   people can sidestep the harvesting process entirely by spending real money to purchase in-game items ^{link »}

   even people who play Farmville want to avoid playing Farmville ^{link »}

   As you advance through Farmville , you begin earning rewards that allow you to play Farmville less ^{link »}

   if Farmville is laborious to play and aesthetically boring, why are so many people playing it? The answer is disarmingly simple: people are playing Farmville because people are playing Farmville . ^{link »}

   media="only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2)" ^{link »}

   This tells browsers to include “retina.css” only if the device pixel ratio is 2 or higher. ^{link »}

   The “ retina.css ” file overrides the background images of some of my site’s graphics with higher resolution versions and uses the background-size property to set the correct CSS pixel dimensions. ^{link »}

    Mac OS X is a fully managed color system. Colors aren’t just RGB, but also include a colorspace that maps RGB to an abstract color. When any bitmap is drawn to the screen, it’s color-converted. ^{link »}

12. Interview with Damien Katz – Apache CouchDB

    ^{share | edit}

    There’s a thing called CouchApps. CouchDB, being an HTTP server, can host applications directly, so you can write applications and forward the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript through CouchDB. When you point your browser at it, the browser comes alive and starts the JavaScript. It becomes interactive as you query and update the server and everything. When everything is served from CouchDB, that’s a CouchApp and you can replicate it around, just like the data. ^{link »}

    You run these in your browser, and they’re just like regular web apps. The really cool thing is that once you install CouchDB locally, you can replicate these down and still run them even if you’re disconnected from the network. You have the exact same experience ^{link »}
