Building responsively is an investment for the future. You can bet good money that there will be more and more diversity of screen sizes as we keep going.

I'd be interested to learn more about their design and implementation workflow, that they mention RWD taking 'almost twice as long'. How much time are they wasting building static comps that illustrate a picture of what some people will see when they come to their website? This is speculation - I don't know how much live prototyping they do in their design process.

I'll have to mention Edit Room again, my web design tool that makes creating responsive, multi-screen web layouts as easy as dragging things around on-screen. If you start your design work in the browser, you save so much time that lets you go that extra 10% on a design. That gives you the time you need to make your designs work everywhere.

http://www.edit-room.com
I would argue that just because those fixed-width sites you mention aren't currently responsive doesn't mean that they never will be, or aren't currently in the process or being developed. It is certainly no trivial task to develop a responsive version of a site like eBay.

Even though RWD is a relatively new concept for a lot of people, I think we are past the "It's a fad!" phase (despite the small amount of middlebrow dismissal/stubbornness that is still evident), and I think it's encouraging that there are a lot of major companies embracing the approach. I made a quick list off the top of my head below.

"Nobody cares if it can't be used for offline transactions if it can be used to circumvent the gambling regulations."

In other words, the future of Bitcoin is in the black market. Which means that the police are just going to look for people who are engaged in Bitcoin transactions, and particularly those engaging in large volume transactions, and they will just happen to be patrolling in that person's neighborhood.

"Are these other systems used anywhere?"

The timing was bad; David Chaum tried to create a company that facilitated digital cash in the 90s, but faced so much trouble and so much resistance by the US government (which at the time was actively thwarting cryptography deployment on the Internet) that his company ultimately went bankrupt. There is nothing stopping a digital cash revival if you want to start it up again -- smartphones could add something interesting to that mix, like phone-to-phone payments (and unlike Bitcoin, you could do this in a way that does not require either phone to have Internet service -- so people could transfer money in New York City's subways, for example).
I couldn't agree more. But what I gather from the article is that they actually went back and started over and eschewed the design they already had...

As a non-customer of theirs, I'm speaking from an impressions point of view. Any new service I look at I am weighing my decision to dig further based on the presentation of their product. Having it be too "markety" is just as bad as having an e-brochure that looks 10 years old.

There is balance in everything.
Thanks! I've never played minecraft, I was just wondering if maybe the distinction is between sandbox and simulation? I'm probably getting the terms wrong but the games do seem very different in their goals and how they engage the player.

I'm always wary of claims of "reverse discrimination" but I honestly can't think of a reason that, all else being equal (important caveat), that a PhD program would pick an American over a foreign student. Seems like the foreigner would be more motivated, more likely to do whatever the advisor asks with no complaints, less likely to complain about the poor working conditions and pay of a grad student, and much less likely to say "screw this" and go to work for anybody.com (an option not available for the non-green-card-holding foreigner).

Speaking english is a certainly a plus, but it seems outweighed by all the other benefits to the advisors that a foreign student brings.

(Full disclosure: I'm an American who's going to apply next year to PhD programs.)

> If I were to estimate, this probably doubled efficacy of our junior devs while halving the (direct) productivity of senior folks. In my cases, it was immediately apparent that we came out ahead: the former outnumbered the latter by several times.

I really like this. I consider myself an intermediate developer, and can't even count the times a 5-10 minute conversation would have saved me an entire day - or week! - of wasted effort. I think this is easily overlooked because its not totally obvious that interrupting a highly productive, highly skilled developer could result in higher team productivity.

There is another explanation than the one given for seeing examples like this in someone else's code:

// Indications of Confusion
$( ".widget" ).each( function() {
$( this ).css( "color", "green" );
});

I think this is at least as likely to be the remains of a block of code that was pared down and not (yet) re-implemented differently. The developer might have intended to return with replacement code and never did, perhaps this is an ongoing project on which you're a collaborator, perhaps the developer just forgot about it. It may still be bad code, but concluding wherever you find it that the reason is fundamental ignorance seems hasty.

It will always be a struggle for me to resist the bias against Other People's Code that causes me to underestimate the developer whenever I encounter something wrong. Maybe it's a minor point, but I think this bias exists in everyone and that this is an example of it.
I haven't used Racket, though it looks cool. Since you are conversant in a few languages, I'd like to pick your brain if I can:

What do you think Racket could do to improve (particularly 5)?

