Simple type checking in JavaScript.
(function (root) {
var type = function (o) {
// handle null in old IE
if (o === null) {
return 'null';
}
// handle DOM elements

A Python script that checks the last-modified date of a URL against the last-modified date of a previous look at it. If the last-modified date has changed, it emails the designated address, saying so. This could be used as a cron job to periodically check for updates of any page on the internet.

Designing DownJS

DownJS

is an easy to use repository for all of your frontend javascript. I wrote that description about a year ago. As I dug into the idea, I abandonded it. Whie my intentions were good at the time, my technical plan was bad. I was planning on loading all of those scripts separately into the page. While they would be on a CDN, loading a bunch of script files separately is a bad practice - the more HTTP requests your page makes, the slower it's going to be. The best practice is to minify and concatenate all of your javascript so they can be served in one request. To avoid supporting bad web development practices, I abandoned DownJS

Today, however, there are numerous tools that can very easily solve this problem. Not only are the technical requirements of DownJS now very possible, but there have been many great examples of The Right Way to do package management. Now is the time for DownJS to take off.

The Right Way

On the technical side, DownJS would do a simple concatenatio
