WholeFoods has it setup well, but that's the only store I've come across that has it. I think it's about the same speed as digging out my credit card. I just wish more retailers would enable it for their machines.

I always thought the rainbow was a nod to the One Step version of Polaroid's SX-70. It had a little rainbow strip that came down from the lens. Now its a gradient? Meh.

Also looks like we're going back to extreme rounded corners again? Square is out? Heh.

On a positive note, I do like the white and grey tone of the app itself. Cleaner and more relaxing than the blue/black tones.

I think the trouble with it is that the picture headers are given the same weight as comments. Before you could have a clear and obvious separation of sections. Now not so much. It's just all white.

It always seems to be on any site where you have to create a profile, by default it'll be exposed to google.

I really wish there was a checkbox at the end of a registration form that said something like "Show Publicly". I'd wager most people would leave it unchecked.

yeah it appears people including my self don't notice

Everything is forgiven because it loads fast and doesn't have tons of Javascript, Flash and whatnot.

It's readable enough, not bloated, and there's an understandable logic in how you navigate.

Hmm, the US Navy knows how to navigate! That makes sense.

It's purely for information dissemination, not trying to get people to be repeat customers or join the Navy. That's what navy.com is for.

Curious if they have any fallback for the very few browsers that can't render inline svg.

SVG support is nearly universal now: http://caniuse.com/#feat=svg -- plus, the icons aren't necessary for the UI to function, so perhaps they've forgone the fallback.

I wonder, do more people use an old browser or disable web fonts? <IE8 could be a lot of people.

My content blocker disables them on my iPad

For example, the blind?

Well, in Github's case the icons always seem to accompany a label, which would already make the content accessible. SVG also provides descriptions and titles that can be read out by screenreaders. Icon fonts are 'hacked' in specific unicode characters and often screenreaders try to read these characters, leading to nonsense.

But to specifically enter the question: They hide the icons. The aria-hidden attribute makes sure that the icon is not seen by screenreaders [1].

I could see this being an issue for a highly complex vector shape. But most shapes only consume a few bytes. Compared to an external image or another request for the font files.

Glass bike path when it rain sounds like a death trap

Grav released their 1.0 beta few weeks ago. It looks pretty promising. Seems it was created by a group that makes themes for WordPress and it borrows some of WordPress's admin ideas.

File-file CMS so it'll make it really easy to make small sites for clients and then deploy them to a EC2 bucket or their shared-host.

They emailed everyone who ever had a login. I got an email about it and I was only added as a user to help manage an install 2 years ago.

I maintain that I never received an email from them. Not in spam or otherwise.

Depending on the timeframe and how many customers they need to email, they do need to stagger sending otherwise they can be blacklisted.

TalkTalk (UK ISP) got public backlash for using the media to announce their compromise via the media before notifying customers by email. The CEO said, the media was the quickest way as sending that many emails would take days.

I suppose that makes sense. Still a little disconcerting that I haven't received one yet.

Well then maybe you should contact them and your email provider and find out why you didn't get the email. From the other comments, you seem to be in the minority on the "finding out about it via HN first" front.

I love the comment someone left on that article.
