I think he's referring to the fact that it crashes on him. I also think he's attributing the crashes to the new trending bar.

Cute! Now it just needs a TextMate bundle.

In this pic you can really see that IE has HUGE gaps between releases.

I like how he uses CSS transforms on the :before and :after pseudo element to give it that "lifted" effect. That's something I never thought to try before.

What kind of syntax highlighting does this app support? I copy/pasted some HTML with script and style tags and none of it got any sort of coloring.

There is a way to create new files and folders in the lower left-hand corner if you pull out the tray on the left.

http://www.chevys.com/ is not the website you'd expect to find.

There's the classic http://www.nissan.com/.

The function in the click handler does take a parameter 'e' (...or whatever you call it) which is an Event object. But I think you're on to something by using currying.

If you run the code you'll find that they all alert('4'). However, the third parameter of els.addEventListener() so you'll get an exception if you run the code verbatim.

I like his point that the core of the debate should really be about choice. But then he lost me when he characterized the MPEG-LA as a ruthless cartel.

I had a friend who did history research in Hollywood for movie companies. That is one example of a non-academic historian.

Heck, you could even say that some news reporters and non-fiction book authors are modern day historians.

It has long descenders and ascenders which make it easy for dyslexic readers to differentiate letters. Dyslexic readers also find handwritten looking fonts easier to read because they are more familiar with that style.

It's the holiday season. Of course there are going to be discounts. If you follow a couple of the links in the article you'll find that some of those discount were temporary promotions.

This article says a lot about HTML5 but I don't think the author actually knows what it is. He's not a programmer and he seems to start from the position that programming languages are things which can be "owned."

This reminds me of the Toughest Developer Puzzle Ever:

The zoom in my browser seems to work fine.

Where are people applying such that their interviews are riddled with trick questions?

The last four job interviews I've landed really just wanted to know if I could do the job and as such, the questions were very straight forward and didn't test for anything that wasn't actually asked in the question.

INTERVIEWER: What is your experience with source control systems?

ME: I use Git for my personal projects and I have used Subversion and Perforce on professional projects in the past.

It's not as if they are trying to tease out how active my Github account is. They just want to know if there is going to be additional ramp-up time if I were to be hired.

"While this is obviously true, the point in your business's life at which you decide to stop coding is of critical importance."

Just to clearify, when Rand says "grunt-level work" he means SEO and not coding. Early on at SEOmoz the coding was done by a guy y'all might know as "The Oatmeal."

As someone who has been laid off by Rand Fishkin himself, it feels REALLY weird for me to read this article.

Remember back when Silverlight apps were actually written in JavaScript?

I've seen a handful of these in my career as an Search Engine Optimizer. I often ignore them since there is good chance it is a scam and the author of the e-mail may not even be affiliated with the website in question.

The fact about $625 of revenue from every iPhone sold last year kinda boggles my mind. Where is the extra revenue coming from after they account for the $300 price tag?

The sites built for marketing Microsoft products are often outsourced. So the fact that the new Xbox website was broken in any regard is the fault of a poor marketing manager and not a poor Microsoft developer.

I do a lot of Omniture and DoubleClick analytics development and I find that Firebug plugins like Omnibug are irreplaceable. Is there an equivalent debugging tool for Chrome?

I've heard this opinion before and it really bothers me. It starts to turn relationships into business deals or transactions. I feel like that is a really selfish way of looking at the world.

It shouldn't be about what you can get from others but rather what you have to give.

I feel like this article and others which mention Tim Ferris start with a premise that isn't true for all people. They assume that 100% of our time is our own and we are free to use it as we choose.

For myself, I find that large portions of my time belong to someone else; my family, my job, my church. And once I carve out that time for others I am often left with only a couple hours here or there. And it seems laborious to fill that time with what would otherwise be considered work.

Apparently the first beer and wine Starbucks is going in here:

This article seems to be following the "Microsoft frameworks are for simple programmers" theme that I've been seeing more and more of here on Hacker News.

I don't know if that's bad or good since I've never really had to work in a .NET environment but I would hate for this article to be the embers of a forthcoming flame war.

That makes sense seeing as Safari is the default browser on ever brand new Mac and Google Chrome has only been available on the Mac for a year.
