It didn't look very smooth either, the pictures jumped around a lot and... wait did you say Vista desktop!? Nevermind :)
Don't you just have your other hand on the keyboard all the time anyway? Set FF to open everything in tabs, so that's solved, and then use cmd+: w to close windows, q to quit, c to copy, v to paste, etc etc... they're…
Assuming you're using a Mac, opt-cmd-h will hide all windows but the one you're using... Personally, what I find worse than 'distractions' is being blinded by whitespace caused by Firefox (/whatever) being way too huge.…
Managing windows is a big pain? Is it 1980? :)
> i run full width. Really!? Can I ask why? Why not just make the browser about 1050px or so wide, you can view every website out there and you can have other things in the extra space (twitter, client, terminal,…
Talk about flame-bait. I'm not sure who they're arguing with here. Developers that write code in Ruby have a testing culture... I've never heard anyone imply that Matz and the core development team care even slightly…
Two words: Vocal Minority This happens every time Facebook (or any other major site for that matter) makes a change. A few months from now everyone will forget about it and get on with their lives. At least until they…
There are many hundreds more lines in the background of the sinatra example the OP lists (the 7 lines, that is).
If you ask me (I maintain a fork of flot on github) there is no reason to use a client-side library for graphing unless the graphs are dynamic. Requesting/rendering/etc tons of images is painful, flot can add and remove…
I maintain a fork of flot on github. The graphs function correctly in IE (barring some here-and-there bugs which you can report). The only issue is speed (always an issue with IE), and as a result I wouldn't try too…
'Letting' students use the internet while they're writing essays? I think I'm missing something. I've never written an essay anywhere but on a computer with regular stuff around, including a web browser, etc.
Because we shouldn't ever have any fun? We shouldn't check out Blake's cool little micro-framework? We shouldn't use our own blogs for things we find interesting?
Did you try getting it to fit? Even 'cheating' a bit by renaming the route and make the TTL 1 second I couldn't get it closer than -2 :/ I can get to +1 character left if I just make the route '/:n'! :)
The fact that it's not available in other countries doesn't have to do with technical limitations of the over-the-air functionality since you can just download books to your computer and copy them to the device over…
Tom is awesome, GitHub is awesome, RubyFringe was awesome. Enough said.
This sort of thing can really slow an entire company down. Work on getting it mentioned in performance reviews. If 'non-techies' start to have their bosses poking around asking questions about "so why do I keep hearing…
I think I once took the battery out of my MacBook, but it was because I was adding memory. So, yes, definitely.
In this situation one normally considers getting a job of some sort.
My technique is super low-tech. In my bookmarks bar, positioned conveniently below the site's favicon, I have a folder which is called "For Later". Into this folder I drop stuff I'll want to come back to at some point.…
Give E-TextEditor a try if you're stuck on Windows. http://www.e-texteditor.com/
I don't see the big deal. Especially if it's just a job post title. Think of it as just another way to say 'Senior' without implying any specific years of experience or worse, age.
