A problem I faced recently with web components using shadow dom is styling nested components within custom element:

From <user-avatar> we can give styles to <img>

<user-avatar> <img src="https://example.com/path/to/img.jpg" alt="..." /> </user-avatar>

but not anymore when its below <picture>

<user-avatar> <picture> <img src="https://example.com/path/to/img.jpg" alt="..." /> </picture> </user-avatar>

These packages are really useful for small to medium sized projects where you need little to no customization! When you do need something greater than what the package can provide then I find it better to use something else because these tend to pollute the namespace and things in my experience get really complicated when you start adding your own stuff with them, or modifying them.

Even though they are compact you probably end up having lots of unused CSS code in your website.

Nothing at this scale but this summer in Finland there was a national park bridge fail. The merging of the local municipalities caused the bridge maintenance to be taken care of by the new municipality. In the merge the maintenance was simply forgotten for ten years.

One could say, to be fair, there wouldn't be any Unix & C without the mathematics of Gottfried Leibniz from Germany. This discussion is ridiculous.

No offense but I couldn't find a licence or open source mention ;)

If you are publishing something as "open source" I think you should include the license or mention it some way. As long as you don't, it's not "open source".

I think it is not about doing the actual digging and changing code of open source project. It is more the idea that it is possible and can be done if needed.

Just have to say, it is great to see Microsoft turning again into a software company! Even after all the hate, they do great products and good stable software. A great example of a successful software company.

I find that this is happening most of all when I'm reading in a non native language. And when reading in native, the thought process is much faster and better that I don't get voices(:D) so much.

Got stable release from Ubuntu repositories with apt-get.

Most of the websites work, but are visually broken. Google seems to be working okay.

But the speed is super. It is like Firefox, Chrome and IE are these big slow monsters and Dillo is the little hero running around them.

Dillo shows pages, other process them.

Dunno how bad burnt olive oil can be for you. But there certainly are many kinds of olive oils, and some of them (especially extra virgin) are very likely to get very bad taste when heated to high temperatures.

It amazes me that we humans have made something that has travelled over seven billion kilometers in cold dark emptiness and sends us highly detailed photographs of things we have never seen before.

Nokia the company, not the current phone brand, but the company which sold its phone business to Microsoft. (Yes very confusing)

Anyway Nokia's CEO has made a statement that they are going to start making phones again: http://fortune.com/2015/06/22/nokia-ceo-phones/

The Nokia - Microsoft deal lasts till 2016.

I'm pretty sure Valve, like other online shops, have a content management team which optimizes the shop in all kinds of ways. Automation is probably heavily included but not completely running the shop.

I don't know does it have any connection or any relevance, but it strikes to me that so many high status websites still use plain HTTP.

This is much due to the fact that in some european countries the government gives monopoly status to some business areas if they are willing to work how the government want them to work. This usually has a negative impact on the winnings of the local company.

For example taxis are supposed to work and be reachable all around the country with the same prices, not just in high volume areas. If there is a new company that steps on the prices of the high volume areas, the older local company won't be able to offer the service in low volume areas.

People get angry if they don't have good services in their living areas.

Sure, but you need larger platform than just a browser to do that.

I mean, for example total beginners may find this truly helpful.

Tried it for 30mins. I installed apache2 and made a quick mirror of my personal homepage with wget.

After the 30min session the window closed and it told me that session expired. Although the actual server was still up at the ip. About 5 minutes later apache shut down, so I guess the server was destroyed.

This is great for experimenting things. You could quickly for example test "sudo rm -rf" at the root and see what it does. Nice one!

I'm not a fan of just learning a new framework, if you have no use for it. The vast time you spent on learning completely new framework is of course very good in overall but if you have no need for the framework it may feel pointless.

So my advice is to pick an interesting project which you can build using modern techniques like ember or react. That way you have greater motivation to learn and you get results for the work you have done.

thanks, fixed

2.10.2014 Rovio started employee co-operation negotiations because the growth hasn't been what was expected. The negotiations resulted to reduce the workforce by 110 people.

This procedure is required by Finlands law and this might seem abit strange to people from other countries where firing someone is not a case of 2 months.

Just as a side note, its great to see someone trying to make good use of the new top level domains.

Multi-millionaire Mike Markkula provided essential business expertise and funding of $250,000 during the incorporation of Apple.

Clubs, sports and other group events doesn't solve the underlaying problem that in order to get friends or to become friends with someone you have to be interested in that person. If you are interested at someone and value him/her you will most likely like to spend time with them.

Everyone is saying that making friends as an adult is hard. Small talk, meeting new people, being friends is actually really easy. Just be interested about the guy/gal and listen to their story. I think you shouldn't even think that "hey today I'm going to make a friend", they are people, all of us are precious and have a great story to tell. You meet them everyday and if you just wish to get to know them better, listen and be interested. If you can't find the interest to listen to other people or do something with them, you will probably end up not having too many friends. Think about the motives why you want to meet new friends and why haven't you made them yet, what is the underlaying cause? Usually it is not that you are an introvert or can't speak the language properly. And this is something that you need to work with yourself.

Sure sports and clubs can help with the meeting process but as there are people everywhere, it is not the only way. You should go into these things if you want to do the subject of the club.

At first I thought it is free music without ads: "Unlimited, ad-free streaming. Free with Amazon Prime." I noticed "Listen free for 30 days", so there is some kind of trick here.

I logged into the system and on the next screen they were asking for my credit card information which is needed to start a 30 day free trial on Amazon Prime (after it is $100/year). Prime is some kind of premium service for Amazon services.

So, Amazon Prime Music is FREE if you BUY Amazon Prime. In my opinion that is not anyway free, well okay it is for 30 days after that you will get automaticly charged.

Crashed my Firefox. There is still much to be done in performance that these visualizations can be used properly and in larger scale. But cool map anyway!

It always amazes me how so bad quality graphics back in the 90s or early 2000 looked so bad but still everybody thought they were great and amazing (at least I thought).

Probably we think now that we have good looking graphics but after 15 years of development they aren't so good anymore.. AMD/ATI and NVIDIA have done great work over the years.

That wouldn't work in Finland since all of the pizzas would be stonecold by the time they arrived for the hangoverish fins.

:(

Anyway I think it's a great success and great example for the public of how these things could benefit the daily life in a real world.

some great piece of work about cats ^_^

Seems to crash on Firefox 24.1.0 ESR, also on IE 10 I can't click on anything.

Text editor is too complicated if you need to learn how to use it..