And what could other languages learn from Racket's module system?
1. Jekyll isn't a CMS per se. (I know this is a nitpicky thing)
2. GH-Pages actually performs a ton of server-side optimizations.

I use it, and my site currently scores 95 on YSlow.
You can't use .htaccess on GH-Pages, yet, this is what they do for you: http://d.pr/i/81zP Note that the grade E in that is my fault. I have a favicon URI, but I never uploaded a favicon. Everything else is optimized automatically.
I do, and yes, every boy I know loves to play Minecraft. I'm sure there'll be a next thing, but it's really cool to see them get so much enjoyment out of an awesome game.

It's not really "over HTTP", it's just an HTTP handshake:

only relationship to HTTP is that its handshake is interpreted by
HTTP servers as an Upgrade request.

This is absolutely awesome.

Hopefully Nokia's involvement will result in the development of much more industrialized and efficient methods for making graphene/graphene oxide and cheaply layer it without using expensive lithography methods. Hopefully they will actually publish their methods instead of just patenting them.

Moreover, graphene may be cutting edge but it's incredible how accessible it is to citizen scientists. There is so much to explore and it's been less than a decade since graphene was first made. Full blown vapor deposition may be out of reach but there are plenty of chemical only methods or methods that require low vacuum (basically a bell jar vacuum) or high pressures/temperatures achievable without a lab. It was, after all, first produced with scotch tape.

It's very stable for me on Win7, I've had very few issues and none that I'd consider a show-stopper. I also don't think the game would have reached such large revenues if it was as bad as you suggest.

Rather, I think you may instead be highlighting the problems of producing a cross-platform game -- especially when the given target OS has a something like a 1% desktop market share.

It's also a fallacy to suggest that more money == immediately better development, such as illustrated in 'The Mythical Man-Month'. The revenues should indeed help them to build better teams and processes, but one can't realistically expect that to happen overnight.
Why not take the approach of monitoring it instead and triggering alarms based off specific traffic..? So if you use too much foo vs HTTP, trigger an alert. This is one of the things we use Boundary for.
That's what we're doing at PatientsKnowBest.com -- patient-centered medical records where the patient can decide who can see their records, and revoke access if they want. No one can revoke the patient's access.

Putting the patient at the helm has a few wonderful effects -- among them: all of the red tape around transferring patient medical records from one doctor/institution to another pretty much disappears. They're all about making sure the patient's private data doesn't go to someone the patient wouldn't want to see it. The only reason they need all of those laws is because the patient isn't even in the loop, normally.

We have the core webapp UI; we also have a REST/JSON API for letting apps (and third parties) work with the patient's data (if given permission, of course).

It's a really interesting space to be in. (I'm sure reading the about raises lots of "but what about when" questions; we have answers ...mostly!)

Edit: I should have said: that's what we're doing w/ medical records (not with financial data)

Z-prototype is a small iOS and Web development shop in the Midwest that specializes in apps that integrate into web services. Just some of the work we've done this last month includes a group photo-sharing application, an app that integrates with various APIs for making donations to charities, and a web application for certification accreditation for a niche industry. We specialize in white-label work for other agencies, but we also accept direct clients who are looking for wholesale app development rates for larger projects.

Email me at jon@z-prototype.com and we can go over your idea for free, no strings attached. Unlike others we don't charge for or set a time limit on meetings - meetings are always free, because we want to build you the product you want. You pay only for time spent coding.

I suggest checking the release notes before assuming this. Most of what's been going on with minecraft over the past several releases has been targeted at addressing gameplay issues and bug fixes[1][2].

Don't get me wrong, I'm not willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater, but if I have a to-do of 20 some web services I'm reviewing to find the right competitors to pit against one another, I do judge a book by its cover in some respects.

If I was shooting from the hip, my immediate thought about a website I can't get to the sign up button in a basic setup has issues with their team doing proper testing, a possible inattention to detail, and more growth required in their product and processes until they have a fully-fleshed out and mature product.

I'm not saying that's the case; I'm saying that's what my impression would be with no other research.
Yes, the computing resources are required to secure the block chain. How much? The network needs to have at least twice the computing power of an attacker to prevent that attacker from taking over the block chain.

Although there are some ideas about how to reduce the amount of computing the network needs to prevent an attacker from forking the block chain: http://gavintech.blogspot.com.ar/2012/05/neutralizing-51-att...

