Re:Time: Yes, it's a dimension, but no, it's not like space on Sunday October 20, 2024 @08:53PM (#41899767)
Here’s something I’ve never understood; perhaps a more knowledgeable commenter can explain it to me.

If I get in a spaceship and accelerate up to about 0.9c, then cruise for a while, then flip around and come home at the same speed, I will have experienced much less time than the people on Earth. But from my frame of reference, they were the ones going really fast, and I was sitting still. If all motion is relative, what makes me the one to experience less time?

As a fourth-year returning volunteer, I strongly agree with all of this!
Re:John Resig annotates original jQuery source code on Tuesday April 07, 2015 @04:20PM (#9336887)
Sorry about this bug! We're working on a fix now.

Definitely one of the biggest challenges in building this product is getting the annotation interface to work consistently in a “host page” environment over which we have pretty much no control or advanced knowledge. So for instance, the jump-you-to-the-top bug isn't something we've seen in the general case; we're currently getting to the bottom of why it's happening on this particular page.
