jquery 1.3 breaks the bfcache because it binds the onunload event. This makes the back button slower and more annoying. See https://developer.mozilla.org/En... for more info on the bfcache.

- Benjamin Golub
So is the bfcache part of the reason that Firefox tends to use so much memory?
- Robert Felty
I don't know why Firefox uses so much memory, but the bfcache is a good thing, and people should avoid breaking it.
- Paul Buchheit
Odd, the issue trail seems to suggest this was only added to address problems in IE and Firefox 2, but Resig is reluctant to remove it for other browsers due to tidiness issues? Seems like there's a part of the story missing.
- Mark Trapp
The point of the bfcache is that the page is left intact so that it can be restored very fast. This practice of doing manual de-allocation on page unload is insane -- it's sadly necessary for IE, but is not something that we should be doing for non-broken browsers.
- Paul Buchheit
Here is one way to fix it: $.event.remove(window, "unload"), but I don't know if jquery1.3 is depending on this event. For now, I may just stick with 1.2.1.
- Paul Buchheit
Thanks for the fix Paul, we're still using 1.2.6, which appears to have the problem, too. Nobody's complained about it yet, but this is probably going to be a larger issue for us in the near future.
- Mark Trapp
Has anyone found a workaround for this yet? E.g. is there a way to use jQuery without breaking bfcache so that browsers can 'remember' form values?

"Hipmunk only displays flights that you’ll actually want to take, and it displays them in a user interface that shows you exactly how much you’ll pay and how long you’ll be traveling. When you see the results (see screenshot for example), you’ll never want to see flight results in any other format. It’s one of those that’s so obvious why didn’t I think of that moments. And all results are on one long page, making sorting and comparing much easier."

I wonder how it knows which flights I'd actually want to take.

It hides (under a button) the ones that are obviously bad because they leave earlier, arrive later, and cost more. Orbitz always shows me these dumb flights with 10 hour layovers.

The UX is remarkable. Little things like Tabs, Permalink (that remembers all my searches) are very useful! And even though these features may seem "small", I believe that a lot of effort must have been invested to get them working so speedily. Just one last comment is that the prices are a little confusing though.

That *is* cool (that it's built on Tornado). Makes me think about that conversation/debate in Wired today http://www.wired.com/magazin... where O'Reilly says that "Openness is where innovation happens."

A small but brilliant touch: a help file "tip" displayed while a request is processing. For software in general, I almost never want a random tip screen on application open, but having it in place of "Please wait..." makes a lot of sense.

Southwest is still way cheaper for the two flights I just booked (like 20% cheaper). And I like swa's UI for playing with dates a lot too.
- Michael Leggett
And while I agree that this display is way better... I *hate* how pricing is displayed. I'm always confused what the price means. It says $378 under price. Is it $378 per leg or for the entire flight? Is it per person or for both people? I'd go so far as to say it is a bug that the final button says "Buy on Orbitz ($378)" and then Orbitz tells me it is in fact $756 b/c the $378 figure was per person (but never explained as such).
- Michael Leggett
Michael: I agree. I never understood why you always have to tell it how many passengers on the search screen, but the the prices are per-passenger.

I would seriously probably buy a farm in some place really pretty and grow corn and vegetables and other stuff (maybe I'd buy a cow or two). I'd then run a tech business out of my house, probably using other people's investment while I invest in the farm and other resources (leaving plenty aside to decide what else to do with).

"Before he made his millions, Gilmore was a journeyman programmer who had moved to Silicon Valley from the East Coast in 1978. He says he grew up believing in absolute truth, and that the world was just a puzzle to be solved through logic and reason. Then he started experimenting with drugs. "My experiences with psychedelics convinced me that there was more mystery in the world than that," he says, "and that our perceptions are not as closely matched to reality as we believe." He says he was stunned by the realization that "having a small amount of a particular chemical in your bloodstream can change your perceptions of the world. "It sort of taught me that our relationship to reality is a little bit fuzzy. It's mediated through our senses and through our expectations. That knowledge has helped me puzzle my way through a bunch of situations in both programming and business, sort of not taking the obvious at face value but looking around the corner to see, well, how does it look from that angle?""

"At the time, psychologists assumed that children’s ability to wait depended on how badly they wanted the marshmallow. But it soon became obvious that every child craved the extra treat. What, then, determined self-control? Mischel’s conclusion, based on hundreds of hours of observation, was that the crucial skill was the “strategic allocation of attention.” Instead of getting obsessed with the marshmallow—the “hot stimulus”—the patient children distracted themselves by covering their eyes, pretending to play hide-and-seek underneath the desk, or singing songs from “Sesame Street.” Their desire wasn’t defeated—it was merely forgotten. “If you’re thinking about the marshmallow and how delicious it is, then you’re going to eat it,” Mischel says. “The key is to avoid thinking about it in the first place.” In adults, this skill is often referred to as metacognition, or thinking about thinking, and it’s what allows people to outsmart their shortcomings.

