Is there any way of people seeing the beta pages without guessing around at file names or looking at the directory from an FTP client? These are all orphaned pages, there is no...
Problem at hand: How to present two large hierarchies in Web UI for computer-illiterate users that fill some kind of boring application form. Use-case: User selects item "a" from hierarchy "A", then it selects item "b" from the (completely unrelated) hierarchy "B" and fills in a short free-form text to supplement his choice. Both hiera...
Hi. I'm looking for a content scroller ("carousel" component) and HTML5 video library that work well across browsers but most importantly handles HTML5 video and the iPad well. I've tried the AnythingScroller + JW HTML5 Player and they simply don't work on Safari 5 and iPad -- the HTML5 video goes outside of the scroller component, even ...

And then client sends cookie back and server can recognize the client because there's something like hash-map on the server with relations cookie --> session. I don't understand how does the se...
I'm lucky enough to have full control over the architecture of my company's app, and I've decided to scrap our prototype written in Ruby/Rails and start afresh in Python. This is for a few reasons: I want to learn Python, I prefer the syntax and I've basically said "F**k it, let's do it." So, baring in mind this is going to be a pretty ...
I've looked around a bit but I can't seem to solve this problem I have. I'd like to execute a python script within a view of my django app. I've placed the code I'd like to execute inside a django management command so it can be accessed via command line python manage.py command-name.

I cannot compress the image much more without ruining its quality dramatically. Is there another way that I can achieve this with the sa...
