Tail call elimination in Javascript

(Apr 11 2008 10:33 GMT)

Leak Free Javascript Closures

(Apr 11 2008 10:33 GMT)
If you're confused about how closures in JavaScript cause memory leaks in Internet Explorer, this is for you: Leak Free Javascript Closures. Then, without leakage, you can write code like this: function attach() { var element = document. getElementById("my-element");

No more accesskeys

(Apr 11 2008 10:33 GMT)
I had accesskeys for the tabs at the top of this site, but Mark Wubben reminded me that this was very annoying, mainly because alt-d was one of them (the shortcut to focus the address bar). This makes me think that using accesskeys in webpages is not a very good idea, because you never know what the favorite shortcut keys of your visitor are.

Being filmed by 3 cameras at once!

(Apr 11 2008 10:33 GMT)
Sometimes it's really interesting to live in the centre of the administrative capital of the Netherlands. Today we had a referendum for ratification of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe. I had to vote in the city hall. As this is close to the parliament buildings a lot of camera crews had chosen the city hall to film some voters, including me. ?
