I think you are blaming a slightly arcane program for what is essentially laziness of the population. Every time I read a comment on HN stating how PGP isn't usable I cry a little bit inside. GPG in no harder to use than git or many ot

I suspected that this was the case. In my opinion that means GSS is fundamentally broken and the fact that nobody thought of that kind of discredits the whole thing... The fact that 70% of "modern" websites already have the same b

I find this quite fascinating but : My browser settings include a font-size option, at least the first link's demo breaks with adjusted font sizes. (E.g. minimum font size == 15). (Theoretically) If I would report a bug against your p

Non-human? What makes you think the languages are non-human? There sure are some inhumane languages around (hehe) but have you ever tried e.g. Common Lisp? There are some very well designed languages around and their source code is as ple

I am still happily running HTTP/1.0 and didn't plan to "upgrade" ever tbh. I hope the web stays backwards compatible.

No units because its all about proportions. E.g. the bottom margin is "double" so it can accommodate page numbers and set the text body on the "horizon".

No. Try to layout a document on A4 while maintaining at least basic standard rules (e.g. lines of 8-12 words, a pretty text body layout, e.g. a "nice ratio" like 3/4 or 1/2, with standard margins, that is 1 on top, left

Are you a bookmaker? The are the ones with the problems. ;) > I have seen lots and lots of A4 books And they all have suboptimal layouts.

by mrottenkolber 12y ago
No its not. In fact its completely unrelated because when making book you should care for aspects like font size and text body layout which follow an ergonomic perspective. E.g. the same booklet layout on a3 wouldn't work at all becaus

Haha that thread is great... good old metric system.

by mrottenkolber 12y ago
I have to note that A4 (what goes in a standard printer) is just a shitty format for documents. There is no way to get a proper layout done, you basically need two columns to use a reasonable amount of space with regards to font size and

While I must agree that DMCA+GitHub is a dangerous combo that feminist programming language "project" is literally just troll bait. It's a hoax on the cost of some misguided person who literally thought that programming langu

I feel this point. I'd argue that these kids are rich even for Norwegian standards. You don't need a plane to see some stark contrasts. Just take tram 61 from Musikerviertel to Tannenbusch.[1] 1: A local (to me) tram line that lea

What I don't understand is why companies aren't held accountable for their obvious responsibilities . Google has to publicize these archives. It shouldn't be up to them if their public records are publicly accessible. I wa

This is really really impressive! The code seems exceptionally well written at a first glance. Thank you! How much of ANSI Common Lisp does it implement?

Why do you need to return 1 though? That seems pretty ridiculous.

"Asshole" is not a class of people, it's an insult. That being said I'd rather deal with a rough-edged person than listen to crap like this. If you write something down, please make sure its intellectually valuable and r

My take on this: Someone with 30 years of experience does not need a "boot camp" to learn a new language. Actually I find it quite fascinating that these programs exist and seem to be successful. If someone told me to train a prod

I guess this is similar to Quicklisp for CL packages? A stable "world snapshot" every now and then instead of rolling releases. I works pretty well in the CL world, I think this approach (releases) will become standard for package

Applause!!!! I hate Google Web Fonts for their horrible interface to OPEN SOURCE FONTS for which they don't offer download links. It should be prosecuted as a crime. What the hell Google?

How much time and risk is doing it this way worth? I will argue that the presented approach is the "right thing" (reap what you sow) and increasing the search space is the "wrong thing" (why should US companies get more
