Ran into a couple of things. Firstly, the documentation is wrong and when it states using "node app.js -u blah -p blah" it needs to specify "node app.js config -u ...".

Also, I found that if you enter an incorrect password, the application itself will break out of the switch statement (track in this case), but it won't output an error to stdout and also node remains running (with the application dead) and will make it appear like nothing bad has happened.

(E: Using Ubuntu 14.04, node 0.10.33, libspotify, etc, all up to date).

I like to think that the usage of a 2.2mb (which took 1.7 minutes to load on a 15mbit connection) background image was meant as an illustration to the article's point.

Speaking as someone who is in their 30s, I couldn't care less about the silly voices, the endless repetitive churning out of videos about the same indie games (God knows I'm still watching Bisnap do endless playthroughs of Risk of Rain and Binding of Isaac) or the clearly very young fanbase. Those things don't really bother me.

Now making jokes about rape and the holocaust? PewDiePie can go fuck himself.

Yeah, he's in Hove, East Sussex. The local rag did a thing about him when he moved here.

More importantly, rebel and imperial insignias.

> a feminist, ... I don’t just stand for equality – I have crashed the glass ceiling in every aspect of my life.

> As a feminist ...

> ... which is why I have decided not to hire women altogether.

Something doesn't add up here!

> I think a more likely reason heavily tattooed people could have a problem working at the government is that they are more likely to be people who are difficult to clear (heavy drug use in the past, surrounded by people who are heavy drug users, etc.). They clearance process is honestly really stupid. Having tattoos will not disqualify you, but surrounding yourself in people with bad habits will.

What the fuck is this drivel? Did you honestly just imply that anyone with tattoos is likely to have a history of heavy drug use? Seriously?

In the long run, the only way in which it "works" is that you lose any semblance of being a decent human being and people can just straight-up see that you're a scumbag from the get-go.

This reads like a mess of disgusting PUA crap.

Oh I get the context, that's just not what the article is meant to confer. :)

From what I took from it the TL;DR would be that Cloudflare are refusing to reply to Russian legal demands to take down sites or materials considered to be illegal in Russia in a timely manner or at all.

True, but I don't believe there's a more dyslexia friendly font in standard fonts which are available on more platforms.

Just a little gripe of mine, to be honest, but it's really one of the only positive things to the font, and having it removed in the process of attempting to improve the font is a bit funny to me.

"The squashed, wonky, and weird glyphs of Comic Sans have been beaten into shape while maintaining the honesty that made Comic Sans so popular."

Doesn't this directly make Comic Neue inferior to Comic Sans for people with dyslexia, one of the original fonts plus points.
