I miss when it was a personal website, not a blog, and there were no expectations for what that

meant. I miss the open space before it all became social media. I miss long articles without

bullets and not optimized for anything but interesting reading.

13 Ways To Pull Off A Killer Demo Day Presentation

by oseres
You should not have the audience focused on your slides, but your words during the presentation. Bullets are an absolute no-no throughout the presentation. My presentation had one sentence at most per slide with an accent color highlighting what was a really important word for the audience to understand. The slides should set the tone for what you are currently talking about to keep everyone on track. Stay away from transitions or overly flashy slides.

20 Things I Learned About Browsers and the Web

by gregg (via)
L’équipe de Google Chrome tente, après Micorosft (comme ici avec Never Mind the Bullets), de convaincre les developpeurs d’adopter les fonctions avancées de l’HTML5. Mais il va, selon moi, bien au delà, car il tente ici de faire bouger les lignes au niveau des utilisateurs eux-mêmes, en les convaincant d’installer des navigateurs modernes et d’abandonner les technologies obsolètes.

iPad apps: news and magazines -- Engadget

by sbrothier
Apple's done a pretty good job convincing the old media that the iPad will save their industry, so we've taken our time trying out the launch titles in the App Store -- it's plain to see that different publishers have radically different ideas about how you're supposed to buy and consume their content, and everything from pricing to UI is currently up in the air. But while the apps we've seen so far are definitely intriguing, we haven't seen any silver bullets yet -- and to be perfectly honest, in several cases we wondered why an app was preferable to an iPad-optimized web site, or even (gasp) a paper subscription. Let's run down the launch lineup, shall we?

by karlcow

Being "open source" will protect MySQL. Yeah, right. And I believe I'm Superwoman and can't be hurt by bullets, so just shoot me now.

Meep - KeenWiki

by sylvainulg
They can produce sound in large booms of several decibels. These are usually lethal to anyone hearing them, and can pass through solid materials without diminishing in strength or lethality, making them even more dangerous. These sound waves are so strong they can even stop Keen's bullets.

Jay Fields' Thoughts: Testing: Duplicate Code in Your Tests

by srt
Sadly, DRY has become a philosophy that is dogmatically and blindly applied to every aspect of programming. I'm a big fan of firing silver bullets but if you go that path your number one priority needs to be finding where a solution does not fit. In fact,

Why Silver Bullets Tarnish Over Time - New Paradigms Getting Thrashed in the Field

by wsriley
Why is is that new ways of doing things can have remarkable success when they are at “the discovery stage” and end up being useful but disappointing in the field? The answer is simpler than you think.
