VML was great when you wanted to do canvas-like things with IE6 Back In The Day: http://excanvas.sourceforge.net/ I had some visual analytics tools that ran "canvas" on IE6 in 2008 thanks to VML. Never did pure VM

Well, this is the future of the music industry. It's an incredibly sound ivestment to increase the buy-in of major players to increase the overall long-term viability of the product. It's kind of a "duh", but to be fair

I find this specious: What modern web app isn't minifying/concatenating it's Javascript and CSS source? All of your concerns are easily remedied via a proper build procedure. And we're talking about, in relative terms, m

Assuredly, like most/anything in life, repetition and dedication will be your regex salvation. Tools such as this are shortcuts for newcomers to grok the various operators rapidly. I think they are very worthwhile.

I love these types of things. Kudos to the author. This one in particular reminds me of a tool I've always found useful. It's an interactive Regex builder just like the one linked in the OP. I would say it's got some additio

No, I'm talking about the substance of your comment. It's rambling and conflating seemingly completely unrelated topics. I do not recognize what you have described as any current reality I am a part of: >> "...lot of hi

"space" is also a great adjunct next to "disrupt" that needs to be destroyed. How about I "disrupt" the "space" next to your "face". !

Exactly. There are countless standards issued by the W3C that are completely ignored by Browser Vendors at large. Yet it's still the most relevant consortium on the matter. Conversely, there are countless features introduced by Browser

I enjoy Slate, but: What is this, ValleyWag? Bravo TV? I care about technology. If I want to hear about a character drama I'll watch TV. The intersection of both is boundlessly boring to me. NOT. INTERESTED.

1) Do you really, honestly think repeat of DMCA anticircumvention is going to happen? I find this highly, highly, highly unlikely. 2) Because of #1: Don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good. This is a good interim solution.

How to use a "real" editor: Oh ffs, c'mon. Most people in their daily lives will never need Vim or Emacs. And let's be honest, if anything, they're way better off using something like Nano, that has a short-cut syst

I disagree. I think you're taking a narrow-scope on this story. The lesson here is that you can teach kids about any facet of the computing landscape, and they can catch on quickly and learn a valuable skill. Just because you're n
