Why isn’t the solution to reduce the demand for select housing stock, stating that it can only be sold or rented to people who have an on-site job in the town?
For some reason this makes me want a toggle that:

* Moves slowly to about 75% of the way there while you hold the touch/click

* Snaps the rest of the way on release

I’m not sure what this could mean in terms of UX though. Maybe the setting is actually applied or saved at the end.

Or it could be part of an “are you sure?” dialogue. The setting is applied as you hold, but you can hit escape to undo before it snaps into place.

Okay.

Here's the bio of the guy your calling bullshit on [1]...

Dr. Valter Longo is the Edna M. Jones Professor of Gerontology and Biological Sciences and Director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California –Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, Los Angeles, one of the leading centers for research on aging and age-related disease. Dr. Longo is also the Director of the Longevity and Cancer Program at the IFOM Institute of Molecular Oncology in Milan, Italy.

What's your background in the field?

> All it takes is paint and a few bollards.

From all that I've heard, an effective change requires far more than that.

For example, the bollards do make it one step higher than a "bike gutter", but how does the city clean leaves and trash, or snow, from the lane if the normal street sweeper and snow plow can't get in due to the bollards? Instead, you'll need specialized equipment for the lane (or bike lanes which are wide enough for cleaning/clearing equipment), and the political will to not prioritize cleaning the car lanes first.

You can't have bollards at intersections, so you'll end up with drivers using the bike lane as a turn lane, and turning across a lane without noticing that a cyclist is there. With a road redesign you can build in affordances which encourage better interactions than you get with mere paint.

Soyuz isn't reusable and doesn't take advantage of recent advances in manufacturing. I recently saw a capsule flown three years ago and could see the hand beaten panels and ruler marks from the people who were cutting the metal and welding it together by hand. Building them like that will be expensive.

Why does the `reset` command include a delay? (2017)
It didn't improve it for me. I don't want a switch animation that looks (like the designer thought) a physical switch might move. I want a widget to indicate and change some option.

It's not a great type of widget for that anyway, as others said. But either way the animation adds nothing except time the designer could have used to think about a better interface.

The snappy "instant" and simple UIs for Windows 95/2000 era were the best, IMO. It might take a bit to get used to non-animated updates it if you have never experienced it before and seem a bit janky, but it doesn't take long and at least for me feels much nicer.

Quarter of a century of "UX experts" and useless animations and transparency and complicating things has resulted in an objectively worse experience. It's slow, clunky, inconsistent, constantly changing, and doesn't even look good. The technical parts of the drawing, scaling, font rendering, color management, etc are much better of course, but not the overall experience.

UI design was of huge importance to the industry (Apple and Microsoft) when GUIs were first coming in, many people were still getting into the world of computers, and many of those who were using them were not comfortable with them. Improving the experience could be worth a fortune in new market. That's why usability, intuitiveness, and consistency were priorities and it was taken seriously as a discipline, there was research, and changes were made with (at least in part) quantitative data and study.

That field of UI design has basically died in the industry now. At least, it is much smaller and less impactful than it was. Most of it seems to have shifted to getting people to look at and interact with things that they otherwise would not have. I guess shiny new things would help with that, maybe that explains the baffling direction things have gone in.

EDIT: BTW., don't take this as criticism of the linked post. Back when I did a bit of graphics programming I loved tinkering around to make things visually pleasing and behave in interesting ways. The post is fun and interesting, and presented in a way that itself is a nice experience and must have taken a lot of work. And I don't think the author was passing it off as an end to end guideline for a user interface design. And I do accept that a lot of people do like more visually interesting and diverse interfaces. They're wrong, of course, but entitled to their opinion (/s)
This is maybe obvious but it sounds like pretty much anyone would feel amazing switching from the standard diet of processed crap and shitty carbs to vegies and healthy fats.

EG when I do "whole 30" a form of paleo I feel amazing even if I overeat in terms of cals - it's just much cleaner fuel for your body overall.

