I actively try and avoid delivery where possible because to me it's less convenient (within reason, eg i wouldn't drive too far or pay too much more): 1. The delivery guy may assume I'm not home, and hence leave a missed deli

I had a conversation with friends who live in LA yesterday about the fact that they thought smoking is more prevalent in Melbourne than in the LA. Amused by the timing :-) (If I'd guessed, I would've assumed smoking was less preva

Do you "enjoy" one more than the other? (I recently realised how important that is to me, so I'd posit that it may not be worth underestimating as part of the equation :-) )

I know I can ctrl-pgup/down in Firefox (it's the best alternative to alt-tab afaict) but on one of my laptops it's incredibly impractical (pgup/down is way up the top right), and on the other pgup/down is in a pract

Fair point about alt-tab; I didn't quite make it clear, but I'm using DWM with the windows-key as meta, so meta-tab switches between two tags (do that infinitely often (ie, not cycling, just swapping)) and meta-[0-9] for general t

It's all personal preference, but since Opera 12 I've been addicted to ctrl-tab for most recently used switching (Opera 12 had a nice tab switcher that made the interaction very understandable/manageable), and then alt-tab fo

I wouldn't write off project managers' appreciation for interactive prototypes... Although I would agree that they often (but, ime, not always) appreciate an export (eg pdf) that can be signed off and stored. We've had some p

Indeed, seems like an odd complaint considering the existing application is just ZUL, so isn't it almost the same thing, but on FF instead?

Indeed, I decided to try it out (having never used it before) and was very impressed. Historically my flight booking priorities were pretty much 100% price related, but now they're a combination of price and duration. Alas most sites o

As soon as I read this I assumed it was as a libel prevention method. I'd be curious whether Gitlab/hub could be held responsible for proving the accuracy of the claims? (That was my initial assumption as to the reason they were t

It all depends on what you're doing... But, we had a situation where we had a "user_meta" equivalent, but wanted to support different data types (and even possibly nested data) using JSONB allowed for simple modelling of some

True.... But... I quite like the theory that a developer has spent time (whilst not under much pressure) analysing crashes and potential crash scenarios, and programming to accommodate; rather than me trying to make a good-and-safe decision

I've always been interested in a service like this but whenever I discuss it with anyone it's always felt hard to get past the "but what about someone using it for drug muling" issue... (There's similar service in A

Hmm... I know a few sites that do it (including Google and DDG); so I guess some people feel it's the best way to do it? Edit: Ping doesn't look to be in the HTML5 spec anymore, maybe that's got something to do with it? http

From a tracking perspective, I'm not (particularly) fussed by it (although it's not my favourite if it's not anonymised); but when I can actively see the bounce address before it starts loading the destination page I find it

I know of some of those sites that randomise the location of keys and then hide the key labels on mousedown, I assume to try and avert that issue. (Curious as to whether it would actually work though.)

Anyone want to start a Kickstarter/Indiegogo to do something similar? (Eg, raise money and use it to buy debt and do nothing with it) I'd back it :-)

I don't _think_ the hardware's changed? My thought would be to try a btrfs balance (can be done through one of the menus); or trying to free some space from the internal storage. It made a large difference in how the performance f

Very surprised, I hadn't anticipated this happening. (Irrationally excited too.) I'd assumed that after the tablet fiasco that Jolla wouldn't be doing any hardware for a long time. (I'm not personally grumpy in any way,
