> One disadvantage of Load More buttons, compared to classic infinite scrolling, is that interaction cost increases - users have to click the Load More button to load more content. Even the small interruption of clicking Load More might make users consume less content and cause them to switch tasks.

I think this paragraph lets slip the main reason for infinite scrolling: it encourages users to consume more content, and the "load more" button offers an escape hatch that helps users break out of whatever dopamine-loop they are trapped in.

The examples in the article are all relatively benign shopping examples, but infinite scroll is put to far more insidious use on "content" apps.

Pagination fundamentally puts the user in control of where they are within a document, and how they want to move through it. I'm not convinced at all by the Google example of infinite scroll with integrated pagination, because I strongly expect that there is no stability to the inclusion or ordering of the items; if you revisit the same page the next day, there's little guarantee that "page 2" will have the same items, making "page 2" meaningless, and the experience just as disorienting.
Firefox Desktop has a built-in JSON viewer if you ever have a JSON endpoint these days. It is quite nice.
It would, but no one pays the real cost of electricity. Some people used to be able to in Texas but they banned that shit really fast once it became obvious that the average asshole can’t cope with real-time wholesale pricing volatility. $9/KWh adds up fast. If everyone had to suffer that same system, it’s possible we wouldn’t have had a winter crisis in 2021.
Yes, we've all seen how well the free market has handled things before.
Where does companies revenue come from? Do they have servers in their data centers or obvious mining rigs?
Not necessarily just for content above the fold there is more than one way to split between critical and non-critical e.g. styles for initial page render vs those used on interaction (for a popup menu for example)

Bitcoin mining converts energy into currency so that instead of having to transmit the energy from where it is generated to where it is needed, you transmit the fungible currency that can be used to buy things in in other regional markets.

The anti-cryptocurrency movement isn't ignorant, it's mendacious and cynical as I'm begining to think they really appear to imagine on a psychological level that everyone else is their subject. This regime uses ideology as a kind of mass neutralizing force where almost everyone is speaking in elliptical gibberish, and even principled people get tarpitted by challenging it, and then a small number of activated people encounter no resistance to locking down the means of production (energy, currency, etc), making them impossible to dig out. A bitcoin ban isn't merely stupid, it's a meta-evil level attempt to sabotage the development of our entire species and secure the reins for these activated few. If that sounds like a conspiracy, consider how many people work directly for the Whitehouse, and it's less than a couple of thousand, with a core policy group of fewer than a couple of hundred, working playbooks provided by their party, which is a machine for working ideological playbooks. Some of the same would be the case with the other team, but this particular playbook I've seen before. I would consider a ban to be an attack on the private economy.

Interesting that I hear a lot about crypto money going to the far right. That may be a thing too but I guess the crypto world is not politically monolithic. That and if you really want influence you spread it around.
My short answer is that I don't know of any.

What would be useful to know is more about these "alternate proofs". There is real and genuine value in having more than one proof of a theorem, especially if it takes a different approach, or has a different "flavour". However, it's impossible to tell without seeing more.

It's unlikely that I would be able to assess his work in any meaningful way, but the first step would be to get people to skim and comment,so it would need to be available somewhere on-line. It would also be helpful if you had information in your profile as to how one might contact you.
> >That's what they told me at the dealership too. I asked "larger than what? Air is a mixture that's already 78% nitrogen." Didn't get an answer.

> No idea about molecule size, but the reason for nitrogen is that it expands less than air when heated, so tire pressure doesn't change as much when driving hard on a track.

Pressure/temperature/volume for any gas are governed by the ideal gas law, which doesn't care what your molecules are.

(Sure, it's an approximation, but certainly one that's imperceptibly reliable enough for car tyres).
Their ability to deal with the real world develops over time, gradually. Some mature topics just can't be evaluated (yet) by immature children, who lack a sense of self identity, sexuality, etc. to fully understand what they're trying to evaluate.

Parents should monitor the challenges presented to their children, ensure that the challenges are level-appropriate, and provide feedback to their kids to help them develop the mental frameworks they need to deal with the real world and its complex decisions. This is an iterative, gradual process.
It reminds me of the ancient concept of patronage. If you were a patron, you housed and fed your client, and in return, they were expected to act the part out. So if you had a garden hermit, they needed to act their part out, and act grateful and glad to you. If you treated them badly, say, giving them a crappy house to hermit about in, they were expected to still act grateful to your face, but damage your reputation behind your back.

Somewhere today the concept of cultural patronage is still a thing. We the audience give you clicks and attention and see the ads that make you dollars, you the influencer play the role of an entertainer that gives us enjoyment for giving you our entertainment. We've identified what parts of you entertain us, so play your part, client.

