Is this a late April fool's joke? In Switzerland, I _can't_ buy more than ~2 [1] packages with 16 pills (500mg acetaminophen/paracetamol) at a time without a prescription from my doctor. And the biggest package size is 100, but that always

This is yesterday's afternoon project. Because I think it could be useful for someone, I decided to share it with you. Feel free to judge me for my sub-par HTML/CSS/JS skills. They are what I'm trying to hone with such projects. I should me

What do you mean by "afraid of HTML"? I haven't used this yet, so bear that in mind, but to me this seems to be something that is more expressive than html (I meant String) concatenation. That leads, in my experience, to better maintainabil

To have this said first: I really like your reader, it looks beautiful and so far it's the one that I'd most like to use. In the wake of the Announcement of Google Reader shutting down, a lot of people are gonna be wary of jumping into anot

Quote for historical purposes: An apology to open source At midnight on the 18th March 2013 I posted Chart.js online. On the morning of the 19th March, I've had to take it down due to IP concerns with my current employer. It had been my fin

You can just select "Overwrite foobar.jpg" in the menu. You can even have a keyboard shortcut for it. That should solve all you guys' troubles :) cheers

I was about to write something similar. Thanks for formulating it so eloquently. I think it's this part that trips up some people: > [...] at a minimum it unblinds the doctors on the ground. It's very important that the person administe

Okay, okay. This is enough. Both. Thanks for calling for a de-escalation, that sounds like a wonderful idea. First things first, bullying is not always conscious. You seem to imply that and I happen to believe that is not true. Someone can

This is very well written. A very interesting and verbose (not in a bad way) way of answering the everpresent question "What language should I learn?" PS: Yes, I know that not the whole discussion was about this question. Still.

TL;DR: Business as usual. The GEMA are indeed a bunch of idiots. So the video was automatically taken down because the GEMA flagged it for copyright infringement. Dotcom said "they will hear from our legal team". The Video was up again, pro

Corey did take a lot of time to apologize again and again on Twitter. I think he dealt with the situation quite well, considering the douchiness he (and the others) exhibited.

Amazing. Hat off to you, sir! I've stumbled through a few of such projects and most fell flat on their collective noses, at the latest when it came to seeking. zmusic-ng works phenomenally well. Next thing I want to try is over a slow and l

Obligation, no. But they seem to have "promised" devices and support for the CM dev team (I may have misunderstood that though.). They got the devices, but not the support. So i think it's fair enough of that guy to call them out on it. Don

On the other hand, the links have this string in them: <snip>/CS2_EOL/<snip> So maybe they decided to give it away, because it's EOL'd sooo hard. Let's see how this develops :)

His point was that the allegorical "free CS2" sign is conspicuously missing in this case. I couldn't find one either...

This is _not_ my project. I just happened to stumble upon it. This might be the vim config solution i'm sticking with. I tried a bunch over the last 2 years, but all of them seemed too heavy, especially janus. This solution seems to avoid a

The whole J - I thing is something rather European I think. Here in Europe some consider it distinguished and hip... It's of course debatable whether that validates the decision, but it might be an explanation. Kind of a back to the (typogr

I think the problem is that it's obnoxious to get rid of as soon as you don't need it anymore. There should be a Shortcut to dismiss it. (no, the Ctrl-J + Ctrl-W doesn't count. that is a workaround at best and it doesn't work when you're on

There is some "new UI" insofar as the "Keep"/"Discard" Buttons for "dangerous" files are now in the Download Window. Maybe they were talking about that... Who knows
