Footer.design is a pretty fun gallery site, itself, of course, with a pretty weird/bold footer. I’ve designed my fair share of footers over the years and it’s certainly an area where you just wanna look at like 50 footers before you start in. See what other people are doing. Can you be clever? Should you be clever? What kind of opportunities do you have down there?
I gotta admit I’m a bit torn, though. I love whimsey and weirdness and the footer seems like a fine place for that kind of action, the Ficitive Kin guide I linked to a few weeks ago douses some cold water on that.
The Nav and Footer are two places where best practices rule the day and innovation should be limited.
A visitor doesn’t want to be impressed by your unique navigation design. They want to understand what your company does and they want to get to where they are trying to go.
I do get that perspective too. I suppose it always comes down to what kind of site it is. Some designer’s portfolio website is a lot different than a website for a government agency.
This past weeks’ CodePen Challenge that Marie put together was all about this sorta weird design trend people call Bento Box Design. Like so many design trends, it may have come from Apple who loves this sort of look for presenting dense information in an easily digestible way:
One of the resources she linked up is a design gallery site called bentogrids which has a ton of examples of the style.
I gotta admit I think the style is kind of charming and fun and I’m attracted to it. But I’m sure if I see it three more times I’m gonna be like ok moving on.
And speaking of niche and actually kinda strange design galleries, I find Pattern Club to be… that. It’s kinda like not really patterns, but also not not patterns. Anyway, I like it because it’s not the regular sort of design work I see.
OK well now I’m on a kick of sharing websites that are in the general vicinity of design galleries so I can’t stop now. Bramus Van Damme has been blogging about and following the idea of Scroll-Driven Animations for ages now, and I’m pleased to see he’s now built a website that bundles it all together. And with a cool domain name with dashes in it, which means I love it: scroll-driven-animations.style
I like that there are tons of demos, and they all feel rather practical. They aren’t hyper-specific landing pages or anything, they are more like patterns you could see yourself using one day. Although, of course, I love the extra fancy stuff too.
Are you ever like, you know what I need? A weird pseudo-rectangular blobbo mess. As SVG, please. That’s what this thing does.
Everybody loves a good fresh color palette, right? There are tons of sites for this. They wanna spit at you 5 colors and let your brain ooze with joy. Like Coolors, for example.
LOOK AT ALL THE PRETTY COLORS.
But can you actually make them work? What are you supposed to do with those 5 colors? I’ve always gotten a little lost there. I feel like what you really need is a set of neutral-ish colors that end up being most of your color options. Then a few colors for branding and pop. Probably a bunch of variations.
I dig the site Realtime Colors because of how it maps the colors you’re picking onto a fairly practical-looking website. Plus, then you can share the website with those colors chosen.
Domain name vs URL - if you're new to website building, you may have come across these terms. In this guide, we'll explain what they are, how they work, and why understanding the difference is important.

The post Important Factors to Consider When Integrating PHP File Uploading Functionality in WordPress Theme appeared first on 85ideas.com.
A while ago, I was involved in a project which was the creation of new features for an existing system. In the evening, we clarified requirements with stakeholders about what needed to be implemented for that new undertaking. The following morning, I received an impatient call from one of the stakeholders asking when we would deliver such valuable functionality.
Nowadays, being competitive for a company means adapting to new realities and embracing new business opportunities at high speed. As a result, the most frequently asked question from businesses is how quickly you can deliver it.
According to a report by MarketsandMarkets, the global AI in cybersecurity market is projected to skyrocket from $8.8 billion in 2020 to an estimated $38.2 billion by 2026, marking a staggering 23.3% compound annual growth rate during the forecast period. This exponential growth underscores the critical role AI is poised to play in fortifying defenses against the rising tide of cyber threats, particularly amidst a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals.
As we embark on this journey to decrypt the future, we'll dive into the profound implications of AI's integration into cybersecurity, probing the questions that shape the landscape of digital defense.
It seems that a one-mile distance isn’t very long and that a cubic mile isn’t that big if compared with the size of the earth. You may be surprised if I tell you the entire world’s population can fit into a cubic mile of space. The statement is not from me; Hendrik Willem van Loon, a Dutch-American writer, once wrote this in his book.
Teradata is a famous data warehouse product. Over 30 years ago, such a brand name aimed to impress people with its ability to handle massive amounts of data. Today, TB is already the smallest unit many database vendors use when talking about the amount of data they can handle. And PB, even ZB, is often used. It seems that TB is not a big unit, and hundreds of terabytes of data, even a petabyte of data, is not intimidating at all.
Database consistency has been a strongly consistent theme at ScyllaDB Summit over the past few years. Last year, ScyllaDB's Kostja Osipov and Dr. Daniel Abadi, creator of the PACELC theorem, got together to chat about distributed database consistency. You can watch the full discussion below.
Here are some key moments from the chat…

As previously mentioned, last week I was on-site at the PromCon EU 2023 event for two days in Berlin, Germany.
This is a community-organized event focused on the technology and implementations around the open-source Prometheus project, including, for example, PromQL and PromLens.
Let's move forward in our journey of discovering and comparing JPA Criteria and Querydsl approaches. This post demonstrates a pagination feature in a custom query.
This series consists of these articles:
In the initial "How to Move IBM App Connect Enterprise to Containers" post, a single MQ queue was used in place of an actual MQ-based back-end system used by an HTTP Input/Reply flow, which allowed for a clean example of moving from local MQ connections to remote client connections.
In this post, we will look at what happens when an actual back-end is used with multiple client containers and explore solutions to the key challenge: how do we ensure that reply messages return to the correct server when all the containers have identical starting configurations?
In today's digital age, the proliferation of Deepfake technology and voice phishing (vishing) tactics presents a significant challenge to the authenticity and security of digital communications. Deepfakes manipulate audio and video to create convincing counterfeit content, while vishing exploits voice simulation to deceive individuals into revealing sensitive information. The need to accurately identify and mitigate these threats is paramount for protecting individuals and organizations from the potential consequences of misinformation, fraud, and identity theft.
Deepfakes are created using deep learning techniques, especially Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), to generate or modify videos and audio recordings, making them appear real. This technology can swap faces, mimic voices, and alter expressions with high precision.
In every organization, there may be multiple source systems for various needs. Depending on how big the organization is, the source systems may vary from one to more than 1,000. Organizations often centralize their data in one place, integrate it, and derive value out of the data, such as a 360-degree view of customers, products, and so forth. To achieve this, a good data governance framework needs to be in place.
The Data Governance framework helps organizations to group the data in the appropriate way, manage the data, ensure the quality of the data, verify the consistency of data, and completeness of data, all to improve decision-making abilities and secure the data in an apt way.
When the interview comes to the “Do you have any questions for me?” part, your best use of time is to try to uncover things that would cause you to absolutely say no (or yes) to the job.
“What gets you most excited about the company’s future?” is… nice, but no matter what answer they give, it’s not likely to change your mind about whether to accept the job or not.
As a WebRTC developer, you've probably heard the term "SDP" thrown around quite a bit, but what exactly is SDP and why is it important in WebRTC? In this article, we'll explore SDP — its meaning and how it works in WebRTC, and offer tips and best practices for working with it.
