That's like claiming every data collection should have a reasonably limited length. Even if that were true, scrollbars in general break when the data gets too large (a pixel of screen movement jumps pages of data) not to mention browser layout performance, memory requirements, etc.

Pagination doesn't work either, because data can shift and you get repeated elements (if the page size is less than the remaining data when moving back to the start) or else truncated pages, or you start on page 10 and move backwards to page -3 before reaching the start. If you jump to a particular element, it requires you to know the absolute offset of all data to calculate page numbers correctly, which when jumping and filtering a large table might be a significant performance cost. Plus it breaks up content - if you're looking at chat history for example, often related messages are broken up into several smaller messages. Having one message on page 10 and the remainder on page 11 would be a terrible experience.

Don't blame this on designers, infinite scroll has been around (apparently?) almost 20 years now. Browsers still don't have an accessible solution despite the ubiquity of this pattern today - browser devs are to blame.

> what makes you so sure that the banking/Wall Street lobby is not larger than the crypto lobby

These are the same. Well, at least Wall Street. Main Street banks may be positioned against (I have seen no evidence of this), but that’s just community banks at this point. The big boys are universal.

What you’re seeing is the environmental and anti-finance lobbies allying. The fact that crypto users see Wall Street as the enemy constrains its leaders, who can’t openly ally with traditional finance on policy without looking compromised.

Anyone on this thread is probably into these kinds of cameras and knows, but just in case (it took me a few seconds)

FF = full frame, refers to sensor size. They are about 1.5x - 1.6x[0] in surface area compared to APS-C sensors.

Sensor size has various benefits in how you frame your photos, and can have larger sensor pixels at the same resolution, which can result in less noisy photos.

One such explainer of the differences: https://expertphotography.com/full-frame-vs-aps-c/

I’ve worked in shops that built enterprise software. It’s not that hard.

SAP and Jira are just not great software. They’ve got excellent sales teams, connections, and probably great support. That’s the key to getting user-hostile software into big orgs.
What I think it's harder to preserve is the fact that modern games are often constantly updated with new content to the point that sometimes not much of the original experience remains. For example Terraria 1.0 is wildy different from 1.4 released almost 10 years later and this can be said of most modern titles, especially ones that were released in early access.
Not to talk about online games, titles like Fortnite, Warframe, Destiny to name a few are all constantly evolving with new content releases that alter basically everything. Good luck preserving and replaying some specific updates if you ever feel nostalgic about it.

> Pornography shouldn't be allowed in public libraries, no?

Why not? Arguably, a library is the best place to place pornography within a proper context as an entertainment/leisure media with social and cultural repercussions and that necessitates additional education to engage with in a healthy way. And to the extent public libraries are supposed to be a socialized equivalent of private libraries - you don't think rich people have a shelf full of porn?

I think America would have much saner attitudes towards sex if most people's first encounter with porn was in a public and literary context rather than the seedy isolated mess it usually is.

(Note that "allowed" is different than "must be in" - a library may choose not to circulate anything for many reasons including low demand and difficulty of handling/maintaining the materials, both of which I imagine is the case. Nonetheless I also suspect virtually all public libraries have some pornography in their collection and plenty probably also in circulation.)

Putting aside the technical impossibility of banning mining, I'd ask a moral question.

If it's widely believed that monopolies are bad, why is this proposal to support the government money monopoly good? Governments that are inflating their own currencies to hell and impoverishing their own citizens are trying to FUD and diminish a potential competitor that cannot possibly be hyperinflated.

The suffering and human misery that is going to come from government destroying the currency with no alternatives available is far worse than even the worst climate change doomsday predictions.

This falls right in line with the recent "hardware offload for all" article posted on HN, and the talks around Hubris that Bryan Cantrill has given. It's an exciting time for computing, I think.

I also wasn't in the industry yet for the early 2000s and the rise of web-scale, though I was at least aware. It's exciting to think about what systems will do over the next twenty years. I'm looking forward to it.

You should read up on other algorithm which were not allowed to be exported outside of USA.

But just to be clear about your wishi washy argument:

It's not arbitrary when they state a reason.

And it's not just some algorithm.

I'm also not sure what a difference it makes if you do something manually or a computer automatically if it's harming others you should be able to ban it.

