my triangle is broken

Try swapping a and b when it moves to the other side, if you can tell when that happens.

You might have better luck on Stack Overflow (link in the sidebar) or in a different subreddit. This subreddit is almost all browser based or node.js.

Let it look ugly. Consistency is very important.

You might also consider making it a meter icon.

They do not cost the same to deliver to the customer.

Data from other sources requires comcast to pay for a connection to the internet. Streaming data from within their own intranet does not.

If you plug an ethernet cable from your computer to a friend's and share files you are using TCP/IP without ever touching the internet. Until you connect to a computer outside of your private network you're not touching the internet, but using your own intranet.

Comcast could be cut off from the rest of the internet but still stream video to you because the videos are on their (rather large) intranet, which their customers are a part of. Netflix cannot say the same because they can only connect to comcast, and therefore comcast's customers, through the public internet.

The base is unimportant. It's floating point versus integers.

Floating point arithmetic has strange side effects, like the one you found. If you ever NEED an integer, round it. And keep an eye out for bugs caused by rounding errors.

The size of the number doesn't matter; it always has the same number of significant digits.

I was going for a Professor Chaos reference, but it was too subtle even for Mr. Stoch himself.

Apple buttered it up with a great interface. All the 3G and GPS in the world are behind if using it is chaos.

The most important thing about communication is the person you are communicating with. As it was said elsewhere, it would take a combination of a miracle and a disaster for everyone to abandon facebook for another service. It would need to be on the scale of the iPhone and RIM, and Facebook seems much more willing to change than RIM.

To make that point the best time to start it would be when he took office. The way it is now casts doubt on that point because it looks like we were doing well, except for an anomalous drop.

It strongly implies that Obama is responsible for the recovery, which may or may not be true. It does not show any factors other than the name of the president.

You cannot use this chart to compare Obama to Bush because it does not include the time before 2007, when jobs were being created.

It would be classified as Didone. Technically romantic but often labelled modern. Try Didot or Bodoni.

EDIT: also your apostrophes are backwards.

Deer will happily eat human food while it's growing in fields. If there are so many deer that there's not enough food for them, they have already eaten all our food.

I disagree. Hater is a great word.

Nope... it's the font failing at life.

I worked on an ebook reader that developed this problem when we got a new version of the renderer. We complained to the company that made the renderer, but it turns out one of our fonts was just sub par. I removed the hints from the font and they were good again.

nuclearcircular · 1 month

That's caused by poor font hinting. See the Alignment section of this link: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/TrueTypeHintingHow.mspx

There are things I like about tabs and things I hate. I like that they make hidden windows visible, but I don't like that every app has to implement them so we're stuck with a dozen different implementations with a dozen different keystrokes, dragging behaviors, overflow solutions, etc. It's about time this problem was solved on the OS level.

In BeOS, and some other operating systems, instead of the title bar going all the way across the window, it was just a tab. You could use a key-click combination to drag the tab. You had to do it manually, but you could create a tabbed interface that still used OS level windows. I only did it once because it took too much work to set up.

WebOS uses the concept of stacks. When you open a browser or another app it starts a new stack. Links that open in a new window (from the browser or any other app) are new windows in the same stack. You can press a button to navigate between stacks or between windows within a stack. It's very cool, and a much better alternative to tabs.

On a Mac you can change windows within an app with cmd `. I don't know if there's a PC command for it.

Tabs/windows in windows are not a new thing, they have been around since the beginning of the GUI. There are many cases where they are good and appropriate, but browsing is not one of them. Each tab should be a window (ever heard of a web app?) but it's a shame no windowing system is up to the challenge.

Perhaps I should have said arbitrarily numerous.

JonathanHarford · 1 month

I also hate tabs. There are good reasons to hate them.

The operating system already provides a windowing system. There are keyboard commands to toggle between windows. Tabs are just one window trying to be many. We don't need two things that do this, the windowing system should handle it elegantly.

Tabs are small and numerous. I hate things that are small and numerous.

I use tabs, but once there's a better solution I will abandon them gladly. Every day I hope for some WebOS influence on the desktop. Apple's getting there with Lion's updated Exposé.

EDIT: my point is that tabs are the browser solving a problem that should be solved by the windowing system.

Take a look at ligatures. I see quotes more like ligatures than characters.

It's absurd to ask users to know crazy keystrokes to make their text typographically correct.

Also, I am a programmer.

PaulGiamatti · 1 month

I don't see smart quotes as characters as much as a display problem, like ligatures. It's absurd to ask users to manually add ligatures to their text, and just as silly to ask them to change all their quotes to smart ones.

PaulGiamatti · 1 month

As I said elsewhere in this thread, the straight quote is an artifact of the mechanical typewriter and has no place in modern typography. All quotes should be "curly".

The logic is very simple. Space on one side but not the other? Punctuation on one side and not the other? Any other case is typographically incorrect anyway, so using a straight quote is ok. Checking for nesting is not necessary.
