Yeah, my characterization is unfair. I have a special reservoir of irrational resentment for anyone who would put down someone who creates things, is curious, and actively tries to improve, regardless of his background or current ability. I

Also, a snob who is truly threatened by amateurs is either a) a poor designer himself, or b) a cynic who doesn't respect his audience enough to know good design from bad. In either case, he's not fun to work with.

I think because the mode of criticism and the mode of presentation are the same (the Internet), snobs feel especially threatened and forced to put down amateurs. It'd be like amateur and pro photographs hanging in a gallery side-by-side. Me

"Web designer" is just a way to tell people what you do. Doesn't mean you're good at it, or formally trained. There's an artist outside that isn't Picasso. Still calls himself an artist. The web is just a really easy place to find (and appa

I discovered the Google Accounts Dashboard today and had a similar reaction: https://www.google.com/dashboard?hl=en On the one hand, once you sign over your email, you've signed over verification on any site. On the other, it's pretty jar

Intelligent commentary? I must be following the wrong people. Most tumblogs I've seen are Twitter without the char limit, or gimmick photo collections. I don't mean to disparage the service (use it for my own site), but basic decisions like

Christian Swinehart is at the top of his field, working for a legendary design company. http://samizdat.cc/me Funny how because he's not a familiar tech name, everyone here assumes he's an upstart.

That's not really programming, now is it? I was hoping for some genetic or soil modification that outputs "Hello world" in size or color variation of the grown wheat.

Interesting, but I don't think it'll ever get off the ground.

Granted, the CSS wouldn't require zooming in, and the citation link would be usable.

Couldn't they log out, check the thread, see their posts omitted, and become as inflamed as if they're banned? Or was the entire forum private?

I'm not saying tables are necessarily wrong. I'm saying that this one-line framework is effectively replacing td's with div's, in that the heirarchy of markup defines the presentation. I don't see what value it adds over tables, given the p

The point of CSS is to separate presentation from markup. This approach uses a hierarchy of divs to define presentation. If that's alright with you, may as well use tables.

What counts as a commitment? Just a verbal agreement or contract / down payment? Seems like people backing out would be an early concern.

I think new users are especially inclined to vote up headlines related to previously popular articles, regardless of the new article's standalone value. They may think it contributes to the discussion and deserves the same attention. Then s

The basic problem is that traditional designers are still trained to think in terms of canvases or formats, which have a fixed width and height. Moving beyond a fixed height is a cognitive hurdle. Moving beyond a fixed width is only more so

That's what struck me about this article. PHP arose as a framework between C and Apache. It makes one wonder, what's the threshold between framework and language?

Or more succinctly: "In IE @import behaves the same as using <link> at the bottom of the page, so it's best not to use it." Know and love http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html

Just the insecure ones. If someone charismatic were to write and present "PHP: The Good Parts," it'd suddenly be in style among the tool polishers again.
