The thing that killed them for me was the evolution from this simple style that hn still uses to every post being a mini bio for the poster, with tagline and links. But even this objection seems ridiculously dated now.

I had my final pebble hardware failure just before they stopped trading. I'll give it a miss.

I definitely do for something I want to write myself, that behaves like an app, but has zero entry barrier. I am adding PWA best practices to everything I do now "just in case", still not quite sure if it's going anywhere, maybe it is only me. I wanted a "packing reminder" on my phone so I made https://paulypopex.gitlab.io/holiday-reminder/# and it works for me.

what3words has appeared twice recently as a news story on bbc.co.uk I'd not heard of plus.codes even though now I realise I'd seen them on google maps listings

agreed, nephew got his pebble steel replaced no questions for serious screen issues. I have minor screen issues occasionally though have had mine for a couple of years. Might try for a replacement. Might they send me a fitbit now instead..?

package.json makes so much sense to me, npm has spoiled me also

even simpler open your browser console and just start typing, I've found new ideas by letting the autocomplete there guide me

I use Lightwaverf in the UK, replacing the switches with their dimmers. They do have limitations (can't query the state and mostly doesn't work with led bulbs) but the form factor is good.

they're ramping up the availability at the moment, adafruit has them I think http://whereismypizero.com/ - some places only have them as part of a kit admittedly, but I managed to buy one on its own. I'm confident availability is getting easier, and the new version has a camera slot too.

pretty negative, reminds me of fuckedcompany.com back in about 2000 - that made it into a game, you could bet on which dotcom bubble companies were going to fail.

looks like it supports standard watch straps so knock yourself out (steel 1 owner)

after the initial batch all manufacturing resource was supposedly moved to the pi 3 so they're still tricky to come by. I'm sure they'll be back though. There's an interview in https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/issues/43/ that explains this I think. I have one pi zero and (like 99% of raspberry pis - or is it raspberries pi? - in the wild) I have not done anything useful with it yet.

Ed Wood or Plan 9 From Outer Space?

Holiday Extras | Kent coast, UK | ONSITE | Full-Time | £40-60k

LOADS of tech vacancies http://join.holidayextras.co.uk/vacancies/ Particularly of interest here would be Full Stack Developer. Mostly work is js / node but "In no particular order, we have used the following technologies over the last few years: PHP, Java, Javascript, NodeJS, Ruby, Coffeescript, Python, Cordova/Phonegap, Backbone, React and will continue to always use the best technologies for the purposes of our work" Partly on site but everyone works partly remote, the company is very remote friendly. Good luck, say you heard it from me...

I have exactly the same! I understood it to be down to network issues, maybe that'll be solved with on board wifi?

I have them running home automation, energy usage, security cameras, and temperature monitoring (outdoor, and indoor home brew). Plus streaming audio and an inevitible xbmc http://pauly.github.io/lightwaverf/ https://github.com/pauly/raspbrewery http://pauly.github.io/pi-motion/

previously you'd have had a wifi dongle in one slot, plus then maybe mouse and keyboard... likely to be fine with the same power supply for the same use cases as before. Don't try and run your christmas tree off it.

been doing this for a long time with various facebook related domains - upsets people if they borrow my laptop though.

I thought I had similar, we use Junos Pulse and it rewrites your /etc/hosts file. I think it takes a backup at some point and rebuilds the file from that when it needs to. This means some local changes just disappear. Nothing sinister though afaik.

I don't think any "physical web" scanners do right now unfortunately, for example https://github.com/dermike/physical-web-scan (or search for mobile apps called "physical web"). This completely banjaxed my attempt to make an all front end internet beacon recently.

yeah this is not new was a recommendation from https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ which I thought was now depracated, so must have been around for a while. I think it's a recommendation of http://yellowlab.tools/ too which is great.

--save adds the fairly loose ^ version number, so any major version should match, so less conflicts than if you'd added an exact version match, or a ~ match

where is the "under construction" digging man animation?

Holiday Extras is looking for software engineers plus other positions. Based in Kent, South Coast UK. Looks like we have a new recruitment site that sells it well http://join.holidayextras.co.uk/ Must be ONSITE for at least part of the week.

I did have that originally, but <card /> worked in my browser so i ran with it... I'm sure card[suit=$] with a unicode character is not super widely supported css anyway...

Great work, I love this. Here is a quick playing card example with pseudo elemenets view-source:http://www.clarkeology.com/card.html

agreed, I looked around the area I live in Kent and it looks like people buying a house "tax efficiently" ahem, via companies in the Channel islands, rather than oligarchs buying up swathes of the town.

Every DOM element below the write is blocked from rendering until the write is done

I'm with you, that generated css doesn't look right, something that generated the css BEM style makes more sense.

I did some testing using http://yellowlab.tools/ to find the slow parts of http://www.clarkeology.com/blog/ and I'm pleased with the results so far. Ditching jquery was quite a big win. Having no content to speak of makes it fast too...
