I think it's an entirely different idea, with the same name.

Thanks for posting that, it looks really interesting.

One thing I would note, if you use "box-sizing: border-box" you can include borders (transparent if you want gutters) and padding without any float drops. I wrote up an example here: http://monkeyandcrow.com/blog/splitting_the_difference/

For anyone interested, I actually had written up an article on box-sizing yesterday: http://monkeyandcrow.com/blog/splitting_the_difference/ There's an example illustrating pornel's point.

I wish JavaScript's prototypal features were more like io's, or even Lua's. io was the first language I had seen where I really grocked prototypal inheritance.

If anyone is curious about some other neat things you can do in css, I wrote up a little article about drawing lines with it: http://monkeyandcrow.com/blog/drawing_lines_with_css3/ I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to come up wi

Absolutely! The styling could be entirely offensive, cause blindness, or unpleasant reactions.

Hey my co-worker just built a similar tool for creating sprites: https://github.com/jakesgordon/sprite-factory It doesn't use simulated annealing, which is pretty neat, but it does generate really well packed pngs: sf --layout packe

It's really impressive that all the graphics are done with the canvas.

That was the main difference pointed out in the documentation. I guess I'd have to try it out to see how it differs in practice.

Seems neat, but it would have been nice to differentiate itself from backbone a little more upfront. The sites even look similar. The key architectural difference seems to be that the ui is updated before the server responds, which is grea

I'd say hire the one that gives you the best justification for their estimate. It's important for people to understand what is and is not involved in an estimate as well as why they think something is hard. Once you communicate that, you c

Instead of replacing estimation, I would say that you should embrace the problem in estimates - uncertainty. Convey the uncertainty you have about a task to those you work with, and then you can start to factor in the risks of uncertain tas

I think that one of the major problems people have when giving estimates is that developers realize there is a lot of uncertainty add in all of the "'making $#@! up' fudge factors, technical hurdles, cogitation and exploration time, etc.",

If you like Steve McConnell's work, you should take a look at http://www.LiquidPlanner.com , we built our entire product around the notion of ranged estimation so that your schedule actually captures some of uncertainty involved in estimat

There are a couple of things to balance. I'm building a word game myself right now, and ran into these same issues. I found that loading a string for each letter of the alphabet worked adequately. It is not clever in the least, and far f

On a related note, for anyone using TextMate, try hitting Cmd-Shift-C while editing css. It will popup a color picker right there for you. Really handy.

I think it's more of an issue of who is doing the extending. If it's your own code in a non shared library, then it's up to you. If it's in a shared library, it is probably nicer to avoid. For instance, if you override a function on a nat

I've actually gotten to quite like the dev tools in Chrome/Safari. I started using them because I was using Chrome anyways. Editing CSS in Chrome is still more cumbersome, but otherwise I think it's pretty great, especially the timeline an

If you're a programmer, you may find Qwandry useful: github.com/adamsanderson/qwandry Instead of trying to remember where all your libraries are located, it will just open them up for you. Great for trying to debug misbehaving code.

I actually met one of the guys from crocodoc a couple of months ago, nice guy. The headline isn't very accurate. My understanding is that they let people annotate pdfs and share those annotations.

My take was that Angular and Knockout are really about databinding, while Backbone is more of a solid MVC pattern.

I actually asked a similar question over on reddit, http://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/f1d6g/databindin... . I'd love to hear more people's thoughts.

Except Kod doesn't really do anything much yet ;) I think we're stuck with Textmate (which rocks for what it's worth).

I think it's not that it's an IDE for a specific language, but an IDE written in a language that a lot of people would like to hack around in. So the value is in being able to write plugins or what not in ruby. That being said, I haven't u

Can't we just agree that both Python and Ruby are awesome and rant about Java some more? ;)
