I was wondering where is all the money was going. It's clearly the newly announced Asus Chromebox, which starts at $179[1]. I haven't seen the high end price, but according to the spec sheet[2], the only difference is the CPU. The

My dad introduced me to HTML through a program called hotdog pro when I was a kid. He's a professor and was using it to make class websites. Since he was an early adopter of new technology, that rubbed off on me.

I notice this kind of article a lot these days. I feel like it's trying to come up with something to write out of nothing.

It's not that bad when combined with other methods of positioning, but remember, back then there was nothing else available, meaning you had to use tables for everything. Of course, the biggest problem was the lack of classes, meaning

I write my HTML semantically primarily for myself. It's far easier to read, debug, and develop when the structure makes sense and isn't littered with a dozen nested divs with incredibly complicated class names.

Semantic HTML isn't about formatting HTML as a data format. That's not what HTML is. It's about formatting HTML as a sane to read document. It makes it more accessible, more understandable, and easier to develop when the stru

Not too long ago I saw the best simple solution to vertical centering. It was so obvious: position: absolute; top: 50%; transform: translateY(-50%); Translate is processed at the end, meaning it is based on the final element height. This me

I was on the fence before, but this seals the deal. At its price point it's a no-brainer now.

I want to know how much overlap there is between mobile gaming consumers and console/pc gaming consumers. Has mobile gaming stolen away any of the spending of the console/pc gaming demographic? Or has it instead created an entirel

Beyond that, there's a very limited range of games smartphones can support. Because of the lack of dedicated physical buttons, most action game just do not work. The action games that do well are runners, because they remove nearly all

Couldn't they also only serve up the fix to affected chrome browsers by checking the user agent string in the request header? That way they give the most effective format based on the browser and os requesting it.

I think it starts far earlier than that. I know the reason why I and many others are in programming. Legos and video games. Your interests are shaped from the toys you play with and the activities you do from infancy. Stop giving girls doll

How to get more female programmers? Parents need to stop giving their girls dolls and start giving them legos.

I think one major difference is that programming languages are mostly imperative while mathematical statements are more declarative. When you're solving a mathematical equation, you are typically given a statement which you need to tra

I've heard plenty of bad things about Toshiba customer support last time I was looking for a laptop. It's not too hard to find complaints about them.

That seems like a great program. I too am skeptical about their ability to find enough CS teachers that are qualified to teach, so I hope they have a plan other than giving random teachers a book and setting them on their own. If you haven&

What I value most about my degree is understanding the full technological stack of the computer. You never know where your next improvement might come from, and knowing CS broadens your possible angles of approach so you can tackle a proble

I'm not a huge fan of the new design. Nothing is really strongly defined so my eyes have no idea where to look. Everything just blurs into each other.

Outside the fps genre are video games really that gender based? Pretty much every Nintendo game is enjoyable by boys and girls. Many ubisoft games are gender agnostic, all puzzle games are. I'm not a big fps guy so looking at my person

It might just be the unfamiliarity, but I have a feeling that a benefit of 24fps is that while it loses data, your mind fills in the details to make it more believable. At higher framerates I have a subtle feeling that the acting seems more

What I love about Jekyll and Github pages is I get all the backup that git provides. The likelyhood of me losing my hard drive data and Github losing my data at the same time are nil.

My problem with that answer is that it doesn't tell me much about the engineer. It's a one sentence response and other than showing me that you know the right library to use, doesn't show any other depth. It's one step a

Littering an unfunny writeup with profanity doesn't make it funny, it just makes you sound like a middle schooler.

So is the target audience non technical people (or people who can't be bothered)? Sounds like a good idea. I love jekyll, but I can't recommend it to anyone not comfortable with HTML and CSS.

I'm not sure I see how a habit and frequency of use aren't synonymous with each other? I think the two axis should be perceived (or actual) utility, and seamlessness (inverse of attention required). If something is incredibly usef
