This doesn't even make sense anymore. Is it not permissible to be critical? Can one even be critical without getting downvoted? Perhaps that is now the new barometer of success. Heck, most of us are talking about "document your failure" or

I'm not so sure anymore. My industry is being saturated by Helvetica-designers and people with absolutely no background in traditional design, and who have absolutely no design sensitivity for accessibility; and who fear risk because it has

It's tough getting dyslexic fonts to render happily across all platforms. Mind providing a bit more insight? I know that Chrome/Windows has problems when font-smoothing: antialiased; is not set. So at the same time, please bear the experime

This severely affects the emotionality of information I receive. The aesthetics of one's environment, I believe, is significant to how information will be processed. At first I noticed headaches after reading, using f.lux, but soon after I

I'm not so sure this advice is generally applicable. At the same time, I understand the author probably doesn't mean for it to be, but maybe that is a problem with the inherent vagueness of language. I don't care to do philosophy of languag

I genuinely believe their findings do not apply to me; or, to say the least, that I am a statistical outlier. There are still trolls out there, alive and linguisizing.

I'm sure there's tons of academic literature riddled with ad hoc <code> block usage and strange deviations from standard markup. This thing is great.

Brilliant. Given the data set, this appears somewhat intelligent, since more theoretical computer science problems may simply result in something like "advice" rather than code blocks. $ howdoi mvp pattern $ howdoi wittgenstein $ howdoi hop

Been reading in http://antijingoist.github.com/AlphaSymbolic/ . I'm not exactly sure what the best strategy is for applying AS to programming languages since it has no "uppercase" glyphs.

I'm not saying I have paranormal abilities. I'm saying I have empathic abilities, and these can be explained by science. Speech Imitation is a matter of one's frontal lobe processing too much information, and that information becomes immedi

I can highly accurately imitate a person in real-time as they speak. It's "empathic"; as I understand it, it really is just reading body movements and reading the person. However, I can also maintain focus on a multitude of sound stimuli su

That's why I am now here. I'm starting with bringing dyslexic fonts to peoples' awareness (my blog is always rendered in Eulexia), and then moving on to building dragons ( http://nerdfiles.net/rattelyr-dragon/ ).

Yes. At the same time, I'm only recently discovered some of them. For instance, the speech imitation ability can be spontaneously triggered. Sometimes I find myself running from a social situation because once I think about the ability, I b

I can perform various minor psionic tasks. Most shocking of them is the ability to imitate speech; sometimes it is outside of my control because it is of an empathic nature.

Eh. I've been using magnets to mitigate PTSD and other persistent pains. LSD and shrooms have been instrumental in the development of many of my psionic abilities. It wasn't until I tripped methylone that I realized that I probably shouldn'

If type and glyphs are the building blocks of the new OpenSemanticWeb3.0 megafad, then does that mean dyslexics and ilk will go jobless? All of these sexycoolfun new Web apps, and you're still bombarding me with tiny fonts and variants of H

1. For one, when viewing HTML source, it's cleaner. I feel more confident that I'm supplying a minimum viable product. 2. The HTML document payload is smaller (and this is a feature-to-scale). 3. The same basis behind SASS's "placeholder" a

Agreed. I took the Neat approach months ago, and it has been incredibly rewarding. Here's a brief, easily repeatable example of a lightweight grid system with [optional] @class handles: http://snipplr.com/view/68642/simple-grid-system-in-s

A physical copy of the 3.5 "Player's Handbook", Forgotten Realms supplementary literature, and likely all the literature on Psionics. Welcome to Modern D20 with tinges of Tolkien. Maybe pepper in Neal Stephensen. Read up.

And really, you nerds write like robots all day. I have to put up with that, and I cannot use expressive language? You address none of my claims; the response I get is "butthurt." What is this? That is what I am asking. Right now. This conv
