I'm already seeing the paginated search result page, perhaps I got assigned to the right AB test bin.

And I can confirm, I searched for "facebook" and got 7 pages of results; last page was YouTube results only.

Has that ever actually happened? Or do you have any reason to believe it might in the future?
Or Google Sheets, which is even more complex.

It gets particularly tricky when you got tons of data to be rendered but can't keep DOM in memory - you need to scroll virtually.

Even 1000dpi might not cut it. Remember the stories about really old texts on parchment that they discovered had been re-written on reused parchment? At certain specific wavelengths they could "see" the original text. If you just have a plain old RGB scan, that's no longer there.

More for paintings, and less so for books (except very old handwritten ones), is that the ink or paint used has its own characteristics. It might look very different from different angles due to the light reflecting off the pigment in different ways. Doesn't matter how high a resolution scan you have, it's going to be hard to scan that, and even harder to display it on a screen.

Bring back the Dashboard, Apple! The original Dashboard was dropped because of it's shaky technology foundations, but the UX was fantastic and much better than the widgets buried in the notification centre or cluttering the desktop that we have today.

Now that we have modern native Widgets on macOS X, they need a place where they can thrive, and look cool, and be quickly accessible. Dashboard!

It's possible to use gaussian variables and use gaussian error propagation, for an implementation see https://gvar.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ which is critical for the lsqfit library https://lsqfit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

In gvar everything by default is normally distributed, but you can add_distribution, log-normal is provided, for example. You can also specify the covariance matrix between a set of values, which will be correctly propagated.

A couple of hours every day?

I spend 8 hours a day sleeping and 8 hours a day at work. Anther 4 hours in meal prep and consumption, personal hygiene, commuting, and mandatory household chores. That leaves 4 hours a day in elective time. Now you suggest I dedicate 50% of that time in non-productive exercise where I'm stuck with my own thoughts and no other mental stimulation while being physically uncomfortable?

Or once a month I could go to the doctor and get a shot.

I can see the appeal of Ozempic.

Now mind, I'm not overweight, but I do have diabetes and mild hypertension controlled through diet and, until my old dog "went to sleep" recently, regular exercise. I don't like the diet and often resented the twice daily long walks in all kinds of weather but still prefer that over chronic medication, especially one delivered through a means the gods did not give you an orifice for. My choice, but I respect other people's choices.
If by "pretty apt" you meant "really effective into keeping their users scrolling mindlessly and contributing to the 'doomscrolling' effect", yep. Seems to be pretty great for them.

The funny thing is that for us who don't use Instagram or Twitter they won't let us scroll past a screen height without asking to be logged in...
In some companies yes, but in other ones when comparing two similarly priced products, the decision will be made based on something else than just a budget.

Currently often the narrative is “we have it included for $0, why would we pay $100 per year per employee for a similar product?”

There are three ways to resolve this paradox:

1. Accept that our intuition about volumes is off when dealing with point clouds so weird that they cannot actually be described, but require the axiom of choice to concoct them.

2. Reject the axiom of choice and adopt the axiom of determinacy. This axiom restores our intuition about volumes to all subsets of Euclidean space, at the expense of which sets can be formed. (That said, the axiom of determinacy allows other sets to be formed which are not possible with the axiom of choice, so it wouldn't be correct to state that the axiom of determinacy causes the set-theoretic universe to shrink.)

3. Keep logic and set theory as it is, but employ locales instead of topological or metric spaces. Locales are an alternative formalization of the intuitive notion of spaces. For many purposes, there are little differences between locales and more traditional sorts of spaces. But, crucially, a locale can be nontrivial even if it does not contain any points. Locale-theoretically, the five pieces appearing in the Banach–Tarski paradox have a nontrivial overlap (even though no points are contained in the overlapping regions), hence you wouldn't expect the volumes to add up.

I tried to give a varied account on the axiom of choice at the Chaos Communication Congress once, the slides are here: https://www.speicherleck.de/iblech/stuff/37c3-axiom-of-choic...

To be fair, this is mostly due to Youtube and their very strict "no video playback when the app isn't open" policies. If you were using any other app, anything from Spotify to really niche audiobook apps, you wouldn't have that problem.

