Isn’t _bis unter_ akin to “just under”, or “right up to”?

I feel like either of those could work depending on the context and are common in English.


It is "up to but not including".

I’d never heard of this. Neat!


It was the hottest thing you could have as a gamer at the time, since they were so rare. I never saw one, even for sale. That and the Neo Geo. There was a lot more diversity in computing hardware then.


When I was living in Japan in the '90s, the FM-Towns was very heavily promoted. I considered buying one, but by the time I was ready to upgrade, there were better alternatives.


NileRed - NileBlue is his second channel.


They have different taglines, and this video was posted to the NileBlue channel.

NileRed: Capturing the natural beauty of chemistry

NileBlue: Exploring science through sheer incompetence...


Point! Fixed. You can tell how often I'm on YT, chemistry and forging videos aside.


The logs are just noise without a way to prove the users’ intention to use the triple-shift feature for its intended purpose.

Maybe you could normalize it by listening for triple-shift presses on all pages on the site (not just sensitive ones) and calling that a baseline of accidental events.

But, how do we know that events in the baseline are truly accidental? What if users learned the behavior and tried using it on pages where it’s not implemented?

There’s just no good way to get analytics on this feature without interviewing users somehow.


Along these lines, in the GitHub discussion they show a graph of the number of times the button was pressed, bucketed by the platform the user was on, which is all utterly useless info.

It should be normalized as a percentage of page views at the very least.

They’re basically saying “hey we added a big red button and people press it sometimes”. The button could say “fire lasers at my cat” and some amount of people would press it (whether intentional or not).


This is very prescriptive thinking and not constructive. Is there anything wrong with having a distraction, other than just your opinion?

It’s like telling someone with depression/anxiety to “get over it”.


Also, to someone who doesn’t understand how a crane works, it’s use and function are somewhat apparent by looking at the machine.

A computer doesn’t look like it does any particular thing. If it can do surprising thing A, what about surprising thing B? C?


In samples from March-July. Wonder why they just published this now?


July to September is actually a pretty impressive turnaround by biomedical research standards. Many of my papers take a year or more. Just another reason to push for wider usage of preprints.


"A report yesterday in the New England Journal of Medicine details detection of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian flu virus in wastewater from 10 Texas cities during the same time period the virus was detected in Texas cattle herds."

Here's the letter to the Editor https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2405937


The submitted title is wild compared to the article.

Appears that the original title was the submitted title. (Note: I'm not sure how Archive.is works with titles.)


The HN bookmarklet picked up the "What if" title. It's often different from the article title.

EDIT: The "What if" title is from the article's HTML markup...


> The Moral Panic Over Ozempic Misses the Point The media has made the drugs about body politics and our obsession with thinness. That’s the wrong story.


I will say I do use and love Comply tips, I had the same issue where the bundled silicone ones would fall out regardless of the size I used.

But a caveat - the foam tips do start to crumble after a few months, and the AirPods case seems to munch on them a little bit.

As long as you consider them a wear item and not something permanent, I think you’ll be satisfied.
