As a designer, I've never "implemented" in Photoshop. Ever. Illustrator, yes (a long time ago), but there's nothin' like coding your own design.

In fact, I design entirely with HTML/CSS (using the Live CSS Editor feature of the Web Developer add-on for FireFox) and use Illustrator to mix and pick colors.

I can see this as a great product for designers who would like to code, but don't have the time to learn. Now they can take this instant output and simply tweak it, which is a lot simpler than to learn from scratch. Great job guys!

I'm curious as to why you think that suicides would not be affected by gun restrictions. Most suicides are not people who are bound and determined to kill themselves by any means possible. Rather, most suicidal people are extremely troubled in general and may change their mind quickly. Making it more difficult for them to get ahold of the tools with which to end their lives could make a substantial difference.

As for the rest, you're absolutely right that it comes down to a potential net gain in lives saved versus lives lost. I think that it would be a net gain, simply because guns in private hands aren't saving a whole lot of lives. The potential downside is relatively low. The impact may not be large, but it does seem to me to be almost certain to be positive, so why not?

I think there is merit to the idea that a heavily armed society would deter crime. But you'd need gun ownership to be far more pervasive than it is now for it to work, I think. The chances of a criminal running into a private citizen with a loaded gun are pretty low. If nearly everyone had one, that would be different, but I don't think we're anywhere close. From where we are right now, reducing gun ownership seems to be a more productive and realistic direction.
Just need to give them guns now.

First off– let me say that the paid side of the App Store is not where the real money is being made.

This is why I think the whole app economy is a house built on sand. How long are people going to be entertained by this gimmick of junk IAP?

Sure there are a handful of apps where some kind of recurring IAP actually makes sense. But the vast majority of these apps are selling virtual Tchotchkes with absolutely zero real value. Sooner or later this seems bound to lose its novelty.

More and more it seems that the only smart way to make money writing code is selling SAAS B2B apps.

I've just seen that some of the technique/some of your questions are answered after sign up! I'll c/c here for your convenience (without the explainations and examples available on sign up)

Five tips given on the website to get good results (I have not tested myself) :

- Break your page into smaller pieces (header = 1 .psd, same for body, footer, sidebar, etc)

- Use one text layer for each logical piece of text

- Each icon or image should be a single layer or a smart object

- Want CSS buttons? Use shapes; not images.

[edit] I know there's only four. Fifth being avoid any hacks, it's probably not understandable by someone not really very familiar with Photoshop. Or I just couldn't figure out what photoshop-design-hacks are used by actual webdesigners.
I believe I understand fairly well the original point and intent of the second amendment. I just don't think that original point and intent are useful anymore. In the 18th century, organized private citizens could defeat world powers in open battle, properly organized (and with the world power properly distracted elsewhere). That's no longer the case today, by a wide margin. There will be no repeat of the American Revolution. The success of any attempt to resist the US government by force will basically come down to whether they can get enough of the US military on their side, or at least prevent the military from acting. A population carrying handguns and hunting rifles won't, as far as I can see, make any difference one way or another to this.

If an armed revolt does break out, it's going to need a lot of illegal weapons and support from a lot of military units who have switched sides, regardless of whether the second amendment is in place or not.

So, yeah. The App Store is really mostly a game store. And a free game store at that.

And this is why I've lost a lot of my enthusiasm for mobile coding.

After a decade of writing web apps I've enjoyed getting close to the machine again and having the tools to write really powerful multimedia apps but the reality of the app store is that what sells are gimmicky doodads and the kind of games that you used to find on flash game sites.

Laugh if you like; but the stuff used in stationary plants isn't full of an unpredictable cocktail of dissolved minerals and hydrocarbons.

Truthfully I am not across the detail of the problems with deep boreholes.

I am however across the fact that it hasn't worked yet. And we're talking stuff that Very Intelligent People With A Lot Of Funding have been working on for quite a while at this point. And they don't even have a working proof-of-concept plant working yet.

Deep borehole geothermal sounds great on paper, but the engineering challenges are enormous and yet to be surmounted. By comparison oil, gas and especially coal are absolute doddles with work with.

Opposite problem. TextMate made Alan Odgaard so much money that he didn't need to work on it anymore[1].

Thanks for the Gregory Brown tip. :^)
I totally agree with the sentiment in the blog post. As someone who has built and now compulsively checks a real time dashboard however, I'll enumerate one case where I've found real time really valuable.

