You believe people should go to bars with the expectation they'll be sexually assaulted?

This has been cycling around at Bleeding Cool for months. Their latest update explains how the still unsubstantiated rumour got out of control http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/10/06/video-sky-news-get-in...

Changi in Singapore was by far my favourite airport. Free console and lan gaming! And a free cinema too.

What about the flip side - did Elop stand to gain more or less if Nokia had succeeded during his tenure?

Hoisting still occurs within a scope such that, for example, a function defined at the end of a block can be called at the top.

by iMark 13y ago
Out of curiosity, what do you mean by non-hoisting properties? According to the MDN docs let variables are hoisted, at least to the enclosing block.

Don't forget that the advancement of Jony Ive to oversee both software and hardware is still a relatively new development at Apple. All the design changes in iOS 7 have been done in little under a year, following the ousting of Scott

You're playing devil's advocate, right?

I can imagine scenarios where it might increase battery life - prefetching means that you won't be staring at the battery hungry screen while waiting on data to load, for example.

I wonder if the differing climates between Las Vegas and London played a part.

This reminds of the emphasis Apple is putting on depth in iOS 7 interface. Lots of interesting things to be done with this sort of tech.

Microsoft's definition of family is extremely generous - in short it can include your friends, and doesn't appear limited by geography. See the "It's a 'family' affair" side box: http://arstechn

I'm deeply in love with Zoe Keating's work. She's a cellist who composes and records her own music, building compositions using a looper. It's beautiful stuff, and I find it perfect for coding.

I've worked on too many projects where I've received a spec and concluded that only a room full of people arguing without reaching agreement could have produced something so bad.

I'm not a games developer, but I can relate to what Daniel wrote about game forms, after playing Bioshock Infinite. I love the game, but I did so mostly for elements of the design and story, rather than the game play. That it was an FPS co

The issue isn't unique to invisible fonts - in all the cases you mentioned the text would be visible to search engines but not users.

by iMark 14y ago
As you say, if you know that the font you're loading has different metrics this approach will work, but if you have to make that sort of assumption it's not a generalised approach. If you know that one font has zero width dimensions and one

by iMark 14y ago
I'm interested in the technique suggested for font loading. As an exercise I just created a font containing a single character at zero width. The resulting file size is considerably smaller than Blank (1440 bytes, versus 80k) which makes

As much as I love the 404, even more so I adore the immediate response of the hacker news community to find the best way to save all the lemmings. Bravo!

The cpu utilisation of that page is quite impressive.

Part of the problem with JavaScript is that prototypes are an inherent part of the language, but wrapped up behind syntactic sugar that hides them away on the fringes of the language. If you've created an object in JavaScript, you've used p

Really nice explanation on a subject way too many JavaScript developers are ignorant about. Definitely worth a read if you've any interest in the language. I agree with the comments that there's nothing inherently wrong with prototypes (th

It's not just a matter of cost, it's a matter of space. Every millimeter counts on a mobile device.

Importantly, it's also likely to be the first example, and failing at the outset will make it difficult to gain any sort of traction.
