If you're interested in learning how much HTML you actually know, I wrote this quiz to test you (and at the end it shows you how many of the hundred-plus elements you missed, and what each are for). https://joemurph.com/article/detail/html5-elements-quiz/


In 2022 the New Yorker wrote up the CYOA franchise, early history and later existence, in a story that is a choose your own adventure itself: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/09/19/the-enduring-a...


Also, if CYOA software is something you're into and you aren't familiar with interactive fiction, there are worse places to start than https://ifdb.org/


Weird that the site is still as slow as it's always been, how have they not fixed this, it's slow on desktop it's slow on the app it's always the slowest thing. Slower than local news websites. S l o w.


I gave up using them when they switched from showing places to stay to showing (by default) all kinds of crap that I didn't care about.

I was a business user, with a business account and business credit card. Why am I being shown "experiences" as the default behavior?

In the end I was forced to quit due to my account being in some weird state that they STILL haven't fixed (I checked today, a year and a half later). All that happens when I log in is I see "We’re reviewing your info Someone from our team will review your account and follow up with you soon at <email>"

This is after many years of bookings and absolutely zero disputes or complaints etc. Emailing them gets me nowhere - just no response at all.


does nobody tell them it's slow and they just don't know


The killing happened in January, but the vehicle information was just obtained.


The operative phrase here is "reasonable expectation of privacy," as in, you're fair game to have your photo taken unless you have a reasonable expectation of privacy.


Ah, ok, thank you. I'm probably spoiled by Defcon, where there is a strict "No Pictures if you don't ask" policy.


Could you give an example of an edit you found annoying?


This one did annoy me, fwiw:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5151227

The original submitted title was "Minecraft's Monster Profits". Minecraft was something I recognized and was interested in. When I tried to find the thread again to see what people had been saying, I couldn't see it and had to hunt around for a bit. Mojang meant nothing to me, and my eyes even kept misreading "Mojang" as "Mahjong", just to add another layer of confusion.


When the actual text of the article doesn't match the title.

Link Bait.

In these instances, the submitter to HN can use a more appropriate title for the content.


Yeah -- this idea that it's this "other" group of people who are the problem is real prevalent pretty much everywhere, on all sides, in this gun debate. I know it's an easy, captivating argument, but that "other-group" argument seems to be part of the problem itself.


Typically advertorials use a distinct font and possibly rules (as in borders, lines) to differentiate itself from straight editorial. Sure, we know the difference. And yes, it actually does feel different, and yes that matters.


Iirc, there are even official guides or laws about distinguishing an advertorial from content.

In TIME magazine, each page is clearly marked 'advertisement' at the top, and the fonts and styling are typically distinct from normal articles.


Pshaw. What a wide canopy you throw, "Journalism!" Are you talking about BuzzFeed's brand of linkbaity lists? The NYT's high-class reportage? National newsmagazines (Newsweek, RIP)? Television news-style storytelling? Or the financial press... or the regional publications out there (Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Houston Chronicle come to mind)... or industry publications -- heck, Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting embarks on journalism, no doubt.

"No follow up article is going to be written in the views are low," you write. Says who? You've proven your ability to cite sources, why not cite this one? Professional editorship is dead? What an assumption.

You mention big media in your edit. Good of you to get more specific with your straw-man, I appreciate that. However, if you're sick of the perceived decline of what you think to be "journalism," call me sick of people who lump the worst of this world of reportage and writing in with everyone else.