And thus the influencer is in some ways the influenced.
Wasn’t the Angular to Angular 2 switch driven by React?

I distinctly remember when React came out, pretty much every framework out there had to pivot to incorporate at least one of the 2 major ideas React brought with it (or at least, these were the most immediately beneficial features at a time when IE was still officially supported). The virtual DOM and one way data binding.

One way data binding didn’t even exist as an option in any other web framework and it was such a breath of fresh air. In fact, competing frameworks used to strongly advertise the fact that they had 2 way binding and how awesome it was. And 2 way binding looked great in your toy TodoMVC app, but absolutely failed when developing applications for real world use.

And the virtual DOM was so much faster when it first came out.
I started playing with websockets for the first time more than 5 years ago. I knew of them for a long time but never played with them. Websockets are the only bidirectional communications channel supported by the browser. Websockets proved amazing for live updates to a browser app, because otherwise you have to poll the server with repeated HTTP requests. So, I knew of websockets already in a very limited sense.

In my personal application I was still using HTTP for almost everything except communicating with the browser, up until last year. I knew a little (very little) of how network communications work in the lower level from my part time info sec job more than a decade ago, so I had the life experience to know I could go further and do more than the clumsiness of HTTP. I didn't really know much about the internals of how websockets work (or even sockets/streams in general). At that point I was using a popular Node library to do all the socket management.

I made the decision to write my own websocket library to meet the specific needs of my application directly as a Node TLS stream interface. This took me about a month to figure out and I required coaching from somebody that was good with binary. I managed to figure it. Switching from HTTP to a socket based communication architecture and managing all network traffic from a single point in my application reduced my test automation time from about 45 seconds to about 7.5 seconds. In the past month I learned to cycle through my socket message queue using an event oriented approach on message drain as opposed to as fast as possible in the code to further reduce that test automation time down to 6.22 seconds. I knew there was a potential for improved execution performance, but not by that much. The purpose was only to liberate the application from the round trips imposed by HTTP instead of a one-way fire and forget approach.

This required a large investment in time to revision my communications architecture and going through the trials (repeated failures) in running a socket library of my own written from scratch. But now my application manages application layer communications faster than anything I have seen in the corporate world in my nearly 20 years of corporate software experience. I have learned architecture through constant refactoring and attempts to impose simplicity (don't repeat yourself principle).
Not only this, but every time it happens I have to wonder how it is that designers have never tried to actually use the scrollbar, getting to the bottom only to have it double in length, the placekeeper jumps out from underneath your cursor, the scrollbar then detects your cursor, and bam, you just skipped half the content without meaning to and it is virtually impossible to get back to where you were. This gets even worse when it isn't a list of entries you're reading but a single very long article or comment thread that should have just been paginated to begin with. It seems entirely motivated by a basic laziness of not wanting to create separate mobile and non-mobile views and defaulting everything to mobile-friendly even if it destroys the browsing experience of people using ordinary desktops and laptops.
Interesting post, though two of the examples have always been oddities.

Louise Mench was leading anti-bullying campaigns on Twitter and bullying people on Twitter for example.

And Quilliam are the ex-extremist Muslims who did a 180 and parroted whatever the weird anti-islam movement after 9/11 wanted to hear.

These were not sober thinkers led down a path by their audience.
I don't know what legal avenue will be taken should the federal government pursue a ban, but that's probably not it. As you point out, that would have unpleasant slippery slope consequences. At the same time, it's pretty obvious that something needs to change.

As-is, currency mining is an effective means to leverage low electricity prices around the world and is very-often more lucrative than producing things we actually use to improve our standard of living. Suppose you impose carbon taxes, you'll (often) be preferentially biasing towards mining over e.g., aluminum or glass manufacturing, driving physical goods shortages. And even if the entire grid were renewables, you haven't really solved the "it's more profitable to make digital goods than physical ones" problem.

So you search for regulation that is biased against the digital currency but not against uses of energy. Maybe a digital currency transaction fee, like a sales tax, that puts a ton of drag and downward pressure on the currency? It could be huge, and it could be modulated by the energy use that any given currency represents or the CPI. Of course you have the cooperation problem; taxing the life out of a currency in one country is only modestly useful.

It's a thorny problem.
The other crypto stuff seems like it’s designed for money or utility (or scammy crap). Bitcoin on the other hand seems like a religion.

All hail the great Satoshi. Thou shalt not change but one #define.
Not sure why you were downvoted. Parts of the book are indeed timeless!

My favorite but is the idea that out of the jumble of documents produced, a few emerge as the pivot around which the majority of the team’s communication revolves.

