We talked about this in a CPR class once. The biggest reason paramedics don't run is to avoid injury, which would obviously impede their ability to help.

This looks beautiful. But I'm curious, do users no longer expect/like their platform's native dialogs for these things?
Re:OOCSS + Sass = The best way to CSS
on Tuesday October 16, 2012 @04:22PM (#4661640)
This is the key that I missed when I first read the article. Mixins will always be repeated when compiled. Placeholders result in combined selectors so the styles aren't repeated in the compiled CSS.
In many ways, it seems like placeholders would almost always be preferred to mixins. Though, I'm sure there are exceptions.

I have a Brother Laser that did the same thing... however, it has a setting in it's web admin called "Replace Toner" with the options of Continue or Stop. All I had to do was select "Continue" and it kept printing until the toner was actually gone. No cartridge modification required!

I think that TM probably made a big mistake by offering a free upgrade to 2.0. Especially given the apparent ambition of the rewrite.
Assuming it has some nice new stuff, I, for one, would gladly fork over more money for a 2.0 release.

The infinite scroll example he linked to in the presentation is very nice. Putting the max_id in the URL is a great way to save the state.

This looks great. It's awesome that we can make sites like this that theoretically allow us to serve the same pages to desktop and mobile browsers. I'm curious though, is there any significant overhead to having mobile clients parse 1600+ lines of HTML, or is that a non-issue these days? Anyone have any data points on this?

Re:Symfony 2.0 is now available
on Thursday July 28, 2011 @10:37AM (#2816949)
I hear these sorts of things regarding hosting all of the time. However, in my experience, if you are working on an app that is large enough to warrant using a framework like Symfony or Zend Framework, you are probably going to also be using your own server. People don't build large expensive applications and then deploy to GoDaddy or something :)
Re:PHP Short Syntax for Arrays: developers say no.

You can create an object that implements the ArrayAccess interface, but it doesn't extend the native array object in the traditional sense.

Re:CAPTCHAs decrease conversion rates

I have traditionally used honeypot fields in this manner. Recently, however, I have noticed some false positives because of autofill features in browsers (especially Chrome). To work around this, I would add to the above that it may be useful to remove the field with the submit event on the form and then test for it's presence on the backend. Alternatively, just use the timestamp approach.

Re:A Built-in Web Server For PHP
on Wednesday March 02, 2011 @07:18PM (#2282092)
It isn't too hard for someone who is already familiar Apache. On OS X, mod_php is not enabled by default, requiring new users to dig in and learn about apache config files and document roots. I'm not saying it is difficult, and it is obviously important to learn, but it would be nice to be able to have a 1 page "get started with PHP" tutorial.
Re:A Built-in Web Server For PHP
on Wednesday March 02, 2011 @06:34PM (#2281939)
Seems like the built in server would be most useful for newbies to get an application running. Think if how much easier it is to get a basic Rails app running to start learning compared to configuring Apache and PHP together.

Re:Ask HN: Any OSS for face recognition and/or analysis of a photo?
on Monday January 31, 2011 @02:06PM (#2162718)
There is also OpenCV http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki, which I believe has several wrapper libraries that add higher level functionality. PHP, for one, has a face detection library: http://www.xarg.org/project/php-facedetect
