literally just taco meat and peppers ig

It also rewrites the URL slugs on every click, making it hard to leave the page the lazy way

This is the best vim meme I’ve ever seen. I’m dead

It’s worth noting that the Times released this tool a decade ago. IIRC, around 2015 there was also a push for better colorblind friendly color palettes, especially on the heat map space (I remember watching a matplotlib demo, maybe, with viridis support). While there’s many visualization practices we do better at now, and while this could be due for a redux, I still think it"s one of the best interactives to date. It’s an OG for sure.

Props to Oleg/hoverzoom for maintaining and updating this list for all to read. It’s my first time seeing any document of this kind really. Quiet chilling

They are a net gain to the site owner IMO. Years ago you could make a case for cutting into ad revenue, but in this day and age it’s hard enough to be discoverable to generate any in the first place. Sites with high SEO are swollen with ads and fluff and useless. Nowadays I’m just glad to see something I wrote about or compiled spur healthy interactions and on page 1 of search engines.

That includes making third party dissemination easier. Perhaps I come away knowing and remembering more because of a bot’s concision. Maybe that makes me more likely to share your unique idea with others IRL. I dunno

This is a nice idea. It’s not splicing different words together but paying tribute to conceptual meaning. Simplifies syllables. Can be represented symbolically (e.g. ℵ₀). And it makes me think of the movie pi (aleph nought).

I’m not a Hebrew speaker, so it’s easy for me to read “alpha” when skimming “aleph”. I wonder if others do this. Then again, read any modern tech headline and pretend you’re someone in the 70’s and you’d be struggling to understand what the hell even half the words are trying to convey.

I am too, and new to Infinity overall. I was patiently awaiting Sync but became sadly disappointed with how aggressive it was monetized. Infinity does what I need:

1. searching for posts over all communities (*and instances!)

2. inline find function for the comments

3. preview before commenting

I am simple. Infinity is fast. Go. Lemmy. Go.
