Beautiful Validation... Why have I never thought of this before?!
var user = {
validateCredentials: function (username, password) {
return (
(!(username += '') || username === '') ? { error: "No Username Given.", field: 'name' }
: (!(username += '') || password === '') ? { error: "No Password Given.", field: 'pass' }
: (username.length < 3) ? { error: "Username is less than 3 Characters.", field: 'name' }
: (password.length < 4) ? { error: "Password is less than 4 Characters.", field: 'pass' }
: (!/^([a-z0-9_-]+)$/i.test(username)) ? { error: "Username contains invalid characters.", field: 'name' }
: false
);

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
<title>Backbone.js • TodoMVC</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/base.css">
<!--[if IE]>
<script src="../../assets/ie.js"></script>

constructor dependencies vs setters

I'm re-evaluating my thoughts on constructor based dependencies vs setter dependencies in JavaScript. I'm trying to see if the same reasons we avoid setter injection in static language like C# and Java still apply in JavaScript.

In other words, why is this:

var a = new A();
var b = new B();

var c = new C(a, b);

Naming this in nested functions

tl;dr

If you must nest functions in a way that requires access to multiple this', alias outer this to something meaningful - describe the value it's holding. Treat this as the invisible first argument.

In general though, avoiding the situation (nested functions and frivolous use of this) will frequently produce clearer results.

Naming this in nested functions

I was accidentally included in a discussion on how to best name this in nested functions in JavaScript. +1's were given to this suggestion of using _this.

Giving style advice on naming nested this without a meaningful context isn't too helpful in my opinion. Examples below have been altered to have at least some context, although a completely contrived and stupid one.

Learn JavaScript concepts with recent DevTools features

Learn JavaScript concepts with the Chrome DevTools

Authored by Peter Rybin , Chrome DevTools team

In this short guide we'll review some new Chrome DevTools features for "function scope" and "internal properties" by exploring some base JavaScript language concepts.

Closures

Let's start with closures – one of the most famous things in JS. A closure is a function, that uses variables from outside. See an example:
