Maintaining a voice is important, and style guides and guidelines are important in enforcing this; plus, most of the content herein is what _not_ to do rather than what _to_ do, so it's more about what the cookie cutter isn't cutting than w

Consider users on touch devices, too. I'd generally avoid using hover effects, and if you must, keep them subtle and don't rely on them for usability.

For point 1., Shift-J and Shift-K will go between the next item and load the page, so your flow would be: ⇧J ␠ ␠ ␠ ⇧J ␠ You could contact him about a preference to change the spacebar behavior between using "j" and "J", though.

Couldn't you just use protocol-relative URLs in your CSS files? (Or for that matter, absolute paths.)

the performance degrades to a point where it'll be too slow to do anything Do you have any examples? In my experience, Redis is pretty fast even when it lives partially in VM. You can get boxes with a ton of RAM these, days,

If you're diligent to ls cool_stuff before changing directories, it's less of an issue. And `rm -fr /' is less likely than `rm -fr ~', since most people don't need root access to call `ls'. But still, I don't add '.' to my path becau

That's an apocryphal story, though. QWERTY was said to have been invented, actually, to make it easier for typewriter salesmen to type "TYPEWRITER", all from the top row.

Using deodorant does not have an effect on hygiene. Hygiene is about being clean; deodorant is about being dirty and not smelling like you are. Many deodorants do fight bacteria to an extent, and if you use an unscented st

Keep in mind that if you do any kind of proxy caching (Rack::Cache, etc.), AssetHostingWithMinimumSsl is going to cause problems (if, say, Safari generates a cached response, serves images and CSS from http:, and then any other browser is s

The site itself is very attractive. A suggestion for the implementation, though: login/signup tab full page turns are jarring (especially with the bar dropping down again after each loads)...maybe just use JavaScript/CSS to swap div visibil

Baselines are a very nice touch, but always use judgement and don't be afraid to step out of those guidelines (or adjust the design) when you need to. The Baseline homepage is generally aesthetically pleasing, but goes a bit overboard: the

Ah, never mind. The mention of 3.0.1 later down in the article was corrected, or I misread.

I think 3.0.2 is a typo, as 3.0.1 is referenced later in the article, and was just tagged here: http://github.com/rails/rails/tree/v3.0.1 (And released! It's available via `gem update'.)

Most businesses "fail" at their primary function if "quality" is the measure. The exceptions are there, but the widespread rule is surprising. I've unfortunately seen shops fail that went the extra mile, but it's always been a matter of loc

FYI, WebKit-based browsers aren't passing your browser sniffer (drag-drop works in them, too).

The answer is yes, but not all of your users will benefit if they use their current browser. If you really need to reach IE6, use libraries like IE7.js and gracefully degrade your feature implementations, but don't hamper the experience of

While I prefer Mail.app aesthetically and for the purposes of OS integration, the thing it really can't beat Gmail in is speed. Search is incredibly fast (as one may expect), but also workflow: almost every action is a keyboard shortcut (or
