I love YouTube. I use it daily. I have some grief with the interface though. It seems like it doesn't want to be a webpage. So much of it feels custom-made as opposed to browser based. Navigation, scrolling, and image loading breaks for me all the time regardless of browser. So for me it feels risky to adopt their interface implementation.
I realize that YouTube is a crazy hard problem to tackle, and that is probably why stuff like this is necessary.
I see, is there an equivalent for robots? Like putting part of the algorithm in to hardware or something? Or is my "algorithm" still "there", I'm just not as aware that I'm following it?
This reminds me of when i was learning to drive. In the beginning I was only aware of what was immediately in front of the car, and as such, drove very slow and had pay extra attention because a lot of important stuff was coming in to my field of view all the time.
Now, when i drive i look further down the road, i plan out how to follow the road, i see the intersection coming up, and try to anticipate the routes of the other cars/bikes and that requires far less energy, than only processing the immediate surroundings.
Another reason for keeping the commented-out-code, could be if reverting to a previous version of the code is more work, than checking in a new version. Or when the old commented-out-code is used as an explanation as to why the current code looks as it does.
A great idea. And very well executed! One thing though, for some reason emails from the same list does not group together in my Outlook 2013, like "RE:" and "FW:" mails do. (In other words: The "Show as Conversations"-option doesn't seem to work on emails from Planleaf)
Is it only on Mac it shows the actual status codes on the network tab? On Windows i have to hover the little icon in the first column, which is really annoying when I'm trying to figure out if my caching is working correctly.
That is an excellent idea! Make it cross platform, and able to install missing tools, combine it with speech to text and you would be able to talk to any device regardless of the software installed on the device.
A way to do this could be to use a kind of proxy address. That way you would not have to convince every postal service to adopt some new system. The problem with that, of cause, is that it most likely would take you mail much longer to arrive, and you have another 3rd party (4th party?) service provider involved to potentially make mistakes and compromise security.
Its easy when you are just dealing with "text elements" of equal size. But if you are loading images or injecting content in the list elements, the back-button starts to break.
Why is this so hard that even Google can't get it right? If a page has little to no other content than the content in the list, why is it worth the hassle?
I went ahead and made this[1]. The implementation is a little different from the way you do it, and it uses jQuery to create the events, but it supports sequences of click events using jQuery selectors like in my original comment, other events could be added without much effort.
The implementation is not at all as neat as the original, and i haven't done thorough testing, i just had an idea and tried it out.
I use the numpad for every number i type on my keyboard. It's much faster and the time/energy i would save by having to move my hand a shorter distance to the mouse, is no where near the amount of time/energy i save by not having to look at the keyboard and find each individual number.
I think typescript is such a good idea. And generics is a great addition.
The only thing I dislike about TS is the way it handles dependencies. The require/declare/import/export methodology confuses me. And on top of that there is the //<reference /> tag, and all of it seems to be relying on files, rather than on constructs in the code. Relying on files, means that I have to maintain the order of which to import what, and this becomes even harder if some of the files contain code that is not just module/class definitions, but actual statements in global scope.
I can relate. About three months ago i went from drunk daily to absolutely no alcohol. I too felt like it took a lot longer for me to unwind, but now i use my after-work-momentum to get things done at home which i neglected when i was drunk, like cleaning, doing the dishes and general hygiene. My day is generally better balanced; i run a little slower at work, and a little faster in my personal life. Thanks for sharing.
Haven't used it myself, but i would love to hear from someone who has used this, or something similar.
How useful is this kind of testing? I'm thinking that tests would have to be re-recorded a lot, if this is used while developing the site.
