PHP has the big benefit of being deployable anywhere. Without that fact it is unlikely that projects like Drupal or WordPress would've taken off as they have.

There was some discussion about allowing even more metadata than just the syntax highlighting hint for fenced code blocks in the Literate CoffeeScript thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4608165

Here are the tests we wrote for HTML-to-Markdown conversion. Could be useful when switched the other way around :-) https://github.com/bergie/to-markdown/blob/master/test/tests...

We're clearly in a this means war situation with all the launches targeting the Christmas shopping season... Surface, WP8, yesterday's iPad announcements, Google's event next week. All of them are clearly timed to try and steal thunder fr

I had the Transformer Prime, and used it for some light hacking and conference liveblogging. The main thing keeping me from using it for "real work" was that the keyboard really wasn't too good. I've understood the Infinity has the same key

I may have been wrong on this one, seems Nokia is indeed intent on bringing WP to those countries: http://www.slashgear.com/nokia-announces-inexpensive-lumia-5... However, 200$ is still too much.

There are many open questions here, but for example I'm not putting a lot of faith for WP in places like India or China, as the license costs and hardware requirements make it targeted for the high end of smartphones (for now). Also, the si

Indeed, I've been completely happy with more-or-less the same processing power in the computers I've used as my main workstation for the past four years. Now that computers are "fast enough", the differentiating features are things like bat

2.9 mil Lumia phones in a quarter? Why is this stat presented as "doing badly"? 2.9mil smartphones is not a terribly good number if you consider how the market has grown, and how big Nokia used to be. In Q1 2011 they sold 24mil smar

The rumor is that the Courier tablet was killed by Ballmer because it wasn't "Windows enough". So maybe the Surface / Windows on Arm / Windows RT team actually wants to get their stuff to the market

Great, have to check that out. Here is the Redactor integration for Create: https://github.com/bergie/create/blob/master/src/editingWidg...

by bergie 14y ago
The good thing about Hallo is, besides licensing and easy plugin development, the fact that it uses plain, unstyled contentEditables, so the stuff you're editing looks exactly like it will look on the real page. I integrated Redactor as ano

indeed, reportedly Google sold about a million Nexus 7s in Q3 when it was available in only some markets http://www.slashgear.com/google-said-to-have-sold-up-to-1m-n... In comparison, Amazon sold 5 million Kindle Fires from last year to e

True, though usually people would seem rather want to have their content on their own servers, and have an API the editing tool uses to save. This is the scenario Create.js was built for, allowing you to use it in a custom web app, but also
