Even as we move further away from the original JavaScript language with libraries built upon it, I think a good understanding of how JavaScript works allows you to work efficiently within them. While it's possible to "learn" jQuery, it's a

I'm sorry but no. You'll constantly hear people banging on about how the in-house brands are made by other reputable brands, and the likes of ACA and Today Tonight will constantly reinforce this fallacy. While it is true that reputable bran

I wouldn't say a hugely positive difference. I like my fonts crisp, not hungover.

Helvetica Neue is still available on Windows, and is very common in the design and development industry as I seem to recall a free version doing the rounds. In fact we had it for a year before we even got the official Helvetica family pack.

Please don't ever do this. You are choosing a font that has known (major) anti-aliasing issues in Windows just to satisfy a small proportion of mac users. This is becoming increasingly commonplace and I don't think designers understand just

I'm not sure how to post code on HN but I found the default settings that explain the "half second" lag: var default_settings = { brightness: 2.7, saturation: 1.4, lamps: 5, block_size: 40, update_interval: 500, fade_time: 400 };

This is really impressive, but I found the effect really distracting and annoying. It's most probably the delay/lag that makes it look jarring.

You could always chuck a hash tag on it and try it yourself haha.

Because the person responsible (not knowing who that is just yet) directly stole their images, violated their copyright and their intellectual property. Instead of tying things up with lawyers, mediation and strongly worded letters, why not

When I first saw the tweet I thought it was just a backyard/bedroom operator doing it for free. It is open source after all. But when I read that they tendered for the project and were turned down, that makes me really angry. I hope they re

EDIT: Whoops, I didn't see the part where you want to want to host it yourself. --------------------- A popular way of achieving this at the moment is to register for a blog on Tumblr or Posterous. A lot of designers and iPhone developers a

Just a short list of icon designers I follow on twitter, I plan to collate this into a blog post eventually: - Sofa: http://www.madebysofa.com/ - Pinvoke: http://twitter.com/pinvoke_com + http://www.pinvoke.com - ByLine Break, Midtone

They also appear to be using MooTools, which is interesting. I instinctively expected it to be jQuery.

Everyone saw straight through the farce that is Cost Co in Melbourne's Docklands area. We're simply not that type of "bigger is better" community. It's refreshing to head down to the Queen Vic Markets on a Saturday and still barely be able

My mum came along for a trip to the market a few weekends ago and had me looking for well aged porterhouse. She told me to look specifically for the yellowing fat as its a sign of age. She grabbed one that looked sickeningly yellow but I ca

It was an easy way for me to illustrate how many lines of code I culled. I make it sound amazing, but the majority of changes involved turning 20 line functions with for loops into a simple 2 line jQuery snippet. Also, jQuery means rarely d

Just by including jQuery in a project I was able to shave a total of 22kb off a range of files without much trouble. But the current release version, minified jQuery is about 23kb. It's a balancing act. EDIT: Also, in the next version of jQ

Ideally you should develop a "velocity" kind of ranking similar to http://www.oursignal.com and merge in results, instead of simply displaying them in individual boxes. That way a user can work out which is the most popular/relevant entry

Plus they just sourced their icons from somewhere, hit CTRL+SHIFT+U (Desaturate) and left them as is. I either expected them to change colour when I moused over them, or if they are meant to remain static they should have been contrasted or

7) We even have commercial applications of "self driving" cars. I can't believe I am about to use Top Gear as a reference but it really demonstrates how amazing this technology is, and how Mercedes has been the innovator of the majority of

That again sounds like you have trouble defining achievement or satisfaction. Looking at the current state of technology compared to 5, 10, 50 or 500 years ago it is apparent that we are advancing at what could only be labelled as an expone
