http://diveinto.html5doctor.com/past.html A very entertaining read, IMO.

Much like IanDrake said, this is super cool but kind of "primes" the user into thinking that he'll be able to play around with the code while paused. It'd be great if you supported…

Sure, you're right. I just meant that the real challenge is how to skew (and keep) the balance in the direction you want, in a sustainable, significant and achievable fashion.

"1. Calories in, calories out is the golden rule." Yes, but I'd argue it's not a very helpful rule. As it has been said before, it's pretty much like saying that the golden rule to…

Had some experience with it in BigCorp™. I don't love it, but it works. It's just a plugin that will install node (and npm), run `npm instal` and then run the specified gulp task. …

> AirBnB's marketshare is coming out of someone. In Portugal, it seems to be coming from the rental market. In the sense that there's been an increase in tourism and the increased …

If using the :target approach, I actually think it's an appropriate use of CSS and HTML. It's not a stretch to consider a tab as a fragment of the document, which can be accessed u…

Decriminalized. It's still illegal to consume, but not a crime - people aren't sent to jail or fined. Selling, of course, is illegal and a crime.

In Portugal, we have some "theoretically" restrictive labor laws, supposedly very protective towards the employee. Still, everyday you'll hear about someone being told that he/she …

Personally, I thinks it's way, way past any acceptable measure to improve positive thinking and engagement. It's closer to a shock tactic than to any new-age /*spiritual "put life …

Don't want to sound ungrateful, really, but sharing a little more info about the book "before" asking for my e-mail would be nice. A table of contents in the book download page, ma…

Adding elements just because (and, above it all, just for styling purposes) is wrong, of course. But having - or forcing - a tight coupling between structure (DOM) and layout/styli…

... and it relies on DOM structure. This is horrible, IMHO. Flex containers will layout the flex items, which are by definition its direct descendants. If by some reason [1] you ge…

After reading the trilogy, particularly the first book, I don't think "The Internet Galaxy" will add much. Even the following "big" one from Castells, "Mobile Communication and Soc…

Castells ideas are indeed presented in a very readable manner, most of the times complemented with figures and data. In my "academic" tradition (communication/media sciences meets …

I forgot to consider your list as aimed towards the Anderson Consulting people. Having that audience in mind, wouldn't Manuel Castells' work (mostly, the "The Information Age" tril…

"The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains" by Nicholas Carr might be of interest to you. And, well, to almost everyone here - your symptoms probably already appeared …

Would you have a place in your list for António Damásio's work on consciousness and, generally, the embodied mind?

I always wanted to ask you this: what's your opinion on Gregory Bateson's work on the intersection of anthropology, psychiatry, cybernetics and communication in general? Since this…

Take a look at http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/... Eventually perusing the Eurostat database itself would give a better picture of the evolution.

Languages shape and are shaped by the environment, by the way the speakers experiences the world. There's the example by Franz Boas, regarding the many words Inuit might have for d…
