Why would you be impressed. That was after all the entire point of CSS; Different skins on the same html.

It has nothing to do with nginx.

Given the choice, I'll pick Nginx over Apache any day, however saying that Apache in this case was the problem is just plain FUD. The OP just had no idea how to set it up properly or made a serious mistake somewhere.

The name is alright, although personally I pronounce it bvvvkup in my head rather than bee-vee-ckup, but the point is that it's memorable. Explaining it over the phone to someone might be harder. The logo is a miss though imho, I honestly

Site seems to have slowed for me too now. Especially the front page. Gzip would probably help with the bandwidth issue but I don't think that's at fault. I wonder if pg would accept a yc news written in python/redis :)

I consciously prefer serving it myself rather than google because if it's a first time visitor, he will be requesting other static files as well from the site, so having a cached copy of jquery leads to minimal loading time differences (alt

Gzip is always worth it, it lowers the per client transmission time and because browsers render gzipped pages after they have been loaded the page appears instantly in one go. It actually creates the impression of a faster site even if th

What is your ping latency? I get about 200ms from Greece, site doesn't load blazing fast but it's usable, nowhere near 1 second.

Taken in context: http://i.imgur.com/BTGz8.png Reddit recently posted their traffic stats, http://blog.reddit.com/2011/02/reddit-billions-served.html which shows they have ~14 million visitors. Point is, a lot of people still know and u

Bing sees that I searched for a term, 'iwejhoihfe' on google and ended up clicking a link to foobar.com/page there, this gives foobar.com/page a relevance with the term 'iwejhoihfe'. Since the 'iwejhoihfe' doesn't show up anywhere else on t

I've mentioned this before, I've never understood putting a ToS or privacy policy on a website. Is it a legally binding document? They can change at any time and without notice. Who is to say what you just read, and apparently agreed to, di

What scares me most is the withdrawal symptoms, nicotine made me appreciate the dangers of addiction.

Let me compare Tobacco and Heroin. I smoke, since I was young, it was silly, but I'd seen others do it and was offered cigarettes from a buddy and got hooked. Thinking about it, the only reason I would never try heroin now, is I've seen wha

For the most part webapps will work under any OS with a browser, you can't really say the same thing about Windows/Linux software.

Personally I can't see why they don't stick an IE badge on webkit and be done with it.

Impossible currently because browsers themselves don't support that. However if they did, I don't see how this is different from having a transparent background.

If you are talking about a web designer, then I don't think it's necessary to know HTML/CSS, just good UI design, since they can create their designs in photoshop. It's then the job of a web developer to convert that design to something a

I don't understand why it took over 3 hours to simulate 1000 iterations, I'm sure this could be done much more quickly, even with perl. Wish the author would post source code.

The box cover art [1] had a more realistic version of Duke than the ones in the linked article (which feel more cartoony). [1] http://dorol.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/jeu_duke_3d_dorol.j...

I love Python and it's my first choice for most projects, but to say that there isn't a problem with lib versioning in Python is just plain ignorant.

It just goes to show that a pretty landing page is not all that necessary. Functionality and usefulness are more important than web 2.0 glitz and glamor. You think tarsnap's website is ugly now? You should have seen it at the beginning. I w

Don't forget they have an OS as well, even if they were doing it today, how could we know? Who knows if they are doing it covertly under the guise of windows updates. Disclaimer: I don't actually believe they do.

Actually, the fact that people in the middle lane are taking up his 'free' space helps the long term traffic. The main cause of traffic wave is from someone stopping too abruptly, eg. if someone changes lane in tight traffic, he forces th
