Quote: Node is JavaScript.Well, that's great. I can't read about it on Mozilla Developer Network right now. The layout of their website gets broken completely (being illegible) in the Android Stock Browser, it loads terribly slow in Mobile Chrome (perhaps partly because I can't even get 1mbps mobile Internet speed here), and my laptop (which I can connect with a cable to a router which allows me some 10mbps Internet speed) isn't working right now.
I've always assumed NodeJS was basically Nashorn with some web-server framework added to it. Nashorn is a JavaScript engine, but it doesn't support HTML DOM at all (and innerText is a part of HTML DOM, and not JavaScript itself). Hell, you can't even use setTimeout without some weird hacks in Nashorn. It's a lot easier to tweak a JavaScript program to work in Internet Explorer 6 than to work in Nashorn.
I've tried to use some Nashorn back when I tried to learn Java, because it's a part of the Java Developer Kit.
Quote:A 6 year old mobile phone is ancient by today's standards.I don't quite understand why some people buy new mobile phones every now and then. A decent mobile phone costs more than an average monthly wage. It's true in Croatia, and it's even more true in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the prices are generally the same, but the wages are lower. And that's assuming you are lucky and the phone doesn't need to be repaired soon. My experience has taught me that mobile phones usually cost around a half more than their price because they stop working quite a few times in the first few months.
And, frankly, I don't see that mobile phones are getting better. They are usually larger than they used to be, and therefore harder to handle and easier to break (especially with those infinite displays). And mobile browsers are still a pain to develop for, and therefore to use. They are full of quirks (I still haven't managed to make some features of my website work in Safari on iPhone) and you need to use alerts and search-bar-JavaScript to debug, much like in Internet Explorer 6 (even worse because you don't have a keyboard and a mouse to edit the search-bar-JavaScript with).
Those are just my thoughts, maybe I am missing something.
