This post you made is just begging you to read The Design of Everyday Things. :) I'm going through it right now, amazing book. Highly recommended.
Pretty neat but what value does this provide over something like Pandora, where you not only get recommendations of similar artists, but you listen to their music directly?
I don't think so. You just may get used to read without repeating each word to yourself. It's actually even useful, skipping the phase when you internally match the word with its pronunciation, and directly understanding meaning from the written form. (AFAIR this technique is also used for speed reading.)

Although while this extension is a neat idea, it the word “Immersion” in its title is probably misleading. It only automatically translates select words and phrases from web page—while immersion, I believe, means not using any other language except the one you're learning.

Still, the extension might be useful to acquire some initial knowledge of the language prior to actual immersion.
"In its default configuration, a basic Cloudflare plan has (almost) no settings. It's not like you make a choice e.g. to host only images there. "

Correct but you could use a completely separate domain for all the images and only enable cloudflare for that domains.
(Not a cloudflare customer I'm just pointing this strategy out.)
We're talking about an inspirational story told as a personal narrative. I'm willing to suspend some disbelief in this case to get the larger picture.
Regarding the comments, as a fluent but somewhat lapsed Norwegian speaker I don't think this is necessarily a great way to learn sentence structure or grammar, HOWEVER, it's an amazing way to buff up on vocab.

Maybe "brush up" would be more appropriate than "learn". The main advantages I see are that;

a) It's pretty passive

b) You're likely to learn vocabulary related to areas of interest, or at least areas you read about (work related perhaps).

It might benefit from some gameification or stats perhaps (e.g. number of pages, number of words, range of words)...
Yes, they still hijack NXDOMAIN among other things. The "other things" you can mostly disable with settings, but there's no way to get rid of the NXDOMAIN hijacking - at least for free, maybe you can pay them money to. It annoyed me sufficiently I switched back to Google DNS, even though I was getting better streaming performance with OpenDNS.

Like it. The only nuisance is the class attribute you have to repeat across all tags that you need to fill in.
When I first considered cloudflare the thing that kept me away (and this was quite some time ago) was the "quality" of the customers. In looking at the domains they hosted I rarely saw anything but small and spammy type sites. I also notice that they had constant churn. They would bring on customers but many customers were also leaving every day in numbers for any day I checked. This doesn't appear to have changed.

For the link below, simply change the date in the URL to any day and you will see the domains that are added and transferred out of cloudflare on a constant basis:

http://www.dailychanges.com/cloudflare.com/2012-05-02/

Added: To me given what cloudflare is it doesn't make sense that these domains are transferred out as frequently as they are other than for service related reasons. In fact we had suggested cf to a customer and they lasted about a week on the service and had issues.
That was added in the same update, I believe. Now in the "File -> Page settings" dialog there's a "Set as default" button.
I must be old; if Microsoft had even suggested taking a 30% cut of every PC application or purchase via the internet they'd have been lynched. Have most developers gone conformist/apologist?

Internet radio, typically DI (Digitally Imported). Minimal adverts, and the various trance stations play looooong sets.

Can't say that listening to the same album has ever made it difficult to think outside of a square. In fact, I used to listen to albums that I knew I was productive on whenever I needed to be productive, regardless of what I was busy with.

I find though, that music generally helps to get me through the mechanical motions of doing something that I know what/how to do - coding, documentation, etc. If I need to think about what to do or how to do it first, pure silence (circumaural Sennheisers) works best.
In thirty years, C code may be a goofy relic of ages past that is difficult to get going.

You can think about the effect of coding style instead of letting the experts think for you.

If you are doing a Topcoder round, then the random Topcoder user's advice is probably better than Carmack's. Carmack or Torvalds would probably tell you to use a variable name that gives a lot of information about its purpose, so that other people will find it easier to read your code. The Topcoder user might tell you to use a cryptic abbreviation that helps you remember a variable's purpose but clues little to the outside reader, since Topcoder users are penalized for allowing others to find their bugs. When implementing an algorithm, Carmack or Torvalds would code it as part of an extensible system with an API so that it can be used for many purposes. The Topcoder user might code it with no potential for reuse, but would do it in the way easiest to code quickly without making a mistake.

