Quick tip: Merge your CSS and JS. It's killing your page load time: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/131223_MJ_Q59/ Your first paint is coming it at around 1.8s. You could probably get that under the 1s mark

Something similar could probably be done with code (if it hasn't been done already). I suppose auto-formatting and checkstyles might mute some things, but I imagine you could still get a read from things like variable names, class name

Does this interact with door locks and car alarms at all? Is that even possible? At least once a week I find myself walking back to my car to make sure I hit the car alarm. I would definitely pay to solve that problem. Getting an iPhone app

Hey all, I'm on the team that built this. We also built the redesign that launched last year. In fact, this was part of that. The article pretty much nails our implementation. Point of fact: Our team is recruiting. If you dig UX projects li

At a previous company, we also found it to be a usability issue. Customers were confused when they were looking for a place to put their name, but couldn't find one. Incidentally, we encountered the same problem when we removed the "State"

It sounds like HBO is ditching Netflix to do their own streaming. Bummer. While I wish Netflix had a larger selection, the bigger appeal to me is how many platforms they support. I can watch it from Windows, my Boxee Box, my Wii, my iPhone

A spinner generated from http://www.ajaxload.info/ is 673 bytes. The minified javascript from this is ~3K. I suppose the trade off is features and flexibility, but I don't find myself needing much out of my ajax spinners.

I was a bit surprised to see an entire article devoted to this, as it's a very common in the theatrical world. Because of the short turn around time, directors are constantly having to work with new people. As well as calling people they kn

For anyone interested, you can actually make the startsWith and endsWith methods a lot faster by using strncasecmp or substr, like this: https://github.com/Nycto/Round-Eights/blob/master/src/functi... It could be a micro-optimization, but

If an actor disagrees with the director's note, the rule is to try it once and see how it goes. Once you've done that, you can toss out additional ideas or expand on it, but you have to at least do it once. If the actor simply wants to give

In theatre, we have a maxim: "Take the note." The rehearsal process is short, maybe a month max for straight plays. Once you get past the grind of blocking and memorization, the director doesn't have much time to shape and mold things to ma

I'm sure you simply meant to make this comparison based on the fact that both implementations execute scripted functions on the data store server. However, I think there is a very important distinction that warrants a clarification: Stored

I must admit that the first time I looked at Dropbox, the single folder design made me stop the train. It wasn't until months later that I realized I could set up symlinks. It was a bit of an "I feel like a dumbass" moment. With this in min

It's only a wash if your only gauge is money. If you hire him, you've potentially sacrificed moral. Sure, it isn't immediately meassurable in dollars, but it is still an important price to pay.

Wow, this reminds me of the open scenes we used to do back in college (I'm a theatre major turned programmer). The idea was to take random stream-of-consciousness dialogue and build scenes around them. It was an interesting exercise to teac

You might consider adding a popup or a footer note that describes what the stars with exclamation points do. My guess is that they either report a profane word or bookmark a word combination, but I couldn't tell you for sure. Clicking on on

I was thinking they were trying to fool duplicate content detection algorithms. Make it look unique and you might get higher search engine ranking.

I had the exact same thought. PHP is already dog slow... that's one of it's trade offs. An extra layer of indirection would kill it. Also, you are losing a few important feature of PHP by doing this: - Type hinted arguments ( http://www.php
