An equally hackish alternative would be to have a floated div way off screen using the font to force loading (works for image carousel pre-loading too, but with a pretty obvious load time hit)

This was talked about yesterday ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5135911 ) with much more discussion.

It's also worth noting that maintenance people normally get more (significantly so for the more complex machines) then normal crew, and given how frequently the machines break already you start seeing the costs of a robot being more then th

Suggest he looks at open sans. It's a fantastic screen font that works very well for large headers (especially at a lighter weight), and body copy.

No, you should stick with verdana. It's fully cross-platform, designed from the start to be a screen font, and generally looks better. Alternatively, @font-face is supported by just about everything at this point, opening up the opportunity

Now THAT (international and H1B {though I will soon qualify for the much easier to get E-3 ;) }) would be useful :)

That struck me too. Are they saying no company will offer remote or visa assistance?

Security updates? The huge number of performance boosts and resource use reductions later versions have seen? The very large number of css properties and selectors added?

That's why the dual use pedals like Crankbrother Mallets (especially the mallet 2) with dual-use shoes (like 5.10 Minnaars) are so useful. Riding in clips whenever it's safe, and then when you need that ability to bail, unclip and keep on r

Assuming using the web version: click on "sort: top stories" at the top right just under the post button. Change it to most recent, problem solved. This doesn't seem to work correctly on iPhone though. Changing to top stories seems to get t

It really depends on the style of conversation. It's not unusual on some forums to use the quote block (linking to the the comment being replied to) but leave it completely empty to respond to the whole comment. people can click the link to

The only time I've ever seen flat comments work is when there is essentially no discussion (stack overflow) or where there is an obvious mechanism to indicate (and link too, ideally) the comment you're replying to. Threaded comments allow f

making a benchmark specifically to be slower on your competitors browser? Little dodgy. From everything I've read IE10 apparently is fast, and the numbers are believable from my experience doing similar things (web workers drawing fractal

Firefox nightly 20.0a1 (released today) runs the test...very well, actually.

by Trezoid 14y ago
Running the test on the latest firefox nightly results in a time of ~3 seconds, so if microsoft IS cheating by doing some browser sniffing they might want to widen the net somewhat, or end up looking bad (in 18 weeks...) The other option, a

No, Jan 2011. It's really very old.

Trying to force a "viral" campaign (and I think it's not really viral if you're putting in a huge marketing budget to spread it) strikes me as putting the cart before the horse. Sure, if it comes off it'll be great for them, but most of "vi

Redbull: Sponsoring everything cool. It is, absolutely, a genius marketing strategy. Their primary demographic just happens to be the kinds of people who watch insane sports. Brand recognition from those events is huge, and then people just

I want to know how people are fitting them in pockets. 5 inches IS far too big for a phone. That's a tiny tablet, and apparently is quite good at that...

IIRC there was actually some talk of Adobe legal stepping in to stop the use of the term "photoshop" for editing an image. For obvious reason it went no-where.

I don't understand why so few lightbox plugins (and sites with custom ones) do the actual image link properly. The image should be a link either to a page for that specific image (facebook style) or just to the full sized image itself. That

Make a list of the worst offenders (it would have to be done per site) and a userscript could easily be made for them.

using: color: transparent; text-shadow: 0 0 5px; Works way better for text on non-webkit browsers and is supported by everything but IE (and even that supports it in 10) The current form of the blur on firefox is just plain ugly, and seems

My biggest concerns are how it handles impacts and how it stops. I can just see it folding just like cardboard if it ever hit something and emergency stopping, especially in the wet, could cause all kinds of painful and expensive problems.
