Continuing my "css-dig" has a new idea, to analyze another relevant topic which concerns the uniform alignment of the blocks in width. basically my thorough research, I already posted in your blog , but since my last job loved the Habra-community, I decided to make here a small obzorchik this short article to no Habra-soul missed her for sure. So, in the words of Yuri Gagarin: "let's Go." In General, the layout problems periodically there are times when there is a need to align some list to the screen width. The items on this list should align evenly, hugging their extreme elements to the container bounds, and the distance between them should be the same. The figure shows that the points align in width adjacent to the side walls and making the spacing between a – equivalent. How it works? In fact, we should get whatever makes text-align: justify with text. Since the behavior of our blocks is very similar to the result of the alignment of

On the basis of topics ( here and here ), reading the reaction to the change counting algorithm karma, unexpectedly came the thought: but what an interesting experiment it turned out. A self-organizing system (Habr) was deduced from the equilibrium (prior to the usual distribution of money), external effects (change in the calculation of karma and the General reduction of its level). The system responded with a desire to restore the lost balance (herpolitha were actively added each other with the aim to get as close to the old, familiar values of karma). Habr behaves as a kind of single artificial organism Homeostasis Homeostasis — a self-organizing system that simulates the ability of living organisms to maintain some quantities (e.g. body temperature) in a physiologically acceptable bounds. the Homeostat has the ability of self-organization , that is, may to a certain extent to learn and to adapt the forms of their behavior towards a sustainable balance with the envi

Ranking scientists by the number of links to their work — a thankless job. Anyone can name a few weaknesses of this system. 1. Not all links are the same. The importance of reference work is an important factor. 2. Scientists from different fields of science use quotations and references in different ways. Work in the field of life Sciences is cited six times, work in physics to three times, and math — is only one. 3. Breakthrough work can be cited rarer because they involve niche research area at an early stage of their development. 4. Important work often stop to quote when they get in the textbooks. The pattern of cross-references between scientific papers forms a complex network similar to the network of hyperlinks on the Internet. Maybe that is the key to opening the best way to assess the importance of the particular work? Sergei Maslov of Brookhaven national laboratory in new York and Sidney Redner from Boston University have asked themselves the same quest

This summary of the rules were drafted after the discussion on "What is bad?" habré. Mostly, he focused on writing a set of rules that reflect the causes and what cannot be, to change the karma and change the status message. These rules are for executing in an order, these are the rules of etiquette and to some they may seem obvious, but still worth to read and implement, it is not so difficult. A set of rules not a last resort, moreover, is not even an alpha version, and I hope that our synergy and collective intelligence will help us to Supplement, modify this list. the Hebraistical Any person has the right to use the grading system messages and people, but has no right to restrict personal freedom of other people. the do Not abuse their opportunities. You need to understand that minus is very different from the plus. Minus oppressing man, and does not develop it. Put the pros when You like something but think before you put a minus, if something is not like

it's Time to celebrate the New Year and take stock of the passing year. 2009 for Nigma.ru was even more productive, the year 2008 . We have developed and launched over a dozen new useful services and according to your numerous requests updated design :)) We take this opportunity to congratulate all the users of Habrahabr with the coming year 2010! We wish you new achievements and emotional balance! It's time to see the old year — we present to your attention a collection of the main Nigma-Fitch 2009: 1. Search for chains of chemical reactions : Ag -> X -> AgNO3 -> X -> Ag(NH3)2OH -> X -> Ag . 2. Miracle auto-completion answers the question even before the user had time to enter it in the search bar. 3. a New algorithm for indexing sites , which is able to extract structured information. 4. Chemical uravnavesil , which can automatically arrange the coefficients in chemical reactions. 5. Crisis search products — the list of goods in

Increasing popularity among geeks gaining entertainment in the format of a One-day Project or a Funky Friday. The idea is that in a very short time to develop and unreleased project. The benefit is not only to feel like a real startup and test yourself and your team strength. The benefit is that this format allows to test the ideas and find the pitfalls before you completely devote yourself to the project. In addition, an additional bonus is that you will learn how to break the idea into parts, highlighting the Most Important thing. After a day is impossible, and do not need to implement all the ideas — you need to concentrate on the primary to be on time. For us it was the second project that we developed in this format. With the development of the first we have missed in terms even close. It taught us to better assess your strength and choose tools. To implement the second idea we came up more seriously. Advance were worked out the idea, define the minimum functionality
