Why The Global System is Killing Trust - Global Guerrillas

by karlcow

Trust is an essential building block of any economic and social system.  Systems that attempt to operate without it inevitably fail.  A loss of trust typically preceeds a collapse in legitimacy.

An Introduction to jQuery for Designers » JavaScript, jQuery » Design Festival

by Monique

But as a designer, I need to know the full range of options — and limitations — I have at my disposal when building a design for a client. jQuery presents some amazing options for design.

WordPress has left the building - KevinjohnGallagher.com

by night.kame, 1 comment

Kev, they released a BETA version that they didn’t even load on Windows. The MENU didn’t work. Not some advanced feature throwing a bug, the fucking MENU didn’t work. I can’t test our themes and software against that. Lets be honest mate, how did it get past their tester and release procedure? Oh, thats right, they dont have a Tester. They just load it on their MacBooks and presume it works for the other 95% of the world. It’s a fucking shambles, and clearly they’ve learnt nothing since the 3.0 fuck-up.

Tout est dit.

Social Media Buttons on Mobile-First Responsive Designs - Themble

by Spone
Social Sharing buttons can be brutal on load time (Facebook I’m looking at you) and with speed being a crucial factor in building a mobile version of your site, it can be a pain to try and maintain all those scripts without slowing down the site in the process. Loading Facebook, Twitter, Google’s +1 button, and other sharing buttons for a mobile site isn’t ideal.

Order Posts by Custom Key revisited

ORDER POSTS BY CUSTOM KEY REVISITED By BRANDON | Published: JANUARY 13, 2009 I’ve gotten quite a few questions about how to get this to work on a specific page, or only within a specific category. I actually had the same issue when building the script originally. The trick is that you can’t just use the conditional tags in the functions page. At that point, it’s already too late because the queries have already been run. You have to create a function and then run it as a filter on one of the early WordPress initializing functions. I chose the wp() function. Here is my revised code (nearly straight from the client’s site).

Tepco Erects Tent Around Blasted Fukushima Daiichi Reactor - Japan Real Time - WSJ

by karlcow

But even before the construction began, there were challenges. There was no detailed plant blueprint, for one. That information was trapped in a computer in the reactor building and inaccessible. The only layout available was one produced 40 years ago, which didn’t include any of the stacks, pipes and buildings added later.

Lessons Learned Building an HTTPS Everywhere Safari Extension Clone - Blogs at Near Infinity

by karlcow

While the documentation does a fair job of describing many of the things you can do with an extension, it doesn't provide as much detail on what you can't do. That's what you'll find below.

Ghetto at the Center of the World: Chungking Mansions, Hong Kong, Mathews

by karlcow

There is nowhere else in the world quite like Chungking Mansions, a dilapidated seventeen-story commercial and residential structure in the heart of Hong Kong’s tourist district. A remarkably motley group of people call the building home; Pakistani phone stall operators, Chinese guesthouse workers, Nepalese heroin addicts, Indonesian sex workers, and traders and asylum seekers from all over Asia and Africa live and work there—even backpacking tourists rent rooms. In short, it is possibly the most globalized spot on the planet.

Lynx would not be impressed – on semantics and HTML | Christian Heilmann

by karlcow & 1 other

Semantics are like wonderful prose. You use them to deliver an enjoyable product. People are not celebrated for writing books. They are celebrated for what they filled them with. If we keep putting things on the web that have structure and get better on more sophisticated display products we are building for the future. If we point fingers at others doing it wrong we waste our time.

Handcrafted WP Starter Theme « Randy Jensen Online

by mozkart
Handcrafted WP is a starter theme built for WordPress developers who are doing more than building blogs. The theme is based on Ian Stewart’s Toolbox Starter theme and Paul Irish & Divya Manian’s HTML5 Boilerplate plus some other awesome features based off our years of experience. This is not a framework, but an almost-naked starter theme that gives you a rock solid starting point for crafting a serious website on the WordPress platform.

The Tower of David - Architecture - Domus

by karlcow

The destiny of Torre Confinanzas was another—to become home to an informal community of 2,500 homeless people who are gradually colonising, and completing, the unfinished 45-storey building.

A face in the crowd: the FSB is watching you! | openDemocracy

by karlcow

The FSB has set new goals: the emphasis is now on identifying individuals and building up a database of high quality video images of Russian citizens. The new CCTV systems will incorporate digital cameras with facilities for ‘intelligent video’, in other words, where the video surveillance system automatically performs an analysis of the captured video and compares it with images held in a database.

This 28-Year-Old Is Making Sure Credit Cards Won't Exist In The Next Few Years

by karlcow, 1 comment

Ultimately we're trying to build the next Visa, not the next PayPal.  We're building a human network based on how we think the future of payments will work. The current model needs to be blown up. 

Inside Pantheon: the Valhalla filesystem | Pantheon

by holyver
At Pantheon, when we look at challenges Drupal projects face, we don't only do what's worked well-enough in existing deployments. We ask ourselves how we can transcend some of the challenges entirely. How Drupal stores files is no exception. So, when we started building the next generation of Pantheon (now launched), we looked at our options -- and then built a solution entirely focused on the needs of Drupal developers.
