As an aside, the NHS website is an absolute joy to use. From the legibility of the type to the navigation, also the style of writing is generally top notch IMHO. Regarding the design, I remember when Google products gave me a similar feelin

Introduce the project like this "Debucsser, CSS debugging made easy" (pronounced de-buk-sir) better yet (or not) You could find someone to draw a little cartoon in the style of the New Yorker showing a herd of deer, one of them wi

Perhaps it's the subject matter that has driven the site design towards a paler pastel colour palette, but I find it quite pleasing to the eye. Although I do wonder about accessibility. Some of the lighter colours don't pass WCAG

I don't look at Yak shaving any differently than a normal feature/bug workflow. If something crops up during development or fire-fighting I will make a note and continue on with what I was doing. Later, the notes get written up in

Google's use of gvt1.com had me convinced for the longest time that I was backdoor'd by some unknown branch of the government that was either not bright enough to cover their tracks or ballsy enough to just say "yea, it'

I'm not meaning to take away anything from this announcement, which I think is great. But what options are there for collaborative coding in Sublime? (I don't use Atom) Having tried Floobits, the experience was ok. But I do a lot

I love stories like this. I've heard that software brains love complexity and tend towards complex solutions when given half a chance. But after you've been burnt too many times with unmaintainable systems, the long piece of strin

In a previous job I worked as QA supervisor for a medial robotic company. The job entailed maintaining a 1000 page spiral-bound testing manual which could be given to anyone from an intern to a senior programmer. A slightly cut-down version

Yes of course, as that was the purpose of this trial. Increase the cost (in time and convenience) for drivers, therefore reducing the demand to use this particular route by car. In turn it increases demand for people using other modes of tr

I found that strange, but not for accessibility reasons. What possible purpose could this serve? I'm a full-time web developer and have never heard of this feature, not can I think of a single instance where I would want to use it. (Al

"people have fell in love with their branding as well" This is what I struggle with understanding. Maybe it's because I'm from a "slightly" older generation. But I've watched my younger colleagues one afte

But I want to get to the footer where I’m pretty sure the contact details are. Not sure how you can design around that. I mean, you can try. My example was just one of many. But you’ll never change the expectations of users who have been co

It’s kind of ironic that if there is a lot of interest (comments) in this project that it will fall off the front page. But not on Hacker News itself. Only on the project page itself.

Thanks for the clarification. I've re-read this headline a dozen times and it finally makes sense. By removing the phrase "that hacked fliers" you're left with "Suspect code 'found'". Which is the cor

From my window (if there wasn't a house in the way) I could see an Amazon Locker. THAT is why Amazon is winning - for me at least. They've solved a problem that makes up for the increased prices. The fact that I don't have to

Genuine question... Why the scare quotes around the word "found"? I'm assuming "hacked fliers" refers to the people who had their details stolen. So how exactly did they "find" the "suspect code"

If the only thing you got from "Clean code" is Don't Repeat Yourself then I highly suggest reading it again. (IIRC the DRY principle comes from "The Pragmatic Programmer" and not "Clean code", but it is re

Surely the level of “work ethic” is something you have and it doesn’t change based on the number of hours you spend exercising that. Say for instance he had an ethic score of 95% - whatever that is - wouldn’t he apply that same drive for 35

I was quite pleased with your analogy! But perhaps I misunderstood. I was reading the subtext as a very clever dig at the "hashtag generation" by likening their preferred method of communication (140 character thought bubbles, txt

This is quite funny. Not the website itself, but the comments on here. And it proves the point so well! The website in question is a seemingly obviously quick project that someone whipped up quickly on the hatchapps website. But almost all

More like selling those silly clip-on beards and a plastic spade so you can look like an olde-tyme prospector, but not actually give you any skills or leverage.

But wouldn't that imply that the "daring, thing-breaking" people are actually incompetent to some degree? Otherwise they would mitigate the risk before performing any dangerous operations on a live system. "Bravado is no

There is a reference to django.css in the source, assuming you meant the style. As the blogging engine wouldn't necessarily dictate the cleanliness of the look.
