The Man Who Made The Cash Register Obsolete
Its also a pain for every website serving jQuery because of increased data for every single page load. Cutting out the support for old IE should also help with performance.
I think you found they two week points in my post, just to clarify, I did modify the code I found, and I did write my own code. I just put that as a way to show that I went out, and learned in a naïve way, searching Google for almost everything I needed to know to do something.

Also, gamebrave was changed many times, and I improved it as much as I could, the layout changed many times as I learned more effective ways to write code. I just stopped working on it at one point because I wasn't getting anything out of improving the website, I wanted to move on, and try a new project. It wasn't going to ever be a really business, it was just a way for me to learn how to write web code.

Also, this is my early story, and was fed mainly by curiosity, and not a formal education plan. Based on a lot of advice I have received, I will be reading books on programming topics that interest me.
There's a difference between working as a web page in all browsers and working in all HTML-rendering environments such as the ones listed in the bullet points in the blog. For example, Windows 8 apps or Chrome add-ons have additional security restrictions on .innerHTML.
I call BS. It's a cheap strategic move to weaken public opposition. The same thing happened with NDAA.

You know what you're right. Thankfully, I'm not on the investigation team.
Observe that 4chan users did not set up a whole board devoted to the topic and a spreadsheet of suspects. Nor, for that matter, do alleged journalists frequently use 4chan as a primary source.

What I've noticed after years of trying to hack my emotional give-away, is that it's really hard to fake being confident when you're nervous, especially around people who know you for a while.

However, when dealing with people who don't know you, you can easily fake being important or nobody, for a short period of time. This is not always useful, and could backfire (especially if you are "elevating" your power), but I've found some limited scenarios where altered first impression gives you an edge.
Fantastic, thank you. I've got a dot matrix printer that's been hooked up and waiting for a project for some time now...I think this is exactly it.
Did you consider an alternative to major version bumping, e.g. a slightly different name for this fork, such as jQuery-slim ... or a much better name? :-) I think the problem is that 2.0 just implies 'better' to such an extent that a lot of people will be concerned about 1.9's imminent sunsetting.
You read too many bad crime novels and I wish I could downvote you.
Having lots of stuff in a doc page doesn't mean your docs are any good.

I spent 2 years writing against the latest stable ExtJS. At about 3 months, I stopped using their docs for anything but cursory information: what methods does this class have of its own, what does it inherit, what is its class hierarchy, etc. That information is dynamically generated and typically spot on. The rest is generated by doc comments, and it's very hit or miss.

Instead, if I needed to know ANY details of a function, I clicked on the '.js' link on the right side of the page in the class hierarchy to load the .js file in the browser, then a quick cmd+f would show me what I needed to know, because I can parse consistently formatted JS faster than I can grok their vertically challenged documentation. JSDuck pulls inherited docs if function-level docs are omitted in a subclass, too, and sometimes they're just plain wrong because of that.

After about 6 months, I had committed to memory about 60% of Ext (all but the graphing bits, mainly, which I never used). I believe a good library is one that you don't need to worry about, ever. So naturally, being required to delve into Ext's source so often to me is unacceptable of something that is a paid product.

I would've been fine to fix so much in Ext, but it isn't developed in public via something like github, even though it's dual licensed, which meant the only way to do that was to post on their forums. No thanks. 4.x came a long way in rendering performance, but there were still critical paths that were untouched, including layout logic that determined when to perform layouts. They aren't required almost ever, but are used liberally, so while making the process faster is a benefit, the fundamental problem remains. A 200ms (for us, YMMV) layout problem was fixed (down to < 1ms) by a +5-0 change that added heuristics to determine when a layout was actually needed. This is a trivial change, and could be thrown in a PR at no cost. I'm not going to copy my code on the forums and hope someone at Sencha will manually merge that into whatever bleeding-edge version they have.
The interesting thing about it is that if he sells those coins on the exchange, the value will substantially drop, so it's not $100mln in the bank. However, he could buy 100mln worth of items from vendors that use btc, and the vendors will sell off the 1mln btc but won't be able to get the price of the purchases back. That's assuming that if there was a big order of items and paid in btc that the vendor would sell immediately.
I don't think of a large project by the number of classes it has, and I was actually hesitant to place this in the post, but I needed something people could to relate to for a size metric.
They're not so much throwing IE under the bus as throwing developers under the bus that have fortune-500 clients that can only use IE. Some nerd (me) whining about their browser choice is really not going to make their IT director change policies.