Very cool. However, I don't particularly like the fact that I need to add a class to each applicable container.

Maybe a configuration file that allows for selection of specific classes/ids instead?
What has never been clear to me about Lisp is how these implementations differ. The syntax is so simple it doesn't seem to be that, so that would leave builtins and libraries. Surely builtins can be emulated and libraries can be ported.

So why doesn't there exist some macro (Lispers always brag about them) that could transmogrify code written for one set of builtins and libraries to another?
On a side note, you can now change the class name to whatever you want (thanks Luke Holder via github).

I think dev tools, as a microcosm of human tools in general, are fascinating. I think if you zoom out a bit, it's clear the tools have plateau'd in their complexity and power -- that's not to say they aren't advanced or fucking awesome. But the pace of things seems to have slowed.

Like you noted, a lot of the complexity comes from how the tools work together. There's version control, editing, code intelligence, test suites and test runners, different sorts of environments, and more. And every possible permutation and nuanced setup depending on the runtime you're using and depending on how opinionated and/or fickle the community is around whichever language you're using.

Meta-problems of this kind are seldom discussed directly and are difficult to improve upon. I suspect things will get better slowly, and problems we have now will seem trivial and quaint in the future.

EDIT: What heroku has done for the production environment, I want for the development environment.
Probably not the answer you're looking for but I work best in silence (or rather, the sound of tapping keyboards). I know others strongly prefer music but I zone out anyway so eventually I don't even hear music (or am cognitively aware of it rather). I like the computer lab scenario where its just a bunch of background tapping keyboards at most.

Good point.

While there are some situations where that makes more sense, doing that for things like paragraphs is kind of silly - you're just moving junk copy to your CSS. You either have a giant CSS file, or some rather repetitive paragraphs.

This is outdated information. The NSEC record did confirm the nonexistence of DNS names. It also confirmed the identity of every record in your zone; in other words, it allowed anyone in the world to dump your whole zone.

The namedroppers working group eventually conceded that, no, it wasn't OK to disclose every domain name signed under DNSSEC; that, for instance, virtually every large enterprise in the world had made a practice of setting up dual-facing DNS so that the world only saw a preapproved subset of their name.

And so we got the NSEC3 protocol, which uses a hashing scheme similar to Unix password files. So now, instead of directly dumping domains, attackers get to crack them. Daniel J. Bernstein has a couple presentations about how easy this is.

DNSSEC is a bit of a debacle.
No, the difference is that in the days of yore, Microsoft wasn't the market maker for your applications. Now, with the Apple App Store(s), you are being put before a large potential customer base. Considering how easy it is to pirate applications on the Android platform and how many apps are pirated, the Apple way is the most pragmatic for software developers who want to get paid for their work.

It isn't all that different than what you see elsewhere in the economy. Now that there are just a few large corporations who effectively control the food supply, they increasingly get a larger share of the profits at the expense of the many supplying farms.

If there were 10 different Apple App Stores you could sell your applications through that were all of equal quality, then the cut Apple requires would drop off significantly.
This feels like a reach to prove superiority and save face. Surprised Dan approved it.

Can someone explain why Microsoft would go to such length obfuscating the Skype code and taking down derivative work?

Is their IP worth the trouble? Do they see interoperability as a threat? Are they afraid of misbehaving clients?

Surely it's not just a case of a lawyer having too much time on his hands.

If you don't want to be compatible with Skype, you don't need their codecs. There are plenty of good voice codecs around, freely licensable.

The issue is how to tap into the existing Skype userbase -- receive and make calls to Skype clients -- from an open-source client.

Well then you set your range to repeat fairly often. The issue at hand is repetition of paragraphs that start with "Lorem ipsum". All you have to do is break the repetition enough for the eye to be fooled.

And in regards to CSS, I'd argue it's probably even smaller to include fixie.css than fixie.js, and it would be non-blocking.
It does indeed seem that way, unfortunately. Is too optimistic to think a better standard might emerge?
Thought this might be something like http://jsfiddle.net/MNFV8/1/ but I like the addition of the paragraph generators too.
don't know. But the smart folk behind should be able to figure something out.
1. Looks like the site is down, I got a 404 error.