I'm the product owner of a social game, and we are blessed with:

1) high traffic

2) tools that make it easy to test sales, promotions, contests in real time

3) a team that is capable of doing multiple meaningful releases a week reliably

The result of this is that we end up making meaningful changes to our product on a daily basis. With our high traffic, I can reliably tell you within one hour (on the outside) whether a promotion, contest or feature is having its intended impact, especially once I:

1) Benchmark against recent averages (and take into account the volatility in the metric I'm measuring... everything is framed as how many standard deviations above or below recent averages)

2) Compare against recent trends.

3) Compare against my expectations/hypothesis. After a couple years of looking at realtime KPIs move in response to changes, I've gotten pretty good at forecasting results.

Obviously, I also look at metrics at a daily level and track weekly cohorted metrics out for months to make sure strategically we're maximizing for a global maxima and not a local one. But there are a lot of pretty realtime businesses where tactics are extremely important that could really benefit from realtime dashboards.
Perception Wins Today
You're right that a bunch of divs like this is non-semantic. Anyone who thinks otherwise is crazy.

As far as the classes goes though, I would recommend that you check out a style like OOCSS or SMACSS (which I prefer) and give it a shot on a project. I style almost everything with classes currently, and I've found it much easier to maintain and extend than the style that you're describing.

It's a personal choice obviously, but I think you should definitely give it a shot and see what you think.

"In which monitoring agents rely upon correct, truthful, answers about cluster state from the system they're monitoring"

Sorry I'm unable to read your mind. I thought that maybe we could both state our positions and then discuss them, rather than me stating my position in more and more detail until at some point you are finally satisfied and find me worthy of being graced with your learned opinions.

Please consider the possibility that questions are not nearly as obvious when outside your head. I really don't know how I'm supposed to pick your own personal objections out of the roughly ten billion potential objections to what I've said. Your questions may be "obvious" in some sense of the word, but I don't know that they're any more obvious than the innumerable others that are out there.

To respond to your supposedly obvious questions: no, I really can't imagine gun rights protecting against government abuses, not today. At any sign of armed resistance, the government will bring increasing force to bear until they subdue you. If you survive the event, you may be vindicated later, but at no point does being armed help you. As for non-government abuses, there may be some utility there, but if you're having to carry firearms to protect yourself from your fellow citizens, I believe that's a more fundamental breakdown in society and government, and being able to carry guns is just a minor patch on the symptoms. Better to address the root cause through better policing.
When doing hiring I want to see evidence that you are a web developer. Acronym soups on a resume are irrelevant by themselves since everyone does that. Quite simply you need to have a portfolio that substantiates your list of acronyms. You can bet I will do a view source and view network traffic on it.

What is important to me is also that developers communicate well. In an interview I put them in front of the whiteboard to explain something they claim to know well from their resume, looking at the communication.

You could do that sort of thing in advance by writing a series of blog postings, for example showing how you came up with the top level design and implemented one of your portfolio items.

Attention to detail also matters and is a strong signalling mechanism. For example your text above has a spelling error that is picked up in Firefox and Chrome.

Black Americans are 2 to 3 times more likely to live below the poverty line than white Americans, and the median white household makes about 1.5 times more money than the median black household.

But black Americans are about 8 times more likely to commit a violent crime, and about 6 times more likely to be the victim of a violent crime.

I've seen some statistics that show at least a portion could be accounted for by controlling for the increased percentage of black single mothers.
If gun-owning citizens get aggravated enough at a tyrannical government, they can start an asymmetric war. How did that go for the British? How is it going for the U.S. military in the middle east?

Keep in mind that both of those scenarios were or are environments where the rebel forces and the citizenry they belong to do have the same level of constitutional protections that U.S. citizens do.

The only way to win against rebels armed with firearms is if they are not motivated enough to take up arms, or if the government takes off the kid gloves and engages in war with little or no regard for collateral damage. Neutral citizens rapidly turn against the government in that scenario.
Journalism is an interesting parallel, its further along the transformation path. When I was at Google I was really excited about being able to build a better newspaper with e-readers. I did a lot of research on that topic and talked with a number of different folks. As it turned out, if you threw out the printing presses, the delivery trucks, the newsprint, the facilities that held the printers, the people that maintained the printers, and all of the recurring costs like ink, maintenance, and pest control, and charged the same amount to advertise you would have a fabulously profitable business for the same subscriber base. But here is the rub, you don't have the same number of subscribers (the advertisers pay by subscriber) and trying to negotiate print prices for what someone perceives as a web site, doesn't go very far.

Now that isn't really a problem because all things being equal you can be fantastically profitable at lower ad rates if you keep the subscriber base. But you need the subscribers. And for that you need people that have e-readers. The publisher of the NYTimes pointed out they could be wildly successful if they gave all of their subscribers an e-reader for free and took away the paper copy. Not everyone was willing to go there.

