When will tools like Flash be created for HTML5/javascript? (with drawing tools, animation tools, etc)

Don't think of an elephant.

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).

That IS a great saying, thanks for sharing that. I'll remember that one forever.

Laughing at the XKCD cartoon -- I remember having the same idea (and realization) for having a license plate that's all O's and zeros.

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 intention to sell your photos. We are working on updated language in the terms to make sure this is clear."

and this:

"The language we proposed also raised question about whether your photos can be part of an advertisement. We do not have plans for anything like this and because of that we’re going to remove the language that raised the question."

So it sounds like they never wanted to sell people's photos, or use them in advertisements. (which is what the major complaint was, right?)

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).

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I can picture it now :D

Me: "This isn't what I ordered."

Cashier: "It's what you ordered last time. We went ahead and made it for you. And we also charged your account. Aren't you delighted?"

Me: "But I just wanted a coffee. Now my account is overdrawn, and you just cost me a $35 overdraft fee."

It's the highest version of Firefox available for PowerPC Macs (pre-Intel).

For anyone who hasn't seen Bret Victor's mind-blowing talk, here it is:

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.

Darn. Looks like it doesn't have the jaw-dropping sharpen feature demo-ed here:

I heard about him from his work on the original Tron.

http://www.google.com/search?q=moebius+tron&hl=en&pr...

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 true.

"Typing is not my bottleneck in coding. Thinking is."

I love that statement.

Very nicely done. I like the use of the character icons instead of images. Not pixel-perfect, but surprisingly good.

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.

Is Lodsys a "shell company" of Intellectual Ventures?

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.

I love this. LOVE it!

Just tried to sign up, and got a "Server Temporarily Unavailable" error screen. That was unexpected :P

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.

Propel is completely different as of 1.6. It doesn't really use the "Criteria" objects any more. (which is probably what they're referring to)

It's much simpler now:

articles = ArticleQuery->where(column = ?, val)->groupBy(column)->limit(10)->find()

I like it, but it's still very resource-heavy.

HTTP cache seems to be an important part of Symfony2. Does anyone have experience with that? (either in Symfony or another framework)

Is that the preferred caching method these days?
