Make Beautiful Gradients

from Josh Comeau's blog [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
Have you ever noticed that gradients tend to look a little gray and washed-out in the middle? This happens because of a mathematical quirk with RGB colors. Fortunately, we can work around this quirk, and create beautiful, lush, saturated gradients.

Yes, accessibility is also a backend concern

from Eric Bailey [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
There is a prevailing notion in web development that the frontend—the discipline of creating what someone can see and do on a website or web app—is the only place you need to consider accessibility. This simply isn’t true. Accessibility is a holistic practice that touches every...

[Renovated] Logic programming in C++

from Words and Buttons Online [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
When you write in C++ you actually write in two languages at once. First is C++, and the second one is the invisible Prolog. If written properly, the second program is helpful. However, if being neglected, it turns your code into an untangleable mess of incomprehencibles...

Distributed Logical Time

from A Smart Bear [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
Properly ordering events in time is notoriously difficult in distributed systems. This algorithm is a simple, decentralized, scalable, constant-memory mechanism for independent replicas to record events in time, such that “happened-before” is preserved in almost all cases.

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
