Once you account for the initial purchase price, insurance, fuel, maintenance, and parking, $10K/year on average is probably an under estimate. That doesn't even account for increased costs created by auto-centric development, wh

Basically all of them, I predict. Cycling in and of itself is extremely safe. It's only when you force cyclists onto busy city streets in the same space as fast-moving cars that cycling becomes dangerous. Put another way, cars kill peo

In this analogy, Tesla is BlackBerry, right? BlackBerry was one of the first usable smartphones, developed a huge market share by doing their own quirky thing, then a bunch of new upstarts (Apple, Samsung, etc.) come onto the scene and eat

No, it's because there's not enough room to counter-turn to shift your balance.

It's just a position:fixed sidebar and header. The root element is still the scroll container so you can drag anywhere.

> In fairness how many languages have letters that are always pronounced the same regardless of context? Finnish does. But the Finnish language only gained a writing system in common usage relatively recently, in the 1800s.

URLs won't get linkified in code blocks. If you want people to click them I suggest that you convert them back to normal text (delete the spaces at the start of the line).

One huge downside of iA Writer (at least on Android) is the inability to change the font. It's permanently set to a rather ugly and completely unsuitable monospaced font that resembles Courier New. This among all other features is wh

Stuff like cucumbers, yes, because otherwise they would have much too short of a shelf life. Otherwise I don't think I've ever seen individual fruits or vegetables wrapped in plastic here in Canada, and I didn't think that gr

I don't know if they've fixed this, but it used to be that the pointer target was inside the black border, not at the actual tip of the pointer. That's not really a problem if the pointer is at the default tiny size, but wh

My point is that you would likely lose the same weight no matter what you ate, as long as you didn't overeat. There's nothing special about whipped cream, ground beef, and tomatoes. If you started at 290 lb (wild assumption) while

Ah, I see why you disagree: if I'd read to the end of the article I would have seen that you are trying to push your own fad diet. Whipped cream for dinner? No thanks. [1] People overeat because they've developed habits and routin

I think you might be overthinking it? I didn't read your whole rant that you linked, but calories in = calories out (CICO) is simply a tool to teach people that losing weight is not about following complicated fad diets trying to sell

Can you clarify what you mean by "losing fat with a deficit"? Isn't eating less than you use the only way to lose weight, apart from surgery?

It's the size of the page. You can never replicate holding up a huge newspaper sheet with a digital screen. I really miss physical newspapers.

HN uses light grey text in certain applications to intentionally make it harder to read. For text submissions, it's to discourage their use over link submissions. It's a mistake, in my opinion, but it's been like that from th

If it's a static colour, sure. But if it's set by the user with a colour picker, that doesn't really work.

The proposed color-contrast() function in the CSS Color Module Level 6[1] will make solving this problem a lot easier. Rather than doing some messy, complicated calculations on individual color component values, this new function will allow

Any web designer with any degree of training in typography and text layout will recognize this as a problem. It's just that there's almost nothing we could do about it without CSS support, so everyone was forced to simply accept i

Such is life. Everyone has their own lives to deal with that they can't be bothered with old stories. That's why I'm so glad my grandfather wrote a book about his life when he was in his late 60s. You'd think it would be

I didn't. I meant to put a blank line between them so they would be in different paragraphs, but it only wraps to a second line on small screens. On the desktop they show on one line.

How would that work with dirt roads? It seems like the filter would get clogged in no time at all.

That's why variable-speed scroll compressors are great.
