I'd argue the same thinking could have been applied--perhaps moreso--to Palm/HP's webOS, which was thrusting in the same direction as mid-range tablet OS with the Touchpad, and into a desktop-capable OS (demonstrated in early

This is exactly the same format I've used, with two exceptions: I _do_ look at previous work, and the "custom project" isn't done in-person to keep it low-stress. This allows me to draw parallels in terms of patterns use

Given the stacks at BigCorps (at least here in Chicago), I would say "it depends". Working in an enterprise environment where everything is older and battle-tested, probably not, given most of the camps gloss clean over the detail

17 years of smoking here, and decided to quit when my first child was born almost 5 years ago. The electronic cigarette industry was comparatively ancient at the time, and the devices were...not the best. Anyhow, I kept at it, and within 4

Why FA insists on abusing the Italics tag (repurposing it as "Icon") instead of leveraging the appropriate <span> is...specious at best.

Replacing the Facebook app on Android with Metal (or any one of numerous mobile web wrappers as apps) alone resolved most of the problems I was having with battery life. The argument for apps over mobile web only works when the app respects

This one is very approachable and thorough, and was the result of a Kickstarter last year. Really great book, and probably my favorite; these guys went over the top. "Sega Mega Drive / Genesis: The Collected Works" https:&#x

JPN Sega 16-bit collector here; the Teradrive was an interesting piece of kit, but I've always been floored by just how many variants of the core system there were: from the beautiful Wondermega RG-M1 to the Laseractive, to a Megadrive

Depends on who you're asking and from what timeframe you're asking about. They used to be absolutely horrid in the age of alternate and meta-TLDs when the real rush to nab a domain was on. I can't speak about present times, h

Such is almost invariably the case with most CSS frameworks until you work with a designer that seeks differentiation. That's the point where everything generally falls apart, for better and for worse, depending on who's responsib

BarneySplat was invariably the most popular door game on my BBS (mid-90s). Thanks for that interview link.

Anecdotally, all the news in the U.S. I've heard around the athlete wearing the airbag was quite contradictory to the assertion that the airbag exacerbated the problem; the story was that it actually may have saved him from much greate

Depends on how brave you are, really. While a lot of the development community will likely be tracking 2.0's development and working to release libraries not long after 2.0 releases...2.0 is effectively a 1.0 release all over again, so

Rare to see dreamless mentioned anywhere; it was a special place while it lasted.

I have the AC2400 and just use the Merlin distribution, which is based on OpenWRT. I rarely have the problems some report about the Asus line, but then again I'm just one data point.

Got a FOUC (especially on the webfonts) the first couple of renders on the page; looks like the overloading of the META tags might be to blame. Otherwise, really good stuff here as someone rapidly picking up on React.

Playing the margins in my home would probably save $25/mo against a $100/mo charge, I'm spitballing. Our local utility here in Chicago, ComEd, is starting to roll out to the population what flux in energy usage actually means

$3,500. That's crazy good for your average household, on par with natural gas backup generators with half the logistics. I might just be ordering sooner rather than later given some of the grid instabilities in my area over the past ye

Coca-Cola Life is being sold in the U.S. here and there. Seems like a widespread test more than a full-scale roll-out at the moment. But yeah, it's here.

The webOS UI design and interaction model was something pretty damned amazing for its time, and still unparalleled in certain aspects. No doubts there.

"JavaScript is the path a lot of people want to walk for making mobile apps. Firefox OS is the first to make it the primary way to develop apps for the platform." Not true at all, actually; I was doing this back in 2009 on Palm&#x

Ember's been focused around ES6 for a while now; the more frameworks that make the shift instead of stagnating or needlessly diverging, the merrier.

It used to be that a significant portion of that 1% (and those that also turned off CSS) were from those leveraging screenreaders some years back; with the uptake of ARIA and better screenreaders, not so much the case anymore. So there was

You can get around some of the captive portals by MAC-spoofing the stick of your choice through your laptop to authenticate (then switching back). It's a pain in the arse, but it works in a pinch. Ad-hoc will make most of that pain go

Without seeing your comment I made the same recommendation to one of my lead devs a few minutes ago with the same segue, having also recommended this article. Fantastic episode.
