   I'd like to know where the reports are that Apache 2.4 was faster than Nginx. The test in the post hardly seems exhaustive; most web servers do more than serve up a 9kb file on the loopback address. I have to imagine, that the actual 'repor

   I don't think it's quite that mischievous. I mean, he doesn't mention Basecamp Next anywhere in the post. He's basically making the reasonable point to build quality shit people actually want to use without accounting gimmicks and all else

   It's almost too bad microsoft squandered any credibility they had on web standards years ago.

   IE7 doesn't support data-URIs. If you still support IE7 (it's not dead yet), sprites are still your friend. Not to mention, data in the css can get kind of unwieldy if you're encoding many or large images. Keeping it in a sprite keeps it ti

   They pay mine, too, but that doesn't mean I have to like them. It also means I try and not view them on my own site to cost our advertisers money.

   I bought one for my wife as a birthday gift. After reading the reviews, she didn't want the Fire. I returned it and got the $109 no-keyboard no-touch kindle instead, and she loves it. E-Ink is just such a better reading experience than a LC

    I'm really digging it as well. The layout is pretty great. Whatever the CMS is, they're getting a ton of flexibility out of it. It feels like a more integrated media experience -- typography, video, photography, infographics, user comments,

    I do front end dev work, and mostly it comes down to experience. I usually try to work out a small test of some of the more complicated problems beforehand, so I might have a sense of how much time they'll take. Then I break the project dow

    The density in cul-de-sac neighborhoods is still too low to make it possible for residents to get to any of the basic services they need (school, grocery, etc) without driving. Adding a few roads to shave a mile or two off a commute or trip

    How is carrying all that fuel used in landing up to space more efficient than, say, a parachute? I'm assuming someone at Space X did at least some back of the napkin math, but color me skeptical.

    This sounds like the tips & tricks you see in Pagespeed/Yslow, moving it to a proxy, coupling it with something like SPDY, and mixing in some server side caching. Which is neat, and no doubt will achieve some speedups. But I don't know

    > Facebook changes its policies very often... That is half of facebook's problem. Facebook has pissed off a lot of developers by changing their platform so frequently, often without telling people in advance, that it makes little sense

    Without a price shown, I did expect it to be free. Except that I know a stamp costs something, so that was weird.

    It'd be helpful to know how much it costs without having to watch a video. You know, like an upfront price or something.

    > Drupal fulfills the need to slap together a web site quick and make it pretty... You had me until that. Usually you can tell a site is Drupal by how ugly it is and how awful the code is. Also, putting together a site in drupal is far

    Decent try, but still, using the hashbang? Using the history API would seem appropriate if you're demoing HTML5.

    A little unclear on what the engine is. Doesn't seem to be an actual jet engine, though. This is an RC with a jet engine (two, actually, since it's an F-14): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IXQVh5IbHc

    More people need to be like this guy and complain when sites are not accessible. It might make my bosses and clients actually care when I want to take time to make a site accessible. I can make noise about an issue, but nothing brings it to

    Many developers I know, myself included, avoid facebook integration like the plague for just this reason. Other services manage to version their APIs and depreciate them gracefully. Facebook apparently doesn't understand how to do this, or