Most peer-review procedures I know of are actually double blind, so the reviewers do not know the author and vice versa. Only in the final publishing step do you add a name, should be easy enough to use a pseudonym.

> In the story above, a competitor to Teams couldn't "keep up". Is that really Microsoft's problem? Should Microsoft have made Teams more useless, more expensive, or less integrated so that competitors that couldn't make their own cheaper or better version had a chance to keep getting customers?

Well, they should at very least make Teams interoperable like every other goddamn service should be - or be forced to do so.

Indeed, and one can give specific metatheorems in this direction:

For instance, regarding statements of the form "for all natural numbers x, there is a natural number y such that %", where in "%" no further quantifiers appear, there is no difference between ZFC (Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice), ZF (set theory without the axiom of choice) and IZF (set theory without the axiom of choice and without the law of excluded middle).

Any ZFC-proof of such a statement can be mechanically transformed to an IZF-proof, with just a modest increase in proof length.

What is expensive to you? 200EUR works out to a few euros a week. That is fantastic value compared to anything I have experienced in other EU countries in this decade.
LOL, if you minimize every natural obstacle to growth[1] and consider that the vast majority of everything is purely a result of population, and at the same time discounting the huge population ceiling difference between the US and Germany, then yeah, nothing matters anymore.

You cannot be a long term world power without abundant natural resources of almost every type. Having lots of smart and rich people obviously puts you in a good position, but we're arguing about being #1-2 in the world, not #20.

Also for the hypothetical German-led union, the EU, after 70 years of efforts, is still a weak confederation. It's weaker than even the original US based on the Articles of Confederation.

This should be quantifiable. Use an LLM to help identify this undercurrent you’re referring to in maybe 10,000 conversation threads using the API from the footer. A thread being a reply to a topic, and a singular chain of replies.

Then use that to train an RNN for sentiment analysis based on the values you’ve just described.

Then run the entire HN corpus through your RNN and chart the values over time.

For bonus points, incorporate the score of replies in the weighting of values.
The limit for duty-free has existed for a long time (in 2002 I bought a a 5x10x20 pack on my way out of the country, and was warned I wouldn't be able to bring it back. This is quite a distinct memory as I remember quite proudly telling them I wasn't coming back!)

I believe what's been lost is the "booze cruise" intra-EU option (where tax has been paid elsewhere in the EU) where the limit is "for personal use", an incredibly vague limit where the onus is on you to convince customs that you have no intent to sell.

Should it actually be anti-trust to bundle various office applications together? Are they actually related enough that they can only be sold as a bundle? Or have we just gotten used to the concept of an Office Suite that we can no longer imagine them as separate pieces of software?

Technically you can still purchase the Microsoft Office applications individually, though I doubt that anyone does. Would anyone actually mix and match word processors, spreadsheets, presentation software from different vendors? You cannot buy or use Google Office applications individually though, as it's only available online through an account that you need to setup.

This is where the main question of this anti-trust and anti-competative behaviour comes in - how far can a company go in bundling products together?

Currently Microsoft (and let's not forget Google) are bundling together more or less a collection of: Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Presentation, Email Client, Database, Diagramming, Note Taking, ToDo List, File Sharing, Chat Communications, Video Communications, Project Planning, File Storage, Desktop Publishing, Data Visualisation, and more.

How much further can this bundling go? Would we have a world where you spin up a Microsoft Office which includes access passes, coffee, payment processing, accounting, etc? Where would be the line between using an Office Suite and where would be the line for other companies to provide products and services?

Yes, that's true of TypeScript in general. Code that fails type checking still gets emitted as JS.

It's a bit annoying, but there's good reason for it. However, it can be controlled with compilerOptions.noEmitOnError (can be passed as a flag too).

https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#noEmitOnError

That being said, if using something like SWC or wrappers that's less useful, since they don't type check.

TypeScript is great, but setting up projects that use it often come with some tradeoff (but I still think TS is worth it)
That's just an interactive rebase with extra steps.

Funny. I get 50 results for "facebook" - ending with:

In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 50 already displayed.

