Have a look at the request URL in this screenshot: http://kaspars.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/invisible-clic... Notice the escaped character there.

There aren't any variables, just a couple unicode characters after the word 'inspector'

And this post doesn't link to the actual tracked url, the page contains it.

This is the actual URL: http://kaspars.net/blog/web-development/invisible-click-trac...

Copy and paste the link into python, like so:

    >>> repr('http://kaspars.net/blog/web-development/invisible-click-tracking')
    "'http://kaspars.net/blog/web-development/invisible-click-tracking\\xe2\\x80\\x8b'"

EDIT: Yeah, they didn't show up anywhere in the Safari inspector for me either.

I'm not seeing this in Python either. Perhaps the URL on the article has been "fixed"?

•on: Google, what were you thinking?

Well, it will be interesting to hear what google has to say but meanwhile there seems to be a lot of people with axes to grind with google.On the other hand, what's taking so long, google should have given a statement on the issue.

•on: Tech’s Relationship With Depression, Suicide and A...

I think the real solution would be to avoid cutting off from society.Most experienced and stable techies have wives and some kids, this helps them keep their sanity.Having to go home to a loving wife and some children really refreshes a man and brings calmness to his mind.In my experience, techies with a family tend to be mentally balanced.

Perhaps techies who are mentally balanced in the first place are just more likely to have a partner and kids?

I think age is definitely a factor, between the ages of 19 to 24 most people have a technical brilliance but don't have the mental experience to deal with emotional stress that comes with failure and increased demands.

•on: How One Missing `var` Ruined our Launch

Reminds me of a time i had a similar bug.The more i tried the more i found it hard to discover the bug.One approach i usually use is to take a timeout and relax.But in your position there was no time for relaxing.

The secret of samsung is that they cater for multiple price ranges, also the use of android is proving to be a good advantage over the now dying nokia.Despite the launch of the lumia, nokia and microsoft aren't likely to win in this race.
