Google Chrome Canary has network throttling functionality.


As does plain Google Chrome, at least on OSX. Open Dev Tools and click the 2nd icon on top, next to the loupe, which looks like a mobile phone. From there you can specify a set of throttling speeds (offline, gprs, edge, 3G, DSL, Wifi)


http://www.moredrunk.com - Lists alcohol from different bars and grocery stores in order of Alcohol Content/Price. Haven't touched it in over a year and the parser needs an update. Not a lot of traffic currently but perhaps has a high potential.

I am aware. That was the "parser needs to be updated" part. Probably should have fixed it before posting! Thanks for looking.


I've used PrinceXML in the past and it worked well: http://www.princexml.com/


For use on the web you'll need a server license, though, which is $3800 for one machine. Fine if it's a business with revenue, but pretty steep for side projects or free services.

(There's also a free version for non-commercial users, but it's really only usable for evaluation, because it adds a PrinceXML logo to the generated PDFs.)


We offer our database publishing software as open source (http://speedata.github.io/publisher/index.html). It is used in many commercial environments as a better alternative to XSL-FO. Our software allows much more flexible layouts. That said: english documentation is still behind and we are lacking nice show cases. If you need more info, just contact me.


IIRC it's one of the few big applications written with Mercury functional logic language.

No?

"Decide that you’re going to sit in a position where you can rub her leg and back. Physically pick her up and sit her on your lap. Don’t ask for permission. Be dominant. Force her to rebuff your advances."


The author's response:

> The thing that the commenters on social media are leaving out is that the advice was taken from a section in the guide offering advice on what to do AFTER a man has met a cute girl, gotten her phone number, gone on dates, spent time getting to know her, and now are alone behind closed doors fooling around. If "Don't wait for signs, make the first move" promotes sexual assault, then "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid was a song about rape.

Doesn't seem very rapey when you consider this is after several dates and they are alone together. He also says over and over again "If she says no, stop immediately".


I have made a very low-res polar coordinates version: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/543600/1110polar.png

I will make a larger version later tonight.


That was my reasoning when I purchased http://www.moredrunk.com - that and it was ridiculously cheap.


As dweis mentioned here, I am working on something like this for the NYC area: http://www.moredrunk.com - it is still in early development but I will definitely post an update to HN when it's more stable and polished.

Edit: However, I am not keeping track of happy hour deals since that requires a new data source that I haven't figured out yet. Ideally, I'd have establishments give me the data but the site doesn't have the ability or userbase for yet.

I like the implementation of The City Swig, and I'll be sure to keep it in mind when working on my own, (NYC-based) project. Keep up the good work!


Hey, thanks for the feedback. I run that website. It's still in early development and there are still some technical challenges. I will definitely post to HN when it's more production ready.


I think the change is due to cheap and plentiful on-board graphics that limits the screen resolution but provides a longer battery life. Since most users don't need a powerful gaming laptop, manufacturers use the cheap, efficient, but limited on-board graphics processors.