The Google search page faux-infinite scroll is not just clumsy, it also breaks "back" navigation if you click through, then back, after loading more results.
(edit: to clarify, I have the continuous scroll setting off, so it's "incremental infinite scroll" where More Results loads more results inline)

Not really, no. GEOS on top of a ROM DOS did something similar, albeit in a much more primitive sort of way.

GEOS was the OS of the HP OmniGo 100, Omnigo 700, and original Communicator 9000, IIRC. Symbian was the OS of the later Communicators, like the E90 I owned.

GEOS is built on DOS: single tasking, no memory management, text mode, took 640 kB of RAM with apps.

Symbian is EPOC32, EPOC version 5. EPOC 16, its forerunner, ran on an 8086, and in 256kB of RAM it had a full GUI, with multitasking graphical apps, and a dynamic RAMdisk, and it was stable enough to run for months, on 2 AA batteries, with that RAMdisk as the sole storage for all those multitasking apps.

EPOC is to DOS as a Tesla Roadster to a Model T Ford.

Saying that, I am watching GEOS with interest, and I have suggested to the FreeDOS folks that they should incorporate it. Currently the most mature functional FreeDOS GUI is FreeGEM but Geos does much much more.
They have infinite scroll for the YouTube search results but the irony is that the top search results are often not the ones you are looking for so you have to scroll somewhere to the middle to find useful results (or try different query or filters) and the bottom ones are something like related/similar videos from that topic.

you said

> The narrative presented in that post also ignores the fact that after the initial investigation, the case was dropped - it was only reinstated because the legal representative of the women involved asked that it be reviewed

the post says

> · After an arrest warrant was issued a senior prosecutor named Eva Finne pulled rank and canceled it, dropping the matter completely on August 25th saying the evidence “disclosed no crime at all.”

> · Out of the blue it was restarted again on the 29th, this time by another prosecutor named Marianne Ny.

your first claim in the quoted sentence is that the post ignores that the case was dropped. it does not ignore it; it explicitly describes the case being dropped, explaining how and why. indeed, a large fraction of the post is devoted to discussing these facts from different angles

your second claim is that the case was only reinstated on the request of 'the legal representative of the women involved'. the post does not rebut this so much as it flatly denies it; that's not surprising, since it's a claim i haven't heard before, so possibly she hadn't heard of it either

your thread gives no source for this claim, but i see it's backed up by https://web.archive.org/web/20190502114026/https://www.aklag... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claes_Borgstr%C3%B6m so it's a fair point that it's a claim johnstone should have heard of and should have addressed

additionally, in the context of replying to a link to this post, your perfectly objectively correct lead-in text

> She described being in a situation where she was unable to give consent, and where Assange acted in a way that violated her previous expression of consent (in that she'd expressly only agreed to sex if he wore a condom, and in this case he didn't).

implies that caitlin johnstone, the author of the post that you were presumably commenting on, believed or at least suggested that the alleged situation would not amount to a crime, if it had happened. the point of view you are implicitly imputing to her is one that she vehemently disclaims at length in the linked post. for example, she writes:

> I see a lot of well-meaning Assange defenders using some very weak and unhelpful arguments against this smear, suggesting for example that having unprotected sex without the woman’s permission shouldn’t qualify as sexual assault or that if AA had been assaulted she would necessarily have conducted herself differently afterward. Any line of argumentation like that is going to look very cringey to people like myself who believe rape culture is a ubiquitous societal illness that needs to be rolled back far beyond the conventional understanding of rape as a stranger in a dark alley forcibly penetrating some man’s wife or daughter at knifepoint. Don’t try to justify what Assange is accused of having done, just point out that there’s no actual evidence that he is guilty and that very powerful people have clearly been pulling some strings behind the scenes of this narrative.

Well, in principle, the Universe can be infinite.

Sure, we cannot measure infinity, but to be fair, all mathematical concepts (when looked at closely enough) are not something we measure directly.

Even if a kindergarten-level maths of "there are three apples," we do an abstraction. We need to decide that something is a separate object, an apple (how big or small should a fruit be an apple? if there is a bite, is it an apple? etc, etc) - usually with an assumption that all apples are the same (which we know is not true, but serves as an useful approximation).
