Yeah, we gotta eliminate those -- useless crap.
And addressing should be from most-general to most-specific.

Anders Is 100% Correct. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Maintaining large JavaScript apps is nearly, if not entirely, impossible. But Derick, You Write Large JavaScript Apps... No, actually, I don’t. Write small applications. Connect them into bigger systems. Win.

As we dedicate an increasing fraction of our time interacting with software — from airport check-in terminals and parking meters, to desktop and mobile applications — digital interface design is becoming as important as physical architecture in improving our experience of the world.

CSS was written from the beginning to be very forgiving of errors. When the browser encounters something in a CSS file that it doesn't understand, it does a very minimal freak-out, then continues on as soon as it can as if nothing bad had happened. Failing with style (sheets).

Have you ever found yourself wishing jQuery had just one more feature or wanted it to be a tiny bit faster? I know I have, but I understand jQuery can’t do everything. This is why the team at Bitovi created me, a collection of extremely useful DOM helpers and special events that complement jQuery. Well, it's one louder, isn't it?

About 900 million Windows computers get their updates from Microsoft Update. In addition to the DNS root servers, this update system has always been considered one of the weak points of the net. Antivirus people have nightmares about a variant of malware spoofing the update mechanism and replicating via it. Turns out, it looks like this has now been done. The fix is available via — you guessed it — Microsoft Update.

A report that Microsoft will hold back on Office for iPad and Android devices until it’s safely ensconced on Windows 8 tablets and Windows phones illustrates Microsoft’s quandary in the tablet age. Because a lack of Office is what's really holding Microsoft back in mobile, right?

Radia "Mother of the Internet" Perlman and the ghosts of RADM Grace Hopper, Ada Lovelace and every woman who worked in technology for the past 150 years frown upon you, sir. Women may have been invisible, but the work we did laid the groundwork for more visible advancements now credited to more famous men. "Men are credited with inventing the internet." There. Fixed it for you.

Everyone uses search. If you’re like me, you use it all the time. Which means any time you type a query into that search field, you’re hit with a deluge of messages tangentially related to what you’re looking for. That needs to change, and the best way to do it is to adapt our emails accordingly. Forward this to a friend.

Of all the noises that my children will not understand, the one that is nearest to my heart is not from a song or a television show or a jingle. It's the sound of a modem connecting with another modem across the repurposed telephone infrastructure. It was the noise of being part of the beginning of the Internet.

For several years, the industry, including Microsoft, has been working to roll out a completely new version of the Internet Protocol – IPv6 – across various devices, services, and network infrastructure. Windows releases since Windows XP SP3 have supported IPv6, making the IPv6 transition possible. We have engineered Windows 8 to keep you (and your apps) reliably connected as this dramatic transition takes place. Users should never know or care about this. That is your challenge.

For the past few years, I have seen tens of sql server boxes added in my work environment every year, meaning more complexity and overhead cost in database administration, I gradually come to a “green” design principle with two points. Less expensive to maintain... and less expensive to run?

I'm also considering running a database server on a Fit-PC.

If you think you're missing any of the qualities below, don't be offended. I didn't pick these up for a while, either, and many of them came from watching other programmers or reading their code. And if you're not that good, some tips for acquiring good developer traits.

It is also useless when you can convince the boss the whole project is unnecessary.
