Where "journalistic work" means "has published an article or video that at least purports to be reporting facts, or something equivalent to that". If you claim to be a journalist, but can't point to something you&#x

People aren't perfect. Mistakes abound. If the bare minimum for a position was "no mistakes" you'd never find a qualified candidate. I'll go further and add that your attitude makes things worse in practice because

The executive summary of the FDA report[1] on the vaccine lists observed side effects in the clinical trial population as well as their incidence rates. Briefly, it is comparable to a normal flu shot. Derek Lowe, who's worked as a chem

The bio labs definitely warrant a closer look, we just shouldn't jump to conclusions until we've had those looks and collected some direct evidence.

Turns out getting material from a celestial object back to terra-firma unaltered is pretty damn hard. Fortunately, modern scientific instruments can do a lot with a little.

IIRC, some will attempt to get online by themselves by connecting to open access points, but I don't have a source for that.

The subtitle on The Verge is "And why the era of worker-centered work tools may be over" (emphasis mine). Which is a little less click-baity than the "is over" currently used by the HN submission.

You're about right, but I think not recognizing the value of having a UX that the average person feels comfortable with Both for daily usage and initial setup. IRC, for all its strengths, does not achieve that.

If someone is asking for an scroll indicator, it's safe to assume that, for some reason, the native scroll affordance has been hidden from them.

How does "coulda woulda shoulda" mean that?

Feeding food insecure (and worse) people around the world is very, very rarely about food quantity and is almost always about the logistics of getting food from where it exists in excess to where it is lacking. Fuel and labor costs dominate

The real key word is "legally". IP addresses + other metadata (browser fingerprinting and the like) can be enough to sufficiently identify an individual, or at least a household, for some purposes, such as making a more effective

Everyone here is arguing past each other because one side defines "what git does" as the literal implementation details of git, and the other side defines "what git does" as the model it presents to the end user. I suspe

Reading TFM and understanding TFM are not the same thing. The more intuitive the design of the system, the closer they are. The point people are trying to make here is that git specifically has an uncomfortably large gap between the two. Wh

If an app follows the UI conventions of the system it is running on, there is less cognitive overhead for users. However, with the rise of web apps users have at least become a little more used to interacting with a variety of UIs, though t

Can you explain this a bit more? What's the value to Slack to do this?
