I keep a git repository[1] of my son's (1,5 years old) keyboard hammering. He "types" until he accidentally leaves insert mode in Vim or leaves the computer, and then I commit it. In 5-10 years time I hope to be able to do some real-time vi

I have had both http://w3schools.com and http://www.w3schools.com in my block list for months, but w3schools still show up in my search results, and with www and not wwww or www1 or something like that. :-(

I get email services from my VPS provider and use it with a desktop email client or, increasingly, on my phone. They have a crappy Squirrel webmail that I very rarely use.

Just like with HTML/CSS and responsive design, you can use media queries in SVG images. That way you could do the optimizations suggested in the article, including changing colours, hiding details, etc. Take a look at the demo links at htt

Swede here, and as paranoid as the next person. I moved from Gmail due to privacy concerns. I block a lot of tracking domains at DNS level. However, those are trade-offs with very little negative impact in my daily routines. A slightly wors

This is preferable to :hover if it works ok cross-browser. I think/hope that most web developers have realized by now that displaying new UI-elements on hover is a bad idea, at least if they will hide other elements. Moving your mouse aroun

JavaScript Jabber has managed to get some very interesting guests, but the host is not at all experienced with JavaScript, which is pretty annoying. The JavaScript Show is better in that regard.

I don't understand how anyone using version control can use one liner CSS. There is code folding in all decent text editors.

There is a Swedish movie review site ( http://filmtipset.se ) which gives you a predicted rating determined from your previous reviews. They are venturing into books and wine, using the same algorithm. Unfortunately they seem to be better m
