What is Digg?113 Comments
- phytar, on 10/11/2007, -5/+135This is the JavaScript library that Digg uses to power its site, it just got a big speed boost in this release so this is bound to help out the main Digg site as well!
- Hoov, on 10/11/2007, -0/+54You were busy digging iPhone stories.
- brettmjohnson, on 10/11/2007, -9/+62"Wouldn't be great if... Oh, I don't know - the summary actually mentioned what jQuery was."
You could:
a) Use google: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JQuery
b) Make up your own story [this is more fun]: "jQuery is a large inter-galactic space bird that arises from the ashes of a smoldering web server. It can fly 800% faster than 20 Klingon Battlecruisers." - Angostura, on 10/11/2007, -7/+57Wouldn't be great if... Oh, I don't know - the summary actually mentioned what jQuery was. As it is - many thanks phytar.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+23jQuery got dugg :-(
- brettmjohnson, on 10/11/2007, -8/+27I do find this annoying. How to guarantee a successful launch:
1. Create website using WordPress. Extra points if website includes large pictures.
2. Announce on digg, slashdot, and reddit that "Xyzzy v1.x is now available". Make no indication what Xyzzy actually is.
3. Profit?
Rather than breaking the comment system, the digg developers could dramatically improve the user experience simply by periodically pinging links in the main story, looking for "Wordpress error" in the response, then disabling the link or rewriting to digg mirror.
Better yet, when a digg user submits a new story, the digg engine could examine the http headers of target links. If the site is hosted using Wordpress, immediately cache it into digg mirror and inform the poster that "In 5 minutes, your site will look like this: 'Wordpress Error'" - phytar, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20Oops - that should be: http://docs.jquery.com/Sites_Using_jQuery
- HairyFotr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18But not 800% faster than 21 Klingon battlecrusiers.
- Kailash.Nadh, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18The WordPress White Screen of Death loaded faster than jQuery.
- redeye666, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17For those wondering what jQuery is, it's a lovely little Javascript library/framework that allows developers and web designers to create very cool client side actions. It's very simple to use, abstracting much of the hardcore Javascript from the scripter/programmer. Designers can use it to affect the DOM in many ways without actually knowing how it works, which is great. Take a look at http://www.ok-cool.com/posts/jquery whilst the jQuery site is Dugg to death... :)
- manitoba98xp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16Hmm...not only has Digg not upgraded, they're using the uncompressed version of jQuery...
- TastyLamp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14They switched from prototype to jQuery when they did this new comment system.
- Tippis, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14True, I guess... compared to 21 KBs, it would fly about 809% faster, since the larger fleet is harder to coordinate, which forces them to reduce speed slightly...
/silly - sacherjj, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12I knew Digg used prototype scriptaculous. I didn't know they were also using jQuery. Will this speed increase keep the comments javascript from hanging my browser when I open 10 stories coments in tabs? Doubt it.
- nlogax, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14jQuery is insanely great and amazingly fun, try it out if you haven't already!
- Rickard, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12Sometimes an 800% speed improvement just doesn't cut it :D
- logic, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14Wow, it is! When did Digg switch to jQuery? I totally missed that.
- Rickard, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Forgive me, but wouldn't this mean that this site would be broken in Safari? It isn't.
- timdorr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Well, it will probably reduce that hanging time by about 800%
- stockjones, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12Any issues with the comment system is an implementation thing. It has nothing to do with jquery. Jquery just gives you great easy methods to do some cool dom manipulation and ajax stuff.
- SirThom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9digg hasn't updated to version 1.1.3 yet:
http://digg.com/js/19/jquery.js - bmsterling, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13A great library just got better!! The list of sites (http://docs.jquery.com/Sites_Using_jQuery) using jQuery will only grow even more.
- Ryosen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Well, it sure as hell ain't a good one!
- tuartboy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9So I assume that means you know assembly?
