   Not sure how others do this, but I use Amazon Cloudfront. You just prepend the cloudfront url to your asset path (like mybucket.cloudfront.net/path/to/my/local/file), and ... that's it. That's all you have to do. It's fantastic.

   I love working from coffee shops occasionally, and find that I'm pretty productive. As long as there isn't someone talking loudly about their personal problems. Or talking loudly about politics.

   This is really great. I've been using this to debug JSON: http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ But I've always wanted code collapsing. (and have been surprised that I couldn't find a nice JSON editor like this).

   This what I was referring to: "... it was interpreted by many that we were going to sell your photos to others without any compensation. This is not true and it is our mistake that this language is confusing. To be clear: it is not our inte

    But wasn't this whole thing a big misunderstanding? They were never going to sell users' photos. The TOS changed to make way for "promoted" photos (advertising). http://blog.instagram.com/post/38252135408/thank-you-and-wer... Please corre

    Where are the comments? The comments are much more important than page layout or the number of tweets.

    I'm a big fan of "mistakes". They really jump out at you.

    I love the name. In fact, that's the name I've been kicking around for my CMS :D Man, what a coincidence. Now, I shall call it ... "Hot Website Makr"! (without the "e") I'd like to see someone take THAT!

    Does anyone know if this is correct? If someone pays me $1000 with a credit card, I pay Visa $25 (2.5% transaction fee) If someone pays me $1000 with Dwolla, I Pay Dwolla 25 cents. That's what I could figure out, but it seems too good to be

    I thought there was a law against doing that (net neutrality). I've heard that ISPs discriminate between "types" of content (video vs text). But I wasn't aware they were discriminating based on the company (Netflix vs YouTube).

    I heard a tennis coach say something similar: If you don't try to hit the ball too hard, just get it back in-play -- you'll beat everyone who's worse than you, everyone who's as good as you, and half the guys that are better than you.

    It's working for me. There's about a 1 second delay before the CSS3 styles kick-in. But that's not a deal-breaker. This is fantastic.

    The comments in this thread seem to be referring to Symfony 1. Symfony2 is completely different. If PHP is a requirement, you should really check it out.
