When this happens to me – the hour or so I'm awake in the middle of the night is not a peaceful relaxing time – the night has this pessimistic quality to it: the assignment I'm working on is impossible, I'll never get it done, I'll lose my

Highly recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/Language-Thought-Action-Fifth-Edition/... Which talks in detail about the "informative" and "affective" connotations of words (it's a lot more entertaining than it sounds). Only slightly r

As far as speed reading books go, this one is decent: http://www.amazon.com/Spd-Rdng-Techniques-Accelerated-ebook/... It's the best superpower: read that book first, then all the rest here in 1/5th the time!

I agree with you - absolutely. The potential for growth and perspective as a human being is innate - some people have more of it than others. Though those people with greater potential - an awareness that our experiences can change us - are

Sigh. That wasn't at all what I was trying to say. I'm not my father either... but a piece of his generic code is in me. He was the final link of a countless chain of beings, and I am a continuation of that chain, and my daughter will be to

I'm 35, been together with my wife for about 8 years and we're finally expecting our first kid in about 1 month. We were both always firmly in the "no kids" camp, the cost/benefit ratio just never seemed to add up. So what changed our minds

I totally see this as the future of photography. Good pictures are all about timing (luck) - i'm pretty sure you could give a monkey a digital camera with enough storage and come up with a World Press Photo of the Year. I think about how di

A. Causality came into existence with the beginning of the universe and so was never violated. B. An eternal God exists separate from the universe he created I think the issue that most skeptics have with "B", is not that it is being pr

Preprocessors evaluate CSS and the cascade so there's nothing stopping them from adding local scope or specificity to variables. On the other hand, if you can really edit variable values with Javascript then that would be client-side only,

That slow motion `rm -rf` is a little doubtful. Sounds more like an ftp-style recursive delete.

That's why I just use VI. Ever since Nibs became XML there's no reason to ever use XCode anymore. Seriously though.. XCode does suck. It's a miracle anyone has been able to write an iOS app, let alone over 500,000.. /sarcasm

I wonder if the much higher DPI let's the new iPad get away with lower brightness overall - ie allows it to compensate on battery life.

I guess from MPOV, "eloquent" formatting shouldn't change based on the size of the content... ie the difference between standard indenting and tab-aligning commas vertically. There's nothing eloquent about stepping through a dozen lines of

I thought about it like you describe - but then why even bother with the generation, why not be able to browse your stylesheets and have them transformed into styleguides realtime: https://github.com/aglemann/instant-styleguide

I had a similar idea - a living styleguide derived from the css. I envisioned it in 3 parts: * A way to transform css into html ( https://github.com/aglemann/css2html ) * A simple webserver that would detect a stylesheet, run it through the

I'm not sure I agree with this. I don't think a user should have to re-download all the JS on the site if I just change a single line. Small changes probably happen frequently and shouldn't invalidate the entire JS cache. If I were using a

Interesting. I wonder if Google is trying to push this because no one uses the semantic blockquote, cite and q tags properly? Edit: Seems to me if the above tags were used properly Google should be able to determine original source just by