- MellerTime, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Klingons do NOT reduce speed, you fool!
- XIUgraag, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7You mean http://www.duggmirror.com/ ?
- bmig, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7is this a (bad) joke????
- sacherjj, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10Is that why everything slowed down so bad?
- sandb, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Its a javaScript library (thus to be used when writing javaScript code that makes your HTML page "dynamic"). The functionality jQuery provides is particulary handy for things like "selecting" parts of your html and doing stuff with it, e.g. give me all the 's that have class "x" and change their background color.
- sacherjj, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Your comment make me weak.
- sandb, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5should have been ...e.g. give me all the 's that have class "x" and change their background color.
Btw, you install it by putting the script in the directory of your website and including it using a <script> tag in your html page. - WhoDey, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6"Designers can use it to affect the DOM in many ways without actually knowing how it works, which is great"
And *this* is the problem with programming today. There's nothing wrong with using tools to make your life easier/shorthand your coding, but good programmers should always know what the tool is doing behind the scenes. - darkyoshi, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8You're doing WHAT to the post?
- bmig, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5yea, "wow" ....
- cloudyprison, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5But they've got nothing on the Vogon Constructor Fleet.
- KelliShaver, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Yay! I loves me some jQuery. This is excellent news.
- reybango, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Tiger, if you can post the issue on the mailing list, you'll most certainly get a reply. When you go to the mailing list, please try to be as detailed as possible so we can help resolve your issue.
- logic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4When was the last time you checked? ;)
- phytar, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5You're kidding, right? jQuery is 3x faster than Prototype in Internet Explorer. You know, that browser that everyone actually has to support and that everyone still uses?
- sonu27, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4http://duggmirror.com/programming/jQuery_1_1_3_800_Faster_still_20KB/
- BenedictArf, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4How does JQuery compare to other javascript frameworks? I recently had a look at various frameworks and decided to give MooTools a try (my decision was based mainly on the quality of the demos and the tutorials I found).
- bmig, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Here is the Google code links
[Compressed] http://code.google.com/p/jqueryjs/downloads/detail?name=jquery-1.1.3.pack.js
[Un-Compressed] http://code.google.com/p/jqueryjs/downloads/detail?name=jquery-1.1.3.js
[Docs Source Code] http://code.google.com/p/jqueryjs/downloads/detail?name=jquery-1.1.3-release.zip - sandro, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6How about you just look for a 404 instead of "Wordpress Error"...meh
- theundefined, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Haha, I'll figure out where you live and punish your for this lie! ; )
- brayan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4jquery on google codes
http://code.google.com/p/jqueryjs/downloads/list - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5For those of us that do not know what this is or how to install it, will someone properly reply with such information?
- Lochie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jquery
I'm still not quite sure. :| - ThatBlokeRob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Speed comparison on all frameworks
http://jquery.com/blog/2007/07/01/jquery-113-800-faster-still-20kb/ - reybango, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3In what way? Have you reported it on the list? Do you an example? We'll be happy to help you but you need to post it on the list so we can see what's happening.
- reybango, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3These statements are so off base. If you're going to make such generalized statements, at least have the courtesy to cite examples. "blog before code crowd"?? I have no idea what you're referring to. The code thats developed is based on what the jQuery community needs and asks for and if caring about the community's needs makes us bad in some way, them I'm definitely an SOB. We have one of the best communities out there and we value their opinions and don't plan on changing that.
As for testing addons, every official addon, which are clearly listed on our plugins page, is tested against every new release. We have well over 100 community contributed plugins, most of which are maintained outside of the project by their respective authors. Its completely unfair for you to try to make people believe that its our responsibility to test out every plugin contributed by the community and independent authors. And as for conflicts, you don't even provide anecdotal evidence. Where are the conflicts? Which plugins?
MooTools is a fine library and its great that they have someone who is anxious to promote it but please don't be so irresponsible as to mislead people with your false statements. -
