Sadly, nah. It works.

An old colleague and friend used to print out a 30 page perl script he wrote to do almost exactly this in this scenario. A stapled copy could always be found on his dining room table.

I love postgres and have created my own "data lake" sorta systems -- what would this add to my workflows?

This might just be the most HN comment I've ever read.

Also fair! I think "leaker" is just bristly to me in this context, when there's a nearly identical version of it just hanging out for folk to find. But also just a hope that some folk might poke around documentcloud for simil

I'm not disputing that. :)

Doing both is fine! Just, once you've figured out your regex and such, hardening/generalizing demands DOM iteration. It sucks but it is what is is.

His videos are some of the best out there. Super funny, depth that's rarely seen elsewhere, and a refreshingly scrappy academic approach. His video on kerning being an incomputable problem is filled with rigor and worth a watch. High

Interpret it this way please: I'm unable to understand the collection of words in your post because you're using overloaded words to describe a simplified scenario that doesn't match the reality of the world I've seen. C

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

I hear you on the despair and hope you can find a way to work through it. When I felt it more (heh it's definitely not gone) it was out of a feeling of not being able to contribute, or not being able to understand things to the degree

I dunno about that analogy, but the fix for this is for editors to be included in the byline, or at least at the bottom where contributors are often found. Some newsrooms have started doing this but it should absolutely be more common. Bu

Friend, I think your cynicism's clouding how you're interpreting my words. What you're interpreting as blind trust is me just saying that people are people and people gonna people, yanno? And lol, nah. The amount of bullshit

by chaps 1y ago
Friend, I'm not suggesting that at all. I could, though: in no way did you describe any of what you considered to be bad from them. You left it conclusory in such a way that leaves the reader (me) to try to fill the gaps in what you me

Eh, it's not entirely that simple. In the same way teachers are, some people are just compelled towards it because it's what feels "right" to them. And, just, don't forget that a lot of the people who are "sti

I think a lot of what you're seeing is people being people rather than journalists being journalists. Sometimes gallows humor is the only thing you can do for yourself while you're looking through brutal, terrifying reports of abu

Sure, but my point wasn't to refute the article in any way. More of a preemption of people saying, "this is why journalism sucks!!" without understanding the dynamics of why things are the way they are. Everything fuckin&#x27

Why do you focus on "one fact"? Reporting, fact checking, editing is a fluid project that changes as the piece progresses. What needs fact checking in one draft is very different from what needs fact checking in another draft. And

These problems are largely economic. Donate to your local investigative newsroom.

I'm no longer doing journalism as my main gig and I'm much healthier these days thankfully. Use this energy to consider donating to a newsroom. :)

Getting grants is an alternative way and it's how freelancers are able to do reporting for cash-strapped newsrooms. Grants definitely have their own can of worms, though. Things like restrictive reporting requirements, do-not-do requir

I've done a fair amount of data-intensive fact checking for journalism articles and have had fact checking done on my own data-intensive reporting. Couple things: 1. Fact checkers are not paid enough to do what they do. They're us

Why does it have to be either-or? It's more of a revolving door. One of the clearer modes of how this all looks can be seen when using public records laws to request information that was created through a government contract. On one si

Ah Crowdstrike. One of the bigger problems we had at $company deploying the daemon to client servers was that there was (at the time) no config item to change the log file location. So we had a client who'd run out of disk space and II

Love me some confirmation bias about how bad the "other side" is at inserting its dogma into its surroundings. Here's mine: at my grandfather's funeral, the head pastor was comfortable enough in himself to start complain
