Second take: whhhhhaaaaaaaat native color pickers!!? That is really neat, must have missed that addition.

Here's my take: this is very valuable on sites that dynamically load new pages without an actual browser navigation (read: pjax). It is not useful (and indeed it is an anti-pattern…

True, its purpose is a port scanner, not a website scanner.

Go to the Sources tab and click the || button to pause javascript. If you're wondering where the code is, just curl the URL :) (or, with Web Inspector open, refresh the page, go to…

Probably to bust possible caching.

It's fewer DOM manipulations from Javascript yes. The browser will still internally change the styles associated with the DOM elements, just without the JS overhead.

(Rereading again..) The JS claim is silly. He is saying that because we are dynamically creating a single style, that show/hide logic will be faster. I disagree with this, since ad…

You can also cmd(right)-click on the titlebar, and choose a parent.

No, but you can make it much more difficult by passing something like a frame of the game state, where some variables (like Timer) are passed in plaintext, and others (which are ca…

Table-based layouts will bite you down the road. Ever try to make a div that completely fills a td? Ever try absolute positioning in a table? It is tempting to use them because the…

Yeah, after you click a huge "VOID MY WARRANTY" button. I am surprised they made this change after the recent tor exit node exploit...

Yes, the only reason I'd use __defineGetter__ would be a fallback for Object#defineProperty. I'm curious if the IE8 limitation could be worked around, using something like: if (ie8…

Crap. you're right. that's probably a dealbreaker.

I have a question, since this has been bugging me with other js MV* frameworks lately... Is the set() method necessary for updating single attribute? All browsers have supported ge…
