That looks very interesting. Thank you for sharing!

I've been thinking of trying XMonad for a while, and looks like this is the opportune time. Anyone know if there's an easy "switch to last used window" functionality?
Re:Show HN: A guide to all HTML5 elements and attributes on Tuesday February 14, 2017 @08:10AM (#13643242)
Nice, but seems to be something wrong with the tagging. I unchecked all tags except `experimental` and I ended up with seven results, only one of which is actually experimental, (`picture`), the rest being _pretty_ cemented (`dt`, `li`, `option`, `td`, `th`, and `tr`). It also seems to leave out some other expermental tags, like `wbr` and `slot`, that are on the site.
>Solution? You said it yourself: "[...] our body's joints [...] were not designed to remain in one position for too long." Try a pomodoro-esque schedule (25 min work, 5 min rest) where you get up and move around, maybe do some stretches and warm up exercises?

If you hate this as much as I do, don't listen to Sweet and Tender Hooligan by The Smiths. It's a great song, but the last minute or so is horror.
Why do I know that song? Isn't it in Moulin Rouge or something?
Re:Do not change Linux files using Windows apps and tools on Friday November 18, 2016 @04:09AM (#12985406)
You say that, but I've seen a few too many people delete random system files because they didn't know what they were and needed space. Granted, they should've read the "keep out" signs and have only themselves to blame.
Wow, love this!
FYI, it neither site works in Firefox 49, which is the latest stable version as of writing this.
Protip: YouTube has a speed setting. Just click the little cogwheel thing and it should be there. I usually use it to bump up slow talks a bit, but I'm assuming it works just as well to slow things down.
Re:When Blind People Do Algebra, the Brain's Visual Areas Light Up on Wednesday September 21, 2016 @04:37AM (#12546423)
Does this mean that, if blind people take some drug that has an effect on the "visual areas", their math gets screwed up? What if you gave them a - for sighted people - highly visual psychedelic, will their algebra be all weird (or, weird in a different way than it would be for a sighted person)?