So you've got an industry in transition. I expect the Economist to be the first 'old world' journalism outfit to flip its profitability from the print publication to the digital one (they are furthest along the curve), but the Wall Street Journal has some great trending numbers as well.

Truth be told, people still read the news. And the folks who appreciate good news, are willing to pay for it, and if they are willing to pay for it they are pretty good folks for advertisers to have their ads in front of. But its all about stepping across that chasm of print to e-print.

The 'app' market was hugely disruptive because it kicked a huge chunk of infrastructure to the curb. That chunk added no value to the product they just did distribution and duplication. So you can sell a product for less than you would have if they were taking their cut, and still make money. Except Apple bends you over for 30%. Once the opportunities open up that price will fall, its not supported by actual costs (meaning others can get under it and still make a fair profit). But there are other pieces in the puzzle that have yet to fall out (like the horrible platform diversity on Android). The key though is that people continue to want to 'own' software and largely resist 'tax' type features. So as the business models flourish and die we will get to the place where things stabilize.
My takeaways from this article:

If you can't make it with a team of 3 or fewer, you're not going to have a sustainable business.

The community needs an "App Escrow" organization which developers can sign copyrights to their software over to. In the event of a "acquhire," the app developers won't be able to kill their app. In essence, the app developers who sign up for this "escrow" have made a precommitment to not killing their app. (Perhaps the app the software can be licensed to a new development team for a fee commensurate with the app's earnings history. Perhaps it could also be open sourced.)

> More money spent on technicians = more money paid by consumers

Entirely wrong. This story is littered with false economies. E.g.: Rather than giving him good tools, they wasted the technician's time. And another technician's time. And more later, to get the helpful tech back his tool. And let's not forget that the whole error was caused by a poorly trained tech who ruined the tool. And that's before we get to the large amount of customer time wasted.

Of course, when you're a vastly profitable monopoly, who gives a fuck? There's little reward for internal efficiency, and there's definitely no reward for caring about the customer's time.

And yes, it's a monopoly. Per the GAO, only 4% of cable marketplaces in the US have effective competition:

> divs are as semantic as you want them to be.

Then they are not semantic at all.

<div class="content">, <div class="post-title">, <div class="meta-data"> all have semantic CSS class names. But they are not semantic HTML names. Remove the CSS, and all you have is <div>, <div>, and <div>. This makes it difficult for screen readers (and web surfers who don't use CSS (are these people even real?)) to understand what the page is saying.

However <article>, <header>, and <aside> all have semantic meaning that can be discerned whether or not CSS is used.

Also: Whether or not something validates is not a good indicator of it being "semantic".
Agreed. We haven't worked on optimizing the no. of css rules yet. This is an early working prototype.

It's hard to imagine a film the quality of Toy Story being made for fun, but I frankly find it just as hard to imagine a world powered completely by open source software, from the OS on our computer through the network stack, to the databases, web servers, and programming languages that run them all. Yet we live in that world, and the closed-source software that you assert is the only way to make a profit is somehow being written as a thin layer of film atop an ocean of free, open source software.

I'm not sure how it has escaped the world's attention that you didn't approve these thousands of man-years of work, but it's clearly an oversight that must be corrected immediately. Let's have you tell everyone it doesn't make sense and get this communist nonsense shut down immediately—it's not philosophically viable!

I remember years ago when I had the revelation I was wasting time designing so much of the site in photoshop and that I could design much more usable and "organic" sites in HTML. I became adamantly HTML/CSS-first, using photoshop only for graphics.

These days I tend to do more of a mix, I like the expressive freedom of photoshop and the rigid grid structures and typography of HTML.

But I almost always start in photoshop after mocking. Probably from habit.
Do you have the any evidence that cable monopolies have been dramatically weakened? E.g., dropping prices, reduced ability to pressure vendors?

I think we might get there one day, but I suspect they're barely noticing it right now.
Why is this downvoted? While the tone (especially of the first para) could be improved, the author has a point. It is hard to escape the implication that these youngsters who "must have technical talent, but not be total programming geeks" end up with far more power in the organization than hard core engineers with similar experience ever could. I am not saying that's the way it works at Google, but that is the impression the article gives.

(If the article is true) It looks like the best way to get promoted at Google is to be "not too geeky" and join the APM program than join as an engineer with the same level of experience, where the chances are you'll get assigned to some creaking legacy code bug fixing with not much chance of creating an impact on the organization. Middle Management vs Engineering as the fast track career path in large companies. Not much of a contest.
