Not just HN. It's the same with Mozilla. They change stuff just because they feel like it. Then their metrics confirm that the users like it (because they have no choice, or the alternative is cumbersome). Then they pat themselves on the back.

If you expect that people are stupid you will get stupid interfaces.
This happens to me. I never realized that anything happened and that the URL changed, which means I would naturally click the back button again, and it takes me to the previous-previous page (which is usually a new tab for me). It's very frustrating.

Edit: this happens on Firefox on Windows. I haven't tried Chrome.

It may be the appeal of a small machine with exceptionally tiny, often handmade parts decorated or at least polished to a beautiful sheen. There is an unquantifiable moment when a crafted item, in this case mechanical, is so well made it slides into a category of art. The watch is not quite an automaton, but it can evoke a bit of wonder and marvel.

The problem for the watch enthusiast is that there is always a watch that is better, artistically or mechanically, or more beautiful. Acquiring one that is affordable is a bit of a hunt, as is increasing one's knowledge of what makes a watch good and beautiful.

It's not nostalgia, I don't believe, but the pleasure of having an item that evokes a bit of wonder.

Interesting story

I used to procastinate a lot in YouTube, so I installed a plug-in in the browser that don't let me get into YouTube.
At the beginning I was worried that it's not going to work for me, because if you use te incognito mode the plug-in doesn't work, so I thinked that every time I would want to procastinate I just open the incognito mode.

But surprise! I'm no longer procastinate in YouTube, because every time that I open YouTube in incognito, the recommendations are sooo bad, that I just scroll a few seconds and get out, and now I'm YouTube free for a long time.
on a Seiko its usually pretty good but again its kinda in the "it depends" category.

Well, clearly the four other auth options they have don't care about what they're being used for.
Well, no, that's why things like government regulations exist. Some business decisions are to keep within, say, a government target for waste produced.

> sugar is glucose + fructose.

That's not the definition of sugar. Not even if you meant sucrose there (which is different from just a mix of glucose and fructose). Wikipedia puts it:

> Sugar is the generic name for sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. ... White sugar is a refined form of sucrose.

I know Wikipedia is not perfect but that matches what I've seen in the past. For example, fructose (by itself) is absolutely a sugar and it would be outrageous to claim it's not because it's not sucrose.
Very cool - thanks for creating this. I just had a glance at the code, and it appears that one advantage over PDF.js is that this codebase seems to be around 1% of the size of PDF.js. That said, playing with the demo it seems like PDF.js is significantly faster and more robust.

Interesting that you forgot to mention the company YOU started to sell Gitea, even after multiple opportunities to mention it. I also checked the maintainer list, you have mentioned democracy many times in this thread, but yet you have not voted, nor maintain gitea.

By not mentioning this major conflict brings your motives into suspicion.
I doubt it because it's a braindead decision. It's also totally out of his wheelhouse. Twitter is not a commercial product, nor is it an engineering project. It's a forum. A really volatile forum. Elon has no experience moderating forums, he's not a site administrator. If he's the one actually calling the shots he's gonna run it into the ground because it simply isn't his field. This is the acquisition the least similar to any of his other successes he's ever made. Such a business simply doesn't run in the same logic as a contractor or manufacturer.
Besides, a huge number of Twitter's core staff just jumped ship the moment they heard the news. That's the relevant experience. That's their product people. They fled. If the brain drain hits the company hard enough and the loosening of moderation goes particularly poorly the whole site is absolutely doomed and he will lose more money than Yahoo acquiring Tumblr did.

Equality of opportunity leads to unequal outcomes because people are not equally productive, equally competent, equally motivated, or equally skilled.

To ask for equality of outcome is to ask for equity, which is a dangerous and disgusting ideology as it requires totalitarianism to enforce. It goes against the deeply western values of freedom and individualism.

If you want equality of outcome, you're welcome to leave and move to a society that shares your values. Just know that your destination society may not allow you to change your mind and come back, because again, enforcing the objective of equality of outcome requires totalitarianism.

To put this into more SWE friendly terms, imagine human beings as different inputs. Some are large, some are small. The socioeconomic system is the function the inputs are being fed into. A equality of opportunity function acts as an exponential multiplier - the 2's become 8's, the 10's become 1000's, and the 100's become 1,000,000's. This is why even those struggling to stay above the poverty line in the USA are often in the top 10% of income globally. Even schoolteachers here making a measly $30,000/y are unfathomably rich by the standards of the 700,000,000+ people living on less than $2/day.

