the bubble floats the wrong way on my macbook... if I lift the left side, the bubble moves right ...

if i lift the track pad side, the bubble moves away from me ...

I have a twitter thinger on my blog that shows a search for my blog name...

when "submit form" and "save" are the same action, it doesn't depend on browser...

keeping it in cache/locally/whatever is not "saving".

both!

sadly people call you a pendant if you end every sentence with "to the best of my knowledge" and an egotist if you don't ...

I'd still say that the lack of undo and the lack of confirmation in that particular widget makes it a bad idea... although a "get me out of here" link may very well be in order...

the people-who-know-less-about-the-web-than-me seem to crop up a lot ... oh yeah, they're the ones paying me... so generally they get what they ask for even if it does mean i have to come back in a week and remove the "please lose my changes" button...

browsers don't save things by default. that's how they are.

the thing in the interface that tells you that you're looking at a browser is up to you... in my mind, the address at the top, starting with http:// is the part of the UI that says my changes will be thrown away...

this is kinda why i'm miffed that there is an explicit "throw my changes away" button, when that's the default behaviour

an [x] button to get rid of the edit form - for don't save, or don't create (ideally with undo, but "are you sure" is good too)? maybe?

Opera did a good job of remembering what I typed in the box quite well, right up until people started adding boxes to the DOM willy-nilly!

sounds like a "Please throw away everything I just typed" button to me ...

I appreciate useful feedback

i have taken to select-all-copy before submitting anything anywhere for just this reason!

i'm pretty sure your browser's edit boxes support some kind of undo command... one that will only reset the contents of that field, rather than the whole form ...

a commonly used ticketing system has them, as does a particular bank i know of ...

you'd be surprised to hear that i had a need to use both of them in the same day and they both got me with it...

you've clearly never had any dealings with recruitment agents

sounds pretty close to what git does ... only with pubsub

isn't this what Push To Talk does?

it's fairly likely that the laws would depend on the country the winner resides in ... which would be a pain in the ass to mitigate if you plan on doing it automatically or more than once.

having said that iAnal

the asking for money bit is also in beta...

nothing ventured ...

erm, which example are you talking about?

All of them use break-and-indent-after-{, with the exception of $outside, which i wanted to comment on

I chose the logging because, log objects generally do not need to keep a lot of state, and mentioned OO being "An idiom in which you capture behavior along with state" but perhaps I could have expanded on it further.

If you don't like blessing refs yourself, use a module to hide the boring repetitive parts like you would with any other problem...

I'm pretty sure perl5's OO falls into the simplest-thing-that-could-possibly-work category, and obeys the "Rule of Separation: Separate policy from mechanism"

package Foo { } is more or less a typo... and "Sub::Exporter - the way cool kids export custom methods" is under related reading at the end.

That's some fascinating history there... I did wonder why the heck someone would implement that as class-static functions...

/me notes that his project is not a beautiful and unique snowflake, but the decaying program code as the rest of us....

Also, thanks for the feedback!
