Oh yes, the 3MB click bait news article with practically zero content. To think you used to be able to fit an encyclopaedia on a floppy disk!

Article missed loads. Like the fact that a h1 would pretty much take up all the screen real estate back then because 800x600px resolution was luxurious back in the day. So no one used h1,h2 etc. They just bolded text instead for headings

I know a few people that never install apps on their phones. Because they have no clue re: security, whether the app has access to this or that or whatever. I spoke to a family member and he says to me I've got this bus app for route

I haven't a smart phone, but I did try Win 10, and have a Win 8.1 machine kicking about. I don't use either much. But what I do struggle with, is finding apps. Under Linux, my Applications Menu at least groups by category, and

Periodically I keep coming back to HN to pretty much say the same thing. Which is that tabs are used as a replacement for bookmarks. And that's pretty much because of the failing of a good browser bookmark UI. I've tried many t

I'm in the UK, and recently tried to make sense of my water bill as I've a change in how our waste is managed. We are off the sewer network with about 50 houses with a treatment works. An annual water bill from average figures fo
