A fascinating story about thievery but so very long and so difficult to read due to the layout, colors and styling.
- e40 17y agoAgreed! It was a pleasure to read in the original issue of the New Yorker.
- callahad 17y agoCheck out http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/ http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/ This is the first article that I've actually used Readability on, and it worked wonderfully.
- ghshephard 17y agoRe: Color/Styling - Tell me about it, I just came back to the HN screen, and after staring at black for so long, everything looks _very_ washed out. Here's hoping my eyeballs recover... [Edit: No, seriously - My MacBook Pro's screen (10 minutes later) _still_ looks all washed out. Adjusting the brightness doesn't seem to work. This is after taking a two minute break. Something about reading long fiction for 30 minutes on that black screen really caused an impact]
- NathanKP 17y agoI have a Mac so I just hit Control + Option + Command + 8 to invert screen colors. It makes reading light text on a dark background bearable.
- ekanes 17y agoThis trick is also useful... * for working on airplanes - easier on the eyes in the low light and your batteries last longer. * for messing with anyone with a Mac. Just walk over and invert their colors. :)
- NathanKP 17y agofor messing with anyone with a Mac. Just walk over and invert their colors. :) If you do it fast enough and they are newb enough they'll spend a couple minutes trying to figure out how to undo it. ;)
