When mentioning something interesting that's been released, remember it's imperative never to include any kind of link to the thing you're talking about. </weary sarcasm>

Looks good. Nice work! I've not done more than 'kick the tyres' at the moment, but once thing I would suggest is to try and optimize the layout a bit better on mobile. On a tablet screen in horizontal mode, there's a lot

Sorry. I forgot to engage my "HN Sense of Humour Bypass", before visiting. It won't happen again.

Good riddance! It was crap anyway. I must have submitted sites of mine half a dozen times or more. None of them ever showed up in DMOZ's directory—even though they made you do most of the work for them, by filling out submission forms.

Thanks for that link. Last time I did a Twitter pruning session to remove unwanted drivel, I did it manually and it took me a couple of hours. Thank God I'm only an occasional Twitterer, so I only had a couple of hundred to wade throug

I can't be more specific at this remove, as it's a while since I set Isso up. But I found the documentation pretty unhelpful in places and, when I visited Github to chase up on some of the issues I was having, I came away with the

A more reusable solution than a paper sticker, I'll grant you. But €10 RRP? They're having a laugh! I can buy sheets of 200 wee round stickers that fit over my webcam for pennies. +1 for the story submitter anyway, for mentioning

S/He does link to a complaint on Disqus's forums about it. So, it does seem to be taking other people by surprise too: https://disqus.com/home/discussion/channel-discussdisqus/bug...

I'm a fairly amateurish Vim user, but can get around well enough to do most of the text editing I need. I mostly use it for setting stuff up / editing config files, etc. when SSH-ed into my servers. Never having trained as a touch

Yeah. I'd like this too, but I'm not holding my breath as the developer comes across as a bit of an arrogant arsehole. When I first set up isso, I had a hell of a time getting it configured and running, following the pretty poor o

Congratulations on getting through an entire piece centred around communicating with people, without resorting to the phrase "reached out". For the first time in ages, I've been able to save my sick bag for another day!

I prefer the version an old work colleague had on a poster in his office: If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late. If you're late, you're fired.

I live in UK and never keep eggs the fridge. They easily keep for a couple of weeks or more. So I think the "use within a week" advice is over-cautious. Handy tip, if you want to know if an egg's good* or not, without breakin