I just recently came across CORDIC in a fun read I just finished, 'Empire of the Sum', by Keith Houston. It's a history of calculators, and there's a chapter on the HP-35 which used CORDIC. The author goes into some details how it was used by that constrained device.

There are a lot of references given in the book including more details on CORDIC.

So the main idea is that teachers can use examples with PII/user data from gmail etc, but distill task-specific capabilities to students that don’t contain PII/user data. Seems kinda useful for companies that want to utilize private information safely.

Edit: misunderstood the paper on first skim, they don’t actually want smaller students, they might actually want bigger ones. So this is more a privacy thing

> […] pre-calculated lookup tables […]

The approach is older than that. I remember my grandfather's engineering books from 1950's – nearly each of them had a large addendum with the said pre-calculated sine, cosine, tangent and logarithm lookup tables. And there was at least one book that only had such tables and no other information.

That is how engineers used to calculate before the advent of computers.
just use c++11

you don’t need the new features
Computer UIs need animations for the same reason they need shadows, gradients, and momentum: because these are aspects of the physical world that we already know how to interpert, so can be used "for free" to aid our understanding of the UI. Not using animations would likely be more taxing on our visual processing because nothing in the world moves discontinuously, so that would be a new thing to learn when using a computer. The primary reasons not to use an animation should be technical: you can't have it run in a short enough time and still look good, not drop frames, conserve battery life, etc.

The situation for Arab Israeli citizens, fraught as it may be, is not comparable to that of Black Africans under Apartheid, or that of Black Americans in the 1950s. There are Arab Israelis in the Knesset.

I don't have a problem with people calling Israel an "apartheid state", given their occupation of Gaza. Fair enough. But you should be careful not to overplay those cards, because you'll end up making arguments that are easily refuted.

It definitely started before: one of the reasons beta versions of Windows XP had a completely different theme was to prevent application developers from trying to implement the XP theme in some weird, unofficial framework and create broken and inconsistent looking applications by rendering the XP style themselves. As XP wasn't finished yet shipping every real iteration would've probably only caused more of these inconsistencies, so I think shipping the real theme close to release date was the right move.

If applications used the theme APIs, they'd run fine on both beta and production versions of Windows. If applications tried to render bitmaps over title bars and such, they'd look weirdly out of place, because the real theme was extremely different.

Unless you preferred the beta Windows XP style, of course, which some people did. I think there were a few hacks you could do to get the beta theme working on release versions of Windows.
Show me all of the dangerous CCP propaganda on TikTok, because as far as I can tell, China's algorithm is just showing me girls dancing, memes and clips of Fortnite.

If I were to accept, for the sake of argument, the premise that China wanted to trigger a civil war in the US through some massive psyop, literally any social media platform other than TikTok would be better suited for the task. Facebook and Twitter are already radicalization machines. No one is getting radicalized by TikTok.
It doesn't eliminate it silly. It downranks it and upranks things without a lot of tracking relative to Google.

So on Google you miss out on things that might otherwise be hidden gems because Google wouldn't rank it as highly.

There are tradeoffs on both sides.

In a more HN esque theme. Dragon ball was definitely the show that popularized Japanese animation in the west.

But since there wasn't many anime shows aired on TV, one had to reach for the internet to get to download other shows. I remember begging my mom for broadband internet rather than dialup, just to be able to download more shows that I would then share with my friends.

Being able to download anime/share translations was definitely a part of the early nerd/internet culture. And DragonBall was the gateway for many to that. RIP Toriyama-san
Model collapse is basically a myth and is a joke in the ML community. The assumptions for the model collapse paper do not hold in the real world even when training on uncrurated generated data. In fact, LLMs of equal size trained on newer web scrapes which include generated data have enhanced capabilities.

But in practice training data is curated and synthetic generated (curated) training data is even better than human data. State of the art LLMs like Phi;2 or the recent GPT-4 killer Claude 3 are trained entirely or mostly on generated data.

