css passes to access (and I'm not even sure that cost exists, I'd actually expect any decent interpreter to optimize such that re-building it is of negligible performance cost).

The jQuery source code is a rather fun read, I highly recommend stepping through it from time to time. :)

You're definitely correct.

However, I think the parent was commenting about the quality of this specific article, not on the meritless basis of a discussion about HIPAA.

SF or REMOTE fulltime (near pacific time) CircleCI: designers, frontend, backend engineers.

At CircleCI (https://circleci.com), we're building Heroku for Continuous Integration. We have traction and revenue. Our customers love us, because we move quickly and provide amazing support. All employees talk to customers and are on support rotation.

We eat our own dogfood, DevOps, A/B test, do Continuous Deployment and Customer Development.

We're looking for: designers that can write HTML & CSS, Frontend Engineers and Backend Engineers.

We're still a small team, so you'll have a large impact on company culture. We're highly influenced by Valve's Employee handbook, and the culture at GitHub, Stripe, etc. SF-local employees have catered lunch every day.

The frontend is a fat javascript client, using HamlCoffee, Less and Knockout. We have a lot of interesting design and data-visualization problems that need to be solved.

The backend is written in Clojure. Backend engineers should know Clojure or another 'weird' language (Haskell, Scala, Scheme, etc), and Linux Devops (C compilation model, make, packaging).

Contact us at jobs@circleci.com. Include samples of awesome stuff you've done.

A) Anyone who's developing games for iOS or Mac on a Mac Pro in Europe already has a Mac Pro.

B) This is just a regulatory issue with the current model and will be fixed in the next revision.

C) For many tasks, the i7 iMac with 32GB of RAM and a Thunderbolt drive array is nearly as good as the Mac Pro (4-core). Obviously it can't compete with the 12-core but not many of those are sold.

D) Tim Cook was instrumental in making Apple what it is today. He's doing a fine job. You have no idea what you're talking about.

The problem becomes obvious when you discover that there's no place to move in order to own. When you have no choice, are you really renting or are you a serf?

Even if you think that you own your phone, you still have to get it onto a network for it to become useful and you'll be renting that network access and you'll have no choice between contracts because they're all the same.
With only 2% of visitors coming from mobile, why would they go mobile-first?

Sure, the design of the site might limit mobile use a bit, but it probably wouldn't cause that big of a disparity in and of itself.

Also, the post mentioned good reasons to go responsive or mobile-first and said that the benefits to a fixed layout for most pages outweighed the drawbacks for them. They have even optimized some pages for mobile where it makes sense to them.

Doing what is right for your business is more important than jumping on the newest techniques solely to be seen as "innovative".
I have a similar feeling towards financial institutions. When you apply for a mortgage, you have to send your entire financial history, by mail (or perhaps worse, by email), to an underwriter. There's no indication as to what happens to all that sensitive stuff afterwards. It's a complete black box.

I think there's a huge opportunity for some sort of app that gives the customer/patient visibility of their data during its entire lifecycle and gives them controls to revoke access, delete data, etc. (Kinda like I can revoke an OAuth token.)

I really like the edge swiping. I miss it on other devices where menus and such are wasting my screen space all the time.

One thing I don't like is the "swipe from left to change apps". There's a setting to adjust that, though, so the left swipe pulls up the app switcher instead.

Ask HN: How do you talk to potential customers?
So I have an idea that is very niche focused. I am already building a version 0 (70% complete). Within the next 2-3 weeks, I hope to have it ready to be able to demo.

This app will have 2 types of users. One that will consume the niche content for free while the other will be recruiters who are interested in finding those niche individuals. The idea is to build a solid user base which will attract these niche recruiters.

I work in the same niche and have a lot of good personal contacts already. The question is: How do I start talking to these potential customers? I mean the medium. Sure I can call them up and send email to start the conversation. But I wanted to ask them more specific questions around their pain points etc. What do you guys use for this ? Survey monkey with questions ? What else ?

I'm a decision maker on products like this and in my case much of my new product research is done initially from bookmarks I check out from my Galaxy Note II while horizontal on my couch at home.

A site that adapts to whatever form factor I'm on screams "current technology" to me and delivers the expectation that the product its selling probably has equal attention.

In a similar vein, how likely would you be to rely on shopping cart technology if the company's website had the old "Built for Internet Explorer" animated gif from the Geocities days displayed prominently on its front page?

I respect and admire Stallman personally. Likewise, I respect and admire his contribution to the world. The problem he set out to tackle was and is very real.