Granted, I can and will keep using 1.9
When the Met(ropolitan Police) or Gendarmerie Nationale or Carabinieri raid a property, the terrorists they are looking for have only household improvised weapons. Every European is today, once again glibly pointing this out (touché). When they are in the US, given the behaviour [le mot juste] of congress today, is it surprising that they can and so will shoot back? Of course they will. It is inexplicable and totally bizarre to the rest of the world that they are lethally "armed and dangerous" because they ARE LEGALLY ALLOWED TO BE.

"We don't care that the world things we are all immovably, constitutionally crazy" is such a weird position. You seem not to. One nation demonstrably under the NRA.

Americans seem to actually think that these weekly gun massacres happen everywhere else too. They just don't.

It is now absolutely clear that you can kill hundreds in a day with a few of your own guns, and the federal government will spring into not the tiniest bit of action.
Abusing resource:// uri in Firefox Browser
Curious article. Though now I do wonder why those guys were there..
Since people see jQuery as a solution for cross-browser issues, dropping some browser support is the biggest change imaginable.
I'm not arguing with you, but that doesn't dispute it's insecurity though. You don't have to use email to reset a password; there are other methods.
qSA does a lot more than class and id selectors; those have been trivial since long before qSA came along. You can also do selection on element attributes, parent-child selections (include strict child selection with ">"), and a few other higher-order selector combinations.

Still, I don't mean to slight Sizzle, and certainly won't stop using it. It's just nice to see jQuery compete with Zepto, since apparently there's a demand for a build that small, and jQuery is better-tested and less brittle.
It seems very plausible.

Most crimes in Japan have conviction rates of well over 90% for the reasons I wrote so I would be very surprised if this case was any different.
You didn't read the complaint.

'Currently, there's 10s of thousands of dollars that have been removed from my business partner's account, that are sitting in Dwolla's accounts, that Dwolla claims they will "return in due course."'

That should never happen. If there are fraud problems, they should be clarified and settled before the fact, not while they hold onto the cash. The sum is too large to take to small claims court and I imagine too large for the author to just write off.
SimCity Coming to Macs on June 11
I'm annoyed XP doesn't have IE 9 or DirectX 10+, but I guess that's Microsoft's way of getting people to upgrade to newer versions of Windows.

Based on current stats, I'd say IE 8 hasn't got long till you can ignore it but it really depends on how much market share you care about. Do people STILL target IE 6? IE 8 is on ~10%[1] and at the current rate it's dropping at should be at 5% by October - Just in time for IE 11?

As for blaming XP, I'm not sure you can completely. IE 8 is the default browser of Windows 7 and XP has more than double the market share of IE 6/7/8 combined. Most IE users seem to be schools and companies that haven't upgraded. Although IE 6 will definitely be gone by April 2014, we could very well be stuck with IE 8 for a very long time.

For the record, IE 6 and 7 should be ignored completely. Combined they have a market share of less than 1%.

For a rule of thumb, I commonly drop support once a browser crosses 5%. Might seem high but usually once it's at that level, it's only going to keep falling.

Something to look forward to, my estimates[2] put Firefox 3.6, Safari 5/5.1 and IE 6/7/9 to all be gone by the start of 2014. Of course, linear estimations should always be taken with a grain of salt.

One of the things that seems to be missing is an easily findable "Why CISPA is bad" page. There are tons of people speaking out against it, but all in generalities because they assume you know what is in CISPA already.

Now, let's see if he actually does it.
In the video, there's a girl wearing a yellow pullover and a large back-pack that is a little behind the guy labeled as a suspect. She shows up in each of the scenes (at 0:08, 0:20, 0:29) Is there information outside of this video that makes him more suspicious than her?

Otherwise, I'd say both of them exhibit the same level of innocence/guilt.
Another common method is to scale to mean 0, variance 1. In my opinion this makes more sense since it handles outliers a bit better-e.g., consider a case where most of your values for a feature are scaled from 1 to 10 but there's one point with value 1,000,000.
I think if we look at both motives without attempting to ascribe negative connotation, we might get somewhere.

"Small government" isn't purposeless, it's (supposed) tenet is to limit the government in both scope and authority to those powers enumerated by the Constitution. Either way, the point isn't just that the government should be non-existent, or smaller for its own sake, but that it should allow the citizens to provide for their own welfare and provide the minimal in opposition to that. The Republican mantra believes that people can and will fend for themselves, and either enjoy their own successes or failures with minimal intervention.

The democratic mantra is to provide a minimum standard for all, at the expense of those in excess of that standard.

It's a contrast in ideology, but neither is good or bad on its own. Also worth noting is that over time, the parties have effectively flipped positions on matters entirely. The Republicans, for example, freed the slaves despite FIERCE opposition by the democrats. Nowadays, the Democrats generally carry the African-American vote.

