Yeah, I wondered if I should add a caveat in there about this. I forewent it because I thought it would confuse people more than anything, and because I've never found this particular concern all that worrisome for the average developer. But maybe it's worth mentioning, in a footnote if nothing else.

Author here. I posted a quick follow-up with some corrections and other items of interest that came out of the discussion: http://technotes.iangreenleaf.com/posts/2013-12-10-the-reddi....

And of course, if you would like more articles written by me and an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio (because I post so rarely...), consider subscribing: http://technotes.iangreenleaf.com. RSS is not dead, dammit.

Yes, that would be a great place to find more like this. CoffeeScript has added support for literate programming, so that might be a good place to go for modern, web-oriented code samples.

For example: this post.

Roughly, yes. I'm just happy to see that there are 3 now, instead of only Amazon.

It depends how you define "the space", of course. Dropbox, GitHub Pages, Heroku, and many more can be used to host static content. But I think this is an accurate list if you want something that is a) dirt cheap at any scale, b) fast and reliable, c) meant for this purpose, d) configurable enough to host a professional website without embarrassing quirks, e) not overly tied to a particular platform configuration.

Looks like they're using CORS. The Access-Control-* response headers control that.

Have you tried neoprene booties? They worked great for me in the midwest. My feet stayed plenty warm, and I didn't even bother to wear thick socks.

The hands were always my biggest problem.

If you don't want to use Gmail for sensitive email, by all means don't. But this is just a silly knee-jerk reaction. Even if Google is the evilest company in the world, how could their development and championing of an open WiFi standard possibly compromise your privacy?

I think people would be a lot less confused if you said this first. Say "Don't salt bcrypt, bcrypt salts for you" and you'll have to explain yourself less.

Yes please to OpenID. It kills me that an idea I was so excited about (single login) is being coopted by a site I hate so very much (Facebook), just because they are a behemoth. Offering both is great, but when I clicked through and saw only Facebook as an option, I immediately bounced.

Does anyone have a link to further information on the muscle repair stuff she cited? The part about how after 25, your brain might just give muscles up for lost?

That's brilliant! It's such a simple feature, but such a huge step in UI magic.

I always hated those needless extra steps in screenshotting. And then two months later your Desktop is full of things you forgot to delete and you had to figure out why you had ever needed a screenshot of top in the first place...
