So the concern of being able to cache the CSS (and delivering a smaller amount of data in subsequent requests) is now a non-factor when it comes to maximizing your page speed (or m…

Yet it remains, sadly, all too accurate. Newer tools like SASS and LESS help a little, but not enough.

I contract for a company that took on a client project that has ended up severely over-budget and over-schedule. The short version of events is that the timeline was quoted assumin…

I would lean towards 'no'. Adding letters to a common word is currently much less common than removing vowels or combining consonants, so will be slightly harder for people to reme…

Helpful answer: Python is a programming language. It can be used to create scripts, making it a scripting language as well. More or less by definition, a scripting language is a pr…

You, sir, are looking for the More Fields plugin ( http://wordpress.org/plugins/more-fields/ ), and possibly the More Types plugin ( http://wordpress.org/plugins/more-types/ ). MF …

I've started doing DDP Yoga ( http://www.ddpyoga.com/ - warning, autoplaying video) along with push-ups, squats and a bunch of stuff with a pile of dumbbells. With the help of an i…

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy first, and Nightfall (both the short story and the later novelization) second.

True enough. But all they'd have to memorize is one hard password (or even a pattern like 102938), and one modifier pattern based on the URL of the site. A simple example, using 10…

My brains alone. Over the years I've developed a pattern I can remember easily, and apply another pattern to it based on the site or app's name. It's a simple math formula that cha…

There's a min()/max() polyfill at https://github.com/indyarmy/jquery.cssMinMax.plugin right now. Someone with more patience might be able to extend it to support calc() as well.

Recently, I'm all about Python and Flask (or Web2Py for simpler things).

I seem to remember having a 30 minute bus ride to school through elementary school, and if I missed the bus, it was an hour's walk (though I could do it in about 10 minutes by bike…

I've used http://www.merchant-accounts.ca/ in the past and been happy with them.

In your example, if both developers are using TABs instead of spaces, why would it matter that one sees it as 5 spaces and the other as 8? It's still just a single TAB character ei…

I'm no Python expert, but the only reason I can think of is a combination of developer inertia and tradition. In most IDEs, a TAB can be displayed as any number of equivalent space…

I should be noted that XQuartz ( http://xquartz.macosforge.org/ ) is required in order to install Python on Mountain Lion (and possibly Lion as well).

The driver for not paying attention, same as now. A road painting might be a distraction, but it will only panic you if you see it at the last moment - which should only happen if …

Still one of the best SF shorts ever written.

I just received my retina MBP, and it's magnet is actually substantially stronger than the one in my old MBP. I do hate the "T" design, though.

I've never identified a strong correlation between my music playing and coding, but I've learned guitar, bass, saxophone, sousaphone, trumpet, piano, ukelele and drums over the yea…

Setup costs - PHP has a low barrier to entry in the sense that Apache's mod_php5 is a simple "a2enmod php5" command away. Even PHP-FPM with Nginx is only a few well-documented conf…

Requisite link to http://appwithphp.com/ - some basic minimal knowledge and stuff to make sure what you write is written as right as possible :)

One way might be to run the audio stream through a speech-to-text engine and parse the resulting transcript. A video recognition system could also be used to identify faces, landma…
