The authors "prove me wrong" attitude is awesome, and I hope we see some deeper diving into virtual DOM performance in a follow-up article.

I used to do this too when I was a kid at my grandmom's house. They'd order steaks from TV commercials and receive them in the mail bundled with dry ice. It started as making foam messes with soap, water and dry ice... But soon I was filling up 2 litre bottles with ice and water and making bombs. It all ended when the police arrived because neighbors thought a gunfight was happening in their quiet residential neighborhood. Needless to say, they weren't very happy with me.

I'm kind of amazed that these trolls are so obvious. It makes me wonder how much user generated content is really government generated content that we miss because it's not as apparent.

Knowing this I am going to start wearing sweatpants and slip-ons to work. Perhaps I'll stop bathing too. I would certainly hate to have to call my company out on tumblr for judging me on superficial things.

That's just sad. How far will political correctness go when we can't even compliment others.

The Dremel site is unfortunately lacking the pricing. They note that it's available for purchase on Amazon, but it isn't as far as I can tell.

True, but it's like lemon laws for cars. If your new car isn't reliable, you're entitled to a refund.

Yeah, there's no law that applies in this instance, but I do sympathize with the company if the code really was subpar. There are a lot of bad developers out there, and for someone who doesn't program it's very difficult to avoid them.

As far as I've seen Jquery is still using an interval to animation, and not RequestAnimationFrame. This is because of glitchiness that occurs when you switch tabs during animations.

You can actually use this method on LinkedIn to endorse all of your friends, and because it offers more results, you can set an interval to endorse infinitely. My LinkedIn friends all hate me now because they've been endorsed for random things.

Except in IE.

How do you know that this phone has that problem? I would certainly hope that Amazon's engineers thought about those use cases... Until I read some reviews that actually find those problems with the phone, it's meaningless conjecture to believe them.

I think it's more indicative of the way applications are being used these days.

Create a gimmick -> gain incredible popularity -> try to monetize your product -> users switch to the next gimmick -> create a new gimmick.

To extend upon this, you can also pass in references to decrease lookup time. That's why you see people doing:

   (function($,window) {
     //code here
   })(jQuery,window);

The paradoxical thing about LSD is that you simply cannot understand its effects until you've already tried it.
