Disable HTML 5 Validation Clicking this will disable html5 validation for all form elements on the page. Useful for testing server side validation while leaving HTML 5 validation in place.

I came across this story thanks to Polygon’s refutation of the mod’s existence, but fortunately thought to read the original article over at Tiny Cartridge first — as I would recommend you do as well. “Creepy” barely scratches the surface of this haunting tale. Especially if you, like me, grew up loving Pokemon, I encourage you to take a few minutes and read this story; it’s remarkably well-done. Permalink.

If you've spent any amount of time on this site you may have noticed that I'm fond of PostgreSQL...and Ruby on Rails...and that I dislike the general trend among Rails developers to ignore all of the amazing features in PostgreSQL that make your application better in favor of risking data integrity just so that all logic can remain in Rails. So here's my top collection of Rails gems to get at all that untapped power in PostgreSQL that you d..

The more time I spend examining Fiddler, the more and more impressed I am. Not only is it feature rich out of the box, but it includes a number of mechanism to easily extend it. This week we're going to focus on the easiest way to add new functionality: installing new plugins. All of the following plugins are available at Telerik.com. I highly recommend installing them. JavaScript Formatter The first plugin, and my personal favorite, was in..

As usual, a great post by Joe Steel over at Unauthoritative Pronouncements where he tackles the now-inflammatory issue of Markdown and its numerous variants, and goes on to explain why he cannot get behind Jeff Atwood’s “Standard Markdown” — later renamed to “Common Markdown”, and then finally “CommonMark” — play. I completely agree with every point Joe made. However, I will say that although I do agree with Joe, I cannot get behind the und....

Possible the only impartial take on the recent Markdown flareup you will find anywhere, Sid O’Neill took this opportunity to make a great work of prose rather than a declaration of support in favor of one side or the other. Take this opportunity to enjoy an article for the excellent craft it contains, rather than the point it attempts to make. Permalink.

The Stanford Javascript Crypto Library, or simply SJCL , is probably the best option available right now for using cryptography on the client-side: the project started in 2009 as a paper describing how to implement a secure and fast crypto library for web browsers, including, for instance, a CSPRNG algorithm and symmetric encryption. Today, it also has public-key crypto, hashing, and ECC primitives. It’s very small (just 37kb uncompresse....

Every day like clockwork, I copy a small text file out of a staging directory. Shortly thereafter, a Python script pulls the contents of that file out, parses it, and then places each line into a webpage that then gets pushed up to a server managed by a good friend of mine. Within a few seconds of that page going live, the handy Bitly bookmarklet gives me a shortened URL that I then send out to the world thanks to the magic of Tweetbot. ..

Ten teams of two to four Cerner interns competed in a week-long HackFest this summer, working to solve any problem they put their minds to. This competition cumulated in a presentation and judging of projects, with prizes of Raspberry Pi Kits for each member of the second place team and Leap Motions for each member of the winning team. From mobile apps, to machine learning algorithms, to drones…this year’s Summer Intern HackFest has been on..

We come into life in a body. We have to take care of our body whether we like it or not. If we don’t take care, we are out of life. Simple. Our bodies are liabilities to us. They demand payment of food, excercise, shower, sex, warmth. If we don’t pay our due in time they enforce-collect it. They control of our mind and drive us crazy until they get their payment. Their demands aren’t the same to every person. Athletes’ body demands much m....

Pros and Cons There are lots of pros and cons when it comes to WordPress vs Jekyll. After looking through this list you might decide that Jekyll is not for you, and that is fine. Just remember that every tool is used for different tasks and neither WordPress nor Jekyll can be declared “better” as they are both good in different situations. Jekyll Pros Speed : No PHP is called or needs to be executed. A static HTML page is served and that....

I was a CS student long ago, but still remember the life. I’ve learned a lot since then and have a successful career. Perhaps I could have evolved much faster with a better initial understanding of this profession. Knowing the lessons I learned will help you avoid some of my mistakes.

Your quest is at an end for you have reached the home of Peramides 1 . This is a personal blog about things I’ve learnt, discovered, thought, or that I just need to write down somewhere because I always forget them. It’s a spiritual successor of my old WordPress blog. I needed something fresh so I built this using Jekyll/Octopress (I almost chose Hakyll but its documentation was scarce and outdated, and I’m not really proficient in Ha....

The idea that one could survive and prosper based on their merits alone is a comforting idea. If this story teaches us anything though, it teaches us that increasingly, it is nothing more than that — little more than a comforting notion in a world where mom and dad can open their wallets to make any door spring open before their baby. I signed eight years of my life away in exchange for a four-year education, and while I don’t regret that ..

I'm taking September off to work for some clients, so Lemma is temporarily on the back-burner. HOWEVER. Wednesday night a certain something arrived in the mail. I immediately tried it out with Half-Life 2 and was shocked at the massive improvement over DK1. I was so impressed that I've spent pretty much every waking minute since then trying to get it working in Lemma. Current status? It's very, very close. The VR itself is 1..

I first came across Rohan Anderson and his writing through a video titled “ The Smokehouse ”, where he talked about and demonstrated his efforts to construct a smokehouse completely by hand. Since that cool winter night almost a year ago now, I have continued following Rohan’s activities through his excellent blog, Whole Larder Love , and have linked to a number of his articles in the weeks and months since then. If my implicit endorseme..

When I was 18 years old, I started taking driving lessons. I practiced on an old Opel Astra, that was running on propane instead of normal gas, to save money. On my first lesson, we spent a large portion of the time going over the different tools and instruments available in the car. We covered many things at once. How to turn the signals, which pedal is the throttle, the break, and the clutch, how to use them to switch gears, how to turn l....

After Ben Hewitt’s recent essay on his approach to and the benefits of unschooling, Outside Online has another great article on the subject, this time offering some helpful suggestions to those looking to differ from the norm. Again, not the time to share my thoughts on this subject quite yet, but keep this one, too, in the back of your mind when I do. Permalink.

Over the last few years I've grown rather accustomed to listening to my Pandora while working, even upgrading to PandoraOne so that I can enjoy my music without interruptions 1. However, I found myself avoiding Pandora earlier this year. Why? Pandora uses Flash for the web and Air for the desktop, presumably in order to annihilate the battery on my laptop. 2 The problem isn't Pandora though, it's Flash. What if I could use Pandora without F..

Introduction I was thinking about how the compiler looks to protect the code we write when it can. Invalid memory access checks are one type of safety check the compiler adds to our code. We might think that this "extra code" is hurting our performance and maybe over billions of iterative operations it is. However, these checks can prevent our code from causing damage to the systems we are running on. The compiler is essentially reportin....

Problem: Two players take turns moving a rook on an 8×8 chessboard. The rook is only allowed to move south or west (but not both in a single turn), and may move any number of squares in the chosen direction on a turn. The loser is the player who first cannot move the rook. What is the optimal play for any starting position? rook-board Solution: Take advantage of the symmetry of the board.

For the past five months I have continued publishing a series of articles dubbed “This Week in Podcasts”. Born of my love for the medium, I have curated these lists to great results, and to my great enjoyment. However, this week I find myself in an unfortunate position: although I have worked diligently to get through my growing queue of unplayed podcast episodes over the past week, I have yet to find anything that merits inclusion in this ..