Like the action of moving your hand very fast into the face of someone else.

Or consuming a lot of energy to guess a random text string faster than others.

Btw. You should also advocate against Bitcoin. The chance that the climate change from Bitcoin is hurting you more than the benefit of Bitcoin is very high

This probably won’t be helpful. But I suspect that if you have spent 15 years in software development without having to do the leetCode/DS&A monkey dance, you were probably doing enterprise/corporate dev.

I spent 25 years doing enterprise/corp dev at unknown companies before I got my first BigTech job and it wasn’t as a “software engineer” it was in the Professional Services department as a cloud consultant (yes it’s a full time role) specializing in “application modernization” - meaning the same type of enterprise dev work using cloud technologies along with a shit ton of yaml, HCL, PowerPoint slides, diagrams, etc. It requires a combination of people skills, project management skills, writing, presenting and technical.

Three of the Big 5 tech companies have similar divisions. I was personally looking at both AWS and Microsoft because while my short at the time “cloud” background was AWS. My development background was in Microsoft technologies.

There are a lot of “older” former pure “software engineers” who pivoted toward consulting and Solution Architects.

My interview was all behavioral except the initial screening was AWS techno trivia.

In an alternate universe where I was rejected from the big three, I might have been greedy enough to “grind leetCode”. It definitely would have been for the money. I never had any desire to be software engineer at a large company. At least now my projects are ones where I can take ownership of the entire project or at least my part from pre-sales to conclusion.

These charges of open lawlessness in tax evasion and money laundering, largely by millionaires, is why we see popular support for such measures.

Sure, they could probably run operations without authorization, or with larger scope than the given authorization. But it would need to be quite a large conspiracy requiring quite a bit of lying and hiding. I think generally speaking these kinds of conspiracies fail to (disgruntled) whistleblowers.

There is a committee in parliament that gets to see secret information, perhaps they could demand to see authorization and activities of a given operation.

It never needed to because criminal law already does that. You had protection from illegal search or seizure long long before the internet even became a thing.
Such an excellent comment!

Indeed maybe that's it: I kind of built this for the tech challenge. So while it's technically interesting it's not 'useful' outside of building JS/TS based editors. Which most people do not do.

Thanks very much for your reply.
I think this depends on what kind of content you are scrolling.

If you know how many items there are and all the items have the same height, then you can simply set the height of your container for the scrollbar to be accurate.

Furthermore you can listen to the scroll event and load the correct items if the user uses the scrollbar to jump to a particular spot.

So I think the bigger problem is a) people being lazy and not implementing this properly b) using this pattern where the preconditions don’t hold.
Most use it very intelligently. I’ve seen some amazing automations and I’ve seen countless simpler businesses running vanilla SAP as they should.

Basic business logic is built into SAP - but because it covers all aspects of business, it’s a massive tangle of rules.

For instance, let’s say you get an invoice from a vendor. Now you have to update your balance with that vendor, and your general ledger. You have to record the new inventory moving in. Perhaps the inventory has a barcode, or a serial number with a warrantee date, or a batch with an expiry date. The inventory movement will be tied to the cost of that invoice - remember to take into account those exchange rates. Also, there’s a variety of ways to account for item cost. You will have had one or more purchase orders - those have to be closed. If the vendor is to be paid in a different currency, you have to do every accounting entry in your currency and theirs, and record the exchange rate differences. Your accounts payable are now in that other currency, which means that has to be updated all the time for accurate bookkeeping. You have to note which employee was the buyer. This buyer has targets and metrics to be tracked. Perhaps there are reports and alerts set up for them. You will have a budget, which may impact this transaction. Of course you also have master data for the vendor, the employee, and the items bought.

There is a lot more to this than the above, and this is for the simplest business case - one that happens hundreds or thousands of times a day depending on the business. Usually there are special considerations to program into the above as well. Now imagine what happens when a complicated situation arises, where you have complex transactions spanning months, many countries, and many other businesses. Sometimes there are legal rules built into the logic. Usually those rules only alply to one country. And I haven’t even mentioned freight or tax or landed costs from secondary invoices.

SAP is a ball of wire because it simply has to be.

If you built a new ERP, you will end up the same.
