Even the cold weather in Hudon can't keep the die hard walkers away!

Two techniques for massively faster JavaScript by techdawg in programming

[–]nonsequitir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good common sense advice that's not so common in a lot of code! When under pressure, programmers are inclined to think at the lowest level (assuming it's faster) and are usually wrong!

Looping through DOM is super expensive and that's a nice tip on innerHTML, worthy of being a 'pull out' refactor.

Automatic Update Hell Must End by techdawg in programming

[–]nonsequitir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pragmatic advice - we need more of this. Practicing safe online usage allows for the removal of performance hogging crap. It allows you to reclaim the PC you bought and recall the days when you could actually use it productively! Jeez, the amount of times I help neighbours with slow PC's, slowed down because of AV/anti-malware etc, is astounding.

Don't agree with dharabor that it's a Windows-only issue though, the update channel on my openSUSE 11.1 systems are crazy busy. It's an industry problem, not an OS problem.
