I'm John Resig, the creator and lead developer of the jQuery JavaScript Library.

I work at Khan Academy and the author of the books 'Pro JavaScript Techniques' and 'Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja'. I'm currently located in the Hudson Valley, NY.

I was in Y Combinator-funded startup during the summer of 2006 with Julia West ('juliamae') and Josh King ('skierx') working on peer-to-peer messaging over mobile devices.

    Probably! I made this about 15 years ago - the technology is evolved a lot since then!

    Glad I was able to help, those are some great prints! fwiw, there is also an online catalog of Kasamatsu Shrio's prints and it looks like these are your prints there: https://shiro…

    Oh that's very cool! I have a mailing list signup on the ukiyo-e.org home page, I'll send out a message there once it's ready for testing! I've posted some screenshots on Reddit th…

    Thank you for sharing my site! I built this a number of years ago as I was starting to learn about Japanese prints. I wanted a single place where I could find them across all of th…

    Uh - woah! This is incredibly unexpected. I'm really glad people are interested in my database and in Japanese prints! From a technical perspective there've been a lot of interesti…

    Just to clarify: YUI and ExtJS both came out after jQuery, jQuery came out in 2006, and jQuery is actually more popular now than it was a year ago (or in 2010 - see the figures cit…

    Not exactly. It's linking to the old SAT practice material that's for the old (current) SAT exam. The new material, for the upcoming 2016 exam, which was just launched today, is av…

    After doing some more poking it appears as if Avisynth (and thus NNEDI3) is Windows-only. Do you happen to know if there are ways to run it in Linux or OSX? Or if there's a compara…

    NNEDI3 is fantastic - thank you for providing a link and some samples! You're absolutely right that I shouldn't have said "normal". I update the post to clarify that this was using…

    Great point. FWIW, I've updated the post to include some of the cartouches, along with a cartouche at the "low noise reduction" level. The two lines in the fourth character appear …

    I've updated the post to include additional low-noise-reduction filter examples. Thank you for reminding me to look at them!

    Comment #9580201

    Yeah, on second thought, after seeing the low noise reduction result again, I suspect that may be an even better result for what I'm looking to achieve. Many of the details in his …

    I have not - although that's an interesting idea, thank you! Relative to my other projects this is a very low-priority exploration. I was very interested to see if there could be a…

    Comment #9580139

    One thing I should note is that when looking at prints (at least for when it comes to technical analysis) being able to see accurate representations of the lines is far more import…

    Comment #9580082

    Yeah - the background looking like crumpled-up wrapping paper is definitely not ideal. I suspect that it's having trouble with mostly-uniform areas of color that have slight variat…

    I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say "destroyed". Compare the text in this cartouche: https://imgur.com/7fGJg4s,iWf4pXG At worst it seems comparable to the previous result. At leas…

    Oof - I'm really sorry to hear that! I hope he is doing well now. Thank you for passing this along.

    I completely agree. I tried to make a bunch of notes on the (poor) code quality, inline. This is mostly an attempt at archaeology, if you will. Naturally the current release (or ev…

    I don't have any links off-hand but I know that there was a Nintendo.com sub-site that was using a pre-1.0 version of jQuery. Even though the overall code quality is rather low it …

    Absolutely agreed - comments are so important! Seemingly when I was working on jQuery alone and without much feedback I was totally fine just having no comments. I noticed that in …

    I don't have exact records but based upon what I was inspired by, and what else I was working on at the time, it roughly equates to the fall of 2005. I was in college at the time a…

    It really depends upon the subject matter - we're experimenting! For Computer Science/programming education we've been pushing more towards the text/interactive exercise direction.…

    I don't think we have any immediate plans for Discrete math - we are still filling in gaps in our K-12 curriculum. We'll see, maybe someday!
