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 word. I'd suggest it's a natural evolution of the scroll behavior.
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 record document it issues but NVS has not updated its system. So they keep rejecting his documents even though we included a letter from the police commissioner explaining the situation.
Any suggestions?
Anybody who says newspapers and other "legacy media" are obsolete isn't aware of journalists like Dominic Gates.
Perhaps unusually, the authors of this paper are not convinced of the correctness of their proposed hypothesis.
A refreshing conclusion to an academic paper, and beats the hell out of "further study is needed."
I'm not sure if it's made my life better or worse, but this book above all others has had the most profound impact on how I have lived it.
Content created by PBS and its member stations carries a copyright notice and cannot be legally redistributed without permission.
This may be pedantic, but I'm baffled that PBS page doesn't mention every PBS station is available for free over the air.
Has no one told the one about the USB guy's funeral? They put him in the ground, but realized he was the wrong way 'round so they pulled him out and put him in the other way.
Pretty sure this was a thing in Victorian England. It's in Jack the Ripper stories and possibly where the word "hangover" came from I think.
Does this mean I can stop worrying about remembering to wake up Green Day?
Showing off in crawler stats who is dominate on the internet.
Had not thought of 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 centuries. Things get more ornate until it's so over the top we wipe it all clean and start over.
"...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.
I got it when i saw that dirty green Coleman flashlight. Who'd keep that? But ours was red, we used it at night on our farm and I vividly remember how that button felt and sounded when you clicked it on or off.
Aha... Here's one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPpFWxKPOyQ I forgot the ending of those ads... always a variation on... 'Roads that run through America... to a place.. we call home."
I'm sure it was a different experience up close, but as far as I'm concerned from a distance, he could only elevate a voiceover track. He did Subway sandwiches for God's sake. "We aspire to know all our customers by name... or at least by sandwich." Or airport car rentals. "There are over a million miles of roads in Alamo territory. And only Alamo gives you all those miles for free."
And you can't mention the Ernest & Julio Gallo ads without a link to the voiceover guy / head of the ad agency Hal Riney. Another legend.
Chariots of Fire is iconic of course. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a-HfNE3EIo
I think my first encounter with his music was the Ernest & Julio Gallo wine commercials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mES7lzR9uFE
Seems he should have been considerably older than 79.
Yes! And defence/defense. Honestly I've forgotten which of those is which.
Not sure I agree. As an American living in the UK I constantly battle autocorrect to spell it "rumor" or "favor," lest someone think I've gone native.
One of America's best ideas. Laboratories of democracy. Maybe it works.. maybe not. But the rest of us learn from whatever happens.
I'd thought that too, but the law in question only bars the State department from spending its budget on a pavilion. Nothing blocks congress from appropriating whatever it wants for that purpose.

As the documentary I linked in another comment points out, this has been misunderstood for so long, even people in the State department think it's an outright ban on use of any public funds.
On a flight to Dubai Expo I watched a surprisingly moving documentary about how America fell out of love with World's Fairs not long after the iconic ones in New York and Seattle. https://www.faceofanationmovie.com/
I still can sing the jingle for the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville. "You've got to be there!"
