Linux would have been on par with OSX if all those ressources wasted on Gnome had been focused on GNUstep.

I know it's a bit old, but if you're into this kind of things give WindowMaker a try. I have a 12 years laptop and it's the only window manager that runs on it. (and it's quite a good experience IMHO)

People had great expectation about Hackdesign, but nobody can teach you design the way one can teach you programming (do this, not that etc.), you have to teach yourself, choose the way you want to see the world and try to design things in

The contrast ratio is 5.57:1 well above the 4:5:1 requirement. It seems that they're using Adobe Clean Light ( Helvetica Neue Light as a fallback). This must be the source of your readibility problem. Depending on browser/platform font-weig

Reading his accomplishment is humbling for any programmer. The fact that he doesn't act like an asshole should serve as an example for the rest of us.

Jquery is a reference for designing a clean API and I suspect (this library aside) many php coders would have liked if php 6 move this way. But php core dev are waaay too conservative.

I second that. To deploy a website you'll have to learn Rspec, Capybara, gem, bundler... all Rails idiosyncrasies. In this respect, I found Udacity CS253 far more useful than Treehouse. It's Python based and the course uses a light framewo

Totally agree. I know it's a pain for the admins, but you can't say something like "security is omakase."

You're right. I'm not a native English speaker and like kghose I was a bit surprised by this number (hence my search for the arXiv budget). After reading your comment I see the ambiguity there.

Yes downvote me php people, but have a look at php code on github " https://github.com/search?q=mysql_connect&p=1&ref=se... and tell me what you're thinking about it.

People wo could write better code in php have already learned how to write better code in other languages. I don't even see the point of this book. Learning to write good code with php looks to me like learning ornithology with Angry Birds

Not really it's a good advice BUT this book is targeted at wanabee php developers. Telling them to patch Apache is a very bad idea. He should have chosen phpBB or something like that. You could think that people are smart enough to understa

You nailed it. Symfony == Poor man's Java. Which is ironic because even Java has started to move to move to something more sensible with frameworks like Grails or Play.

Part of this problem is that a good part of the community is amateur/hobbyist, they won't learn anything. Some people in the PHP community love to think that PHP is used like Java, but for most of the amateurs it's a "cut and paste what wor

The html5 spec is clear [1] : "The placeholder attribute should not be used as an alternative to a label." If you really want to do this kind of layout, you should find some accessible way of hiding labels. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/html51/
