The script would be for huge amounts of images that may change, if they are provided from a third party. Most thumbnail scripts implement caching, so effectively they are only doin…

I find it very interesting that apps are downloading images that are an order of magnitude larger (in file size) than they need to be. First we use expensive bandwidth to download …

Whether or not his websites are still online doesn't erase the built-up brand. The "Dive Into..." books are still mirrored and generally respected resources.

I think the problem is that Google is increasingly optimized for the vast majority of people who have no idea how search engines work and don't put any thought into their query. Th…

Hate it. I was always annoyed when I had to switch from Top News to Most Recent, and now I don't have a choice. The addition of random visual embellishments like blue corners and 3…

Just curious how other work driven, tech centric people are doing in this area of life.

Correct.

I graduated with a CS degree and am making about $32k a year, before paying for insurance, at an IT job. Where can I sign up for one of these horribly low paying $45-75k/year progr…

If developers always have the fastest machines available, how will they test or care about speed? I hope they have automated benchmarks of common tasks at least. (Although it is ob…

Ditto. I'm quite happy with my qwerty-keyboard dumbphone, but I would love to buy one of these!

Your website needs to have a one sentence explanation of what it does, e.g. measure sleep and wake you up when you're in a light sleep. You pretty much have to read the FAQ to figu…

Really? Where do they get clients? I'll start tonight!

So I've read 1,4, and 5 now, and found them wildly interesting. One begins to get a picture of a protein and fat focused paleo diet, providing great endurance, and our modern and r…

Very interesting. However, the time frame doesn't work in this example, those studies showed reduced performance for a week, and then back to baseline or slightly above.

This seems reasonable, until you consider that there might be other factors at play. Maybe he eats food that is hard to digest or causes a sugar rush and then sugar crash, and simp…

You make a good case for trying a lunch that isn't (simple) carb laden then. =)

I must not consume enough advertising, as I haven't noticed this campaign =P I personally tend to have trail mix and a low calorie sports drink for breakfast, but I'm weird like th…

Farther down in that diet you can see that its not considered healthy as a general practice: "The ketogenic diet is not a benign, holistic or natural treatment for epilepsy; as wit…

This ignores all research already done on the brain and nutrition, and also common sense. Its pretty well understood that the brain runs on glucose. Now of course if you eat too mu…

This is not a "bug" or a virus. XP simply remembers the last ad-hoc network you connected to, to be used when there are no actual APs around. As a blindingly obvious differentiatio…

As others have pointed out, Gmail and other mail clients are designed to specifically block this kind of thing. How is an apparently viable business based on such a non-platform?

No, he uses an example XSS exploit to view Verizon FIOS router pages, but there are lots of ways to get MAC addresses.

You can definitely skip photoshop. http://24ways.org/2009/make-your-mockup-in-markup QED

Excellent, that ship should help a lot if the numbers I've seen are accurate.
