   This will be even more aesthetically pleasing once PHP 5.4 is released with support for array literals: __::map([1, 2, 3]), function($n) { return $n * 2; }); __([1, 2, 3])->map(function($n) { return $n * 2; }); That, combin

   Haven't tested this specifically, but, every test I've ever done (that had statistically significant results) has shown "Less fields in a form is always better".

    You can send custom HTTP headers from the browser with XMLHTTPRequest, commonly referred to as AJAX. Not totally sure if this is what the poster is referring to, but its possible.

    Now I'm confused. Won't the images have the referrer of the requesting page, not Twitter.com? http://d.pr/ZFHF EDIT: HN won't let me reply directly, but realizing I misunderstood. You're counting total image loads, not image loads with th

    Agreeing with this decision doesn't mean that you believe that one's own 12 year old should be able to play the game. You can certainly believe that a decision about what games are appropriate can be left to parental discretion without beli
