>IE8 is perfectly fine, and also somewhere between 20-30% of your users. Perhaps in some markets. For one of the sites I write for, it's less than 5% over a large sample.

As a quick aside, does anyone know the best/easiest way to implement "subscribe by email" for a blog/WP site? Feedburner has very simple implementation but it seems like there's a good chance it will be retired soon so I was hoping for anot

My main motivation in writing the article was to try to explain why grains so dominate the food landscape: because of their ability to deliver raw caloric energy. I think that's an interesting story regardless of whether or not it influence

Yes, that could happen, but it almost certainly wouldn't. The general problem with ad blockers is that they are a set-and-forget scorched-earth solution to the problem of annoying ads. As a web publisher, it doesn't matter if you carefull

Do some people actually prefer glossy to matte? I find the use of glossy screens on notebooks bewildering. What's the benefit of having lots of distracting reflections on your screen?

I've heard lot of people say that the best way to learn to code is to set out to solve a problem you're having. I wonder if the global trend towards open solutions for problems will discourage people learning to code. I've been using comput
