- stephengillie 11y agoOr just disable Javascript. Everyone's trying to outdo "What is Code" and so we'll be dealing with this kind of journalistic showmanship for the next few months. Edit: The article is very well written and truly touching. It feels like reading The Good Earth all over again. In another way, it reads like a story about American Settlers from the 1800s. It's sad to hear about people abiding solely through subsistence farming, but it's heartening to hear they're surviving. And from the comfort of an office building, I feel obligated to reflect on my relative privileges. They are beyond realistic counting. This imbalance fills me with unresolved guilt.

- steve-howard 11y ago"What is Code" was quite noisy, but I think the trend has been going on since at least "Snow Fall": http://www.nytimes.com/projects/2012/snow-fall/ http://www.nytimes.com/projects/2012/snow-fall/ I dislike the trend towards adding animations to articles, as I find it very distracting, but their continuing popularity makes me think I'm probably in the minority.
- stephengillie 11y agoSorry for putting the edit in this comment. I didn't realize how much it would detract from the conversation. Now that I've seen the downvotes, it's too late to edit.
