caipre··on SimCity’s Sims Don’t Seem That Smart After All
Javascript? I haven't been tracking the details of this game at all, but is the GUI really done in Javascript? Are they using a custom engine of some sort? How can that possibly be performant?
caipre··on Why does Google append while(1); in front of their JSON responses?
I had no idea 'prepend' was used so infrequently.
caipre··on Your code style guide is crap, but still better than nothing.
I understand the readability argument for literature, where lines of text are left-justified. In code though, indentation is much more prevalent. Between indentation and alignment, some lines of code are unsettlingly clipped to a small fraction of the available 80 characters.

I still recommend wrapping at 80 chars though.

caipre··on Github has a new Design
Maybe they released this by location, but I've seen this new design for the past few weeks. It's nice that the logo doesn't have jaggies now, like it still does here: https://gist.github.com/

Edit: Seems that's actually a Firefox issue. Compare Chrome 21 (top) vs Firefox 18 (bottom): http://imgur.com/5XSRH

For those who don't know, it's possible to remove an autocomplete suggestion by highlighting it and pressing the delete key. This works for HTML form fields and address/search bar suggestions.
