Thank you for sharing your project.

I had an issue with using the demo: Because of the "springy" layout where all the fields expand to the frame size, everything just looked like a grid which blended together. It was hard to isolate individual fields and to see where one field ended and another began. I think the low-contrast borders contributed to the issue.

Why do people always try to separate certain qualities or behaviors as being "human only"?

>My reasoning is that it is ubiquitous (on Unix platforms at least), fast and likely to be preinstalled. I use my accounting program a lot, and I often tinker with various flavours of Unix. With a P5 implementation I can start from a clean Linux distro, bootstrap my user account from a git repo, and my program is ready to go straight out of the gate.

Unsubscribe from job, unsubscribe from rent, trade remaining assets for a good sleeping bag, become neo-indigenous.

I've definitely noticed a difference.

I have been developing my current project using IntelliJ, which makes it easy to jump from function call to function definition.

Once I had to do some maintenance on a live copy using vim, where I don't know how to use those features, I decided to gradually redesign things to have fewer levels of nesting for easier maintenance.

I fake it by doing a screen capture of myself working and then playing it back.

This is a great point. When I'm listening on laptop speakers, every little bit of extra loudness helps.
This page is blank (though very tall) without JS.
It does seem unfair, and it's also a common practice. Apple does it too.

Sadly, I only see the first image, and the rest are behind links. Each link requires me to press "Yes", before being redirected, sometimes to the intended link, others to the link I tried to view an hour ago.
Well, I saw this in the queue not far from your submission:

I feel obligated to comment, so that others are not led astray by parent comment, which is INCORRECT:

<noscript> works just fine in pre-JS browsers, at least all of the ones I've tried.

It works exactly as designed: Text between <noscript> and </noscript> is displayed in browsers without JS enabled (or supported).

I am not aware of any browsers where this is not the case, and I've tested in many, including Mosaic 1.x-3.x, NN 1.x-4.x, Opera up to 3.62, and others.

(You probably happened to visit my site during an upgrade. Sorry about that.)
