20 years ago we had the "this site works best in Internet Explorer" buttons on way too many sites. Plus ça change... That said, the site works just fine in Firefox, Edge and even IE11 too. So, if anything, the message is a sign of

You'd get to a certain point where there's a room with an NPC. It's impossible to get out of the room (too high to jump, you don't have the ability to fly yet). The NPC tells you that you're missing an important ite

Having lived in Brunei, culturally very similar to Singapore, I know a thing about this. I was a kid at the time and we had an "amah" and her family living in our house (or rather, in the servants' quarters on the ground floo

It may be small potatoes, but I'm voting with my wallet by upgrading my Cloudflare account from free to paid. Not because I need the additional features, but to support this fight.

38, and it's pretty much the only thing I'm any good at. I work about 30 hours per week at the office, and do the rest at home or in the weekend. Some weeks that means I work only 30 hours, other weeks it can be 80+ hours. There&#

Worrying about the ME and my dislike of secure boot is what has kept me from upgrading beyond the Core 2 Duo with BIOS. It's starting to feel slow now, but I still don't feel I can upgrade unless there is at least a way to disable

I actually really like many of the blogs at Microsoft. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there's some gems in there. Raymond Chen's blog[1] in particular was good enough to get me to buy his book (which definitely did not disapp

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I only use Mac OS at work, though, where my needs are a little different. In the documentation for MailMate, I don't see the kind of filtering that I use with Pegasus Mail. This is one of the things I m

by shdon 9y ago
Heh, I still use Pegasus as my primary email client. Not so much because I really like it (though I can't say that I dislike it, as I've gotten used to it in the past 21 years), but mostly because I haven't found any other em

I get why they do this and it'll probably work out fine, but for me personally, it's going to mean I will rate a lot fewer movies/shows. In the past, I've rated pretty much every single thing I've ever watched on Ne

Mine only shows "American" on Firefox, plenty of other languages on Chrome, both on Windows 10. Why the discrepancy?

You've got the description for the "ins" element the same as for the (admittedly related) "del" element.

Yes, they will mix sprites at different resolutions. Ron has stated multiple times that it is possible to enable a "true" low resolution mode, to the point where he'll get quite grumpy if you bring it up on the comments. He&#

That's a pretty scary story. Kudos to Kiminki for recognising it in time. For once, I have to admit this is one I might have fallen for (if I had an iPhone, that is).

No, the regex was an actual trim. And they have indeed switched to that. The edge case that caused the slow performance was a lot of whitespace that did not appear at the start or end of the string. The regex would not remove that, nor woul

Which also wouldn't have been caught by the regex, because it was designed to do the same as Trim. Given the input, all that whitespace was not actually supposed to be removed and the regex worked, it was just a degenerate case that sl

"down across Europe" seems a bit of an overstatement. Not having any problems with any CF-dependent sites from here in the Netherlands. It also seems from the status page that only Moscow is currently being rerouted. It could be t

I think you underestimate yourself. Or overestimate other people :) There are plenty of uninteresting or non-useful comments posted everywhere, including on HN. Yours in this thread are both interesting and useful.

DelaneyM, your posts here, especially when combined, would make a pretty compelling article in their own right. Please consider writing them into a blog post and submit that to HN as well.

Ok, that is scary enough. If Windows and Samba are both affected, it might be something to do with the SMB protocol itself. But is it also a critical issue if SMB is not accessible from the outside world (i.e. LAN only)?

I'm all for clear and concise documentation, and can appreciate the technical merit of this approach. On the other hand, some of the examples they give horrify me. In many cases, added words or synonyms make a text more readable. I mig

That latter bit is actually so common that Windows was changed to accommodate it, as Raymond Chen wrote at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20031216-00/?p=...
