Re:You Don't Need jQuery part 6: utility functions on Wednesday January 21, 2015 @03:34PM (#8925547)
Im confused what limitations are you refering to? anything that you can't do with jQuery you can still do with straight java script. Just cause you use the framework does not me you are shackled to it. As for the using tables.. these two things are fundamentally different one has a place and is horribly misused when used for layout. The other is a framework that adds a wealth of functionality and additional functionality via plugins.

While I agree with the author in his previous posts in this series. anyone coming up into web development or front-end design should first grasp javascript and then learn how to use frameworks like jQuery. However I think that what these frameworks offer is faster prototyping and easier maintenance of web applications. Quickly accessing the api for functionality is often essential in quick turn around where creating all the functionality each time would add more time to a project. But as with all things in life we should be mindful of each and everything we load and pick and choose carefully.

Re:If Sony Hack Wanted to Stop 'The Interview' Release, It Worked on Wednesday December 17, 2014 @06:14PM (#8765017)
Agreed... This is a terrible precedent that only show everyone in the world how easily we fall back on our principles and values.

I think that Judd Apatow and Jimmy Kimmel said it best on twitter..

"I think it is disgraceful that these theaters are not showing The Interview. Will they pull any movie that gets an anonymous threat now?" - Judd Apatow

" @JuddApatow I agree wholeheartedly. An un-American act of cowardice that validates terrorist actions and sets a terrifying precedent." - Jimmy Kimmel

I can't believe that it has taken this long. Didn't Foundation drop IE Support like 2 versions ago?

Maybe they are afraid of compromising or losing unethical connection that they may be nurturing with some of these companies.

Please no... Samsung needs to stick behind Android, and stop trying to be a singular ecosystem like Apple.
