Would be nice if "BrandonText-Light" font supported `font-variant: tabular-nums` — this would prevent digital clock display from slight horizontal jumps on each second change.
Re:Ask HN: Why can't I see downvote or upvote arrows anywhere? on Saturday October 26, 2013 @10:05AM (#6617423)
This makes upvote a CSS triangle. Could be extended for downvotes as well.

    /* 13.328px = 1em */
    .votearrow[title=upvote] {
        background: none !important;
    }
        .votearrow[title=upvote]:after {
            content: '';
            display: block;
            position: relative;
            top: -1px;
            width: 0;
            height: 0;
            border: .3em solid transparent;
            border-bottom: .6em solid #999;
        }

I'm the developer of the project and I just hijacked the top comment! :)

It's been a 2 years long ride. I used Backbone and Zepto on front end, jake for building and managing assets. App uses the same PHP backend as a desktop site.

Ask me anything!

Does hibernation or maybe even some kind of hybryd-sleep works well for you?
Re:Why is Windows so slow? on Monday December 19, 2011 @02:37AM (#3368863)
Git under cygwin is so painfully slow, and gets exponentially slower as number of tracked files grow. Even SSD can't fully smooth out the difference :(

It used to, but starting from version 2 it utilized software rendering.
Awesome!

However, when I type/paste i can see only the last line of text, it's somehow confusing. Why not to make textarea take whole height?

There are some characters that shouldn't be there in the middle of the file, thus demo is broken.

The reason is simple, Chrome Extensions Cookies API is not in experimental state no more, but nobody took time to update extension code.

Awesome, that'll do as well, thanks

This has nothing to do with branching. Here is the idea I tried to replicate http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-...

The file still shows up in status and, the most important, changes from file still shows up in 'add|checkout|reset -p' which I use all the time.
Re:Show HN: make git ignore certain changed files in repo on Friday September 23, 2011 @06:20PM (#3031790)
Right, gitignore can only help with untracked files, not tracked and changed.

Back in the day when I was using SVN, its ignore-on-commit feature (GUI only, but anyway) was incredibly useful.

I'd be happy to hear your testimonials!

I use it at work everyday, it comes in very handy when you need to keep some changes only specific to your local setup (monkey patching, javascript page speed measurements, weird php local config stuff, etc, etc).

It doesn't work in Opera Mobile, just shows spinner and 'Loading' and that's all
Re:Understanding the Git Workflow on Monday August 01, 2011 @04:29AM (#2831262)
You will probably enjoy 'checkout -p' and 'reset -p' as well (revert and unstage changes hunk-by-hunk)

Re:Console.fm - New social music site on Sunday July 10, 2011 @01:11PM (#2748084)
I wonder is there any way to hack-in the last.fm support? Or maybe even log in with one's last.fm account. I would be happy to offer some help with that.
Or even better, use the user stylesheet. This is CSS job after all :)

Well, and how these reasoning justifies the need of ActiveX (the solely reason of IE8 installation) in order to fill in a web form?
