Ironically Joel seems to be missing something that YUI Grids ( http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/grids ) and Blueprint ( http://code.google.com/p/blueprintcss ) both allow you to reorder the content of a page. Sure it's not totally arbitrary,

I'm pretty sure that it would be considered a hate crime in the UK. This is an arrestable offense which can carry a range of punishments depending on the severity (e.g. physical assault vs verbal assault). See http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/

The author's point might have been better if there weren't a bunch of CSS libraries which have already solved this ( http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/grids/ and http://code.google.com/p/blueprintcss/ to pick two). You wouldn't rewrite cstd

I think the problem is that doing good frontend is a skill like any other programming skill. If you don't practice you aren't as skilled. I get sick of people complaining about doing thing right being too hard. You wouldn't say someone taki

This is great advice. Most of this stuff is a snow ball. The bigger bloggers/new agencies keep an eye on smaller bloggers/new agencies to source material from. If you get some good local success you are much more likely to be able to approa

I got it within seconds. They provide software to run those "homebrew" bill boards in Coffee shops and such which just run off a computer and an LCD monitor.

It's interesting that rather than building a micro-library they've chosen to use a compile time instead. I guess I'd prefer to see this integrated into my usual JS libraries (YUI, jQuery). That said it's pretty interesting. Even if some of

It's interesting, after you commented I looked up NLP on Wikipedia and was honestly surprised at it's debunking. I've read a few NLP books: NLP for Dummies, NLP for the modern manager and a range of literature from people like Tony Robbins,

I think it's entirely valid to not add karma to a comment you agree because it's reached the karma you feel it deserves. Similarly as people have pointed out you don't need pile on the down-modding simply because you don't agree with someth

I have a copy of this on my shelf. It's an interesting book but the negotiation techniques can be pretty crude compared with modern NLP. Mostly it's good advice. To sum it up in one word be genuine .

Curiously PG posting this gets 50 karma and counting, someone else posted a similar thing earlier in the week and got flagged dead. I don't want to see this topic regularly but maybe the guidelines could be made more prominent for new users

You should think about registering a trademark if possible. This means it's easy in the long run. If you have a trademark you can have various services reclaim them for you. That said, twitter, gmail, yahoo, some tech news sites, digg, redd

I heard way more people doing stuff with the Arduino. Do people know how Teensy and Arduino compare? I do know that Arduino is 100% Open Source which is why so many cottage electronic outfits provide them premade.

I'm curious if Wired's account is to be taken as the literal truth (I know, bear with me). Why is someone being fired for a single scripting error? What the hell is QA for? More-over how stupid does Fanny Mae management be to fire someone w

I wouldn't agree with this summary. I think he was saying 1) Expertise is relative. His example included the temporal nature of the "cutting-edge" in computing. What was consider best practice 10 years ago is no longer considered even ok. 2
