Most if not all UK government websites I've seen have really good design, to the point where I consider them some of the best-designed websites ever. It always blows my mind.

Same. My last name is 11 characters which is a little long but not that crazy, and my first and middle name are extremely common English names, and yet I can't often fit my full name in places that need it. Usually the issue is on pape

I think you _could_ reclaim your own domain if you wanted. You'd want to have a banner at the top with a clear note directing people to the new domain for the compiler explorer, so that people realize immediately that you're not d

Pretty good summary, though I'd add that it's also (probably) more stable than a lot of common home routers.

Not nearly as well known as Ansel Adams, though. Especially among people interested in photography.

If you adjust the size of the paper, it can be true no matter how many or few parts there are.

Happens to me too sometimes, and I was even involved in the scene back in the 90s.

I'm not sure I see the difference in curation between a webring and a "other cool sites" list, except that in the webring case there needs to be a central curator across several sites, so it's effectively just a single p

I always found plenty of interesting websites without needing to use webrings, often from sites with a list of "other sites about [whatever this site is about]" or just "other cool websites". Such personally curated list

My takeaway from the article was that most of that gear either wasn't necessary or was only necessary because of Apple's specific self-imposed production requirements. And also due to the fact that they just hired a production tea

I under stand the flipping. But the last line (as written) wouldn't be read correctly, so the commenting out of `;0 = gubed` would never close. I think another commenter figured it out, and the last line would need to be on a separate

That's what was tripping me up. I thought the last line was on the same card, so the close of the comment wouldn't be read correctly.

I think I understand how your punch card trick worked for the most part, but how'd the last line work?

Isn't this something you can just configure at the server level, so you don't need to have your files be extensionless? I could swear I've done that before in apache.

That's not how chargebacks work at all in my experience, from the point of view of the company getting charged-back. I worked for a indie small retail store that also sells online, and I was the guy the owner would give the chargeback

Indeed. This is why I figured I'm probably not the target audience. Reviewing and editing is a huge part of technical writing (along with having a window open for what you're writing about), at least the way I do it.

Thanks for sharing this. I know different people think differently, but I hadn't even considered ADHD.

Thanks zverok. This helped me under stand pattern matching in Ruby better than any other articles I've read on the subject. I still don't really like it in Ruby (for some of the reasons pointed out in Irks And Quirks in this artic

The desire/need for focused writing apps has always baffled me, but then again I'm probably not the target audience for such an app. I do some technical writing and some non-technical blogging, and have never felt impeded by just

Everyone is biased. There are no perfectly unbiased opinions. And "having a bias" is not the same thing as astroturfing.

by joemi 3y ago
Just because some people's opinions differ from yours doesn't mean astroturfing is at play.

Businesses always need to grow in order to deal with ever-increasing costs of running the business. (Rent hardly ever goes down, salaries hardly every go down, costs of services hardly every go down, etc etc.) There are only so many ways on

I think it's clear that they meant "profit" instead of "margin" from the context of the previous paragraph and the rest of the paragraph that your excerpt is from.

Indeed. Searching for phrases like that are exactly why he got some many not-just-for-the-hell-of-it hits. The people who are most in need of ideas about what to blog about are those that are doing it just because they heard their company&#

True, though the better a camera is, the easier it is to take better shots. For instance, if you've only used point-and-shoot cameras and phone cameras, then you try out a nice pro-sumer or pro DSLR, it's amazing how much better y

While I agree with what you say and it's a worthwhile point to make, it's still notable when a tool can be used in such a way by an artist. Wu could have taken amazing photos with an iPhone 1, but he (most likely) couldn't ha

I always understood it to stand for for "The Full Article", as in not just the title and not just any quoted excerpts (since Slashdot and some other sites it's used on have excerpts).
