This looks interesting. Would anyone be able to explain why I would use this over something like Capybara? Side note: This is the same guy who gave us Vanity! Thanks!

Also, is that 500,000 data points per month or overall?

This is some pretty sweet news. This was one of the reasons why I ended up not using AWS ELBs. I wonder if this will make an impact on Heroku's pricing for SSL. I assume they had to somehow get around the technical difficulties themselves.

I'm using Chrome on Ubuntu. I didn't realize they meant OS/browsers needed to take this into account. I just assumed they were talking about things to consider when designing a web application.

Interestingly enough, their own poll along the right hand side uses radio buttons, but does not have a roll-over effect as proposed by the article.

Also doesn't work for 6.0.472.59 beta on Ubuntu 10.04. I get the browsers detection error message. Edit: Works now! Thanks.

The concept is so simple yet addictive. Plus it works on a variety of platforms. This isn't even mentioning the fact that it's 6.9KB! Impressive.

Good catch. We had this working before but I guess it's a bug that slipped through. It's been logged. I don't know if you caught it, but there are some other table shortcuts like CTRL+Enter creates a new row below and CTRL+Shift+Enter creat

If you're talking about 12-15% after 5 years and not 12-15% per year, you can stick it in a GIC and not worry about risk. I'm in Canada and ING's 5 year GIC is 3% per year, which will end up giving you almost 16% after compounding (1.03^5 =

This is a nice little hack that I'll stick into my toolbox. The comment on the post about turning the workers on and off when needed is interesting as well. The commenter uses less than an hour on average per month using the method. I wonde

I do not find his Zen in lawns either, but for different reasons. For me, it's the layout of the terrain. I'm so worried about bumping into trees, bushes, gardens, and stumps that I can't afford to "zone out" for very long. Plus the electri

I agree that in some cases, guards, defaults and ternaries flow more naturally. However, I feel that there's a contradiction. You say that it is easier to understand but have learned to write them in plain old "if" first because it's bette

I've also got a master/slave setup and am looking forward to replica sets. It's great to see sharding is production ready. It's now there when I need it.

Read up on lean startups: http://www.startuplessonslearned.com/2008/09/lean-startup.ht... There is a lot of information out there about customer development and creating Minimum Viable Products. Very interesting concepts.

This is great news, except for the fact that there is still a huge percentage on IE6. Until people migrate off, it'll still be a pain in the ass to develop sites. That's one nice thing about the other browsers. Most users are on very simila

The last part about teaching is hard for me. I always feel that in order to teach, you must be an expert. Since I'm not an expert yet, I feel I might be teaching the wrong things and/or I can't answer their questions. This fear has stopped

I personally like the design of this. Actually, when I saw the first picture, I thought, "I want one...". Plus I love the idea of the stand. Use cases were already flowing through my head when I saw this!

This is wonderful news. I remember hearing about this monopoly a while back and was horrified. I always wondered why so many Korean sites were optimized for IE. I'm glad this has happened and can't wait to see the improvements that will com

This is a good practical example of what to do when you're starting off with SEO. There are many posts that overwhelm you with information when you begin. Plus, they're able to show that it works.

I found the first edition of StrengthsFinder very intriguing. It's the type of book that gives you a paradigm shift.

This definitely is a bit over-generalized, but I think it makes some good points. One of the things I admire most about a few of the smartest people I have met is their ability to explain things in a very simple way. Furthermore, they are a

Try self-improvement. Improving who you are is never a bad idea and often leads you into other areas of development. It can lead you to explore new ideas and learn new skills which in turn can be marketable. Try to start off with reading "T

I agree. I think you have to try both in order to know whether you made the right decision. I started off learning PHP in the beginning, then switched to Ruby on Rails. Of the languages I've learnt so far, Ruby is by far the most fluid. It'

More on the modular architecture. AR uses polymorphism while DM approaches the problem through a form of composition (modules). This usually leads to more flexible and less complex designs. In AR, only AR objects can be persisted, whereas a

This article talks about anecdotes vs analytics, but in the end, it advocates anecdotes and analytics. It feels like anecdotes give you a gut feeling of where the opportunities are and that analytics give the gut feeling some substantive
