YUI Compressor Meets The Batch Scripting

Mainly to work, also to investigate some good old DOS feature, I created a batch file able to make YUI Compressor more portable and easy for every Windows based client/server developer.
I wrote the story, and I described each file, plus I added a workable Zip with everything you need to understand what I have created and use it, starting with a double click into a projects/vice-versa.bat file which aim is to create from a list of files a unique YUI Compressed one.
Here is the link, the rest is up to you (comments, questions, suggestions, etc)

Resurrecting The With Statement

You might think this must be a joke, well no , this is a partial lie behind the "use strict"; directive. Roots Of The Hack // global "use strict"; function strict() { "use strict"; // top of the function return { // invoked inline withStrict: function(){ return this; // undefined }(), // invoked inline too withoutStrict: Function("return this")() }; } // the test var really = strict(); really.withStrict; // undefined really.withoutStrict; // global, BOOOOM! The Good News I have been blaming since ever the fact that use strict makes impossible to retrieve the real global object ensuring nobody in the closure redefined window or global by accident so that code is more reliable. Well, now we have the possibility to return it again when it's needed for security reasons or to be sure is the right one. // a classic code for Rhino, node, and Web var G = typeof window !== "undefined" ? window : global...

Last Version Of JSON Hpack

Update created github repository with (currently) JavaScript, PHP5 and Python versions. Update after quick chat on twitter with @devongovett who pointed out there is a similar standard called JSONDB I have created a JSONH(Flat) version . It looks slightly faster on mobile so I may opt for this one rather than Array of keys at index 0. The whole array is flat and it changes from [{a:"A"},{a:"B"}] to [1,"a","A","B"] where the empty collection would be [0] rather than [[]] . Also more details here on how to JSONH Hybrid JS Objects . A while ago I proposed a homogeneous collections optimizer nick named JSON.hpack . What I wasn't expecting is that actually different projects and developers adopted this technique to shrink down JSON size. Basic Advantage Of JSON.hpack Gzip and deflate work really good with repeated chunks of strings and this is why homogeneous collections have really good compression ratio there. However, gzip...
