I find economics to be a fairly interesting subject, mind you I'm bored out of my mind about hearing about the stock markets, derivatives, and whatever else is on CNBC, but I find what guys like Steven Levitt and Steve E. Landsburg do to be fascinating. A lot of what they write about is why people do what they do, and how to incentivise people to do the right thing. Yesterday I was reading through ...

Apple, and the WebKit team, have recently proposed two different additions to CSS: CSS Transitions and CSS Animations. The two specifications are confusingly named - and it's hard to tell what the difference is between them at first glance. However, to put it simply: CSS Transitions are easy to use, while CSS Animations are made for programmers. CSS Transitions CSS Transitions provide you with the ability to force CSS property changing to occur smoothly over ...

John nails this one on the head. In the near term I think that Webkit's CSS transforms are great for simple iPhone specific web apps. They are no good for desktop browser apps if you're supporting all the major browsers though.The ability to control animations once they have launched as well as hook events that let you know the relative progress of the animation is crucial too for any serious application.

This is kind of weird. The Wikimedia Foundation wants to hold a vote on whether to distribute Wikipedia under a Creative Commons license, but All existing Wikipedia content is licensed under the CC-incompatible GNU Free Documentation License, and Getting permission from all the contributors to change the license would be impossible, but Most invocations of GNU/FSF licenses (including Wikipedia's) permit distribution under any later version of the given license, so The Wikimedia Foundation prevailed upon ...

I don’t like Django’s {% url %} template tag, and I'm about to tell you why. But first, let's have a little history lesson so we understand why the {% url %} tag exists and what problem it attempts to solve. I’ve been involved in Django since the .90 release, or nearly three years. As long as I’ve been working with Django, there’s been a convention which basically says that any model whose instances are ...

Ahhh, Django: my favorite web framework. And CouchDB: my favorite new database technology. How can I pair these two awesomes together to make an awesome-er? One of the features that I would like to add to this site when it's time for an upgrade is a lifestream. It seems like everyone is doing it these days (isn't this great logic!), so I probably should too. Originally this was going to be written in the standard ...

This article is based on a talk I gave at the 2008 RubyConf in Orlando, Florida, entitled “Recovering from Enterprise: how to embrace Ruby’s idioms and say goodbye to bad habits”. The other day I went to Target with my son. Like most kids, I think, he’s convinced that Target is a toy store, which just happens to sell towels and shoes and cleaning supplies, too, so in his eyes it’d be criminal to not ...

One of the great strengths of Django is the vast ecosystem of reusable apps. People saw common patterns in what they were making and abstracted those out in to an app that anyone else can use in their own projects. The Pinax project, in which I am a committer, is attempting to take the ecosystem and bundle up these reusable apps into more of a deliverable. We are working on having different flavors of Pinax ...