This is an interesting quote because it implies that "will power" is more about mental strategy, not some kind of mental strength for forcing yourself to do something. I have the same strategy with food -- I eat whatever I see, so in order to not eat something I just need to put it out of sight.

Sometimes I worry my metacognition is slowing me down because I'm spending less time just cogniting. (that oughtta be a word.) But no, in all seriousness, I think something, then realize the thought was there before I subvocalized it, and then I go in a circle several times subvocalizing those same thoughts as I examine the process of thinking. Frustrating!

Some friends and I refer to this study often, pointing out when we've failed the marshmallow test. Staying up late is my most common mashmallow test failure (sacrificing morning time to enjoy a few more bleary hours NOW), but it's easy to spot this sort of behavior and fun to have a standard vocabulary to highlight its ubiquity.

As a parent, I consciously used this strategy to distract my children whenever they got in mischief, behaved badly or acted out. As a grandparent, I often send a box of tricks, things like super balls, an "uno" deck, paints, a book, a yoyo or top, for my daughter to use with my grandchildren when they are driving her crazy and need to think about something other than running around screaming.

Today my 4yo daughter was having trouble waiting for a treat, so I told her (and my wife) about reading this article last night. I talked about the ability to distract - and I thought I was doing a pretty good job of explaining it in 4yo terms. When I was done with my paraphrase/lesson, I asked her if she understood. "Uh-huh," she said. Then after a few moments, she asked if we could stop and get some marshmallows on the way home. All I could do is laugh!

I read a different writeup of this experiment a couple years ago, when our daughter was about 1 year old. Its something that can be taught, and encouraged. She's now very good at distracting herself from something which she knows she shouldn't do or would get into trouble over. She's not easily distracted in general: she can focus quite well on something she wants to do (and is allowed to do).

I hate date formats. How many years finding bugs in other people's code where a particular date format is simply assumed? User entered '10/7/2009' so is that 10th of July or 7th of October? Can't rely on regional settings as the number of times that's been set incorrectly or not set at all because it's a remote connection beggars belief. And then there's the code that didn't realise that SQL Server was storing in native US format so every time it was read and rewritten to the database it flipped over. Hate.

You're right Jesse - it's not exactly Track but it's getting a lot closer. The old Twitter Track allowed you to set up multiple search terms (e.g. track iphone) and get those delivered to your IM with zero time lag. At any time you could type "track" to see what you're currently tracking and "untrack" to untrack something - e.g. "untrack iphone". There are some third party tools that...

Paul, is there a way to change the title of the embed? The long search string looks kinda bad.
- Jesse Stay
Mike, Twitter offers that today. Gillmor says it's not Track.
- Jesse Stay
Marg, after you do a search, click the "Share / embed search" link to get the embed code.
- Dan Hsiao
Jesse, are you sure? Can you provide a URL describing this feature? I think you're referring to Twitter Search (and saved searches) which is totally different.
- Mike Doeff
Mike, it's in beta and available to developers, but it's back, minus SMS support: http://staynalive.com/article...
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, when / where did Gillmor say that isn't track? I'm pretty sure that Steve just wants the old track brought back, with some filtering capabilities added (the old Track didn't filter out blocked accounts).
- Mike Doeff
Yay! Have been eagerly awaiting this. :)
- Rick Turoczy
Mike, he's said in various comments. Looks like Track to me... Heck, it's even called "track".

BTW this is on staynalive.com now (look in the sidebar): http://staynalive.com/

Jesse - you can hide the ugly search bar with a little quick CSS - it's <h1> under an easily identified class.
- Daniel J. Pritchett

Daniel, good idea - I'd love to change the title more than that though.

Good stuff although should support negative operators such as I should able to search my name in the all posts NOT coming from me. I've tried "from:-username" but it doesn't seem to work.
- Ferruh Mavituna
OK, you guys are wicked talented! It's kind of scary, but I love it. So what's next? Just kidding:)

Ferruh: you just have it a bit backwards... try -from:username instead :)

How can we embed FriendFeed search?
- Mike Reynolds
Mike - There's a link at the top of the search just beneath the red bar.
- Mitch
A box will pop up, take the HTML code from the bottom of that box.
- Mitch
Thanks Mitch!
- Mike Reynolds
Nice the embedding code can be dynamic.... <iframe src="http://friendfeed.com/search..." frameborder="0" height="600" width="400" style="border:1px solid #aaa"></iframe>

Thanks @Ross it works fine now, love the RSS output.

Highly addictive--great stuff! I did notice that if you do a search like [google] you'll see dupe stories streaming by quite a bit (e.g. the TechCrunch story about Google Voice shows up over and over right now). Not sure if it's possible to de-dupe based on destination url a little bit more?

two months after redesign, we have access to real-time search. good news bc my preferred search engine is friendfeed. ;)

My cousin dl'ed the Moron Test and tried to get me to take it. I told him he'd already failed because he was a moron for buying it in the first place. He was unamused. I wasn't.

To be fair, he's kind of a tool, so it's less a reflection of the app and more a reflection of how much I want to throw him off the nearest high-rise.
