I remember as a kid asking how many possible speeds there are between 60 mph and 0 mph. Infinite right? So how does the car get from 60 to stopped when mom hits the brakes?

Just makes me happy I'm not the only one. I always feel like I'm an idiot when I resort to setting position: relative and nudge icons a pixel or three here or there.

Hey Peter.. many thanks! My husband is from Gibraltar and his spousal green card application has cleared USCIS and is with NVS. Gibraltar has changed the name of the criminal record document it issues but NVS has not updated its system. S

I'm not sure if it's made my life better or worse, but this book above all others has had the most profound impact on how I have lived it.

Pretty sure this was a thing in Victorian England. It's in Jack the Ripper stories and possibly where the word "hangover" came from I think.

Did I miss something or was Neumorphism just that designers rediscovered inset shadows? We're just putting new names on a design cycle that's been going on for decades, maybe centuries. Things get more ornate until it's so o

"...we should hang one over [programmers' desks], or around their necks so they know what they're throwing away when they throw away a microsecond." Relevant forty years later.

I sometimes wonder about CNN's relevance as the media world changes. 380+ comments and top of HN suggests it still holds mind share, at least with this cohort.

I got it when i saw that dirty green Coleman flashlight. Who'd keep that? But ours was red, we used it at night on our farm and I vividly remember how that button felt and sounded when you clicked it on or off.

Aha... Here's one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPpFWxKPOyQ I forgot the ending of those ads... always a variation on... 'Roads that run through America... to a place.. we call home."

I'm sure it was a different experience up close, but as far as I'm concerned from a distance, he could only elevate a voiceover track. He did Subway sandwiches for God's sake. "We aspire to know all our customers by na

And you can't mention the Ernest & Julio Gallo ads without a link to the voiceover guy / head of the ad agency Hal Riney. Another legend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_lnwNIlJUo
