rberdeenon Running feature specs with Capybara and Chrome headless

Headless Chrome is controlled using the Chrome DevTools protocol, which has quite a few options for tracking and modifying network requests.

Everything you get in the Network inspector in Chrome DevTools should be available in Headless Chrome.

rberdeenon Mandrill - Transactional Email from MailChimp

rberdeenon Hadoop Reaches 1.0

Hadoop versioning has always been a little confusing to me:

* 0.23.0: 11 November, 2011

* 0.22.0: 10 December, 2011

Now we have 1.0, but it's based on 0.20, not any of the more recent releases?

The 1.0 release notes are pretty useless--it's just a list of issues. Is there a summary anywhere?

rberdeenon Why Facebook's 'Frictionless Sharing' violates HTTP

Agreed. I can't imagine that any meaningful percentage of Facebook users care about the HTTP spec.

JavaScript in modern web apps has made the distinction between GET and other HTTP methods irrelevant to users. Simply changing these "frictionless sharing" apps to use POST instead of GET doesn't address anyone's concerns.

rberdeenon Fixing the little things in Gmail

I suspect this distinction isn't clear to most people, who see "check for new emails" as an action to be performed.

Sad to see they didn't fix my "one thing": nothing should take more than ten seconds.

rberdeenon Show HN: CSS3 Animated Glowing Forms

"Proper HTML"? There are some minor problems with it, but the placement of the input tag isn't one of them.

Try validating it.
