The MATTEL one was hard, but I just assumed the one with crappy kerning was Arial, and sure enough...

I found SublimeCodeIntel to be unreliable, so I use SublimeCTags[1]. I've also bound mouse3 to navigate to a function definition in my User .sublime-mousemap file: { "button": "button3", "count": 1, "press_command": "dr

One thing that isn't really highlighted as much as it should be is that you can directly grab or source your opted-in aliases, eg. wget -q -O - "$@" https://alias.sh/user/[userid]/alias >> ~/.bash_aliases or, if you like to

I think in some cases, it would be better to explain why the PHP function was a bad idea to begin with, rather than letting people bring it's mess over to Python. For example, Python doesn't need dumb shit like nl2br() [1]. [1] http://www.

A more glaring issue with Apple's map of Perth to my mind is that Fremantle Harbour has been completely filled in. See the bottom left of this Google map for comparison: http://i.imgur.com/GsmxQ.jpg

This is basically what the official F1 iPad app is like, which I happened to have with me at the Australian Grand Prix last year. It made a pretty big difference to actually know when various drivers were about to come past, and what was ha

I'm guessing the Google Maps app will be out in a month or two. Apple probably won't approve it right away, as a good quality Maps app would really make Google look like the hero, swooping in to save us from Apple's lesser service. Once the

A lot of the content on flipcode has found new relevance in JS/canvas games and demos where many classic software rendering techniques can be implemented on top of the 2d context. In many ways I find the challenge of implementing a renderer

As far as I'm concerned, Less, Sass and Stylus all provide the features for the way I like to write styles (DRY, with composability) so the main thing that influences which I'll use on a project is how easily it fits into the workflow. Tha

I'm pretty sure GP was talking about being productive as a designer, which means being able to do things really, really fast, with next to no effort, while retaining as much flexibility as possible. I think it's great that GIMP exists and i

Photoshop implements these features using vector masks, which mean you can scale your shapes after creating them without any resampling/pixelation. How many steps would it take to do the same in GIMP? It's not just about not grokking it, it

Many around these parts will make glib insinuations about the "Gatekeeper" feature heralding Apple's clawing away the freedoms of it's users, one-by-one, until we are all prisoners of "the computer as a jail made cool". However, it seems to

I don't understand how anyone could think that I am not aware of the original expression which I have paraphrased. As others have noted, JSON is a local optima solution to a particular group of problems. Using S-Expressions does not improve
