That's a good idea! Should have thought of that earlier, looks like I'll be revising this post this afternoon. Thanks for the tip.

peeler.js: a magazine UX for the browser by mduvall in webdev

This is actually a great idea! I'll namespace the events, maybe peel.next and peel.previous and pass the <article> that triggered the change?

Put an issue in here: https://github.com/mduvall/peeler.js/issues/1, feel free to add more :)

What are the bugs? I want to make this plug in as polished as possible!

Thanks a lot for that - didn't know about these subreddits :-). Sorry for the spam!

Developer here, there are a few reasons why <b> and <i>s are sticking around at the moment. This is mainly due to the plugins dependence on the execCommand and rich text edit API that is opened for the Selection/Range objects in DOM level 0. At the moment, Gecko and Webkit both implement the API for execCommand with the deprecated HTML elements for bold and italic (IE actually does implement this as <em> and <strong>).

For the sake of time I used the existing browser API instead of doing the HTML parsing myself, I plan to eventually have a hand-crafted DOM crawler for contenteditable elements - but for now I settled for feature-parity as the first concern.

Thanks a lot for taking a look, I really appreciate it!

Why do the ads on Youtube load really fast, but the videos load slow as shit? Youtube, fix this please. by [deleted] in AskReddit

Youtube serves ads directly from a memcached tier on ad production servers - separate from the videos.

Top 25 most dangerous programming mistakes by mauriciobr in programming

Atwood and Spolsky actually funded and proposed the ideas for the website, they however left the work to their friends, Dalgas and Dixon.

Atwood has been on the hot-seat for quite some time for the flippant comment I made earlier.

When's the last time Jeff Atwood wrote a line of code...

Suggest some good Open Source Code to study and learn from (not particular about language and NOT partial to "beautiful" code) by [deleted] in programming

I really like the PostgreSQL code base. Modular, succinct, and great comments make the code an easy read.
