It's not so much about playing/slowing/speeding up an animation or video. It's about moving forward and backward through an "experience," as much as I dislike the overuse of that w…

I remember as a kid asking how many possible speeds there are between 60 mph and 0 mph. Infinite right? So how does the car get from 60 to stopped when mom hits the brakes?

Just makes me happy I'm not the only one. I always feel like I'm an idiot when I resort to setting position: relative and nudge icons a pixel or three here or there.

Hey Peter.. many thanks! My husband is from Gibraltar and his spousal green card application has cleared USCIS and is with NVS. Gibraltar has changed the name of the criminal recor…

Anybody who says newspapers and other "legacy media" are obsolete isn't aware of journalists like Dominic Gates.

Showing off in crawler stats who is dominate on the internet. Had not thought of that.

Isn't that inviting bad actors to scour the web for servers with just the right vulnerability? What's to gain by revealing that?

Ken Livingstone was many things, but "right-wing mayor" is not among them.

Did I miss something or was Neumorphism just that designers rediscovered inset shadows? We're just putting new names on a design cycle that's been going on for decades, maybe centu…

"...we should hang one over [programmers' desks], or around their necks so they know what they're throwing away when they throw away a microsecond." Relevant forty years later.

More research is needed.

Yep. No way on earth I would have gotten the job I have if I'd been in the recruiting cattle call.

This is what I was thinking, but couldn't quite articulate in my head.

I sometimes wonder about CNN's relevance as the media world changes. 380+ comments and top of HN suggests it still holds mind share, at least with this cohort.
