   What i like most about this demo is that the code is actually very readable, and the blog article explains it very well. Most of the times the code for these kinds of demos looks like line noise :)

   Remember that .com was only ment for commercial ventures, .org for non-government organizations and .net for network providers? [1] I guess the 'TLD's shouldn't be polluted' ship has sailed quite some time ago. [1] http

   More or less. One thing that is happening in the near future is moving the responsibilities for long-term care from the national government to local municipalities, that will probably get less money for it as well.

   I remember thinking exactly the same thing when i built the new player for a big Dutch music site. Sure enough the highest voted request on Uservoice after launch was a volume control :)

   Weird how a product that's used by thousands of developers all around the world every day is still basically a one-man-show.

    When we're complaining about UX changes in Google Search anyway: i really miss the old left-hand side menu with search filters, especially with image search. They've hidden it under 'search tools' where it takes more cl

    I think this is really awesome and just donated. Some tips that might help to get even more supporters: * There should really be some kind of 'Tweet this' or 'Facebook this' link at the end of the payment process. * It&#

    I've worked on a big tablet-first site where we first built everything using Zepto, because of the assumption that 'everything would work the same as jQuery, but it's smaller and faster'. Unfortunately, we encountered a

    Nice article. Good to finally see some numbers instead of people parroting that 'jQuery is slow' without any evidence. It's clear that you should worry more about latency and parsing time than the actual library size.

    One thing where OSM really shines is the ability to downloaded maps for offline use. When i was travelling in South East Asia for two months i had an iPhone with an app that allowed me to download a part of any OSM map. Because every hotel

    When you're writing an MVC app it might make sense to inherit from something like a Model or a View.

    I don't think you get to decide what 'other people's illusions' are. If somebody wishes to be called 'her', even if, purely biological, somebody is a 'him', and it makes that someone happy, why would

    In my experience, setting a handler for every onresize event can lead to performance problems if you've got a complex layout. It's better to wrap it in something like Underscore's throttle function (1) and only let it fire ev

    I've used both Sigma.js and Arbor.js ( http://arborjs.org/ ) extensively. I liked Arbor a bit better for smaller graphs, because of its flexible API and separated drawing and math components. Unfortunately Arbor seems ab
