Addy Osmani:
I'm sure most of you know about this…
No, Addy. No we did not. But that looks great, thanks for sharing!

Short-ish piece on David Walsh's blog about using DocumentFragment. It's a bit of a review, but a useful example that's worth sharing.

Interesting piece by James Padolsey; I wrote an annotated response for !undefined.

He talks about various performance optimizations (and anti-patterns), with a focus on Chrome's V8 engine and the optimizations that it performs.

-
Substack's guide to using streams in Node.js. Good stuff; also: alternatives to callbacks-everywhere.
