51% of readers write client-side code, while 28% said they write server-side code. Last year client-side was at 98%, so I imagine this is partly due to a changing audience on DailyJS, but it’s interesting how strong server-side development is becoming. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a survey.

Together with Google, Mozilla, and other community leaders, the W3C Web Performance working group has standardized the Navigation Timing, Resource Timing, User Timing, and Performance Timeline interfaces to help you understand the real-world performance of navigating, fetching resources, and running scripts in your Web application. You can use these interfaces to capture and analyze how your real-world customers are experiencing your Web application, instead of relying on synthetic testing, which tests the performance of your application in an artificial environment. With this timing data, you can identify opportunities to improve the real-world performance of your Web applications. All of these interfaces are supported in IE11. "If you want to know your future, look into your present actions."

Google's Portable Native Client technology gives a new Web-based lease on life for an old operating system and the games it could run. Oh, workbench, how I miss you

It's funny. I had one of that Amiga 500 computers and I remember it produced a much better image quality than the one in the emulator. I'm wondering if it's my memory that fails me or really the quality worse...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

Get out the salt, do your rain dance, and take this next bit of information as just another rumor - but Eldar Murtazin is saying that Windows Phone 9 will feature an updated UI that will drop the tile-based interface formerly known as 'Metro'. And I have some ocean-front property in Saskatchewan to sell you

So they might drop it from future versions of desktop Windows too?

The latest release of the Firefox web browser, version 26, now blocks Java software on all websites by default unless the user specifically authorizes the Java plugin to run. Alas poor Duke, I knew him well; an applet of infinite worth

No more internet banking, I suppose. At least in Denmark, where NemID uses Java and is mandatory AFAIK.

The DBA has traditionally been the person in charge of strategies, optimization, capacity planning and security for databases that store and supply information to a given application. However, it occurred to me that the role of the DBA has changed dramatically in the last few years, with a lot more changes to come. Long live the DBA!

Vegas can be quite tempting (and dangerous if that documentary "Casino" was accurate)

The DBA has a massive task that's only gotten more involved over the last decade or so.
This reminds me of something I heard one of my programming heroes say back in '06 (might've been 07.)
"We're all going to be programming in Ruby in 5 years anyway."
I asked if he minded if I quoted him on that. He said "If you feel you must."
I thought I was being a little snarky at the time. But now? I'm pretty glad I asked.

Software may be eating the world, as Marc Andreessen posits, but open-source software seems to be eating itself. And at a far faster clip. While the software world has grown used to products and their vendors dominating for long stretches (think: Microsoft in operating systems and Oracle in databases), the new world of open source is moving at an accelerated, Darwinian pace, leaving no project to rest on its laurels.

Development for multiple devices has its challenges, but there are also possibilities which aren’t typically available on desktop PCs. Consider the vibration mechanism; it’s a simple tactile feedback device which can alert you of new messages or phone calls. It’s especially useful in a noisy environment where sound cannot be heard or quiet places where it would be a distraction. "Don't ask, don't tell"