It is true that the 1,000,000s and the 8's have a larger gap than they did when they were 2's and 100's, but even the 2 is substantially better off.

An equality of outcome function takes the floor of the inputs, and simply reduces the value of every other input to match (plus a little added corruption for those at the top). 2's remain 2's. 10's are reduced to 2's. 100's are reduced to 10's ("some animals are more equal than others"). This is fundamentally why the Soviet Union failed - the socioeconomic system kneecapped human potential.

Excellent answer.

The classical answer is "the value of all future dividends, discounted to the present." #2, in other words.

The expectation was, even if it pays no dividends now, when it's really successful it'll start.

Or often it's #1, as you said.
Yep. On Firefox, haven't tried on other browsers. At this point I just hit "back, back, forward" without thinking about it when I see it happen.
I think it in large part comes down to how the performance assessment process manages PMs at an org like Google.
When you're measured at work on your success in 'launching' things, and the evaluation metric comes down to your personal idea authorship and impact generated, there's a profound need to extinguish other paths.
An incremental improvement is insufficient, you need to have launched / authored / designed, and provided personal outsized impact.
Or as an engineer, played some leading role in making this vision reality.
The organization as a whole is constantly on the hunt for these units of work, because the internal metrics encourages this.
X launched and replaces Y is a good story to tell the promo committee.
Iterating on someone else's design is career suicide.

I use YouTube frequently, but I don’t consider myself much of a power user.

I have no idea how I’m “supposed to use” YouTube. I assume because I’m a fairly light user my confusion must be because it has some powerful tools/ interface for power users that confuses light users like me.

But then I try to understand how I should find what I’m looking for and it seems there’s no good / efficient way to use it where I don’t end up wondering why I can’t just click this or that to get what I want.
I use SponsorBlock and uBlock quite heavily but you're missing out on Home. The recommendations are surprisingly good.

For me, it basically takes a guess what topics and themes I find interesting and pulls content around them. Automatic notifications are also pretty good.

YouTube figured out that I like interviews on a certain channel and nothing else, or Ukraine war updates from another channel but not their regular content. Probably through simple similar audience trick but solid selection nevertheless.

For whatever reason, it cannot apply this knowledge to shorts which are dreadfully bad.
I'm reminded of the "I can't send email to anyone over 100 miles away" story. There is, of course, a perfectly rational explanation... but that doesn't change the spooky arbitrariness of it..

This is interesting to me- I'm curious to hear how people use it. I do one of two things:

- search duckduckgo, go to the "videos" tab, then I end up on youtube if that's where the video is.

- go to youtube.com, use the search, pick the video.

- I don't ever like/subscribe/comment on anything.

You have a choice. Try to do business in India and pay bribes or move your business elsewhere.

There are countries of which India is one of them where you can't do any serious business without paying bribes. Serious business is anything where a government official even suspects you may have money to pay the bribe. So maybe not a hairdresser, but if you have money to buy a piece of land you are expected to have money to pay bribes.

There is a lot of examples of large companies that came to the same conclusion. For example, Ikea tried to do business in Russia without paying bribes and gave up. They also decided they will not be supporting corruption but they failed, faced the choice to pay bribes or get out and decided to get out.

India is corrupt to the bone. Corruption is way of life. It is a reason for people to get government jobs which otherwise do not pay enough.

If government jobs do not pay enough and people self select themselves to get these jobs anyway only because they plan on getting bribes to supplement their salary, how prevalent corruption would be?

This actually is the reason why fighting corruption is so hard. Because people self select themselves and displace those who do not accept corruption from those jobs. Then these officials advance and take up high level jobs and pretty soon you have entire structure corrupt to the bone at every level.

Not everyone judges the importance of things the same way. If it is ok to force churches to meet outside (and many churches did), why not force Home Depot to move their goods outside to sell?

> Risk for benefit may be worth taking, depending on how much benefit.

This is true. We each judge both the level of risk of each action we take, and the amount of benefit we gain from it. It is an _individual_ decision whether or not to go into a building, based on our _individual_ level of risk tolerance and our _individual_ benefit from whatever is in the building.

As a result, we long ago decided that if the government wants to step in and ban something that is risky, it must always have a rational basis on which that level of risk is determined. This prevents the government’s decisions from being arbitrary, and from favoring one party or group over others. (There are other requirements as well.)

