I indent religiously, and I comment, but I use a lot of static site generator-type software and I've yet to find one that doesn't completely ruin the indentation in the output, even with the various kinds of HTML-prettify plugins.

She said something about Mark I being the first such computer in the United States, but I think the gist is true anyway, that people employed at least in the practical aspects of computing at that time were learning a lot as they went along

"How did you know so much about computers then?" "I didn't. It was the first one." Brilliant.

eBook lending licenses as brokered by the companies that provide this service to libraries (e.g. Overdrive) usually restrict the number of "copies" of an eBook that can be loaned at one time, and patrons often have to put themselv

The biggest problem with this I see (beyond the general creepiness of it and the huge impression I get that this is less about privacy and more about wanting to preemptively micromanage your kid’s potential future “brand”) is the futility o

A teenager in (again) Virginia was shot and killed by an off-duty cop working as a security guard who thought he (the teen) would hit him with a car after the kid stole pancakes. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con

"[S]omething bigger..." eh? That's conveniently non-specific. All I can do is echo the other comments, that regardless of whether or not something "bigger" is going on, the response is absolutely disproportionate, a

I can't recall ever being in a car with power windows that would work with the car completely turned off (key out of the ignition). You can turn the key backward or partially forward in most cars just to engage the battery and operate

I don't think it was a typo. Shouting usually comes before shooting.

Are there any decent alternatives to the Facebook/Messenger apps for the iPhone?

As I understand it, "subvocalization" usually refers to the voice in your head that you experience when you read, so the parent post may have been actually making this claim, albeit inadvertently.

I had the same question but was too embarrassed to ask. Thanks for doing it for me. :)

Huge YMMV on this one, obviously. I don't feel particularly moved to believe that you can know whether or not you're having more fun than someone else and "getting more memories" out of an occasion because you forgo the chore of taking phot

Assuming the declaration is true, great job! There's a "but", though: I get a (rather ugly) 404 error if I click on my state without selecting a country first. It wasn't obvious to me that I had to select United States in the first dropdown

Nope, Windows Vista. FF Nightly also moves forward and back in the history with Shift + Scroll Wheel. Chrome Canary does what you say, though, with horizontal scrolling.

I just did this (on FF 20) and it flipped through my history (scroll down = Back, scroll up = Forward). A heretofore unknown feature, but not the one you said it would be. ;)

Ems and percents behave differently when a user changes the browser's font size setting (which I think you only see in IE now), but are otherwise the same. Other than that the only advantage is in the fact that ems are a standard convention

That's incredible. I used to do a lot of work with Apophysis and I think I've been reinspired to start up again. What's more incredible is that it runs on my rather outdated machine. I'm so used to these Javascript-HTML5 canvas projects to

My statement wasn't based on a "reading" of anybody's announcement; I'm pretty familiar with the situation at hand and with the system. There's no optimal way to maintain separate sites for high school and collegiate questions, or any reaso

It wasn't just an honor system. There was a system of actual, albeit clearly flawed and deficient, security in place, which was exploited.

I'm getting alternating 504 and 502 errors for the main website. The server signature is "cloudflare-nginx", so it's definitely getting through, though.

I thought CurtMonash was referring to books nowadays, and I must disagree with him if he's suggesting that typesetting, book design and the quality of book production was better in the 1970s than it is today.

"(Of course, this was all in the 1970s, when what one read was black text in a familiar font in neat rows on white paper, all at least somewhat thoughtfully arranged. Things are different now ...)" Different how?

You can "subscribe" to certain products (mostly grocery items I think, in my limited purview) on Amazon. Condoms are among the products they offer, available for delivery every 1–6 months.
