@yashg FYI your blog prevents zooming on tablets and small devices; could not read.

It's an interesting new take (new to me) on responsive design too.

Great job! Nicely done. A suggestion, also a source of competitive advantage: Allow selecting more than one Make per search. Seems nobody does this. I would like to see all SUVs except those by the big North American manufacturers. To d

I don't see any problem with this XML that can't be easily overcome. The comment about GMT-offsetting the date is particularly pithy, Assuming the blog in question isn't about ephemerides. By and large, blog posts have dates. If you desp

I have a hard time imagining a more appropriate tool. The best tool would offer * Discoverability * Updatability * Transparancy (who, specifically, is behind it) * Tracability * Time stamping * Linkability, with über-stable U

This is a very nice initiative! A question: as a non-american, in view of America's current levels of paranoia, does this really have much potential beyond, say, bike-racks and street-lines? I'd love to know, for example, which areas are se

I tested exactly this recently and a hosts file dramatically helps browsing performance. It's true there is an up-front cost paid when first loading it, and for the initial domain lookups. After initial lookups, DNS cache takes over. The r

Wary of self-promotion here (sorry) but here's a gitHub repo that amalgamates and de-dupes recent hosts files from mvps.org, someonewhocares.org, and malwaredomainlist.com. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Another is the MVPs hosts file. http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm Several commenters appear not to "get" the benefit of a comprehensive and recent hosts file. With a good hosts file, many well-known trojans and viruses can't phone ho

What's the concern? It's pretty easy to see all entries point to 127.0.0.1.

This article has interesting takes on Excel's role in recent financial collapses due to poor debugging support and systemic biases that lead to particular types of errors.

Other than display what I type, I couldn't reckon anything else this can do. Reading the comments I see I missed some things but that's a pretty clear failure of UI design. So I went back. Still can't see any features other than display wh

The GitLab website is opaque. I searched for, and did find 1) How to download the product 2) How much it costs 3) what hardware and OS it runs on or 4) how to find out more. Now I've only been developing web apps since 1997, and work every

Microsoft is a bulti-billion dollar company that doesn't much care for developers and users of its products. Oh, it says it cares, and for the incremental cost of an MSDN subscription it can buy the silence and obeisance of influential dev

Can we talk about the half-life of social media artifacts? So you went to a wild party, and photos are posted. Why are these photos still visible weeks / months / years afterwards? Face it: everyone who matters will see the party photos wi

If there are pictures of you online with red Solo cups about your ears, and empty beer bottles in the foreground, this will likely cost you plenty in the future. I have been on hiring committees that rejected candidates simply because one o

This is great news, yes, but past failure to delegate is evident here. Also life happens while making other plans. So I welcome the announcement and I'll be super happy once umpteen long-waiting pull requests are processed. But somehing tel

Wow, there isn't much love in the comments below that post on dropbox.com. I find this is surprising to a point. I love Dropbox, and I use it in exotic ways. That said, I don't "get" why Dropbox wants to be involved with my photos. I've

The website's meta viewport is fixed and explicitly disallows pinch and zoom gestures and you want to sell IOS apps? Dude doesn't get IOS usability. At all.

This might be nice, but my personal opinion: whoever designs UI elements with dark grey text on black backgrounds is a absolute f'king moron. That shit needs to stop.

This seems intriguing. But it raises questions: Is not Dropbox based on AWS storage? Therefore if AWS goes down... Secondly, given that Dropbox has native version control (via its web interface) how is a backup with tidy.io on Amazon Gla

The Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement was negotiated between 1985 and late 1987, and was signed in January 1988. The language of the treaty hasn't been meaningfully adjusted in over 25-years. Therefore when you are going through the
