You're wrong about this one but I guess that's your loss. It's a fantastic adaptation and takes what is already a great story and uses the full arsenal of film making to turn it into something truly moving. I think the market

Don't do this. It conflates so many personal/professional things it fails to give any idea whether this company is objectively good or bad and just ends up making the author look massively unprofessional. By all means call out a c

Unfortunately a few of the more visible members of the JS community seem intent on writing blog posts like this, I'm super tired of 'I have seen the light, this is the 1 true way, anybody who doesn't do this is an idiot'

I'm tremendously not keen on this, but am willing to be persuaded otherwise. I don't want to have to build my sites using Google's AMP framework and their custom elements just to get good SEO. I don't want to cache my c

I assume this is just a troll, anyone who doesn't know who Daniel Dennett is should peruse his CV sometime http://ase.tufts.edu/cogstud/incbios/dennettd/dennettdcv.htm

Your original comment was "Violent crimes is worst in EU." This is clearly not true. If you'd like to reword your comment to "UK violent crime is worst in an ad-hoc collection of countries I've decided on" I&#x

For some perspective: Rates of murder and violent crime have fallen more rapidly in the UK in the past decade than many other countries in Western Europe http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22275280 Homicide rate is less tha

This is very disappointing, the community has moved from calling out concrete examples of sexism to dog piling on anything where a circumstantial case can be made. Not very MINSWAN* The only solution I can see is to make the process 100% tr

I see one nearly every day in Lambeth in London. It's a Smart Car with "Parking Enforcement" written and a pole with a camera mounted on it attached to the top.

"After a few hours of copying files, I flip the DNS switches" WAT! Just add the domain to your hosts file with the WPEngine IP and test the site first, it's crazy to change your DNS without checking the site works first.

This is not very useful "perspective" - as far as I can see this benchmark is run using "rails s" which boots up the WEBrick server - I seriously doubt you'd find anyone using that in production! Maybe it's best to leave this as a Rails app

Just to be clear, Apple used to allow the use of the UDID for tacking which was directly tied to your device and non-deletable. They now use an anonymous, temporary, random ID that can be turned off. How is this not an improvement?

Dear CSS framework writers (not just Neat) can you start adding a section to your docs that states what Browsers your frameworks are supposed to support. This doesn't work in IE8 at all, which is fine if your not going to support it as long

I'd highly recommend The Well Grounded Rubyist by David Black http://www.manning.com/black2/ if you want a good intro to Ruby, I found it a much better intro than the Pickaxe

On a fundamental level the tools we have to build software are still pretty bad. If that wasn't true we wouldn't be seeing the massive increase in languages & frameworks that try to take the pain away. It just takes time to make an enti

I started one in 2009 ( https://github.com/dburrows/markup-builder ) inspired by Ruby's Builder library but abandoned it - it was only really useful for small amounts of code and for any sizeable project it's far better to use templates

The rise of the "opinions are not wanted here" attitude on SO is disappointing - I understand the motive but they may be kicking out the baby with the bath water.

This highlights one of the main problems with selling dev tools on the App store - it looks amazing but there's no way I'm shelling out $80 without trying it first.

Strongly agree, "The Well Adjusted Generation That Realised There Was Alot More To Life Than Money" isn't such a good op-ed title. We may get a generation of happy, socially aware people who make fantastic parents, oh noes!
