Using CSS Variables Correctly - MadeByMike
Custom Properties have the potential to change how we write and think about CSS.
In most cases, I'd now consider it code smell if a media query or CSS selector swaps one variable for another. Rather than swapping variables it's better to define one variable, set its initial value and change it with a selector or media query.

Google no longer automatically indexes websites? | Hacker News
Search engines in general have realized that it's more profitable to show you irrelevant results than to show you nothing. Furthermore, they've realized it's more profitable to show you irrelevant results laden with their ads than show you highly relevant results from ad-free sites.
Perverse incentives at work!
This is precisely what happened. When google merged with doubleclick.net the new company should have been named doubleclick.net and not google. The old google ceased to exist at that point and was swallowed by an advertising company.

Red Hat Tries To Address Criticism Over Their Source Repository Changes - Slashdot
For the enterprise, that leaves SUSE. Personally, I think the best thing enterprise environments can look at are firms that provide support for FreeBSD, like Klara Systems. [klarasystems.com] Since they don't make a "distro" and FreeBSD is a full OS controlled by a foundation, your support guys can't pull the rug out from the open source community. Plus, since they don't own the system, their bug fixes go to the foundation, not their fork of it. Allowing the support guys to own the code is a recipe for disaster—they're incentivized to lock you in and implement Oracle-style anti-customer tactics. Unfortunately, the guys who pay the bills tend to like the IBMs and Oracles of the world.
Schoenberg: Drei Klavierstücke, Op. 11 (Pollini)
These wonderful little pieces are works that you (probably) have to learn to love, but which can be loved nonetheless -- and it certainly helps that Pollini plays them with intimacy and expressiveness. Though atonal, these pieces are nonetheless thinly swathed in the last vestiges of classical form and harmony: you can glimpse shades of lyrical melody, chordal accompaniments, ABA structure in the first piece, expressive appoggiaturas, pedal tones, and so on. Formally speaking there's a vast (unimaginably vast) number of things that can be said about these three pieces, standing as they are at the very threshold of full-blooded modern serial atonality, but that's not in fact that helpful if you want to just enjoy listening to these. So instead I suggest several ways of listening to these:
- Three tableaux: a silent evening in a house soon to be demolished, a funeral, a fire swallowing a factory.
- Five paintings: Picasso's The Blue Room, Francis Bacon's Head I / Böcklin's Isle of the Dead, Munch's The Scream / Kandinsky's Composition VII
- Three preludes: a nocturne out of late Liszt, a Brahmsian intermezzo/lament, a piece out of Schumann's Kriesleriana.
- Three myths: Sisyphus, Dante, Zeus and Leda.
- Music for films from the black-and-white era. Imagine whatever you choose.

Stephanie Eckles - Scaling CSS Layout Beyond Pixels
Responsive designs being created today have to serve more users on more devices and with more varied abilities and preferences than ever before. And size and spacing of elements can quite literally make or break your layout. In this new world, strict pixel values are so Web 2.0. Let’s review modern CSS techniques for building future-forward flexibility into our layouts and components.

Semver: A Primer
Prefixing a single semver version string with the ^ character defines a range of acceptable versions that include all patch and minor versions from the ones specified up to, but not including, the next version. So "^1.2.3" can be approximately expanded as ">=1.2.3 <2.0.0".
Unlike ~, the ^ operator with a major version of 0 is essentially a no-op, in that it translates to exactly that version rather than a full range. So "^0.2.3" is equal to just "0.2.3" and no more.
Perl Advent Calendar 2014 - PSGI, Enabling Modern Web Technology in Perl
In recent years we've seen an explosion of powerful web technologies in Perl not at the least due to the creation of the PSGI specification.
Plack provides the Plack::Middleware class that makes the process of modifying the response easier, and along with Plack::Util helps us deal with the slightly more complex cases where there's a callback for a response from our inner class:
Plack::Test
Another great thing about abstracting away the actual webserver that our PSGI application is talking to is that we don't actually have to have a real webserver at the outer layer at all! If we just want to test our application we can do this in process by just sending input to the anonymous subroutine and examining the return values.
