XLcommerce··on Sublime Text 2: Beta
I really like the feel of sublime text, however there's one feature keeping me on Notepad++ which is double click to highlight text also highlights all instances of that word in the document.
XLcommerce··on New Google Web Fonts Interface
Cleartype wreaks havoc on webfonts. Turning it off gives you smooth fonts, but jaggy regular text >:|

Strangely IE6 (and 7? i think) are OK even with cleartype on.

There is a css hack to get font smoothing on windows:

h1{ text-shadow: 0 0 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.0001); /* Transparent Shadow make some kind of webkit font smoothing kick in */ }

A/B testing is such an awesome tool to use. We're spoiled for information as web developers. Any other industry would kill to have such immediate, quantitative data on-hand.

We're just about to launch a new product. Anyone with first hand experience with visual website optimizer that would care to give some feedback?

XLcommerce··on Ask HN: Is PHP dead for startups? Could PHP revive?
My startup is built on PHP. I chose to use CakePHP for MVC goodness.

My choice of PHP was due to easy deploy (no heroku when we started). And I was scared off from more glitzy languages/frameworks like Ruby/Rails due to talk about performance issues.

So far no complaints. PHP is one ugly language, but it gets the job done ;)

"people often disable the plugins and are conscious about plugins being an attack surface"

actually I think most people can't tell the difference between a browser and a search engine ;)
