This idea (or at least, where this idea could lead) is actually a far more RESTful approach to the web. REST services should offer a single entry point - the root url - and the rest of a service's content should be navigated to through

This looks great! I wanted something sim(ilar|pler) for inspecting psd iOS mockups (to extract size/font info, etc). This is clearly geared towards web, but looks like it would work well for any sort of design.

Related observation: I have an hour/hour-and-half commute, and I've noticed in particular that it doesn't pay off in any noticeable way to speed (~10-15 over) on the interstate. At best you shave off a few minutes, but those

The separation is nice, but does it need to be done manually? Couldn't a simple compiler take in .m files and output compiled code + .h files?

That's what I thought they were using, because of this: "A simple Hubot command can reroute our traffic to their network which can handle terabits per second. They're able to absorb the attack, filter out the malicious traffi

This is about laptop keyboards, but there is a huge diy scene around improving keyboards. I have an ErgoDox ( http://ergodox.org/ ) which is very well thought out and open source (and people are iterating on it - see: http:&
