I studied analytic combinatorics in grad school. Had to be sure not to abbreviate it to "anal comb".

One place you can watch this is Kanopy, if you're a member of a library that has access.

Title should be "Cable channel subscribers grew for the first time in 8 years last quarter" - automatically mangled.

Fixed HN sometimes changes things and I miss it.

I thought this too. But if there was a probe sent out to Ganymede wouldn't we have arrived at it? If Ganymede (the moon) is arriving at Earth we have a whole other set of problems.

I missed hearing about the 2015 version and will seek it out now. Thanks for the pointer!

I'll let the accolades speak for themselves:

But don't read about the plot! Go in as blind as possible. The experience is much more meaningful if you don't know the story beats.


I know the book - is it different from the book?

All I will say is that you have to watch it to understand how it relates to the book. :)

Wikipedia gives 2191 for "at least New Testament", which I assume means all the books of the New Testament, and 698 for the Old and New Testaments. So it's still #1, since #2 (Le Petit Prince) is at 610.

It wouldn't surprise me if the number for the four Gospels is higher than the full New Testament number.

Yes, and that number is too low because some single books you be translated mroe times.

> So it's still #1, since #2 (Le Petit Prince) is at 610.

I am not disputing that. The Bible is far ahead of anything else.

> It wouldn't surprise me if the number for the four Gospels is higher than the full New Testament number.

As there are separate translations of the gospels (e.g. the Lindisfarne Gospels) that must be true. I would be interested in know things such as whether any particular gospel has more translations.



Also IIRC there are some renderings where the firearm is aimed to the left and others aim it to the right. I'm having trouble sourcing this though - maybe this was true in the past or it was some other emoji that implies a direction.


Theoretically, there's a mechanism in Unicode allowing you to aim left and right: https://unicode.org/reports/tr51/#Direction

But I don't think it's implemented widely, if anywhere.


All vendor's guns have always aimed at the left, however there are plenty of discrepancies, collectively referred to as "emoji fragmentation"

Is this at least coming from the direction that the experts expect?


Wrong question, an unreadable "proof" goes nowhere and comes from nowhere.

The painfully staggering density of undefined concepts, novel jargon and informal language in the paper obscures the difference between old ideas, possibly valid new ideas, and worthless AI slop and insanity.


See the maps here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-03-17/this-simp...

Most of the eastern US gets more inches of precipitation than Seattle. But there are few places (mostly in a band from eastern Ohio and West Virginia, across Upstate New York, through to northern New England) that have more days with measurable precipitation than Seattle.

Someone also pulled data on the fifty largest cities: https://www.acsh.org/news/2019/01/16/how-rainy-seattle-its-n.... Seattle is 32nd for amount of rain but 5th (behind Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh in the band I mentioned, and also its neighbor Portland) for number of rainy days.


I think that is basically the map I was asking for, so kudos on that. I still think it fails to capture what it means to be a rainy day. Is about like when Seattle has a snow day. If you are from a place that actually gets snow, you'd scoff at us calling it a snow storm.

I think my favorite is the few times it thunders. People would all move to windows in a sort of awe at the loud noise.


Yeah, you want some threshold for amount of rain that's higher than "measurable precipitation".
