HN is a perfect example of an classic, evergreen product. Or call it a crocodile product, as crocodiles are somewhat location-loyal.

Are there more examples of products that did (on purpose) not change significantly?

If you consider the sentiment on the recent GMail redesign, Facebook, .. it often appears that product managers are the only ones that want to change the product and its appeal. I think Reddit also had the crocodile concept for long time. Google‘s main search page changed minor since the past 10 years. I guess there are more examples (Quora, Craigslist, Wikipedia..?)

@pavlov your examples capture the could-be quite well.

New comment by jermaink in "ShareLaTeX Joins Overleaf"

jermaink — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 21:44:50 +0000

I really hope that the ShareLaTeX UX will survive. If I had to use Overleaf's UI, I might seriously consider canceling the subscription. The dark theme is nothing you want to use on a daily basis. Otherwise, ShareLaTeX also worked much faster and had way better example snippets, I think?

I'm optimistic that you do the transition, with Open Source.

This series might be interesting for anyone interested in a personal story of science at the intersection of research, speaking, travels, and family. Enjoy!

New comment by jermaink in "Comment on “Estimating the reproducibility of psychological science”"

jermaink — Thu, 03 Mar 2016 19:12:39 +0000

"A paper from the Open Science Collaboration (Research Articles, 28 August 2015,aac4716) attempting to replicate 100 published studies suggests that the reproducibility of psychological science is surprisingly low. We show that this article contains three statistical errors and provides no support for such a conclusion. Indeed, the data are consistent with the opposite conclusion, namely, that the reproducibility of psychological science is quite high."

Shannon numbers: Chess: ~ 10^123. Go 19x19: ~ 10^360. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_complexity

As a non-expert, may I ask (as the term does not appear in the paper): How valuable is the Shannon number in order to evaluate "complexity" in your context?
