Hmm I don't really see any evidence of this


You must have missed the few instances when the NYT ran a rare Trump headline that could be regarded as positive, then promptly edited it to include leftward spin under the guise of 'adding context'. Here's the NYT's own reporting on one such instance:

"A print headline on Tuesday’s front page for an article about President Trump’s statement addressing last weekend’s mass shootings has added to a continuing debate over how news organizations cover his administration.

Times editors were concerned that the initial headline — “Trump Urges Unity vs. Racism” — did not contextualize Mr. Trump’s message on Monday and decided to change it for later editions to “Assailing Hate but Not Guns.”"

This strikes me as an open acknowledgement that negative spin is a hard requirement when reporting on Donald Trump at the New York Times.

Good example. Trump continuing to not be an advocate for gun control is not news.


This editorial stance is a historical bias the NYT has had since at least the 1960s. You always had to read past it, if you chose to read at all. Some very good content wrapped in editorial offal. Made for a few good laughs if you were in on it.

It came out harder (to the point of abuse) on Trump because Trump is from NYC (big plus), major player in revitalization of Manhattan (big plus), big in pop media industry (umm, sort of plus) but was everything the UWS wasn’t (how dare that Republican Queens lowlife). If there ever was a use case for the word “intersectionality”, it would be the NYT view of Donald. And the NYT didn’t navigate those choppy seas well.


I think moving the status bar to the location bar was a bad idea. The area in and around the location bar is already quite cluttered so I don't see the point. In many cases the bar isn't even big enough for the entire URL of the link being hovered over, unlike when it was in the status bar.

At least it kinda looks nice.



it's here. (beta)

I get redirected to the http site. (I use Duck Duck Go---which is encrypted---but I just wanted to let you know.)


My guess is that it's being slowly rolled out to some of Google's front-end servers. I'll get the SSL homepage one load, then a few minutes later when I'm round-robinned to a different server, I get redirected to http://.


Must be something on your end, works fine for me: http://i.imgur.com/ssbIT.png


Works fine here.


Two things hold me back from using Chrome on OS X:

1) Chrome's many non-standard (and ugly) UI elements. Especially the dropdown menus in the bookmarks bar.

2) Firebug - Webkit's web inspector still isn't quite there yet.

Otherwise I would switch to Chrome in a heartbeat :D


I sincerely hope with #1 you are comparing Chrome to Safari and not Firefox.


Totally agree. Although I actually use a thick black sock where the top and bottom are sewed together :). I lose face masks all the time so I started to just make my own and not worry about losing them.


On newsley, I don't think making the description a link is a good idea. Digg does this too and I find it very annoying as I'll accidentally click it sometimes (for example, if I want to copy and paste it). I'd also suggest making the description text a lighter color so the titles stand out a bit more.


Thanks for the feedback. I'm working on making some design changes to the site. Changing the color of the description text is a good idea.

And, thanks for the input on changing the description text to make it unclickable. I'll have to think that one through a bit.


Interesting. Pattern matching, eh? I'm pretty good with regular expressions... sign me up!

:)


Wait a couple of years and you can use MacRuby ;D


I think your writing was fine! I like seeing some style with programming talk :D


For a smallish project that you can figure out fairly easily, I recommend the Kohana framework. It's extremely well documented and it's quite easy to read. Many people actually recommend reading its source to supplement the documentation and after having to do so myself I can see why.
