Another web design site, another page that's almost impossible to read due to washed out text. Guys, do you test your sites on anything other than Macs with "retina" displays? For example, I maxed out the brightness setting on my Thinkpad x

Why wait for driverless cars when there's public transport which lets you enjoy the same benefits? Isn't it sad how pefectly fine we're with hauling 2000+ lbs of hardware just to get 150 lbs of flesh from point A to point B in the morning a

Reading this gave me chills - the symptoms of withdrawal described here are not unlike those of a heroin addict gone cold turkey. I can't imagine normal healthy people routinely taking a drug and teaching their children to take one. And yet

and hence conclude you can save time by going for the more summarised stuff. I think this is not generally a bad strategy in many subjects (business comes to mind), but mathematics is different. I agree, math books tend to be on the terse

For me, the best feature of Tcl is actually not part of the language itself. It's a tool built on top of Tcl -- Expect. Expect can be used to automate CLI tasks, but for me it is indispensable for testing programs with text-only UIs (I get

If it's a good site, it could be black and white for all I care. If it's not, a trendy design would make it only worse - now, that's something to be ashamed of, IMHO.
