Surely it's one of the most popular errors too. I've always thought something like a traceroute that shows the blockage (like how CloudFront does when an origin server goes down).

I haven't tried out Turbolinks yet, however wouldn't the developer implementing Turbolinks make sure they don't have a progress bar along the top for another purpose first? I think users would understand it is a loading bar a

This reminds me so much of high school and university physics tests - the hardest part was guessing the level the teacher was thinking at and answering accordingly (or covering all bases with conditionals if possible). I feel this issue com

Poweramp [1] has a really nice UI (even with an ugly website) and properly refreshes when new music is added to the filesystem. I wrote some code [2] to rsync my music from iTunes to my Android phone over wifi as I got sick of all the buggy

Would this method work for GTFS Bus routes? I'm also keen to port it to Sydney's train network as we have GTFS and GTFS realtime! GTFS realtime is a lot of fun, I built a simple JSON real time API for Sydney buses which could be e

I'm not sure about that that argument - in the same way you could argue below minimum wage work is okay because unemployment (or the alternative) is worse.

In what way does the UK talk about WW1/WWII? In Australia the Anzac story seems to be pushed harder and harder every year.

Thanks for the incredible description. I only went to a Montessori school for preschool, however I was lucky enough that I was in a Steiner school up to year 9. While both alternative curriculums they seem very different.

Is that because buses stop more frequently, and so don't lend their routes to geographically simplified schematics as well as trains? What do you think would be the perfect bus route map design? I'm really interested in this!

This is an incredible fleshing out of similar thoughts I've had for a while, thanks! Even just simple 'sharing' things get to me: I want to get a huge bunch of files from my computer to a friend. For semi frequent transfers I

I find sketching schematics for hardware is a lot more natural than sketching UML, and they're super helpful for making sense of a rat's nest of wires. I can't recommend them enough! I'm a big fan of using paper, it&#x27

Travelling to SFMOMA (from Sydney) I came across the Lumio books and I found them absolutely gorgeous. As a poor college student the price was very steep though. That article definitely inspired me to have a crack at making my own! An open-

True, but if we built any other sort of infrastructure (water, sewage, electicity) that operated at above over 100% capacity from day one, wouldn't we consider a solution with more capacity? With the light rail already blowing out as o

When I lived in Canberra a year ago I noticed some backed up traffic in peak time near EPIC - however I realised there was only one car lane in each direction, and one bus lane in each direction. I don't agree that we should always bui

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, one-third of buses will still be required when the light rail starts operating in 2019 due to insufficient capacity, rising to 80% of current buses by 2031! http://www.smh.com.au/nsw&#