Another social advantage of bitcoin is that you can make transactions without being at the mercy of a payment processor. Wikileaks vs. visa and mastercard, for example.

* I want to do EXACTLY this form of marketing, and it's cheaper at $100 to buy it than build it, so +1.

* This is not my core competency, so another +1 to letting me focus on building what I want vs need.

* Finally, from an initial read it looks like you know what you're doing, and just the landing pages have enough tips/hints that I bookmarked them for reference whether I use ConvertKit or not. +1 again, and time to bust out the credit card.
> Professionals frequently invest multiple thousands in a monitor that will last a long time - they aren't interested in throwing it out every time they need to upgrade the CPU.

Definitely agreed with that -- the iMac screen certainly isn't suitable for a lot of pros, but it ultimately depends on what you're doing and what your budget is. The iMac screens are still much better than a lot of what's out there, and price-wise is actually a good deal when you consider how much just the monitor would cost separately. I actually thought they used the same panels as the Dell UltraSharps? but I must be mistaken about that.

Edit: from The Verge's review

"...on the 27-inch behemoth, you get a 2560 x 1440 panel that's matched only by the Dell XPS 27."

"The IPS panels are the same as in last year’s iMacs, but they’re better integrated now — Apple says that by laminating the display to the glass it reduced reflections up to 70 percent, and indeed the glare problems that beset so many displays are much less present here, though there's still some reflection and glare. The improved manufacturing also makes whatever’s on the screen feel closer to you, almost like things are jumping out of the panel. The display's glossy bezel, which houses its HD FaceTime camera, is actually the most reflective part of the whole machine now.

I have to say, I was really surprised to see how much better the screen could be without a single change to the actual technology — but hey, I guess plastic surgery can work wonders. Both screens have fantastic color reproduction, are remarkably (like, blindingly) bright, and have near-180-degree viewing angles."

Is it re-looping? Doesn't the .css setter return a jQuery object that is used by the next method in the chain? So it's actually only going through an implicit loop of $( ".widget" ) once?

Definitely, if you want a 13" screen, the Surface is a poor substitute. But by the same token, if you want a 15" screen, a 13" Ultrabook is a poor substitute. It's a tradeoff between portability and screen size. If you're willing to go down to the low-end of screen size for sake of portability, the Surface Pro looks very competitive with 11" ultrabooks. If you're not willing to go to that screen size, then the Surface Pro isn't really an option.

Factual is currently hiring engineers and data lovers of all levels in Palo Alto, Los Angeles, and Shanghai.
Remote work is possible for exceptional candidates who are US citizens and living in the US ('exceptional' meaning you are a great engineer and have lots of machine learning/data extraction/NLP/etc. experience that is relevant to what we do).

Factual's vision is to be an awesome and affordable data provider that enables developers, startups, and big companies to focus on innovation instead of data acquisition. We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz and our partners/customers include Facebook, Yelp, Foursquare, Trulia, and Newsweek.

There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure, machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop. Our LA office is our headquarters and our new Palo Alto office is still small, so new hires would have a huge impact on the culture there.

You can email me personally at jake@factual.com, or view our job postings and apply directly via Jobvite:

Our monthly Python meetings in Gothenburg are almost always in English. In part because it was founded by two native English speakers, in part because there are other non-Swedish speakers who come, in part because many of the software courses are in English, and in part because almost all of the literature and documentation is in English.

And of course, in large part because this is effectively a bilingual country. In the years I've been here, I've only talked with a handful of native-born Swedes who did not speak English. Those were older people who had learned German as a student. (There are non-native-born Swedes, like immigrants from Chile who speak fluent Spanish and Swedish, whose English can be poor.)

So yes, it would be easy.
Me neither, never heard of Answers before!
Not quite. "Iceland's households also racked up debts amounting to 213% of disposable income. Britons and Americans owed just 169% and 140% of disposable income respectively—figures that make them seem almost sober by comparison. "

http://www.economist.com/node/12382011?story_id=12382011

So while there were many factors involved in why these banks failed, the citizens of Iceland played a key role.
If he enjoys redstone, you should also try out the ComputerCraft mod [1]. It's a full lua environment inside minecraft and you can write programs to output redstone signals to things like doors. The most interesting thing is the ability to program "turtles" -- programmable robots capable of mining/crafting for you.

Videos are probably the easiest way to see the possibilities of the mod.
