donbronson··on Airlock – Facebook's mobile A/B testing framework
Apple makes developers wait to release new versions (approval process) while Android does not. As a result, iOS is a better choice for A/B testing since it has longer cycles of deployment.
donbronson··on Visual Studio 2013 Launches With New Online Tools, Browser-Based Code Editor
Does it only work in IE?
donbronson··on Firefox Developer Tools and Firebug
So long Firebug. It was like Christmas when we first saw what you did for us.
donbronson··on Android KitKat
[PUN WARNING] it's a breaking change
donbronson··on Instagram Django site admin
Pinterest and Instagram are both using Django. Then again, when you are scale like these sites, you start to build new architecture around existing stuff. Reference: http://highscalability.com/blog/2013/4/15/scaling-pinterest-...
donbronson··on APIs are Dead, Long Live APIs
Misleading headline. Seems that Facebook's API is still up and running. Holla.
donbronson··on Simple user styles for popular websites
ads are removed. seems like this is less about style and more about removing things we are annoyed by, no?
donbronson··on Simple user styles for popular websites
If you like that.... There's a chrome extension that makes .com look more like their other properties: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/neue-face/pjjeeinb...
donbronson··on jQRangeSlider - Slider For Selecting Value Ranges, Supporting Dates & More
This is wonderful. I especially like the display range of dates. Is there any plan to add date editing via calendar selection as well?
donbronson··on US patent chief to software patent critics: "Give it a rest already"
> [Kappos] argued would allow the patent office to weed out low-quality software

I wonder how he would define "low-quality software"

donbronson··on Spammers started to hit GitHub?
using CAPTCHAs assumes the majority of people are spammers rather than real users. it's an alienating user experience and one that i hope goes away.
donbronson··on BootMetro: Metro style web framework
It's interesting to see that the syntax of the html/css is identical to Twitter's Bootstrap. It really goes to show you that the syntax and nomenclature that Twitter developed won and NOT the design.
donbronson··on Show HN: A date range picker for Twitter Bootstrap
Datejs is huge. Seems to be a shame they made it a dependency.
donbronson··on Google Fiber
Google will have to offer cable TV for this to work. I really hope they do. The MSOs deserve some competition.
donbronson··on WordPress site in 24 hour for $1000
Seems expensive for existing template and little customization.
donbronson··on Google+ grows 43% in June
"Larger" is a relative term. How many people pay monthly subscriptions to LinkedIn vs Google+ ?
donbronson··on Google Art Project
Really cool. I didn't know there was an awkward oil painting of Hillary Clinton hanging in the White House.
donbronson··on Google Art Project
Horizontal scrolling is the expected behavior on tablets
donbronson··on Stop Using jQuery. Use Javascript. Use Nodejs.
Exactly. This comes out when interviewing front-end developers who claim they understand Javascript. Then, when I ask them to do something trivial, they pull out an 80Kb library and need to look up basic documentation to center a DIV. Bah!
donbronson··on WordPress has left the building
i find it ironic that the site complaining about wordpress is still powered by wordpress
donbronson··on Twitter releases new JS template engine: hogan.js
Nice to see Twitter has a sense of humor. "Lovingly crafted by bros" in the footer is a nice touch.
donbronson··on InstaCSS: the CSS docs you always wish you had
This site would be even better if they included compatibility. Maybe there could be an API call to http://caniuse.com/ ?
donbronson··on HTML Email Boilerplate
the templates that mailchimp put on github seem much more useful https://github.com/mailchimp/Email-Blueprints
donbronson··on New Chrome extension: block sites from Google’s web search results
When I first read the headline, I assumed it meant blocking all of Google's sites from the SERPs (Youtube, blogger, etc). Perhaps this would be a nice way to rule out any potential nepotism.