I’ve seen very effective project leads use this to great effect. Rather than robotically using boilerplate document templates they discover the most precise format for the project at hand.
There was a great talk I can't find right now about how the share of computer hardware that it's directly controlled by the OS kernel keeps on shrinking.

In a modern smartphone, the OS directly controls just one of a dozen chips. The rest are running their own OSes which do their own thing independently of the main OS.
>The plan isn't "banning bitcoin".

That phrase was not in OP's post, yet you're quoting them on it and then excoriating them for saying something that they didn't. They said:

>... commonly used algorithm...

Which is exactly how coins are mined! Which makes OP correct (sort of, they said "President" and not "Congress") because your own quoted comment says:

>... Congress might consider legislation, to limit or eliminate the use of high energy intensity consensus mechanisms for crypto-asset mining.
It might, or Russia might set off a nuke in the next month. That's their doctrine for when they're losing conventionally, after all, and they've certainly threatened it. If that happens gas is going to go sky-high, as we'll probably be immersed in WW3.

Hard to predict the future, particularly in times of crisis. I'd expect expectations to ebb and flow like they have since the pandemic started.
Yes, regulating Bitcoin directly would be bad. The much better solution is to make it more expensive for everyone else who has no interest in it to cook their food. That's obviously the correct way to deal with this.
Diesnt the GCP search bar already search resources? It does seem like there are a few data fields that aren't indexed that I would like to be but it handles the cases I see in the demo.

What this is really needed for is AWS because they don't really have a cross-region search.
To be clear, this was out of scope of the bounty, it was a bug in Apple, that TB awarded anyway.
I think there might be a miss alignment of values here.

It all depends on what you see the purpose of the company to be.

Some people are dedicated to the company as an entity of it’s own and the product they build and the people working there. It is a valid and respectable way of looking at things. From your post, I have a sense you might fall into this category. Assuming you subscribe to this point of view, it makes sense to consider the retreat an abuse.

Other people do not see companies like this. Instead, they see the company as an means to an end. A tool to use for enhancing financial opportunities and abilities and living a full, luxurious, rich and comfortable life. I believe this too is a valid and respectable way of approaching things. This is how I personally view companies and their purpose. With this point of view, a vacation expensed on the company is not an abuse. It’s the intended purpose.

If you would like to see a decent portrait of this different philosophies I would recommend seeing the difference between Dany Crane and Paul Lewiston in Boston Legal.

Of course it might also be the case this was a miss alignment of business strategy and not fundamental values. If he invited the business partners perhaps he saw it as a business opportunity to renew contracts, perhaps upsell more services, etc.

Whatever the case might be, I think a very frank discussion between the two of you is in order. Business strategy should be aligned, yes, but far more importantly, fundamental outlook on what the company is for.

Best advice I can give you is, don’t leave this unaddressed but address it in a professional manner in order to understand where the other co-funder is coming from. Once you understand his position you will be in a position where you can make an informed decision about your future and the future of the company.
Prediction: One day western countries (or maybe some other faction) will prohibit transactions with certain entities. Many (most?) large stakeholders will need to abide and not approve those transactions (because they're large public entities).

People will attempt to run slashers against the regulated stakeholders because they're not doing their job right and just kind of hope that in a system that only works because wealthy people would refuse to lose money otherwise; that the wealthy people would be willing to lose money.

So the rich regulated forks will say fuck you and a fork will be the only solution that schisms the chain into a regulated fork where the rich people maintain a truth hat they've never done wrong and a non regulated fork where they have. People like off ramps to actual dollars so the regulated one will retain value while the other one drops rapidly. Stakeholders that think its cool to help people dodge sanctions will just lose their stakes by means of PoS because they're not maintaining "The Truth" in the regulated fork that they don't approve of and by declining market value in the fork that they do.

And in one glorious moment the PoS ecosystem will kick out all the decentralized dreamers
A peer reviewed study? Come now, this is a profit seeking book. In order to verify these claims I would have to read an entire book. It’s preposterous to cite as evidence what is basically a novel.
I think the opposite happened in this show. Penny was a dumb midwestern actress wannabe and evolved into a complex character, for example.

In essence, they were all conceived as extremely flanderized and acquired complex traits over time.
The notion of democracy has evolved over time and nowadays is commonly understood to be a gradient, encompassing a number of democratic indicators in addition to free and fair elections: freedom of press, freedom of assembly, respect for the individual, civil rights... There are a number of 'democratic indexes' like the Freedom in the World index by Freedom House and The Economist's Democracy Index. A contry can score low even if technically its citizens are able to vote. You can read more about democracy in an excellent book by Bernard Crick, 'Democracy: A Very Short Introduction' (2002), by Oxford University Press.
I have both, a used Nikon D700 FX and a used D300 DX with 12 MP each. Why? Because FX is just nice to work with, it feels a lot like film. DX on the other hand is the best teleconverter you can think of, turning a 300mm FX lens into a 450mm one.

