Load Disqus comments only on demand if you give a shit about page weight and your visitors. Even with no comments, i.e. an empty comment form, calling Disqus will load an extra 226Kb. If your page has comments this can be far higher. This Gist accompanies my blog post: http://internet-inspired.com/wrote/load-disqus-on-demand/
// Requires jQuery of course.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.show-comments').on('click', function(){
var disqus_shortname = 'YOUR-DISQUS-USERNAME'; // Replace this value with *your* username.
// ajax request to load the disqus javascript
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://" + disqus_shortname + ".disqus.com/embed.js",
dataType: "script",

Things to commit just before leaving your job
// Just before switching jobs:
// Add one of these.
// Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge.

// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.

A high resolution timer, set the tick duration (default 1s) and callback to be actioned on each tick - accurate to within ~1-5ms per tick and compensates automatically for drift over time.
var HighResolutionTimer = window.HighResolutionTimer = window.HighResolutionTimer || (function() {
var HighResolutionTimer = function(options) {
this.timer = false;
this.total_ticks = 0;
this.start_time = undefined;
