Am I the only one being put off by the CSS? I had to crank the display brightness to the max in order to read it without strain.
Edit: I agree a lot with the content though - For many complex problems, especially the kind where you can't just throw some standard software solution at it, it would be helpful to first develop a suitable DSL. From personal experience I'd say spend one third of your time budget into developing your domain specific toolset - even if your managers get nervous. If it works you will finish sooner than you expected and you have developed reusable tools and skills, if it doesn't you can still throw in a crunch and get it done. For me it has always worked though.
- aroman 14y agoPerhaps it is because I am in a dark room reading in bed with a MacBook Air set at 50% brightness, but I actually really liked the experience of reading that. Though I can absolutely understand where someone might not.
- DeepDuh 14y agoI'm in a bright[1] office with an rMBP. I'm imagining everyone with displays that give less brightness / contrast is going to have a bad time. [1] It's a Japanese office. These people really like their cold bright neon. I think it has to with dark east asian eyes.
- Kluny 14y agoI liked it too, but I almost went blind when I came back to HN.
- cpeterso 14y agoYou might like Flux. It adjusts your display's color temperature depending on the time of day. No more blinding screens when you open your MacBook at night. :) http://stereopsis.com/flux/ http://stereopsis.com/flux/
- errnoh 14y agoUsing flux as well but that site was one of the most enjoyable sites to read that I've seen in couple years. The colors aren't that beautiful but it's much less stressful for my eyes, and the highlight colors were spot on as well. Thanks to emidln for informing that it's Solarized Dark, I've used the default Solarized but I've skipped the Dark one because of somewhat ugly colors.
- emidln 14y agoThat's solarized dark. I actually just switched to it for my personal blog because I really like it. Apparently I'm not alone. I spend most of my day in a fullscreen terminal with a solarized dark colorscheme with AnonymousPro as my font.
