not what your after, but http://www.zvork.fr/vls/ is fun if you like playing with low key / gels etc

While I agree, there is no shortcut to simply picking up a camera and getting a few thousand shutter actuations to learn whats what (and most definitely not on green box mode if learning is the intention), some demonstrations like pulling two instances of this up and putting distance/focal length at opposite extremes in each to show the compression of the compression of the backdrop work very well.

This legislation makes me die a little inside each time it comes up, utterly futile crap that will be ignored or worked around via more nefarious means by those that abuse tracking methods anyway.

Why they didnt legislate that it be baked into the browser, where the problem should be solved, I will never know.

Seems OTT to me,

I generally use normal boring labels, then modernizer to detect if the browser supports placeholders, if so hide the labels and add placeholders to the attributes

of course, the perils of replying after skim reading!

as pointed out, hooks are a perfect fit for this.

so add them to your gitignore.....

Been doing this for a while, came with another bonus: I no longer have a single ftp server running anywhere on my servers now, using codebasehq.com as my repo / deployment source ... works extremely well.

I work neck deep with cross browser "stuff" frequently, frankly, IE9 is a breeze & imho Paydirt made themselves look really quite daft!

not sure if this was intended as sarcasm, so I logged in just to check, no they dont,

they have related searches (in bold), search history & narrow by region down the left...

all but the last go in the "cruft" category imho,

google have the different search types, location, region, chronological stuff then "more", no idea how much customisation they do though ... i'm not a google-fanboy but at least they are all useful _to me_ & better designed

"cluttered left rail" ... sure, cluttered with things that get a helluva lot of use & happen to be located in a very convenient place.

Listening now, I'm impatient, I'll give you 20p if you reduce the 10 second intro to 3 seconds in the next episode.

We're talking about being banned from connecting to servers to play a modification for a computer game here, it's a situation that just is simpler than "real life", it is nothing to do with providing a deterrent, if they are banned from connecting they cant cheat in a way that matters.

ban them for an exponentially increasing time period?

as long as they are clearly notified "you have been banned for 3 months, cheat again it will be 9" it'd do the same job surely?

Ahem... "Usability".

"Caught with your pants down" is the best I could come up with

have you looked at muse (http://www.adobe.com/products/muse.html) and the sort of sites that come out the other end (http://juliegratz.com/)

I hope that's not what they have in mind, quite why they are showing off a website who's homepage doesn't have a single bit of text (view-source:http://juliegratz.com/) other than a copyright assertion I have no idea

replying to myself as I seem to be at the top, just found this http://civicuk.com/cookie-law/configuration and thought it looked quite nice, via the reddit thread at http://www.reddit.com/r/web_design/comments/sfxvo/anyone_got...

I was waiting for this retarded piece of legislation to rear its head again.

Those who wish to circumvent it will do, easily & by far more insidious means, meanwhile the rest of us who just want google analytics have tough choices to make.

Hopefully x-do-not-track will gain momentum instead, that will at least save the honest website owners some work & leave the nefarious ones to do whatever they wish like present.

Especially ones like this, where their utility is somewhere between awful & dubious, it's an interesting hack sure, but I don't think I saw the article clarify that it is a terrible idea!

If a developer ever came to me advocating abusing labels/inputs/checked/z-indexes this way for tabs they would have their marching orders pretty quickly!

Personally, I find them & their discussions quite interesting usually, and if gathering karma is for some reason important to the submitters, well more power to them.

Congrats all, new project due to be live in a month or so I'll keeping an eye on updates and might make the jump asap

This is (for me) a very timely validation of OSMs efforts, congrats to them!

I'm aware of those, thankfully the things I set wont change within the life a single environment, a single variable to say dev/test/staging/production, could easily set in bashrc & wsgi script.

I feel the opposite, Over the 3 years or so I've worked with django full time there have been very good reasons to have different setups wrt environment, virtualenvs & web servers.

That said I tend to use env vars to identify which environment an app is running in and build everything off that, which branch / db / logging target etc to use.

I've given it a quick go & am very impressed, relatively smooth experience for a just-launched product, remote inspection, manipulation & js console is great

... tied up with selenium or similar to drive more complex interactions on my desktop browser & have them mirrored by pushing javascript to my phone, could make this a very powerful change.

edit: misread istvanp

Not just rails, same for django (https://github.com/search?q=SECRET_KEY&repo=&langOve...) and I imagine any framework with this sort of thing in their default project skeleton

I tried that in chrome too, saw it didnt work and presumed the site handled it, not my browser, IE9 avoids it as well, even shows a little popup saying the site has been modified to prevent xss, latest FF still displays the alert though.

what on earth has happened with engadgets url structure?

tried (albeit briefly) to re-write it to get to the desktop version, failed a couple of times before i spotted the desktop link at the bottom, which looks to append ?m=false, and now the first piece of content in the body element is the word "false", presumably debugging stuff, hope that's sanitised properly!

"lies, damned lies and benchmarks" springs to mind.

my apache is not your apache etc.

I obviously havent rebooted, but visiting the website and hitting "run anyway" now causes the same hang, then the tab closes with no further notification.

needless to say that plugin is being removed,
