Unreadable on mobile (pre text or something preventing reflow). And no byline or date, so completely useless. Fuck off basically.

- pc86 14y agoI upvoted the article just because of your ignorant comment.
- lessnonymous 14y agoiPhone? Hit the 'Reader' button in the URL bar. Anything else? Get the Readability or 'Instapaper Text' bookmarklet installed. Then quit posting your personal problems here.
- joezydeco 14y agoArticle looks just fine on iOS, no Reader necessary.
- Cor 14y agoFuck off? There's no need to be so rude. In the future, use ihackernews.com. It provides a mobile friendly link to stories using viewtext.org. The viewtext.org link for this story (http://viewtext.org/article?url=http://www.cockeyed.com/personal/doctor_airplane/doctor_airplane.html http://viewtext.org/article?url=http://www.cockeyed.com/pers...) works perfectly on my phone.
- moconnor 14y agoReadability is your friend.
- aleyan 14y agoOutside of the parent's bad attitude, he does have a good point. No timestamp on the article makes it hard for me to place the story in context. It is one of my pet peeves when I come across some morsel of information online but I can't evaluate if it is still applicable because there is no timestamp anywhere.
- cynwoody 14y agoThat's a pet peeve of mine, also. There's usually a date, but often not near the top and/or not in a standard format. Then there are these sites that use relative times, e.g., 0 minutes ago, or 865 days ago ... In the current case, there is a timestamp of sorts at the bottom of the page: "Updated December 27, 2012 Copyright 2012 Cockeyed.com". Here is blog owner's About page, last updated January 27, 2012: http://www.cockeyed.com/personal/about.html http://www.cockeyed.com/personal/about.html.
- cockerham 14y agoIs there some form of timestamp which is better than the full date at the bottom of the page?
- lostlogin 14y agoPersonally I find it useful when it says it was an hour ago, or a day ago, or 3 days ago etc up to a week. Then the date is what I want.
- cynwoody 14y agoYes. And it also helps if it's near the top of the post, as opposed to being buried in a signature or something. Bottom of the page would be OK, too, if people always put it there. But they don't. Consistent date placement promotes efficient search engine result scanning (Google's date constraints are highly imperfect).
