I know it's a silly argument but: do you think Facebook have made some A/B testing for their registration form ? Because they seems to think that the placeholder as label works well [0]. [0] https://www.facebook.com/

I don't know for others but both Chrome and Firefox hide the placeholder only when the input value is non empty. So it do not disappear when to give focus to the field.

> emotionally-detached analysis of certain pieces of software Really ? Ok so please expose us your analysis if you have one instead of repeating again an again your supposed conclusion without giving us any argument.

Well since your affirmations are never argumented nor sourced, I have hard time qualifying then as "expression of truth". They are much like "immovable opinion of a troll" to me. Again in this comment you blame Ruby/PHP/Javascript without a

I see your numerous FUD posts about Ruby, Javascript & others since a few weeks now, and I'm curious: What is your magical langage / technology that never had any security holes, nor any misconception ?

It's not the role of OpenBSD or any other distribution to provide those gems. I don't know anyone that rely on system packaging to get gems or eggs or CPAN module. And it would be silly because you can't run an arbitrary ruby/python app wit

It seems that it was true not so long ago: http://blogs.wsj.com/corporate-intelligence/2012/12/17/wal-m... And yeah they could sue me if they prove the diffamation i.e. that my statement was false and only stated in the attend to cause da

Nobody blame Twitter nor ask it to censor those tweets. There is a law in France (and in most west europe countries as UK, Germany etc) that prohibit racist/sexist/religious/etc discriminations and hate encouragement. Unlike USA, most europ

Got a link ? Of Linus being gratuitously rude with a perfect stranger ?

Linus is often rude, but AFAIK not gratuitously, but I may have missed some of his public messages. But even if it's the case, he is rude with the guys who work with him, his "captains" that he knows since a long time. He do not bash a rand

Yeah you missed the point of the article. It's not about the usefulness of the project, it's about why does notorious developers like steveklabnik (rails core team) and dcramer (lots of django related projects) are publicly bashing this pro

Did you looked at the source ? For example for the pidigits bench: The PHP version use the GM extension http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64q/program.php?test=pidi... And Ruby do it in pure Ruby http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64q/pr

It's sad to see how the FUD around the GPL is widespread. It remind me a few months ago the launch of meteor.js. I heard so much people saying that it was "not usable commercially"... And the worse is that the same people have MongoDB in pr

When you do a benchmark you usually run the code more than once. It's milliseconds. The real question is how many time the code loop. But anyway the interesting number is how many times it's slower compared to an equivalent code.

Sure it's totally doable. But contractors have the drawback to be able to leave very quickly on the other side full-timers once their trial period ended (up to 3 month renewable, so 6 month) have a 3 month period before quiting. French entr

For me this in idiomatic ruby would be: original_style = element.style.only('top', 'left', 'width', 'height') Or if you do not want to rely on ActiveSupport: original_style = Hash[%w(top left width height).map{ |p| [p, element.st

You're right, they basically reimplemented Sprockets a.k.a rails assets manager.

You win nothing by minifying CoffeeScript. This "Framework" is more a few hundred than 18 lines.

Using a better compression algorythm (LZMA2) is also planned by Debian maintainers to make gnome fit on the CD. So this commit will probably be reverted before the final release.
