My friends iPhone got replaced 3 times, every single time the same fault. Something to do with audio interface going missing and mic not working.

His next phone was an Android.

I remember looking it up and there were rumours that Apple had initially acknowledged this fault and replaced them with no questions asked but then withdrawn the memo.

Convert to epub and use text to speech on your e-book reader.

Not the best, but you didn't ask for the best :)

In the spirit of the Halloween documents, Microsoft implemented and extended the Kerberos protocol.

Extended it just a tiny bit enough to be incompatible with everyone else. After getting bad PR in the media, they reluctantly agreed to publish their changes. And guess what?

... in order to get it, you have to run a Windows .exe file which forces you agree to a click-through license agreement where you agree to treat it as a trade secret, before it will give you the .pdf file

See https://slashdot.org/story/00/05/02/158204/kerberos-pacs-and...

On the topic of flash cards, the Leitner system is pretty awesome.

I was once working with a guy that was hell bent on microservices.

When our banking application became incompatible with logging, due to his microservice design, he really argued, fought and sulked that logging wasn't important and we didn't need it.

Wow, this both a fantastic joke and could be used as a school book example of the importance of context.

Given of course that everyone would have watched Father Ted. But the world would be a better place if everyone did.

This is brilliant, well done! Is it possible to build the app as a (Linux) desktop client?

Also, you might want to look at this bug as it might be affecting your cash flow: https://github.com/GitJournal/GitJournal/issues/612

This is not helpful, this is simply Besserwisser nonsense.

> You mean all the other blogs? Do you mean all blogs that don't state skin colors in the domain/name are done by white people? That's one of the more racist and demeaning comments I've seen here.

> What worked for printed text has no bearing for what works on an illuminated screen.

Yes it does.

> ... but it is equally important that things aren't too bright. You should avoid using extremes like #000000 and #ffffff ...

No, you shouldn't avoid them. Users are fully capable of adjusting the brightness and contrast of their monitors.

> Believe me, as a 50+ year old, I notice when it's hard to read things.

I believe you. I just don't think your personal experience is relevant.

Cool. But please fix that light gray text on white background in the demo (or make it even paler for more avant-garde :)
