eh, unfortunately it's not today's work that's impacted (beyond wasting some time), but this weekend's, which I thought I had wonderfully set up, taking advantage of time whilst my family's away.

It's been a fun day for me today - my bank here in the UK suffered downtime which not only affected the app and online banking, but also online and possibly offline payments too. I was glad when it finally came back on, after four hour

I find there's a certain flavour of Scot that's quite gesticulative - I know that I'm one. My partner's Italian and I guess my gesticulation's ramped up since we've been together because when I watched footage

Yet the same skill that leads to perfect flatness then also leads to being able to make something look organic and natural, should they so wish. It's about honing ability and competence.

Funny, I'm reading this as very dry, tongue-in-cheek humour.

Define 'logically organised' in the context of 'a creative' using a piece of software? Back in the Mac vs. PC days, people would argue themselves blue in the face about which system was the 'more logical' with

er.. no - I've been a daily user of Photoshop since '98 or so, but after getting annoyed with Adobe's subscription model a few years back I bought Affinity Photo and looked to move over entirely to that, yet I ended up back i

egh, as much as I enjoyed his Dogme 95 fayre when I was young and far more self-important, I find his later 'big cinema' output turgid twaddle. Melancholia was just about bareable but from Mandalay onwards I could barely struggle

The origin of 'dark DNA' begins to make more sense through this sort of lens, except the system somehow maintained a level of compensation to fix all its flaws.

It's hard to believe, and I repeatedly said as much to people who thought as much prior to the vote who 'pfffd' me in response, and yet here we are. The right to vote on fundamental societal issues should come with some sort

It is? Or is it just a pragmatic dislike?

Posts like this are why I read HN comments first. Posts like this remind we how much better it is to be as part of a large trading bloc to be able to easily order/sample these sort of things, rather than it likely being a pain in the a

So weird for me to see this popup now on HN as I happened to dig through an old downloads folder a few minutes ago and saw an install file for Pepakura (13/11/2014), and wondered where that sort of thing had ended up... .

I'm actually a designer, have paid for many fonts - including licenses for websites - have made a couple myself and have a good idea how hard they are to make. That said, a certain corporation's bought up a load of fonts made over

Out of interest, did you rename the font prior to use? I'm curious how they found it. You can also just stick them in a font-editor and re-export "as your own font" with some minor tweaks. Not that you should, of course.

For some reason I had it in mind that growing tobacco was illegal in the UK, so your post prompted me to check and lo! Apparently it's entirely legal, for personal use. So now I have a new project - I've always wanted to smoke &#x

No, we had some antique brass bucket thing that I'd invariably have to drag in, accompanied by complaints that I was doing so, because obviously I'd put way too much in, so I didn't have to go out later to get more...

Thank you both for the imagery here - quite beautiful, in its way. This has made me remember having to go out to the coal shed and fill up a brass bucket and then come back in all covered in coal dust. I've not thought about That Smell

I bought such a thing for my daughter and it's great fun but this old codger will never cease to be amazed at how much tech is available for such a small amount of money - the digital camera functions normally, takes video too, the sys

Don't these integrated ARM-based SoCs make much better use of RAM as opposed to old Intel-based boards? That's my understanding, anyway.

And it's barely even March. Not even a Long March. Just to entirely mix metaphors.

Reddit is deteriorating every day like China's economic model is ever-closer to collapse each day - oft-repeated claims that become ever harder to believe when they've been trotted out, on the daily, for fifteen years whilst seemi

I use AI as a stock art/asset replacement. I'm old-fashioned so I still Photoshop it all together, but that's my use case here.

It's ok, many flights from Europe are on budget carriers that require the installation of their app in place of printed boarding passes, so this isn't really an issue. /s igned someone very much opposed to having to install a

You joke, but the more I learn about Mussolini, the more I see horrid parallels with Trump.

Excellent, thanks. I don't quite know what this is - it's a new concept, to me, at least - but it's pressing some good buttons in my head. I just realised, after testing that I'd inadvertently gine a bit too close to hom

I walk around North London a lot and after a recent day of various hijinx involving careless drivers, I looked into bodycams with an eye to just having one run as I walk around to capture the various dangerous transgressions and then report
