In the meantime, make no mistake, Apple continues to sweat the details on these events. This year they customized the entrance to the gallery building at Yerba Buena Center, ripping out the doors in the back — just for this event — to crea

I used this to start up an extension for use internally with my company for quickly adding discussions to a Basecamp project. Definitely takes care of a lot of the basics for you. Back when I used it, some pieces weren't maintained any

I think the end of the argument is a bit short-sighted. [edit: not "argument" - "article"] If your child has potentially powerful skill with computers, you should not simply make sure they aren't DDoS'ing and s

Added this to a gist - https://gist.github.com/jcutrell/7165336 - might would be useful if someone could get this to the place where it's highlighting properly (me or anyone who wants to fork). I'd like to le

I can't seem to find it - may be a bit longer than they want to post. I'll dig around some more.

If anyone saw this briefing, it was mostly a lot of really technologically illiterate people asking pointed questions about a gigantic set of systems that can't easily be answered to technologically illiterate people. At one point, a c

Fair comment. I suppose I mean that The Beatles were a large catalyst in shifting culture, in that they mark the beginning of rock and roll and TV-casted, stadium-oriented performance and stardom. More importantly, this was a new wave in ma

It really would be good to know definitively if this hackathon allows "mobile applications" that are web-based (not just native).

I for one am very excited about all of the new functions and classes available. http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_3.7 - things like wp_extract_urls() and a WP_Http_Streams class look really exciting. Not so excited about a

Knockout certainly doesn't get as much attention as it should. For those of you reading this comment feed to find out if you should try Knockout, I'd recommend trying it. It is fairly simple to pick up in a weekend, especially wit

Seems like this page could definitely benefit from some sort of Hello World. What are the primary components, and how do I run it? Perhaps it's not meant to be a simple library, so I'm not trying to say dumb it down. But is there

Well of course they are going to say things like this. They know that GoDaddy has a bad reputation, and for good reason. We all have our stories about why GoDaddy is awful. But let's consider this: a company doesn't get rebuilt in

I completely identify with this. Certainly, some of this is introversion, but more of it is science. Peruse Hacker News for a few days and another article will pop up justifying what we all feel when we're at work: interruption is pois

I think this would do a bit of a disservice to the disabled person. I'd think creating a somewhat dishonest alternate or augmented reality is a recipe for disaster. (What happens when he takes the glasses off and realizes that everythi

Logistically, this is a pretty big expense; there must be a significant number of people involved to make this happen, considering the likely FAA regulations concerning flight numbers. Hats off to both the airport staff for being willing an

Critique doesn't always explain reproduction. That's more like a bug report I think. Actually saying what's wrong is describing that the UI has a clear problem with z-index. I would understand if someone was trolling the Appl

To me, the Tumblr is pointing out an overall lack of attention to detail. Some of these obvious bugs should have never made it past QA/testing, but somehow they did - and that's sloppy UI, regardless of whether it was an intention

I think the visual explanation here offers credence to the criticism. This certainly isn't "hipster" culture - this is design critique. The worse thing would be if people blindly said things like "iOS7 is just not intuit

I mostly agree here, but he does have quite a bit of a history of accurate predictions. Not a logical reason to believe in his future predictive ability, but certainly seems relevant to the anti-aging conversation.

The point is quite simple. Public visibility is valuable regardless of relevance. This is the same across the board; if you have a sellable good and are serious about it, it should exist in as many accessible ways as possible. Marketing 101

I disagree with this, for one reason alone. Just because you have grown in the past with a certain tactic does not make that tactic the most effective choice. And, certainly, if the industry changes so much that mobile does indeed take over

It makes way more sense to offer some sort of sandbox to prove bugs to filter this kind of thing (instead of having less-than-stellar bug responders like the "this is not a bug" guy). If you could create your own "non-friend&

The nice thing about Pure to me is the fact that they encourage you to write your own top layer. While Bootstrap 3 says that they also encourage this, the number of components in Bootstrap make it somewhat difficult to learn and implement.

I've been working on a "Send a note to Basecamp" extension for a bit. It (currently) reads the content of your open email in Gmail, and lets you send an arbitrary note to a Basecamp project. Useful for people who like to stay

It's not just celebrity worship I don't think; it's a pretty good reminder to not forget play (and simultaneously a memoriam to someone who lived that out). For those who appreciated _why's cultural contributions to the

I think it's important to rethink this progression a bit. In the early years of Rails, what else was around? What other Ruby-oriented frameworks did we find that did what Rails did? How many people were developing web-based MVC apps on

It should be noted that this implementation is far better than a lot of the more naive implementations out there. Pretty significant reductions in jank, accomplished by some better animation techniques and scroll watching functions. Still,