Probably because the US does have a pretty wide diversity, particularly when it comes to religion. In some areas you'll find a lot of Mormons (who are greatly offended by "fuck"), and in some Christians (where some denonimations don't even like the word "crap" let alone "fuck"), in some Catholics who generally don't seem to care (I've heard some Catholic priests let loose some pretty blue streaks lol), and all kinds of others. Then there are people who aren't offended, but don't want to talk that way in front of their kids and don't allow their kids to talk that way. In a workplace in the US (where you can't discriminate based on religion as it's a protected class), it's a very bad idea to use that kind of language unless you know everyone around and you know that they don't mind. Even then, be aware of who might be nearby enough to hear. Getting an HR complaint against you for dropping an f-bomb is embarrasing and not very fun.

Not necessarily, or at least without explicit calculation. Good sundials are marked with a calendar that does that for you. Large analemmatic dials have places marked for each month where you stand the gnomon, which can be a person. There is one by the river in Stratford Upon Avon

There are also dials that include a kind of circular slide rule that implements the equation of time:

Most people that complain about these things don't even realize how much of it is integrated into their daily lives and workflows because it's too natural to notice. You don't need experience to see when someone's done a shitty job, though; just like any other tool, inexperienced people often see poor outcomes as an indictment of a technique, tool, or approach when the practitioner is to blame.
Great UI goal, though what's catching is the change in visual state and colors, which also happens without extra animation, or you can add an extra highlight of the changed item to emphasize the change if state, so this doesn't address the specific issue

"If we found Julius Caesar’s private diary with admonitions to not read it, would we honor that?"

Judging by modern morals, Julius Caesar would be guilty of multiple genocidal war crimes. His private diaries would be rather evidence.

"that public figures private works are often of general interest."

This argument is basically, that if only enough people want something, they get the right. Which is not something I am a huge fan about. And Garcia was no Imperator, deciding the fate of millions, but a private writer.

And the argument about dementia, if he would have been so far away in dementia, while making the decision, I do not think his sons would have judged so harshly about themself:

"We did think about it for about three seconds - was it a betrayal to my parents, to my father's [wishes]?

"And we decided, yes, it was a betrayal. But that's what children are for."

I think this is mainly a internal familiy thing if his sons decide to publish and ignore their fathers wish. But I probably won't read it.

And it is a different case with Kafka:

"Before author Franz Kafka died from tuberculosis in 1924, he told friend Max Brod to burn all of his work. However, between 1925 and 1935 Brod published his collection of works including The Trial, The Castle and Amerika."

Because he told his friend Brod before, that he will ask him to destroy his works once he dies - and Brod told him clearly, that if he will do that, he will refuse and publish it anyway. So rather a kafkaesk joke all in all and no betrayal. If Kafka really would have wanted someone destroy his works, he could have asked someone else.
Meteorites also have a high nickel content.
Your legacy is by definition everything that you leave behind. If you wrote a book that went unpublished and you didn't completely destroy it then it's part of your legacy by default and it doesn't "taint" it if it gets rediscovered. What might get "tainted" is the public image you wanted to uphold, which is made of a subset (usually small) of your legacy.

The point is that refusing to publish a work because it might "taint" someone's legacy is the same as refusing to public a historical academic paper because some new findings you discovered might "taint" some medieval king's legacy. You're not tainting anything, you're just uncovering more truth and more details which will be useful to future people to reach their own conclusions.
Sure. Networking is the obvious one, then comes similar stuff like Bluetooth, then you've got stuff like peripherals; headphones, hardware keyboards, and to a lesser extent stuff like USB storage. You have state changes like charging and not charging. To a lesser extent stuff like switching SIMs or removing SD cards. More broadly, i.e., stuff that isn't networking or peripherals, you have stuff like the screen being on or not, wheyher the screen is locked or not, whether the phone has been unlocked since a restart (and therefore the filesystem still partially encrypted), you have power saving modes, dynamic brightness changes.

While a lot of these also apply to more traditional computing, I'd say on a phone that many of them are more prone to changing rapidly, part of a more integrated device (for instance, turning off your phone screen is usually a very different kind of action that merely turning off your monitor), and generally effect the function of the device to a greater extent. Would you agree?