I question whether it remains a primary issue in regard to the future impact of computing on the world. In no small part this is because Stallman's principles have achieved so much. The threats to GNU and Linux do not appear to be existential.

I am a bit troubled by the tribalism of the larger FOSS community and the times at which it focuses on ideology over problem solving and its tendency toward a tribalism which casts so many as as unthinking malevolent "others."

Stallman's principles are valuable analytical tools but they are not a hammer which also saws wood and turns screws. Some problems are better solved by trying wrenches first.

Feeling down == feeling emotional discomfort of even pain within the body.
Negative thoughts fueling this pain, but I gave up trying to "think myself out" of negative moods long time ago.

"Doing yourself out" of negative moods doesn't work either - as it just temporarily distracting, but not resolving inner pain.

So the best solution I found is dealing with feelings and emotions directly.
The way it works as follows:

When you feeling down/negative/depressed - locate exactly in your body where you feel these feelings.
Usually they occupy areas of abdomen, chest and sometimes back, neck or larger areas.
Once located - start watching/observing these areas. As masters say - shed the light of your conscious attention to your feelings, without any attempt to change them or get rid of them.
At the same time - and it's important - start consciously breathing and follow your breathing.

So the practice is - watch your feelings exactly where they are and following your breathing.

This will start dissolving emotional pain directly without any thinking.
This technique helped me a lot.

Am I the only one that thinks offering a free e-book and some drip marketing emails feels like those spammy SEO software companies?

You get a landing page where you have to give your email to get a download. The "Guide" is usually just some distilled thinking that's rarely worth the email you traded for it. If you were smart, you probably used an email address you use for all of your spam, because you know once you get the guide, the next thing up is a bunch of drip marketing emails to get you to upgrade.

The email tips are often just as vapid as the guide and you know you're in for at least 4 to 6 of them over the next 60 days, so you ignore every one of them and route them straight to notifications/promotions/spam.

Drip marketing and free giveaways isn't anything new, and it _can_ be effective, but it's not a silver bullet to sales, by any means.

Not directly. More like TCP-like messaging over HTTP. The server needs to understand the websockets protocol.

Writing a basic server that strips the websockets part from messages and forwards them to a real TCP server isn't very hard, but it's still a server you need.

The Truth About Code Review
I do not have an answer to your question, but in my mind the targeted attack is more concerning than a random drive-by that hits everyone. That means just one instance is too many.

As another example: In the earlier days of iOS, you could root it just by visiting a website. Who knows how many fell pray and have malicious code running on their devices today? With a targeted attack, you don't even get the benefit of security researchers all scouring over the code like you would with something more widespread, thus there really is no way to even keep track of what might be out there.

The biggest issue, in my view, is that you cannot have both scalability and secure offline transactions in a system like Bitcoin -- specifically, in any system that lacks currency issuing authorities. Chaum showed this long before there was a Bitcoin (sorry if this is not an article you can easily find for free):

https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1754992

In layman's terms, the result is this: every time you make a secure digital cash transfer, the amount of information needed in future transfers of the money increases. The increase is, in the best case, linear in the number of offline transactions. Traditionally, that is solved by having a "bank" that issues the initial information, and which will re-issue currency to reset its size.

In the case of Bitcoin, there is no such authority, meaning that either you'll hit this scalability problem or you cannot have secure offline payments. In Bitcoin's case, solutions have been given for the scalability problem; it is safe to conclude that offline payments are impossible.

Lacking offline transactions is a big deal in practice. It means that we cannot meet anywhere "off the grid" and expect to be able to transfer money. It means that gas pumps need reliable Internet connections. It means that hot dog stands need Internet service. In other words, it means that Bitcoin cannot replace paper money -- whereas Chaumiam-style systems could, or at least have a stronger case for being able to.

There is also reason to doubt Bitcoin's security model. See, for example, this work on analyzing the publicly available information in Bitcoin to de-anonymize its users:

http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.4524

Really, if I were to be as conservative about security as possible, I would say that the only security Bitcoin provides is protection against double-spending in online transactions; I would not rely on anonymity, and I would not even think about offline payments. Considering how much work was done in the early 90s on digital cash systems that not only protect against double spending, but which also allow secure offline transactions and which ensure the anonymity of users, I don't think it is unfair to say that Bitcoin has technical weaknesses compared to other systems.
> IMHO this puts BTC in the 'massive waste of electricity' camp.

You don't see any value in a currency that can't be counterfeited, manipulated by a central bank and also enables great privacy & low-fee transactions?
