I think something that would: * Take the original idea of Hypercard and take it into the 21st century. * Be completely open source. * Export to HTML/CSS/JS and perhaps native for performance sensitive things. * Would run as well o

Even with only six months of experience, €15 is really low for a freelance rate in the Netherlands. Remember that you usually need to reserve about half of your rate for taxes, rent, investments, etcetera, so you're actually getting pa

Given the title i was expecting a list of obvious things like 'make sure you test your web app before deploying', but it's actually more like a giant list of frontend tricks for web apps. Awesome, and a lot more useful!

Could , yes. But in practice this happens very rarely. Breaking the site because a new version is released with an old hash will happen.

For the most-common use case (people using code.jquery.com/jquery.js), this won't work. That URL always links to the latest version, which updates with every new release, hence invalidating the hash (and the developer's websi

Of course, nothing beats testing a site on the real thing (which you should do anyway). However, the Chrome tools are a big step up in development from just using the regular desktop browser. At least you can easily switch resolutions and e

Right. Then the question is: does it matter enough in performance that the user might notice it? If it's just a few ms i would be willing to trade that for better maintainability of the CSS. Or maybe you could use some kind of preproce

This looks a promising approach to the chaos that is writing reusable and maintainable CSS. I wonder about performance though, especially on mobile. Will this perform as good as regular class-written CSS, even if you have >2000 loc CSS f

An interesting read, although the color scheme of red-on-blue headers combined with green background, red for the quotes, and a green gradient for the site background is a bit too much for me.

Cool, thanks for all the recommendations people!

Bit off-topic, but do any of the readers of this topic know of a good combination of an open source (backend) tile server and a (frontend) JS zooming library for dealing with large high-resolution images, of say, something like old painting

You actually have some proof for these silly insinuating claims you're making? The Wikimedia Foundation produces monthly reports on everything that they do, and large part of donations are actually used to 'run the servers'.

Maybe this is specific per country, but in the Netherlands 'HD Ready' always referred to 720 instead of 1080.

Exactly. I think that's wonderful about this example, it's not just 250 lines of heavily compressed code, it's readable and clean.

I'm wondering if GG might be in the same league as the Segway: not a complete failure or a big hit, but a niche product for very specific things (like the city sightseeing tours done on Segways).

I love the fact that Donald Knuth, one of the most knowledgable minds about computer science, hasn't had an email address since 1990. He used to have one for fifteen years (between 1975 - 1990) but it killed his productivity so he no l

Wow, a simple idea brilliantly executed. Now i'm just hoping for someone to hack this thing together for real. Would be the most awesome MIDI controller i could imagine :)
