Is it okay if what I liked the most in your article is your table full or stickers?

In all seriousness, I've worked for many years for a company that had as a feature to help clients build knowledge bases. Most of it was done by copy/pasting Word documents into a web page. Keeping formatting was our #1 requested

Many users, and maybe most outside HN, either: * don't care about the misformatting * actually want the red font and underlining from the web page they're copying from.

You won't get me to call Pangaea "early America". So typical of American imperialism. Only second to the Brits. ;)

I'm surprised that hash parameters are not mentioned to store state. They have many advantages that (for the kind of apps I do) work pretty well: * they are not sent to the server * hence, the URL size limit is that of the browser, not

It's a rule of thumb that your total debt should not exceed 1/3 of your income. It has no economic foundations whatsoever. Yet, banking institutions use(d?) this rule to reject whatever application they were not comfortable with.

> It's up to the website to choose how navigation works Yes, and they should live by their choice and implement whatever is implied by their semantics. URLs also have their own affordances and I expect to be able to act upon them.

A poor exemple doesn't make for a poor argument. I like hierarchical URLs because they allow me to try and find more content by stripping the end of the URL fo see what is up the hierarchy.

Any european passport is a golden ticket. I was born in Europe and only as an adult with friends from around the world did I realise that. I feel so blessed.

Shifting responsibility to the individuals is not a new strategy. They may market it like they're concerned but I won't be surprised to see the companies take it to their advantage soon enough.

Perhaps Minecraft = LEGO - merchandise? The difference being that since Lego was here well before, so Minecraft should be defined from Lego, not the other way around.

Seeing the customers bring their garments alongside their story was beautiful. They don't just get their clothes repaired, they get their memories alive, they care for the past events, good or bad. The father and daughter team in fact

I will have to try it to believe it, but I agree there's a certain appeal to having a condensed version of the contents for less, so you can get the meat of the book, while you can get all the details and references and documentation

That doesn't invalidate GP's comment. Even if you struggle, having a little commitment every day helps building habits and actually relieves the struggle (because a habit creates familiarity and ease). The "we're all dif

To relate the practice of software engineering to cooking is very fruitful. At least when it comes to a ssmall-ish feature. For larger systems, the typical aechitecture/urbanism analogy is probably more suitable. Nevertheless, I will r

I'm saying that Copernicus wrote _de revolutionibus_ in 1543 and its contents were globally accepted not before around the 1700s. So anyone in that timeframe were looking at the state of science with their best mind and rightfully ques

certainly you should ask Copernicus or Darwin if their hypothesis and experimentations were enough to reach consensus in the scientific community of their times. They were right eventually, but they were very controversial and their ideas s
