Compose New Emails Quickly from Firefox - http://lifehacker.com/5323735...
Dan Smith, Marc Dong, ★ Soner Gönül and 7 other people liked this
"if you've got your email/mailto: handler set up in Firefox (or Chrome, Opera, or any other browser, really), dashing off a new email to an address you've just copied or have to write out from scratch can be sped along by heading to the address bar and typing out mailto:someemailaddress@whatever.com. Want to speed that up even more? Create a keyword bookmark for the mailto: prefix, maybe something along the lines of em or just e. This won't save you much time if you've always got Outlook one click away, or only email your auto-completing contacts, but for occasional browser-to-email transitions, it's a good idea."

Swedish parents keep 2-year-old's gender secret - http://www.thelocal.se/20232...
Rui Pires, Kol Tregaskes, Lars Clausen and 14 other people liked this
"A couple of Swedish parents have stirred up debate in the country by refusing to reveal whether their two-and-a-half-year-old child is a boy or a girl. Pop’s parents [see footnote], both 24, made a decision when their baby was born to keep Pop’s sex a secret. Aside from a select few – those who have changed the child’s diaper – nobody knows Pop’s gender; if anyone enquires, Pop’s parents simply say they don’t disclose this information. In an interview with newspaper Svenska Dagbladet in March, the parents were quoted saying their decision was rooted in the feminist philosophy that gender is a social construction. “We want Pop to grow up more freely and avoid being forced into a specific gender mould from the outset,” Pop’s mother said. “It's cruel to bring a child into the world with a blue or pink stamp on their forehead.” The child's parents said so long as they keep Pop’s gender a secret, he or she will be able to avoid preconceived notions of how people should be treated if male...

Hmmm...somehow I see Pop being a bit confused.
- Jenny Morman
I can't even imagine what ramifications this will have for Pop down the road. I'm all for breaking down gender-barriers, but it seems like this could end up making a much bigger deal out of them in the long run.
- Jennifer Dittrich
i don't think anyone can predict how this child is going to turn out. possibly good, possibly a bad thing, but there may very well be lots of confusion during the formative years
- Cee Bee
At some point, Pop'll want to know if he or she can have a baby or not....
- Stephen Mack
I hope the parents are saving for psychotherapy bills in those formative years.
- Anne Bouey
Anne: No need. Pop will be able to make enough money on the lecture circuit to pay for them.
- Kevin Fox
The least they could have done was given a gender neutral name - Chris, Pat, Terry...you get the idea
- Janet-The Bottley Crue
@Stephen they're not hiding the gender from the child. they're hiding it from the world. the kid is basically free to choose. I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing.
- D. Eda Goze
Fascinating. I'm not too worried about Pop. It's interesting to try to raise a child gender-free. These are social constructions, many of which are ridiculous and irrelevant to a person's true self. I'd be pleased for much of that crap to fall by the wayside. The more interesting thing is how society responds to Pop. Maybe people really will relate to him/her as a person. How refreshing.
- Ayşe E.
I wonder what pronoun they use when referring to the child.
- Rochelle
Pop.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Weird.
- Matt Ruiz
Agreed, tiffany. The sex (and thus likely gender category) will become known by school time. Pop will have to use one bathroom or another. Done and done.
- Ayşe E.
I wonder if Pop was born with both sets of reproductive organs. This way the parents will have fewer problems than if they tried to guess which gender their child relates to more.
- Maggie
i don't believe there's any indication that "pop" was born with both male and female organs. could be, but it just sounds like the parents' politics more than anything
- Cee Bee
Of course, he'll be treated like the child of weirdos, so I'm thinking this won't end well, or be an experiment of the sort they suggest.

I love Drupal and Joomla, but it's too bad they're written in PHP... which is kind of an antique compared to newer stuff like Ruby on Rails... the next generation of cool CMS platforms will probably be running something like Rails, not PHP.

Is there a concrete benefit to why they'd be written in Rails and not PHP besides PHP is not as new or cool as Rails?
- Mark Trapp
actually PHP is a programing language but rails is a framework. framework can not be as powerful as a programing language. there are a few similar rails like framework for PHP such as cakephp and symfony

- Che Hodgins
I don't know, are frameworks really that constraining? What prevents you from using plain Ruby in your Rails app, or plain Perl in your Catalyst app? In terms of functionality, sure, the language shouldn't matter so long as it's Turing-complete. But you've got to admit, some languages are much uglier than others. But even this doesn't really matter unless you actually intend to modify the code.

Rails is new? My I thought interest in rails had peaked and was already fading.
- Henry Holtzman
I dare you to write a Drupal clone for Rails and get it to scale as well as it does on PHP :) I'm not saying that Rails isn't capable or not awesome in it's own right, but I believe that for massive sites (which Drupal/PHP handles quite well) Rails won't be as effective.
- Mo Kargas
I know a year ago Twitter was supposedly abandoning Rails precisely because of the scaling issues and planning to use a different language and framework. Did this end up happening?
- Victor Ganata
I agree the language isn't as important as the end result, look at Facebook chat powered with Erlang. Erlang really that's not a sexy language, but it made a sexy app.

having been trained in OOP using Java, PHP seems quite comfortable to me! but i agree that the language is less important than what is built with it, so whatever people prefer to code in, they should be encouraged :)
- Mike Chelen
Are Rails programing primitives really as durable and scalable as PHP has proven to be?
- James Watters
The thing I hate about Drupal is the way that the PHP templates intermingle code and presentation. I'd really like to see a CMS built in Grails (I'm a Java programmer) that has a really clean MVC separation.
- Peter Kelley
Peter, since you mentioned Grails, you may be interested in this podcast: http://www.webdevradio.com/ - Grails gets a lot of air time there. Cheers!
- Micah
Reimplementing the exact functionality of an existing CMS just to write it in another language does seem kind of a waste, although I guess it would be a great way to learn a new language. Does Rails still not scale well despite swallowing up Merb?
- Victor Ganata
Wow, there's a lot of misinformation in this thread on all sides... suffice to say you should evaluate your options thoroughly and choose the language that lets you be most productive. With the hardware available today most projects will never hit scaling barriers on the web side. Pay a LOT of attention to the database software and design though, because that's where the bottlenecks will come from.

"If you were to measure the popularity of your website content on Twitter, the most effective way would be that you count the number of tweets (and re-tweets) that are linking to your web pages. For instance, I can go to backtweets.com and it will instantly show me a list of twitter messages (and their total count) that mention any of my blog articles. The web interface of backtweets is pretty awesome for tracking popularity of web pages on Twitter one-by-one but imagine if you could use the same service to measure popularity of dozens of web pages or even your entire site in one go? Well, here’s a Google Docs spreadsheet [*] that does exactly the same thing. It consists of two sheets - one for tracking RSS feeds and other for tracking multiple URLs."
