Having read the help text about the moon position I understand the problems. It's still so damn impressive though, I didn't mean to sound critical above :)

I was more expecting to see the link of how you did it on HN. I mean I got there from the link you posted but as this is a technical crowd I'd have thought that was the more interesting thing. As an aside, I'm very impressed tha

If this story was just a blogspam saying "Hey look I found this article from 1991 which is still relevant" then yes, because the story would be worth nothing by itself. But this story is actually an email (from 2010) written by th

Wow, best?! EVER?! Where can I find this list of unchanging objective criteria for how good a resumé is, so that I can apply them to my clearly inadequate CV?

There was never anything wrong with the table layout algorithm, what sucked was that there wasn't any way to apply it without typing your HTML rigidly to that structure. The situation still isn't perfect and flexbox is a strange a

You've answered your own question in that last sentence - if Google isn't filtering it using safesearch then it won't appear on Filther

The article is about an attacker using Google's behaviour as a form of indirection. The attacker can't be traced directly by the vulnerable site if he carried out the attack simply by triggering Google's crawler.

There's not "an" XPath for an element, as XPath describes the route you take from the root of a document to the element in question. The correct route for your situation depends on your use case. Describing an element as &q

That's all completely true, but the article that this linked article is a response to didn't draw that same conclusion from the spec, and that's what started this whole mess

That is exactly what he means. I guess it might have been explained better in the comment, but that's the whole point the article is making: that the "reference pixel" for a given display is calculated by taking a certain vis

I like this! A great demo of new standards working in browsers. As far as 3D audio goes it would be amazing to see an example which delayed audio to one ear based on the different distances from each ear to the source of the sound. This exa

I guess you're saying that even though Nintendo say it's illegal to copy SMB, it's still technically possible? It's probably illegal where you live to break the lock on someone's front door and enter their house. Th

Which part of society is obligating a person to continue paying it forward? Certainly not the previous customer, who has already driven off. And certainly not the following customer, who (if you don't pay it forward) has no way of know

You're forgetting that shorthand properties give multiple ways to set some values. This wouldn't work reversed: { border: 1px solid red; border-bottom-width: 10px; } - http://jsfiddle.net/a