In short, it's a popularity contest. Both parties have ideals that they live up to some percentage of the time, but any individual politician (or party dynamic) is likely to shift their belief in the interests of getting elected, staying elected, appeasing campaign contributors or even to appease their constituency.
Which service would that be?

The original one were you could transfer in, transfer out, buy bitcoins, all in a 24h window - or the current one were it takes paperwork, and 30 days before they allow you to even send funds out that are in your account?

As far as I can tell, Dwolla is only a good fit if you have a business that can't take credit cards (high risk, or sells CC processor "banned" items like Kratom), which actually quite well explains why they are so difficult to work with (due to fraud checks and prevention).
Also, this is why the New York Post sucks. I understand a bunch of internet teenagers with too much time on their hands spreading this story, but an actual newspaper with professional journalists? And on the front page too.

The New York Post is only useful for insulation for the homeless. Luckily, this is also its primary use.

See, this is why I like this place. People who can teach me things. OK then, so why haven't we deployed DNSCurve?
I tried it with both the stable version the github page links to and the latest beta version on http://smartdeblur.net/. Other than changing the blurryness to blockyness, it doesn't seem to do a whole lot. [1]

Maybe it works better on motion blur e.g. because with motion blur all of the information is still there (just overlayed or convoluted in some other way), while this image is just an interpolated version of a smaller image that doesn't contain as much information.

It's definitely possible that someone else might be able to change some program settings for the better though.

Is it a good idea to rewrite a large Ruby on Rails application in Node.js
The point is that Democrats do not say, in the first person, from their mouths, that they are for "big government." In addition, the term lacks lacks usefulness without a basis for comparison for the word "big", except as a code for the individual policies that you have named to be used by the enemies of those policies. For example, if you're for a big military, are you for big government?

It's an advertising term, not itself a communication of fact.
Does the co-founder term always imply some sort of equality? If so, I think the implication is dangerous. For example, finding someone who works exactly as hard as you do is impossible, so someone's always going to be disappointed.

Also, the buck has to stop somewhere, at an individual, not a committee. It's lonely at the top.
I wouldn't go for "higher standard" but I would say they should be "better informed" about the consequences of driving recklessly.

I have talked to a lot of state patrolmen in CA and WA (USA) and they were cured of using their awesome driving schools for personal advantage after coming up on their first gruesome accident. Especially if said involved children.

People tend to think they're "exceptional" in some way, though, and will dismiss the risk by thinking that they are better trained and more aware of the factors that lead to accidents.
That was fun. I resisted the temptation to use a search engine to explore clues.

Only good experiences here. I've also referred at least two other people who have been happy with Dwolla. Unfortunately their service is really important in the U.S., where transfers between banks aren't as easy as they are in Europe (and, I suspect, much of the rest of the OECD world).
Well, I haven't done exactly the same I suggested to the OP.
BTW, I teached the basics of "websites" to a class of teenagers coming from "difficult" families.

On keeping a lofty 'to-do' list
From the OP's concluding graf:

> I fear that in the current climate the goal of "women's rights," with the compliance of politically motivated government policy and the tacit complicity of college administrators, runs the risk of grounding our most cherished institutions in a veritable snake pit of injustice—not unlike the very injustices the movement itself has for so long sought to correct. Unbridled feminist orthodoxy is no more the answer than are attitudes and policies that victimize the victim.

Good background on DL v. factoring v. ECDL is Odlyzko, http://www.dtc.umn.edu/~odlyzko/doc/discrete.logs.future.pdf.

Good background on PQ cryptography (McEliece, &c, the stuff you're referring to later in your comment): Bernstein's intro to Post-Quantum Crypto: http://pqcrypto.org/www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cd...

I've never seen anyone use McEliece, NTRU, &c commercially. Unlike ECC, these schemes aren't on the horizon for TLS.

ECC goes back to Lenstra and Koblitz in the mid-80's. I'm not wading into the validity of the patents the way DJB does, just saying, we're coming to the end of their lifespan.

Why I joined a startup
As I argued elsewhere, all the 'party line' sentiments are advertising, and ultimately, the measure of either party's effectiveness is probably a measure against how effectively they act in accordance with those slogans.

For what it's worth, it wasn't meant as a slight to democrats, just a slightly less aggrandizing presentation of the point made.

Arguably, Republicans that claim to prefer a smaller government often would take the surplus from the cut of safety-net programs and apply them to the military. In practice, that may be fair, but it doesn't necessarily result in a smaller government either.

If I were critiquing both parties on effectiveness, I would easily fault the Republican party for failing to substantially reduce the size of government, while at the same time, I would critique democrats for settling for a reduced quantity of freedom in the interest of allowing everyone to share equally in the freedoms that remain.

That said, I prefer neither party, so feel free to critique however you see fit.
