Euripides trousers, Umendades trousors.


Eumenides trousers?


Umendades trousors.


Essplain? Am lost.


Say it out loud - it's a play on words. "You rip a dese trousers, you mend a dese trousers"


'Tis true, but it's also true that Eumenides is an actual Greek deity (and The Eumenides is a play) that sounds the same (at least when pronounced by this monolingual English speaker.)

So I feel "Eumenides trousers!" is a slightly better variant of the joke.


Yeah, I thought that was a direction too. Slightly over thinking it.


euripedes nuts


Carrot app all the way.


That's amazing. I can't imagine the experience you must have reading through HN comments with a screen reader. Love to hear about it.


For the most part, I actually use Lynx to read HN. So it should be relatively easy for you to see how that feels. For added spice, you can install a screen reader like Orca and activate the "virtual braille viewer". That will give you one line of text, usually 40 or 80 characters long. The screen reader will largely follow the terminal cursor. As long as you are just editing text, that is all you need. For reading things other then around the cursor, you basically have a few buttons to move the braille display "window" around on the screen.


The demo failed. Won't accept "Checkout" as text. Where do I report this?


There's a feedback widget in the bottom right on the main page


right?


I remember a couple years ago getting Rocksmith for my ps4 and absolutely loving it. The controller mappings were a little unnatural in places but I did reasonably well with reading their notation/tab. Fast forward to when I tried to pick it up again a few weeks ago ... I can't read their notation/tab for the life of me. It's so confusing. Need to rewire my brain somehow.


A great refactoring tutorial that uses modules to mixin behaviors across multiple models.