> You might be thinking of 1984, but that's quite the reach too.

I’d say 1984 plus Brave New World.

Not much of a reach either, we have PC for Newspeak, and lots of pharmaceutical support behind the social fabric.
Can SDEIIIs have/hire supportive staff to deal with the managerial tasks the don't like?

I once basically had a part time secretary and it was fantastic. A few hours a week could even be enough, it just frees up so much mental space. It boggles my mind this is not the norm.
Thanks for the feedback! So far I plan on making this a stepping stone for a fully integrated HN reader, where you can read the whole thing in-page, and for those pages that cannot be parsed (paywalls etc) to just redirect to the original. I prefer not to circumvent any barriers nor hide the user agent for that, and in my situation instead just redirect to the original.

I should also find a better html-to-markdown parser, thanks for the recommendation there! From the "example", yes you guessed "readability" perfectly. And for downloading the page just fetch() + jsdom.

Suggestions:

- [JS]: I use fetch+jsdom, so no JS parsed at all! I've found most content-heavy websites (a.k.a. articles, blog posts, etc) are server-side-rendered, haven't searched too many but so far no issue without JS. Might move to puppeteer at some point for either failed parses with jsdom or for a domain whitelist if I keep one at some point.

- [header]: Already mentioned

- [Front matter]: Right now I'm actually returning two custom headers, `title` and `url`, might add more in the future. I did consider front-matter, but I want to keep the body as "raw" as possible.

- Edit: what I'm considering next is an endpoint to download articles with basic HTML style, or as pdf/epub.
This is quite a silly view. Bitcoin mining doesn’t convert energy into currency, it’s using computation as a consensus mechanism for a distributed ledger. This consensus can be achieved many other ways, as seen by the myriad of other coins popping up with their own mechanisms.

Proof of work is the most wasteful way of doing so. It creates an infinite race of seeing who has more compute, as it actively rewards those who consume more energy.

You’re seeing things that aren’t there in both sides of the argument. I have no idea what the last few sentences are supposed to mean, but bitcoin dying is not the end of the human species, that’s just silly.
Love the concept of the explainer video. But am I the only one that didn't understand what this does? I had to watch the video twice and really read the readme to finally get it.

Am I understanding that this is a fancy way of doing:
- SSH to server
- Create docker container (or Kubernetes)
- docker exec -it container /bin/bash
But in 1 command & auto cleanup?

Pretty neat. Not sure I have a use for it though. Would've loved to see more use case in the docs (along with making the video explain the project better since it's a great concept!)
sounds intriguing. is there a blog post with your setup? can this be (easily) used between several developers? each needs their own server? can the server spin on-demand?
You beat me to it.

Of course a US corporation isn't going to list the US as a source of propaganda or a surveillance state.

Wikileaks has shown the US has a huge surveillance apparatus. I suspect the fb.com poster is either a spook, or extremely naive.
Yes, the Bitcoin Maximalists which are based, red-pilled, on carnivore diet, gun totting, rolling coal, ...

One of them (Tone Vays) even participated in the Stop the Steal marches and Jan 6 riots.
Thanks @eternalban!

Awesome to read your comment here—appreciate the well wishes!
A D750 does, not that I would do it. I'd rather have FX lenses on a DX body to get the additional reach. Heck, why pay prime money for a FX body to use DX lenses on?
You might like to review the book Evidence-based Software Engineering, which is freely available online: http://www.knosof.co.uk/ESEUR/
It's definitely a cliché to point it out but... religions themselves are pretty scammy and money-oriented in their own right.
If dang or someone could edit my original title submission to fit the field it would be great. It would seem that the Android client I'm using truncates titles without warning.
> calls political donation the highest form of return of investment that exists

Well, he seems to be shitposting or knowingly lying, then. It says he has a $30 billion fortune currently, yet still drives a Corolla and uses his parent's Netflix account, so he apparently wasn't super rich to begin with. So unless he thinks he's going to become the world's first multi-trillionaire, there is no $100 mil to $1 bil investment that can return what he got out of starting his current business, which wasn't a political donation.

Or he means something non-financial by "highest form," as in he might actually care about the Democratic agenda apart from whether it can make him even richer or not.
I would not, they are electronic junk. Even many low tier Chinese brands are higher quality with less bloatware included.
True, but cultures persist unless there is an active effort to change it.

Acknowledging the institution was wrong would be the first step to changing the culture.
A save/export functionality would be awesome.
Can I run (train?) this textual inversion using the same consumer GPUs that work with stable-diffusion? Or does it require a much beefier machine
