Thing I would like to see Twitter do but they never will (besides explaining how difficult it would be to hack someone’s account to send one tweet):

Set up a page where they confirm or repudiate reports by verified users that their accounts were “hack”.

Well said

I like this. On one hand I do think it makes the code more readable. On the other hand if your object or “class” has a lot of methods then you can end up writing this a lot.

There are more elegant solutions, but I think this is a simple, readable, bug reducing strategy.

They suck. It’s SUCH a nuisance when the person in front of you reclines and that’s why I never do it.

Spencer Ackerman breaks down the Battle of Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back for Wired:

At the very most, the Empire’s assault on Hoth killed a couple of low-ranking Rebels and destroyed a few transit ships — which we don’t even see on screen. Instead of crushing the Rebels, it scattered them, leaving them to survive for the additional successes they’ll achieve in Return of the Jedi. It’s a classic fiasco of overconfidence and theology masquerading as military judgment — and the exact opposite of the Empire striking back.

Shared a bunch last week, but too brilliant not to re-tumbl. 

Ah nothing better than analyzing the military strategy of a fictional movie.

Related to my post on Sketch. Seriously. Awesome tool.

Been testing this out working on a mockup for fantasy league’s site (a site I’ve been promising them for like 2 years…). Really easy to use for mockups. Does everything in vectors so you can zoom and expand and not lose fidelity. Really beautiful. Also exports assets (with an @2x option) and gives you the ability to copy the css styles for an element. Only $50 on the Mac App Store

Cool stuff from A List Apart. And they’ve open sourced it.
