Nice idea of "promise" you have. First you toot your horn without adding any value to the conversation, and then even THAT turns out to be empty words?

This experience (for lack of a good word) is described aptly in the Pali Canon (the main texts of Theravada Buddhism). If you're interested, these are great sources of information: http://www.accesstoinsight.org/ http://www.buddhanet.net

This guy says tired a lot. If you're tired, take a nap. When you wake back up, the world won't seem such a horrid place, and you'll be able to get back to making cool software again instead of lamenting.

I don't know why. I'd love to know. It must be a really sloppy implementation.

box-shadow > 12px (radius) get's bad. It's possible to have a dozen or more elements with box-shadow < 8px (radius), and have the same performance as one element with box-shadow > 18px.

If anyone doubts whether they should read this article, let me quote: "Team members began to affect loud maniacal laughter whenever they discovered software defects. Some individuals even grew long mustaches which they would twirl with melo

Without exaggeration I can say that one line of Proust is worth more to me than 99.9% of all books out there. I am all for being open to "different experiences" (ie. reading outside the classical canon), but I have learned to be picky. Ex

Thinking you have a decent sense of what looks good just doesn't cut it, unfortunately every human being is endowed with this belief, hence the general ugliness of the interwebs. I(/we) need to know more about your experience and abilities

Fair enough, to elaborate: I became a morning person by jumping out of bed as soon as I was awake. Keep it up long enough, and you might notice (as was the case with me) that the morning becomes a fruitful and enjoyable start of the day. Th

Upon waking in winter: "does my clock say 5:30 or later"? -> GTFO of bed. In spring/summer/fall: "is the sky no longer pitch black?" -> GTFO of bed. I will cheat if I went to bed > 12:00. Why rise at insane times? Because there

Small sans is fine for web copy, but Futura really isn't. The typography at DF is excellent, with headings in Gill Sans and copy in Verdana. I favor serifs for web copy, but few stand up to scrutiny. I like Erik Spiekermann's Meta Serif[1].

Web copy set in tiny Futura is a cute idea, but don't expect people to read it.

When I have been zoning for 4+ hours, I often dream about vim and data structures. Same thing with chess, not joking.

IE just plain sucks, and they're lagging behind much and often. Suggestions about what they should do differently? Kill the whole IE project and make Chrome/FF default?

Slightly related nostalgia: when I was 12 and we'd go on a holiday I'd print 300 pages of documents like this (unix&shell commands), and memorize them for fun, and I'd make my mom test me. I felt like a f *ing wizard! More on topic: I
