  1. Re:Great article on Why Your Pop-Up Blocker Doesn't Work Anymore · · Score: 1

    Welcome to 1990 I would say. I don't understand why Javascript has still this tainted image of beeing bad.

    Nowadays browsers fight to have the fastest javascript engine, because it is so important.

    Yes, in 1990 you checked, and made sure it was plain pure HTML. Nowadays I actually expect that javascript works.

    but a tab is still a tab. It might be represented by X spaces depending on your setting (eg I have 1 tab = 4 spaces).

    But if you go through code or grep or whatever, you can always say ^\t and be sure that you get what you want.

    With spaces? did he intend with 2? 3? 6? how do you then do this?

    I completely disagree. He should have made tab mandatory. Not space. This would have made it all much easier. Because 2 spaces, 3 spaces, look all very similar. but one tab is one tab.

    And then after two years, you outgrow your database and you sit on a shitpile of MySQL. Been there, and from now on I only use Postgres. It can scale from a simple two table mini db two extreme large setup.

    Firefox 3 crashes for me from time to time, 2 did the same, one too. They all use excessive amount of memory.

    the only reason I use three is because i features the latest javascript and render engine. As for the rest there is no real change ...

    Because google will phase out the version they use now. As they do not do any active development on the 2.x tree, they will not upgrade it to the current version google uses.

    I really have to give up my voting points just to crush this mystery.

    No japanese people on PC are NOT tech savy. I have average 50% IE6 access and 45% IE7 access and the rest is then ff/opera/safari.

    The average japanese use just uses his mobile phone more of browsing and as they update their phones every 6 months, they get automatic updates. On their PC they behave like any other human beeing. They just have no idea that they should update the browser. Nor does MS push IE7 in any hard way ... which is sad ...

    no external repository make no sense in my opinion for this. I have a local restore in svn, plus the complete history on my external server, where if the main server has some issue (eg /etc gets "lost") I can easy restore my whole /etc from the svn server.

  23. reuse vs rewrite vs extending what you have on Reuse Code Or Code It Yourself? · · Score: 1

    I have learned through experience to always have a door open for those "non standard" requests. I always have them.

    So I have sort of my basic library set with functionality that will be always the same (eg debugging, logging, basic DB IO stuff, access rights to pages, basic template engine) and I built whatever I need on top. with this I reuse code, and extend it if there is need, plus I just need to write new code where it is needed.

    There is a very small chance that a standard framework will exactly do what you want. Or you just adept your needs to what the framework you choose can do. Both chances are normally very minor ...
