DSL's are great as long as you don't take them too far towards the "natural language" style of coding. For example, I find RSpec's story runner uncomfortable to work with because of the overly English-like syntax it uses. This blog post has

You actually only have to put in "yahoo.com" to log in with Yahoo's OpenID, not your whole identity url. Of course it's not perfect but his article makes it sound worse than it actually is.

I think that would be a splendid idea for a website. I'm sure deaf people would appreciate it too!

Be patient, and thankful for the sneak peek. I'm sure someone will upload it soon.

Sorry, buy I find this statistic extremely hard to believe.

I spent most of yesterday implementing openid on a site I'm developing. The problem is not the underlying mechanism but rather the way it's been presented on most sites. Remembering an openid url is counterintuitive for most people - you ha

I'm not saying he's not bright and a bad guy, or that PHP sucks. I've been reading stuff from him since '99 when I first started working with PHP. I've seen him talk. As far as I can tell, the only thing Rasmus ever really gets excited ab

Because by default IE8 will try to render sites in a standards-compliant way. If you designed your site to work around all the quirks, bugs and non-standard stuff in older versions of IE, then your site might not work properly in IE8 by def

The comic is basically saying "haha... PHP developers don't understand a bunch of .NET buzzwords." Anyway it reminds me of what Borges said about Argentina and the UK going to war over the Falkands/Malvinas: "Like two bald men fighting over

Lua An elegant, minimalistic and fast scripting language. It's like Javascript without all the cruft.

That's a good point. In 10 years I've only had to do that once. Still, I like using an abstraction layer because they tend to hide the quirks of the particular database - I use MySQL, Postgres and SQLite all fairly often, and by using PHP's

Holy layout tables batman! The UI looks like Craig's list with a little Web 2.0 gloss... not very modern to me.

As soon as their search results aren't terrible, I'll be rooting for them. But right now it's all sizzle and no beef.

No, not really. But by comparison to Dell's usual Stalinist aesthetic it's fairly nice.

This is an oldie but goodie. I think I first bookmarked that one 5 or 6 years ago, and some of those screenshots still make me laugh out loud.

Javascript, The Good Parts. One of the most clear, logical, well-written programming books I've ever read. Douglas Crockford covers more ground in 153 pages than I ever thought was possible in a tech book. An absolute gem. http://oreilly.c
