Could be a friendlier meow. It sounds like someone stepped on a tail.

Bitmap text can look clear as crystal on a very low pixel density display. You need a higher PPI to make anti-aliasing work on screen (finally looking nearly as nice as print).

Oh bloody hell, I never figured that out. Used to use some js for that.

Usenet with dial-up was good for this. You'd compose your reply, then look it back up, read over, amend, perhaps delete or send later. It made for more considered responses. I've noticed with HN it's very swarm-like and tra

Personally as a I cyclist, I don't intend just yet to give up cycling on roads (which are for multi-transport users). After getting munged on a separator, I also don't think they are the be and end all.

You aren't alone. I'm far better at helping others than myself. Freelancing I find tricky. I've had good management in the past alongside a team that knows how to play to my strengths and keep down my weaknesses. So don&#x2

Gutted to find that perhaps I could have been buoyed by working tax credits. That I have never claimed. Self-employment hasn't worked out for me - just left me with more and more debt. Years ago I think the LSE ran a study, that conc

This reminds me of jobstart, basically I got turfed of benefits at about the time I needed them. I kindly got a grant towards some transportation fees, if I'd go self-employed (0hrs contract, no guaranteed employment). What I really c

This feels rather personal. I'm not saying I would or would not. I'm just doing a simple comparison. For many, they probably think they are doing the cafe a favour, and getting a change of scenery and a slice of cake.

Agree. We ran a cafe (in the UK South-East) (or rather me being the kitchen hand...), started out enthusiastically with the aim to please and make and serve nice food and drink, then the realisation kicked in that selling beer and quicker

Local coworking haunt (UK) is about £20 per day or more. That equates to about 10 coffees. Or 6 coffees, 1 soup and 1 cake. Which starts to make the cafe more appealing.

We used to laugh at those that chose personalised number plates, and yet there is probably more utility in one of those than a vanity url.

Publicly guessable addresses can still be a pain like sequential numerical ones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CompuServe#User_IDs_and_e-mail...

Yep, but the motivation may be simply one of convenience. My DVD player loops the menu all night long if you happen to dose off - and it's a struggle to get up and stop it. Even selecting and starting a movie on a DVD can be a trial.

In the UK, we get three or four per hour on the most popular commercial networks. We record everything we want to watch on a Humax just so we don't have to suffer the ads, and pause for a piss, drink, or surf as and when. Or rewind pa

I love the way that the the author, skirts totally over Javascript, and yet the threads here are full of mild skirmishing. The closing paragraph is the nicest part of the article, mentioning the benefits of legibility. I never disliked the

Lots of interesting things out there. But sometimes you need a flyer pushed through your letterbox to discover them.

I used to play the game Mined-out on the Dragon 32. You have a start and an exit, and have to tread a path one square at a time travelling between, with clues about how many adjacent mines there are. To spice things up, you get a beast ch

I figure comprimising alien/userland code could well be an issue, something like Javascript in a browser.

How does 'check spelling as you type' work, via a dictionary that is previously downloaded, or is this an online service that leaks all/or some of your key presses?

Happily used to (5 years ago) surf the web with no JS and no CSS, or rather applying my own style-sheet for 90% of my web viewing. I'd fall back to Chrome when absolutely necessary. It was fast and comfortable, it just relies on well

Interesting, my prescription was out of range for contact lenses when last explored. It might be worth me getting something as best as they can get if the contact effect is beneficial.

Yup it's the finishing that is hard. I started a fun project before xmas just for kicks. But I've yet to fire up the editor and get back into the zone, and finish it. So like much of my code, it will sit around in a half finish

This is purely anecdotal. I have a bad astigmatism. I tend to not wear glasses until I have to. In the garden I don't bother. And oddly, when I do use my glasses everything becomes too much. In my mind scenery becomes unpleasantly

We were told that you had to frequently move away from a cathode ray tube, to let the radiation dissipate. Of course, this didn't happen often enough. The annoying thing about CRTs was the amount of space they took up. My eyes feel in
