Tech giants like Yahoo, Google, and Pets.com started integrating the language into their own products and enabled even more widespread adoption of JavaScript.

On Earth, we use the word “burrito” to describe a tortilla filled with things you eat. Pretty simple stuff, and I’m surprised you at least got that part right. My burrito was, in fact, filled with food. In this, you and I agree and are friends.

I did it mostly for fun and to learn about how the NES worked. I learned some interesting things, so I wrote this article to share. There is a lot of documentation already out there, so this is just meant to highlight some interesting tidbits. Warning : this will be very technical! My emulator can record animated GIFs.

The former NASA researcher said he never really took the application seriously; he was just putting his hat in the ring mostly out of curiosity, and with the hope of bringing public attention to space science. But eventually Joseph — who is actua...

It linked together all of these things—and other articles, too—under the “#breaktheinternet” hashtag. This image is just a gradient between the brightest, shiniest color of Kim Kardashian’s butt and the darkest, shadowiest color...

On Shouting White Racial Slurs in Public I am a white, middle class male professor at a big, public university, and every year I get up in front of a hundred and fifty to two hundred undergraduates in a class on the history of race in America and I ask them to shout white racial slurs at me. The results are usually disappointing. Fi...

It is a heavy crown to wear sometimes, but I do it gladly. I am almost solely responsible for discovering a number of computing concepts, which is what makes me so good at DevOps. When people ask for my business card I simply write “DevOps” on something and give it to them. Rather than constantly answer a barrage o...

I have the Style guide right here prepared for an occasion such as this. It would be a mistake to debate this now. It would be truly dreadful for your ego.” I quickly tabbed to Chrome and clicked on the Style Guide I keep linked in my main bookmarks toolbar.

Featured post Next in trending Jenn Schiffer in CSS Perverts 3 min read Several hours ago I made a controversial decision to leave Node and go back to vanilla JavaScript. This proved to be an overly ambitious move that I sincerely regret, as vanilla JavaScript, unfortunately, is not backwards compatible from Node. This was quite a road block for me, since I have been spoiled by large efforts to retain backwards compatibility in open source projects like WordPress and My Library. I had to quickly change my route and go with another language that I knew had a large community in contrast to vanilla JavaScript — which was lacking in suppor...

Or maybe not. If they had, perhaps they wouldn’t merely have granted us security over our persons, houses, papers, and effects, but also our servers, phones, routers, and tablets. But, remember, these were primitive philosophers. So far as I know, Ben Franklin never even owned ...
