As many have mentioned, microwaves are the ones I get the least. What is the urgency for opening the damn thing when it is done!? For dishwashers, we now have one that just opens by itself when it is done (to dry) - no beeping or anything.

In my experience, water pipes (not sure about heating) routed outside the walls are pretty common in houses in Amsterdam build pre ~2000 (and not renovated since)

I think the advise in the article and various comments here won't work, for the simple reason that Safari does not allow ajax requests from non localhost origins to localhost. I suspect this is the real reason they used an image reques

You can link any of your bank cards to any of your accounts using the mobile app (change is instant AFAIK) You can even configure different pin codes per card, where each pin code corresponds to a different account

That would mean that anything that responds to click events is a button. From your experience of using UIs, you can probably think of many more UI elements that respond to clicks and are not buttons

It is a bit paradoxical of course, since, as you pointed out, the British empire is the reason that the US speaks english. However, I would still argue that the US is really the reason English became widely spoken in Europe . The British E

I am curious, what made it a maintenance nightmare?

Aside from the point others have made that carbon based chemistry is a likely candidate for life, there is another factor I think: We already know that carbon based can exist and we know what it looks like. Since our means for searching for

Anecdotally, my master thesis on natural language processing was supposed to consist of first reproducing the results of an influential paper (back then) and then hopefully improving upon it by extending the model used. The paper made it se

Here you go https://gist.github.com/felixhageloh/37c4d091f4e40c4d19fa83c... And you are right - this started pre Sierra already (can't remember which version)

They must have changed their CMYC to RGB conversion algorithm as well. CMYC colors now look different in Preview compared to when rendered in Acrobat Reader or using Ghostscript

I think it is because of the latter. The Anglo-Saxons, while coming from an area that coincides with modern day Denmark, did not speak (an ancient form of) Danish.

Interesting, thanks! Probably not as cool, but you could also just get the output of the regular top, parse it and generate HTML from it (a bit like http://tracesof.net/uebersicht/ )

I find it works really well for listening to music in album format and getting more albums from the iTunes store. The store integration is well done and I love the (newish) UI that reacts to the colors of the album artwork. For listening

Your comment seems irrelevant - the article never claimed that english has the most (or even a lot of) irregular verbs. If you have some linguistic insights regarding irregular verbs in Polish I would be curious to hear them (I really mean

I think you are correct that english grammar simplified because of the intermix with different languages. For example during the viking conquest, many viking words were very similar to english except or their grammatical endings, so people

Zug does mean train but it comes from ziehen (to pull) as others mentioned. So I am not sure whether zügig comes from the original meaning or from 'train'. The english cognate for Zug/ziehen is tug btw (follows the common t -

It is true, you can probably stop supporting IE8 depending on your audience. [UPDATE: also I was reading SVG/DOM as an or]

I can't speak for others, but if you write browser apps/websites for a generic audience you basically have no choice. The reason consist of two letters: IE

Isn't that exactly the point I made? You mentioned that people who rant about people being late annoy you. You don't have the power to change them, but you can adjust your own action and be on time. I am not saying you should btw

You could invert your argument to: If you know that people are going to rant when you are late, why don't you try to be on time.

Thanks, I learned something new! But yeah, as other people have pointed out, browser support starts with IE 11 and almost no mobile browser supports it - so it might as well not exist.

Or at least 'Huegelkultur', especially since the author spends some time talking about the correct spelling.

Good point indeed, thanks. The problem is of course that widgets are not clickable by design - you don't want to take over the desktop. Shipping some default widgets might be a good solution though.

The fact that the Angles and Saxons were from an area that is currently Denmark means nothing. Territories, country borders and the languages and cultures occupying them have changed significantly in the north of Europe after the collapse o

Your observations of dutch being closer to English in some way than German, is correct. However, saying that Dutch is mix between German, English and French is quite wrong (disclaimer: I am not Dutch). English, Dutch and German are all clas

The irony doesn't escape me, but for what it's worth, here is a previous HN discussion about their framework you mentioned: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6653024 A complaint I remember was that "there
