What exactly do you still use or need jQuery for?

Not many I expect. Needing to hire Dutch lawyers is not such a big hurdle when you are saving billions.

Does the Netherlands get any benefits by offering these "services"? Is the gratitude of those using them beneficial? To whom exactly? And if not, then why is it not stopped? It is not exactly a poor county, that has no choice but

The Google Maps app did (does?) something like this. If you wanted to set your "Home" and "Work" shortcuts you had to enable history first.

In training interns I had to figure out what part of my coding advice to them is best practice and what part is just the way I like to do things. It's good to know the difference and it gave them the space to challenge me on some of th

It depends on your playing style. If you don't have time to get very immersed and just want to relax for a bit, then a game like MW is not going to work for you. Personally I tend to go for less complex when I have time to play, but a

You are not paying, right? So you are the product. You are targeted with ads tailored to your viewing pattern; your data is what creates value.

There's a good chance you will never know the books exist in the first place if they are not allowed to be sold on the largest platforms. Surely you are not denying that availability is a factor in exposure?

My post was a reply to someone making an equally short statement. Please don't take it out of that context.

Erasing the past is not the main concern here. We all know history is written by the victors. What worries me is the voluntary whitewashing and consequent suppression of alternative media by companies whose judgement is solely based on PR.

A store, yes. But when a store is as big as eBay they should only interfere very sparingly, preferably only to remove illegal products. Do you trust eBay to judge what is right and what is wrong for you? I sure as hell don't. The quest

Caught on a technicality yet again. I should have said "new type of self regulating market". Obviously every free market is self regulating, but we never had this mixture of a limited selection in dominating online sellers and the

Should we erase the past?

How long do you think it will be before Amazon follows suit? Relegating books to a market outside of the largest sellers basically amounts to erasing them. Sure, in this case people could still find them, because they are from a famous auth

ZZT was (is?) amazingly accessible and versatile. I created many worlds in it, most small, some big. I even tried to emulate the classic 1983 DOS game Digger and got pretty far before running into the limits of what it could do. I won'

Reminds me of drilling a hole in an LD 3.5‑inch floppy disk to format it as HD and gain 720 kb. Not very reliable, but it did work.

An older version of this lamp didn't work for me. My brain got used to the increasing light within a week, so that I'd only wake up when the gradually amplified bird chirping got to the "screaming flock of ravens" part.

If you often find yourself renaming files I can highly recommend Flash Renamer. It's $20, but it must have saved me thousands of dollars in production time. Btw, does anybody know of a modern disk usage manager that uses bright, clear

Comic Sans has gained a cultural meaning beyond it's design, which is why it's inappropriate for any official publications. Personally I have more fun spotting the "Jokerman" font in public. It is often chosen to display

So form over content then? I love the design of the site, but the first game I checked is Assasins Creed Black Flag, because I know that game has a very clever UI solution present in at least the early games in the series. There is nothing

Recently I had to install a driver for an old HP PhotoSmart on a new pc and the amount of always-on bloatware they tried to force down my throat was staggering. It even included an old school browser toolbar. I couldn't avoid installin

Apologies for not being more clear about this in my original comment, but I was not talking about the unfortunate people who don't have a choice. I had the HN crowd in mind when I mentioned my mates, who definitely DO have other option

Frankly it baffles me how people can go through life wasting away most of their prime waking hours on a job they don't love. Maybe I'm privileged to have had this option, but I've always avoided better paying jobs that didn&#
