It's one-indexed, counting that actual pages in the PDF. The nominal page numbers (as seen on the header/footer) are often different since you don't typically number title pages and the like, which is called "front matt

Why not move it to the left of the title, just like in the sidebar?

I tried to click on the gear icon, thinking it was settings menu. It's not very clear that it's an icon associated with the post.

For people, in person, this is true. But don't make this mistake for apps and websites. Just because you've managed to hook users with skinner box dopamine hits doesn't mean they love you.

Preserving the ISS is a lofty goal, but the costs of doing anything in space are enormous. Anyone got some ballpark estimations for the proposed solutions?

It's showing you both PDFs overlaid on each other. The main window looks blurry because the main text has shifted vertically slightly. The regions that have changes are highlighted in the thumbnails on the left. I agree it's not

On my initial reading, it sounded like they had modified the wiring on the gate itself, which would be more alarming. Now that you mention it, it does sound like they might have instead accessed wiring within their own unit. I’m used to acc

It’s weird that in this entire article, it doesn’t actually say which nation launched Starfish Prime.

You added your own automated control to your shared apartment buildings main gate? And your landlord agreed to this? I mean, I hope you got their permission…

The graphics are mostly for atmosphere, the main focus is paragraphs of prose that describe the story and what happens to the main characters. Instead of a parser, you tap to choose one of several choices at each decision point, and you ca

It’s barely mentioned aside from the title, but I just wanted to say that 80 Days is a really wonderful game that is well worth your time if you’re into text-based games. It’s more of an interactive story than a puzzle game, with some light
