Hmm. Why?

I don't mean to be an ass, I just expected more when I read the headline. Applying via pull request or something. This is really just a link to job description, though.

Chartbeat can speak to this a bit: http://chartbeat.com/labs/totaltotal/

You'll need a big monitor, as this was a quick hack and doesn't function very well on small screens, but you can see the number of people using IE across all of the sites our JS is loaded on in real-time.

What would you want it do for Ctrl+Alt+S? When you press one, it does exactly what it should – displays the keycode for the key.

Key combos like you describe would be handled by the shiftKey/metaKey/etc attributes of the event object provided to the event handler.

You can get the majority of this functionality with Closure Compiler though, without needing to abstract the entire language away.

Reddit actually does use Cassandra, and you can read about their adventures and such with it here: http://blog.reddit.com/search/label/Cassandra

It is so ridiculous to me that the word "Github" in this article links to an engadget search for the word "Github", rather than the Github repo that the article is about.

I like the VWO guys. I was kind of an ass and ranted about some issues in their JS on twitter recently and they reached out to me and addressed the issues I was encountering. Very responsive, look forward to seeing what they can come up with.

The file's name is also "Neil_armstrong.jpg"

Very glad to see this. Venmo is possibly the most useful app on my phone, and one of my favorite products.

It's also not a new thing. Typically when something like this is happening in the world, someone finds their way onto reddit and keeps a flow of information going.

Here's me doing this almost two years ago: http://reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/d8b6b/noooo_a_gunman...

As an interesting (if irrelevant) comparison, NFL quarterback Drew Brees just signed a 5 year, $100 million contract with the New Orleans Saints.

This was a confusingly titled post that had me briefly concerned for all of my useless little apps that run on Webfaction. Once I realized what it actually was, it's actually a nice little write-up that I'll probably implement one of these days, so thanks!

Just avoid starting things with "<service> fail." to save future heart attacks.

CMD+Shift+P -> "JS" or "Py" or something sets the syntax highlighting.

I've always pressed CMD+Shift+G for that. Nice to know there's an easier way.

We use it for the Chartbeat dashboard (demo here: http://chartbeat.com/demo/) and it's been delightful, but we also made the decision while we were already doing a redesign. This meant we weren't just adding another rule to the page which would change everything; we wrote new CSS with this concept in mind.

You could say "for all intents and purposes" or "practically".

While I'm typically excited for upgrades to anything (OS, Individual apps, etc) I really have no desire to upgrade to Mountain Lion.

That's not a very fair example. That would be like commenting Python like this:

    def foo():       # This defines a function
        a = 5        # This defines a variable, a = 5
        return a + 5 # The function returns the value of a + 5

Not to argue in favor of or against max.css, but nobody comments their code like that. It's more about things like this:

    .ribbon-edge {
        /**
         * By setting the width and height to 0
         * and having a really large border, we
         * can use the way the borders intersect
         * to create a ribbon edge for our header/
         * This results in three angled red borders,
         * and one transparent, right-facing triangle
         * on the left side.
         */
        width: 0;
        height: 0;
        border: 50px solid transparent;
        border-left-color: red;
    }

I'm not sure that would help. It just means the thieves need to steal the car in two steps instead of one.

"JSON Object Notation" => JavaScript Object Notation Object Notation

This happens a lot on sports-based subreddits as well, when there's a game on.

There is no such thing as a jQuery Programmer. There are JavaScript programmers who are familiar with jQuery.

Incognito mode?

At that point you should just be using LESS/SASS/etc, though, for the other niceties they provide for working with colors and such.

You do lose the benefit of caching with that approach, though.

Here's what I see on a maximized browser window at 1280x800, without modifying zoom at all: http://i.imgur.com/2yKz8.png

Do you have a lot of toolbars on your browser or something? Huge font size?

Something you may consider for your CSS: vendor prefixes are no longer required for border-radius declarations.

Mostly true for box-shadow as well, except for the Android browser I think.
