What's the difference between these two objects (one is the factory pattern I think)

Explore reddit.com (7 hours, 11 min ago)

This is what I would do: var Counter = function() { var val = 0; this.increment = function() {return val+= 1;} } c = new Counter and this, I think, is a factory pattern. I saw this in the jsdev video posted yesterday here on /r/javascript. I'm not clear on why I'd use this instead of the above code: var makeCounter = function() { var val = 0, increment = function() {return val += 1;}, counter = {increment: increment}; return counter; } c = makeCounter() submitted by dogjs [link] [1 comment] (Read Full Article)

Color-coded comments

Explore reddit.com (7 hours, 51 min ago)

I had an idea the other day, and threw together a quick script to test it out. It modifies the background color of comments based on their karma score--useful if you're skimming a long post. The code: postSum = $(".sitetable").find("div.entry").length; voteSum = 0; highestKarma = 0; $(".sitetable").find("div.entry").each( function() { commentHtml = $(this).find(".unvoted").html(); if (commentHtml != null) { commentKarma = parseInt(commentHtml.replace(" points", "").replace(" point", "")); if (commentKarma > highestKarma) highestKarma = commentKarma; voteSum += commentKarma; } }); $(".sitetable").find("div.entry").each( function() { commentHtml = $(this).find(".unvoted").html(); if (commentHtml != null) { commentKarma = parseInt(commentHtml.replace(" points", "").replace(" point", "")); pct = (commentKarma / highestKarma); if ...

I was tagging a blog post with "Javascript" as one of the keywords. Suddenly, I noticed that I had mispelled the word in question, producing: Javiscript I reflected on my error for a second and saw it... Javis Crypt I thought Javis Crypt would be a cool name for a website concerning the black art of prototype based languages.

A writer’s inspiration: The English language

Explore Bit Stampede (9 hours, 39 min ago)

I love the English language. It’s crazy, complicated, and bloated, and those are all things that contribute to its amazing expressiveness. If a word doesn’t exist, someone will make it up, or rip it off from another language. It’s a quirky, twisted amalgamation of words and syntax from a broad swath of other languages. From [...] (Read Full Article)

Hey everyone, I have a theme applied to my wordpress blog but I'm looking to change two things... 1) I'd like to have the top menu bar and bottom thumbnail bar STAY ont he screen, instead of disappearing when the mouse is moved off screen. 2) In conjunction with the first change, I'd like to have the images fit BETWEEN those, instead of going behind the MENU bar and BEHIND the thumbnails.

Unbookmarking the Future of Browsing

I am needy: I want to remember URLs. Bookmarking is too manual and akin to throwing URLs in the sarlacc pit. The user-interface pieces around bookmarking have not changed in a decade.