For example, at some point we decided that crowded buildings were too large a fire risk. The government decided to allow the fire department to regulate the maximum number of people that could occupy every room of every building. In order to prevent this from being arbitrary, the fire department must base their determination on the actual fire risk: the materials the building is made from, the rate at which fire can spread in those materials, the number and size of the exits from the building, etc. The purpose of the building doesn’t matter: a church with 10,000 square feet and fire doors gets exactly the same maximum occupancy as a store with 10,000 square feet and fire doors (all else being equal; a real store would probably get dinged for having a bunch of additional flammable material in it).

It doesn’t matter that some buildings are used for frivolous purposes like entertainment while other are used for serious business. The fire doesn’t care about that, so neither can the fire department. This protects everybody against corruption and abuse of authority. Suppose the Fire Marshall was a crazy Fundamentalist, and arbitrarily decided that your bar should have a maximum occupancy of 2? You’d be out of business, and quite angry. By the same token, suppose the Fire Marshall was anti–religion, and arbitrarily decided that your church should have a maximum occupancy of 2? Same result. The rational basis rule is intended to protect us all from oppression at the hands of our neighbors, even when we have differing ideologies.

A virus doesn’t take into account the importance of the building when it infects people, and therefore pandemic restrictions on occupancy cannot take that into account either.
Well, the only lighter medium format camera which isn't an ancient folder is the Fuji GS645S and it's not much lighter than the T, only 200 grams or so. There is a wide angle version, the GS645W which is even lighter at 680 grams. But it has its quirks: you frame it in portrait mode and the shutter has issues and makes a loud noise as well. You'd be lucky if you find one without fault.

The Rollei T is great but I was fed up with the crank issues on my 3.5 MX-EVS and bought an inexpensive 'cord. What kept me away from the T was the >1 kg weight and also the price. The 'cord is 830 grams but the viewfinder is qiute dim and not usable in weak light.

I too use a digital micro four thirds camera, but a Panasonic with the Leica 15 mm f1.4 and the first edition 20 mm Lumix lens. It's not much lughter than the 'cord

Tend to agree. Given the actor, I'd bet they want you to search multiple times instead of search once and play with filters. They want you to feel lost so you are forced to search.

They absolutely do get red shifted (or blue shifted). In this regard they are no more special than any other electromagnetic wave. That said I don't believe we've got any kind of classification for higher energy EM waves than "gamma rays" so anything that red-shifted to gamma rays would be gamma rays originally anyway.
So Twitter will stop recommending things? No more trending topics? Because right now it actively tries to spread engagement through topical controversy.

Laptop/desktop on Steam. For the "when the screen feels small" it isn't too much additional to set up a gaming space with a larger monitor. It would also then easily transition to Steam Link and using smart TVs or, if you get one, a Steam Deck (I have a Steam Deck, but no Switch).

The other part there is the mod support. There are a number of quality of life things that mods can do (such as https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Supercheese/Squeak%20Through ) which become more important as the factory grows and the "physical" constraints of the game make it difficult to play at the extreme ends.

Continuing on the mod theme, there is also the "once you feel that you have sufficiently beaten the vanilla game, there are a number of ways to mod the game that add complexity or other challenges." I am personally fond of Seablock where the game is a vast ocean with a few small scattered islands. Everything is then made from water. Water -> electrolysis (H and O are vented initially) -> slag -> crushed stone -> (+ water) -> mineralized water -> ore... and that gets you started.

In my own brain I've created 3 different categories :- Others, Developers, Management.

I find it easier to explain stuff to other people by giving context from their field

For example to someone in food industry I'd say, frontend is like how you present your food at the table and back-end is like the kitchen where food is prepared.

To people in development what I've learnt is that you've got to find the right balance, can't dumb it down a lot or can't switch it up, always in the middle.

Management will understand 3 things : Excel, PowerPoint, Money.

That takes care of 90% of my conversation.
Last time I tried this (a few weeks ago), the procedure turned out to be:

1. play video

2. turn off screen

3. video stops, turn on screen

4. pull down the menu from the top, showing a firefox notification with a play button

5. click play

6. turn off screen again

This is on Android 11, YMMV.

I think it's as broad and uncharitable as saying Republicans are racist. It's not that there aren't a lot of people who fall into the category, it's that, by itself, the phrase adds nothing and acts only as an insult to the entire group. You can certainly say that same thing as part of a larger, refined context that trims away the implied spit-at-the-feet of the broader group.
