• Defining Function And Callback Interfaces In TypeScript

  Posted on Jan 26, 2017 at 8:37 AM

  I think your tl;dr was the last sentence's paragraph. Am I reading that right? Was the point of this blog post to say, "Don't use the lambda syntax with interface constructs so that they can be exportable to other modules?" Might I ask where you are using TypeScript currently? I'm interes... read more »

• Maintaining JavaScript Date Values During Deserialization With A JSON Reviver

  Posted on Jun 29, 2016 at 8:42 PM

  Okay that's pretty awesome. I had the same " you mean to say...?!" moment. Why didn't they just make the deserializer handle dates properly if it had this ability already??... read more »

• Invoking A ColdFusion Function With A Closure-Like CALLER-Based Variable Binding

  Posted on Jan 14, 2010 at 12:20 PM

  I know about as much ColdFusion as a mitochondria, but I wonder that this looks like standard OOP. The scope of your variables remain in effect until and unless you trash them or step outside of the closure. Is this something not normally found in ColdFusion? Did I miss something....?... read more »

• Creating A Sometimes-Fixed-Position Element With jQuery

  Posted on Jan 12, 2010 at 12:02 PM

  I almost wanna say that this can be done with a div and CSS....YES! Just looked it up. The operative CSS code is 'position:fixed.' One of my favorite things to do with Excel is to freeze the header row so that it is always visible. I recorded a macro and set it to a button for this reason It's somet... read more »

• Embedding Secret Messages In An Image Using ColdFusion

  Ben, As I was sitting here reviewing your code I found myself wondering how to do something similar. I imagined doing something along these lines: As you type each letter it is simply replaced with a single pixel of color. So if you type the letter 'a' it would map to a blue pixel (or perhaps a gree... read more »

• Creating A Bidirectional Infinite Scroll Page With jQuery And ColdFusion

  Posted on Jan 11, 2010 at 1:15 PM

  I like this approach. It reminds me of those Firefox and Chrome extensions that auto-paginate. The next 'chunk' of content is appended to the bottom of the page. They don't remove in the other direction, though. As an aside, I always have wished that the Google search results page would do this. I... read more »
