Leave would probably never have won if the ballot paper specified leaving the single market, either. It might also not have won if the ballot paper had said "leaving will provide no extra money for the NHS, actually probably less money

Didn't know that - thanks! You can get answers on so many topics on HN...

Interesting. Thanks for the links. I have indeed had some pound coins which were tatty round the edges and had to be pushed through a self-service checkout several times or wouldn't even go through at all. I still hadn't realised

"it was clear that remaining in the single market would not have delivered the majority of leavers wishes" Well, with a 52:48 majority for leave and with almost all Remain voters probably preferring "soft" to "hard&

I'll take the mangled words over the new version, where Google shows you a variety of photos and you have to pick which ones belong to a category. Does a sweet pastry count as a cake? Is this stretch of water a river, a lake or the sea

No accidental source code as far as I know, but if they're collecting magazine CDs in general I have a bunch of mid-90s cover CDs which I'd be happy to rip. (Sadly not the one coverdisc I'd really love to be reunited with, th

I'm very interested to see what comes next too! Please do post about any future uploads to HN.

I used to go through all the folders on my magazine cover CDs looking for interesting stuff - mostly game assets in formats I knew how to play with outside the game, like MOD files, sound files, images, but I found a file of emails to/

An interesting read. I was just wondering what Moriarty had done since Loom, something the article doesn't mention (presumably saved for the future article it hints will feature his exit from the industry), so thanks for a peek into hi

I had that book. Very weird and trippy to my pre-teen mind. After many, many readings, both legitimate play-throughs and cheating flip-throughs, I don't think I realised what the article points out.

Are these standard keys for some other piece of music software? I keep getting confused because I'm so used to the old-style tracker keys (I keep hitting J for Bb and getting B, which isn't helping my C minor improv). Also one oct

While also convincing the parents that all their and their children's worries can be fixed by doing whatever the 0.1% wants and that they should call anyone who disagrees an out-of-touch metropolitan elite, even/especially those n

I was wondering that too. For something like this maximum room for future expansion seems good. In the past I've used mITX to build low-power, low-noise machines, rather than building a high-powered processing beast. On the other hand,

Is there a way to add the recommendations for an artist/track to the stream playlist? i.e. if I search for an artist and press play on one of their tracks and let the stream keep playing it goes onto other tracks by that artist, but is

What sounds are the Bose good and bad at filtering out? In my office I am driven mad by things like one guy's thunderous typing and another guy who slams his mouse around his desk and generally rattles and clonks things around a lot. I

I had the opposite problem recently: how can they know that things are not malware? My dad complained that his laptop would pop up "strange pictures" and ask if he "liked what he saw" and that they kept coming up even th

I grew up with these books! And 80s computer magazines too (UK Spectrum mags in my case though, but also C&VG). Thanks for the links. I loved to get Usborne books as presents or go to the library every week to see if they had any new on

Inspired by other Oracle-bought products, perhaps they can make it so you can only update your DNS if you use their proprietary Java client, which uses an out-of-support version of Java even though Oracle own Java, and which tries to instal

I like the last paragraph of the review, presumably quoted from the conclusion of the book, which I'll look out for. I think if shyness does not cure itself with age it can harden into "being anti-social", as with the quotes

Aha, sorry, not the same calculator then (the slimline one with the power pulsing was the Executive). Great writeup, thanks.

If this old favourite from my Win3.x days runs, I'll be delighted: http://telcontar.net/Misc/LavaLamp/ (will try some of the suggestions in this comments thread too - thanks!)

Yes. I grew up with a ZX Spectrum which I loved dearly, so it pains me to say it, but Sinclair didn't really deserve to be "titans". Their machines were kludges with corners cut, pre-order money taken from the public when the

I'm not sure ducking out of fishing regulation is good for any marine ecosystems. If British fishermen weren't getting the best deal out of EU fishing quotas, then it can't have helped that the British representative on the E

I feel your pain. We have a lot of ID values with leading zeroes, which Excel loves to strip, and data with numbers in parentheses, which Excel's CSV loader thinks should be negative numbers (this is apparently common in book-keeping).

I've thought that before but every time I've named important ranges I've come to regret it. Someone at some time will decide to nuke an entire worksheet and paste it back in without the named ranges, and then everything will

I had no idea SVG filters were powerful enough to do things like that cool blobbing-together effect... in 3 lines of actual filter! (lines 8-10 of the html) (I haven't actually followed along with building my own, nor do I know SVG, so

Interesting. I'm currently reading Oliver Sacks' "The Mind's Eye", which includes a few cases of alexia. A good read if you'd like more stories about this and you like Sacks' style.
