antonp··on UK government declines to pardon Alan Turing
Here's a link to the excellent documentary "Britain's greatest codebreaker" that tells Alan Turing's story. http://documentaryheaven.com/britains-greatest-codebreaker/
antonp··on Russian legislative elections 2011 - statistical evidence of vote fraud
Huhtenberg, care to provide a link, please?
antonp··on InstaCSS: the CSS docs you always wish you had
Yes, needs better separator elements to distinguish between the hits. A condensed default view would help with this though.
antonp··on 37signals has hired a full time filmmaker to document its every move
I would think that hiring a film maker falls under the PR umbrella. PR adds value. Needless ostentation doesn't.

Time will tell.

antonp··on Practical Nerd: The hidden price of “free”
5 - 7 hours easily. This is not the high quality stream though.

And by awesome UX I was mostly referring to nearly latency free track skipping.

Very sad, but true : http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2010/how-much-do-music...

Having played in a band myself I certainly do end up with a bitter-sweet aftertaste when consuming music on Spotify. I've got a paid subscription and I'm absolutely loving it!

It just doesn't make sense: music is such an integral part of our lives yet the people who drive it end up being exploited in a blatant way.

"Don't hate the player. Hate the game." comes into mind when seeing the linked infographic... I just hope to see the rules change in my lifetime.

antonp··on Why must you laugh at my back end?
>I don't know if I write 'best practice' python or django but it's about x6 less code than in PHP.

Just curious... Surely you mean django vs php (not zend or some other framework - which _would_ have been the fair comparison.

A month worth of Spotify premium usage will result in this amount of traffic : http://imgur.com/wVdmS (screenshot from my network traffic monitor)

I completely agree with the poster who said that this is an acceptable price to pay for the awesome UX we're getting.

antonp··on Learn Vim Progressively
This post on SO has some nice bits in it : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/726894/what-are-the-dark-...

"imap jj <esc>" being my favourite.

antonp··on Free Printed Copies of "Version Control by Example"
Would be great if you guys would report back with a ROI type report on this pr stunt. Wish you all the best!
antonp··on CSS3 Transitions Without Using :hover
Was pleasantly surprised to see that :focus and :active sort of work in IE8. IE7 none.
antonp··on Depression, Burn Out and Writing Code
Odds are your last sentence was a figure of speech, but I will go ahead and post this as a reference: "Intimate connections" by David Burns is a well regarded book on the somewhat related subject of building relationships.

antonp··on Red Bull's Billionaire Maniac
> Mateschitz, 67, has been a patron saint for more than two decades to late-night partiers, exam-week undergrads, long-haul truckers, and, above all, extreme-sports athletes everywhere.

I would think that the overwhelming presence of the brand on extreme-sports events has more to do with demographics of the tv-audience than with 'athletes' liking the drink.
