Very interesting article, thanks! It looks like this study was done by people who only just heard of the conspiracy (and so, if my anecdotal experience is anything to go by, they have less investment, especially because they haven't pu

Do you have a link to this study? Intuitively to me, that seems like the opposite of what you should do. If you ridicule someone, they just go deeper into their crazy group, and are exposed to even less correct information. Additionally, pe

Not to bang on about it, but this kind of thing is why I use an ad-blocker. It's barely even about ads in the traditional sense anymore, it's about being able to read a fucking article without having half the internet downloaded i

Apparently the protocol can be implemented by any editor, so hopefully we'll end up in a glorious future where this works in lots of browsers (including VSCode, who just announced their own version of this) Edit: can in the future , n

Is it intentionally ironic or unintentionally confusing that the first instances that should be ":-)" have actually been converted into the emoji versions?

I kept their emails in my inbox for a long time, even after being burnt out of their offerings for some time, just like you. Recently I saw a humble book bundle that included a book about the healing power of crystals. At that moment it bec

That is a reasonable opinion to have for sure, I think it just wasn't too obvious what you meant unfortunately!

OK. Let's say that's completely true. Is snarkily telling someone they're not good enough helpful? Seems like a moment where you could share what you know (as someone, presumably, has been in the industry long enough) and hel

How are they related sorry? I know in ES6 closures inherit the scope they are declared in, but I don't think that's a required part of the concept is it?

One of the most confusing things I find with web development (which I'm mostly new to, coming from a backend background) is that everyone seems entirely happy with JS (or more accurately the DOM?) and CSS being giant mutable state buck

Doing some junky googling, estimates for how many Americans have a credit card sits in the ~160-180million range. In other words, when they say "143 million US customers" they really mean "the vast majority of Americans with

On the topic of Mastodon, I wonder if the reason it hasn't caught on so much (outside of this use case) is precisely because it's federated. When a new social network comes along, I often sign up ASAP just to try to grab SCdF, b

You mean, why aren't they idolised as much? Or used as a racist symbol to rally around as much? The reviling comes as a reaction to the idolisation, and the use of that figure as a racist symbol to rally around. Otherwise, you revile t
