    The character set is also optional if sent as an http header. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/charset.html#h-5.2.2 And a supporting talk by paul irish http://paulirish.com/2011/pri…

    Then Java, Chrome, Ruby, Rails, Bash, Curl, Python, Apache, Lynx, Scheme, Unity and dozens of other project names must infuriate you :).

    The difference being that Diablo 3 has an in-game real-money market, and more people playing the game means more people putting money into that market. The same strategy has been a…

    Creating software that helps whoever uses it is the only immediate requisite for being a useful programmer.

    Ridiculous. Coming to your partner's defense is not a matter of gender, but one of loyalty. Reverse the genders in this case and the threat still applies.

    Working on a project with no set style standard, this article does a good job of voicing my frustrations. When tasked with inventing a new piece of the software, each designer, pro…

    Some issues... Even using the grid normally, it ends up using more horizontal space than on the viewport, forcing a horizontal scrollbar (Chrome 18). Another problem: setting max-w…

    Depending on the severity of your "ums", this is a facet "normal people" may need not perfect (or even need to work on). This article is the minimum strategy, the 80% of a good pre…

    The entire "More" menu seems out of place. I would expect it to have options related to search, and a few items in there definitely are relevant, but the presence of the Privacy an…

    What was your motivation to use fixed pixel widths for grid sections instead of percentages? "Do we really need yet another boilerplate? Yes." Not entirely convincing :P

    Can anyone explain exactly why this is sinister? If the label is aware of the price they're selling the license at and buying the data, where is the unfair deception?

    Of course views/week is not necessarily the best measure of success. Those 5 views a week for 500 questions may have been excellent matches, whereas hundreds might have been poor m…

    There's good code, which is something that good products build their foundation on, and near perfect code, which can get in the way of building realistic solutions on time. > Do yo…

    Not that it matters, at all. It's a gift, an endorsement.

    It really doesn't look like variables to me. A variable would be a reference to a singularly defined property, such as a color or border style, not a hook to an entire list of prop…

    I'm torn on this. Inheritance already exists through assigning multiple classes and the cascade, and now it's impossible to use a "child" class without dragging its parent along wi…

    Correct me if I'm wrong here, but a site can't "be" HTML5. It can use technologies that require browsers which have implemented it from the HTML5 draft, but there is not a watershe…

    The existing moderators can elect new moderators who can carry it on. The current (and only) mod is currently simply choosing not to, and made his intentions clear in that regard.

    Valve may have creative rights on the details, but I'd be surprised if they could convince a judge that they own the rights to a whole genre of gaming. Especially when there's alre…

    IceFrog isn't strictly the author of DotA. DotA is, if memory serves, based on an even older mod called Aeon of Strife. And DotA's development history is riddled with support from …
