Thanks for posting this. It brought back good memories. Forth was my favorite language in the 80s.

It's been working ok for me, all day (in US)
Well, Apple has overcharged billions of dollars simply by charging their insanely high prices.
Hmmm. I almost always buy black olives packed in jars.

It would discourage me from using HN.
Re:Twitter just changed design on Thursday June 15, 2017 @01:34PM (#14562474)
They did and, after my first look, I don't like it. It seems more primitive and much less polished.

I have seen a woman take all of the sugar and artificial sweetener packets from the holder on her table and cram them into her purse.
An Apple battery expert told how he thinks it should be done. Use the battery down to about 20%. Charge it back to about 80%. Once every few months (I think he said around three months), charge it to 100%, drain it completely to where the phone shuts down, and charge it back to 100%. He said this "informs" the system with the battery's performance limits. Then, go back to the 20% to 80% pattern.
I thought Neon was KDE.
Re:Ask HN: How do you lose weight? on Thursday May 11, 2017 @02:27PM (#14318334)
I lose weight with a low-carb diet and intermittent fasting. I eat only between the hours of 11 AM - 7 PM.

I have lost 32 pounds, so far. I hope to lose at least 17 more.
