I hate the text color so freaking much. I changed it to black with firebug, but it's a major issue with that site.
Flam··on Scalability
I'm afraid I disagree. There's no way you could multi-task all 30 open tabs at the same time. Read what you need and close the tab when you're done. Leave only the topmost page of the documentation open so you can find your way back down again if you need to. You should be able to tell whether a page has value to you or not within the first 30 seconds of skimming through it. Do you open every result on google for the first 3 pages of all your searches or something? Baffling.
Flam··on The Web Development Discipline
I guess I misunderstood the point of your article. Sure, if your IE6 user base is large enough, you pretty much have no way to get around providing support for that browser. And I agree it is easier to test IE6 compatibility procedurally, after each coded page or measurable milestone, rather than at the very end of the website's development.
Flam··on The Web Development Discipline
I think it's less the fact that the development process is undisciplined, and more the fact that it is just a bore to recode something beautiful for people who couldn't care less about it.

I had a herniated disc, and while it was painful and troubling for about 6 months, I'm now back on the computer full time. After I was able to move properly again, I waited a full month to be sure I was fine, then got a gym membership and strengthened my body. Now I'm in great shape.

This is EXACTLY what I needed and wanted. I was literally about to code my own version of this today but decided to procrastinate and check hacker news, and I'm sure glad I did!

Flam··on 1000+ Nokia workers have walked out in protest (in English via Google Translate)
The Nokia n900 (Maemo) albeit with some flaws, is the greatest phone I will ever own. Allow me to explain.

I live in Canada. We get a lot of snow over here. Last winter, I lost my Nokia phone. I remember it was a night we had a huge snowstorm, and I stayed in drinking hot chocolate by the fireplace only to wake up the next day stressing out because I couldn't find my phone. After an hour of searching, I came to terms that I must have lost it in the mall the day before.

I end up leaving later that day, and find it on my driveway buried in snow. Snow plows came twice and cleaned my driveway and they must have driven over it with the plow part of the truck. Not only that, it was completely submerged in snow for over 12 hours. I picked it up, brushed off as much snow as I could, and tried using it.

It still worked. It didn't even have any scratches (1 minor one). I've owned many phones in my life, and most of them break in the stupidest ways. Nokia is the rambo of phones.

Flam··on Ask HN: Does anyone know what this kind of tiled web background this is?
Wasn't that site, but similar. Thanks though, this is good enough.
Flam··on Ask HN: Does anyone know what this kind of tiled web background this is?
I know about seamless textures. I'm asking about that specific granular type of texture. Does it have a name? I could have sworn someone on HN made a generator for these things just a few days ago.
