Honestly, you see this all over the world where anticipated development either hasn't materialised or funds have dried up. The A57(M) freeway through Manchester, England was planned to continue from its current endpoint southwards, but

I've just been catching up with Corey Olsen's exploration of Lord of the Rings, and he makes the same point regarding Tolkien: the man thought in alliterative prose, and there are some places where it stands out even to the eye, b

Just to update you: I've added this feature. It actually doesn't take more than a few seconds to build the thread, but there's some space for progressive enhancement with a progress bar / spinner... I'll think some

Thanks for the suggestion, and it's a thought I had myself. The main issue there is that unrolling doesn't happen in real time: a copy is stored in Thread Tree with all the node positions worked out, and that takes a minute or two

I've only recently been introduced to Twitter, and I found the user experience around threaded conversations lacking: top-level replies are easily accessible, but deeper conversations are hidden behind Show Replies. To that end, I&#x27

For me, this whole fiasco was the last straw: Quantum had already broken the plugins I use for vertical tabs, and then I found that the only reason Quantum was introduced was to allow this Looking Glass plugin to collect telemetry from the

Looks like Senator Club's Wordpress wasn't expecting to get hit quite so hard. I don't suppose anyone has the text/transcript of this to hand?

Are British HN'ers taking any mitigating steps due to this whole situation? I'm currently in the process of incorporating in the Netherlands, and it turns out setting up a Ltd is a lot more expensive over there than in the UK. I j

"Async mode on" makes sense to a developer, but it's meaningless jargon to a non-technical PM. Perhaps "I'll get back to you" or "Leave a message" would work better?

For what it's worth, your "longer video" is just two copies of the shorter video spliced together. Did you mean to provide another link there?

I believe that's the point: you never notice a Billy, it turns into part of the wall. You can build a wall of storage with shelves in various places, and it's fully extensible.

They've never made a secret of it being LAMP throughout. There's still some code in there from the original PHP4 site 14 years ago (or at least, there was at the time I left staff).

Specifically on 6502-derived processors, you have the following registers: Accumulator, X and Y indexes, Stack Pointer, Program Counter, Flags. Of these, only the Program Counter is double-width. Additionally, the zeroth "page" of

It's worth noting that there are lots of stores not indexed by Semantics3, and Amazon is one of the big ones they miss out.

Great Britain is the name of the island, as distinct from the other Britain (Brittany, France) which is slightly smaller in area. No-one ever refers to Brittany as Britain, but the anachronism remains.

The Grasshopper tests had a full tank of fuel and (if I recall) additional ballast, to counteract the thrust of the engines. That's what allowed them to hover and perform the various low-velocity translation tests. Of course, these bar