2. If its on Github (on a public repo), why are you upset? Apart from them using your analytics code, that seems to be a given that you're letting the code be available to others for use.

3. I agree with adding a license if you haven't already as someone else suggested.

4. At the end of the day, clones happen (even if the code was taken from you). It sucks but best thing to do is to keep moving forward.

Just auto-filling all <p>'s and <h_>'s might be an interesting option. You could also have the API allow you to list tag names to be auto-filled. It can even be smart and first check whether the tag in question already contains text content, and if it doesn't, only then auto-fill it.
What's crazy is that kids today won't have music passed down to them per this trend. The license to your iTunes music collection ends with your life as per the Apple ToS (seriously).

I don't want to buy licenses. Can we please buy things that are real (like bits, real).

I dislike using lorem ipsum or other non-sensical text for mockups, but I admit that it fills a very real need for designing content-centric websites when the content isn't ready yet.

I've encountered just too many cases where the design looks great as a mock-up but when you start plugging in real data the layout start breaking apart, either because the content is too short, too long, or the designer didn't consider long usernames.

My dream for a filler content generator would be a large database of real content types, so you would have a list of real twitter handles, facebook names, blog post titles, world news articles and so on. You could then do stuff like h1 class="fixie worldnews title" or class="fixie twitter username".

Designers often argue that the purpose of Lorem Ipsum is to help the client focus on the look and not the content. I think this posture is wrong because you need the client thinking about content as early as posible.

Front-end developers also need the randomness of real world data to test the sturdiness of their layouts and account for edge cases as early as posible.

It’s a good question.

It is best practice to have well-thought-out URLs that do not have extensions. The reasons include:

- If your site’s back-end technology changes, all those URLs will either break, or need redirected, or be specially handled with have extra cruft forever.

- It takes longer to type and is harder to remember.

- It makes your technology obvious instead of receding into the background.

- It limits your ability to make awesome URLs, because now your URLs are dictated by how you name and organize your server-side scripts. (URLs are a user interface, just like GUIs, though they don’t get as much attention! http://alanhogan.com/url-as-ui)

- There is no benefit to outweigh the above negatives.
Perhaps, but that doesn’t make it the right choice.
I totally had this idea 1 month ago. I was trying to get myself excited enough to go through with the implementation. And here it is...! A bittersweet moment indeed. :)

I'm going to keep this on for a while. My inlaws are visiting from abroad, so I need all the help I can get.
Agreed, lorem ipsum can become a crutch - good copy is integral for good design. That said, this script will give you random length paragraphs, articles, and what not, giving you some room to test your layout, and makes it easy to throw in temporary content until you've written something yourself.
Space law: Is asteroid mining legal?
I considered doing that, but the problem is that I've noticed that some people use <p> tags as breaks between paragraphs. Requiring a class makes sure that the developer/designer knows where their filler content is going.
I hate to pull the "you must work on trivial projects" card, but really, this article points out one very solid reason to use a CSS pre-processor. If you've never felt the pain of managing the colors, with gradients and everything else, I'm not convinced you've worked on a decent-sized project--that or you love project search/replace.

Try out the SCSS syntax (or LESS), might warm you up to it a bit more.
No surprise. Their official story is that it was an error.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb made the point in a recent antifragility lecture that if a technology is robust enough to have survived X years and is still in use, it almost assuredly will be around X years from now. By that metric, use of printed books has a minimum of 500 years of life remaining, if not more (depending on your definition of the underlying technology of books). In contrast, look at the fragility of the systems that sustain ebooks, starting with the computing hardware supply chain.

An interesting thought experiment is to think of what it would take for ebooks to become as robust or as antifragile as physical books. For instance, would it require the hardware, power supply, and content to fuse into a form as cheap and ubiquitous as paper (and manufacturing of such hardware within the realm of anyone)? What could enable that? A breakthrough in self-replicating 3D printers that are capable of using recyclable material as printer stock?
No link available, but if you like Gareth Emery, you should really look into Protoculture. He features quite often on Armin's ASOT sets :)

If you want to stay within the law my understanding is that you need to distribute patches against decompiled Skype rather than decompiled Skype with patches applied, otherwise you're distributing a derivative work. This may still be a legal grey area though. IANAL, you ANAL, we all ANAL and that.
