The Polaris Slingshot is the closest "car" I can think of. They have 3 wheels and are licensed as a motorcycle, so they skirt many of these safety issues. They also cost $28k; more than a lo…

I recently started a little series of zines where the idea is to learn programming by creating art. It's a little akin to a puzzle or paint by numbers. Each issue is a type-in that produces an im…

My main problem with Google was that the entire first screen (above the fold) was full of advertising and included no actual search results, in the majority of my searches. DuckDuckGo is better at tha…

Not sure I get the argument. Cafe owners seem to be looking for the types that come in regularly, spend a lot, and stay a while. Why else offer WiFi at all? Turn off public WiFi and this customer type…

I shot some of my favorite images with a digital I purchased for a few dollars. The poor camera quality, vigineting, and surprise due to not having an LCD combined to make some artistic images that I …

You are in the demographic you're talking about. You've posted 5 comments in the past 31 days and more than that the month prior. Yours was the top comment when I looked at the thread and yo…

"120 thermal inket printers" Wut?

I really like minimalist abstract art. These are great generative art pieces that fit the bill.

Glad the author shared his methods. If you're going to repeat this, I'd suggest you give it a try with the first 10 to 15 pages. Something like a small zine. Then use all the tools and make …

As far as I can tell, neither of those resources describe "advanced code review tools". What does that mean? What are these code review tools? The help document does talk about Protected Bra…

One more, except I was one of those paying $7 a month to GitHub for the private repo's.

Wish we could get cheap cars in the U.S. Our prices are crazy. I recall hearing the smart car could be sold cheaply in its original country, but after importing it and meeting all U.S. requirements, t…

WordPerfect use to be favored my lawyers. This is a group that tends to stick to their tools. I dunno if their still using it but that's probably a pretty nice niche.

I'm also an Amp hater and welcomed this news. Then, I went to the site. Because I really hate AMP I dismissed all three of their mobile pop ups; one after another. After reading the article I tri…

Can someone explain why an expired certificate, on a monitoring device, would cause the device to completely fail rather than just spit out warnings about the certificate?
comment
Some publishers show ads based on the CPM that advertiser is willing to pay; that happens in almost real-time. So these yellow ads were dished out because they had a high CPM. It's probably diffi…

+1 for these. I've owned an HL-2270DW for almost 10 years and it continues to work flawlessly. Before that I had a similar USB only version. I just purchased it's color capable cousin as a C…

I write for myself first but it's a great feeling when others find value in my writing. As such, readers are usually on my mind. My posts often evolve over time.
comment
I read both types. Sometimes I want the short and to-the-point version and sometimes I want the long form with a story. I think there's a place for both. Write in the way that makes sense for you…

Better yet, have your computer read it to you.

For business conference calling they have meet, which is pretty similar to Hangouts for that purpose and is what we use at my office for conference calls. I've never tried to make a call to a sin…

It is mandatory in the U.S. as of a few years ago. There is around a $2,000 annual fine if you don't purchase insurance.

"The design must be simple, both in implementation and interface. It is more important for the implementation to be simple than the interface. Simplicity is the most important consideration in a …
comment
For short / simple books or "zines", consider a simple rotatable stapler and print at home. Look at many of the zine resources online. This is my own favorite way to publish small one-o…

A shameless plug for my own. Publish on Kindle by Joel Dare Explains how to format and publish a book using Libre Office. The book is short, getting strait to the point quickly. I don't see a lot…

Certainly it is. I had a computer teacher tell me that the 'cls' method in DOS would take hundreds of lines of asm to write yourself. A couple years later I decided to try it. Turns out it&#…
comment
I only ever did a clear screen or similarly simple programs in asm but I believe 6502 was a popular one. I think it was supported on both my TSR-80 and my first IBM PC.

You could easily apply or remove the css via Javascript to allow enable / disable of the feature.

I hope that the ease of competition on the Internet will make it so I can continue watching ad free TV. I expect Netflix to start increasing prices and adding advertising, it seems like it's just…
