Google has given up on improving search, much like Microsoft did with IE6 when it became the dominant player. Only real competition would force them to start improving again.

Here is my own userscript that removes any matching URL portions from Google search. It does it in a fancy way with stylesheets so that you never see the Quora, etc results even temporarily before they're removed. It also fixes Google Images to link directly to images again, removes all the tracking URL obfuscations, and more.

Should be more robust than the other alternatives listed, but if not, let me know. I'm always up for improving it more. Contributions also welcome.
I use Firefox on Android. YT app is unbearable.
Asymmetric setup. I keep more room on my dominant hand so I can write. It also adds as a way for people to drop by my desk and use the spare room for shoulder surfing.
After reddit started banning people for upvoting the wrong things, this is a logical next step. Contrary to the popular belief, slippery slope isn't a logical fallacy.

Anonymity is the only way to combat this. Make sure your online identity isn't connected to your real name. Ideally, you should have separate identities for each website. Using Tor or a VPN is also a good idea.
So then you'd be fine to pay a bit extra for a co-working hub.
Same, I was hoping to find an article about some kind of little known bodybuilding metis subculture
Even though I somewhat agree with Matt's points, I found the ad both tasteless and funny.
For people who are saying "but losing Twitch kills your career":

In the entertainment industry in general, facing repercussions (including being unable to get any gigs whatsoever) for your actions outside of direct involvement in entertainment has long been the norm. There are several recent examples that people attribute to cancel culture, but the problem goes all the way back at least as far as the 1940s (see the Hollywood blacklist during McCarthyism).

Why should people who stream on Twitch be immune to pressures that those who work for Hollywood have to endure?
Text isn't the only thing I want to be able to send to people. I wish there were a universal "send thing" api that could be implemented for text, images, money, whatever.
A lot of it seems to be the context that they're operating in: Oracle seems to be a really brutal environment for sales staff; I see account managers disappear every 6-12 months, and everything I've heard from people who work for resellers or Oracle in those kind of roles paints it as being absolutely ruthless in a "Glengarry Glen Ross" kind of way.
There is actually no harm in trying out Nix locally on your machine. You install it to, say, /nix and all Nix will ever touch is this very directory.
Well consider this my last post on this account but here ya go:

I was in marketing and learned to code. In 2019 I quit my job to launch a startup in the live entertainment industry. Things were going well until Covid hit. I had to shut things down and I was grateful to have left marketing and switching to development. But make no mistake I'd rather be running my business.

You tried to string together a post history and make assumptions to discredit my original comment. It was rude.
I should start noting all those bugs, because I see them almost every day. But to be honest even "regular" web sites are guilty, especially with ctrl/cmd-click.
Hearing the testimony from Pao, it sounded to me like she lied on many occasions (no proof to backup her claims), slept with co-workers to get ahead at the company (she admit she slept with a married man), and it just seems suspicious that her husband is involved with case after case of discrimination in the work place.

All of the censorship over at Reddit isn't helping either.

The justice system worked. There may be cases of discrimination in the workplace, but this isn't one of them.

I'm unclear why the VC company that employed her is somehow at fault here and why the Nytimes spun this into a lesson we need to learn about a "boys club". Shouldn't we be learning a lesson about ethics and frivolous lawsuits? It only hurts the chances of women that are facing true discrimination in the work place.

I feel like the person that wrote the article is butt hurt because they didn't agree with the decision.
Here is a great little video series that goes through implementing Redo in Haskell:

It’s a shame the technology and usages are still moving quickly enough that there’s no obvious standardization that’ll last the next five years.

Social technologies would benefit from some regulation along the lines of “you must be able to use other apps to send to/receive from your app” for at least a minimal feature set, but it would be super hard to nail down what that regulation should exactly be.
> Fox (however detestable you may find it) was created as an alternative to the corporate media hegemony on thought

No, it wasn't. First, because it's part of the corporate media created by what was already a media megacorp, so at best it might participate in the corporate media hegemony on thought, not provide an alternative.

There was a recent exhibition of train and tube photos from London, and it was amazing to see how smart dress from the mid century gave way to fashions of the time like mods, teddy boys, punks, skin heads, new wave romantics, goths,hipsters, and finally back to a more stylish approach. No one looked happy though. Public transport is a great leveller - we all feel equally trapped and unhappy upon it!
For the "not-a-failure" modes, are you referring to things like flipped bits? I had that happen on a USB3 high-speed thumb drive, where several of my source code files had random capitalization throughout the file (bit 6 was flipped on) and other weird corruption that indicated specific bits got either flipped on or off. But the drive was at 98% full when this happened too.
>MS could find the middle ground between lush 3D VR-like environments and the real world.

Back around 2000 a Slashdot article reported an attempt to create a human-sized hamster ball constructed of a semi-opaque projection-friendly surface. The ball would sit on some sort of roller mount. Five projection screens surrounding the ball would project a virtual environment over the "port", "starboard", "fore", "aft", and "north" surfaces. A human occupant would enter the ball, and, based on his movement detected through the roller base, be presented with a continually updating holodeck-like virtual environment.

Perhaps something like this is still in development somewhere.
If you really bomb the entire interview series because you were asked the fizzbuzz question, it sounds like you wouldn't work well anyway. Sometimes you encounter simple problems. If you can't handle being asked to do a task because it's "beneath you", you are probably a terrible hire anyway.
It does, however, buy swag.

I still have old Magic 2013 iOS app in my OG iPad and it's one of the most fun things I can do in my spare time. I've probably spent more hours than I should playing this game over the course of the last ~20 years but I still can't get enough of it...

Ah, but a document that supports including itself, that's the bomb!
I think the current argument is that the fastest, easiest, simplest way to help employees, is to make sure they don't get fired. And the easiest way to do that is to make sure the businesses don't feel the need to fire them (to either cover those fixed obligations, or to plain shut down). Give the businesses 8% more cash (by removing payroll tax), you might allow the business to survive a month-long slump, and not fire anyone.

This would seem a good strategy if the issue was simply a month of lost productivity, with an otherwise healthy business. And where the game theory would lend itself towards the business owners knowing this, and so choosing to not fire anyone. And where the 'lost efficiency' of shuffling around ownership would be significantly greater than the short term loss. If those are not true, and the business then fires its employees anyway, it really was just a gift to the business owners, and would be a failure.
The question should be what business isn’t Amazon in!
Mostly it is a gimic, but my kids did have a class where the teacher asked them to raise their hands before speaking for which you need video. (there is a raise hand option in the call, but to explain how to use that to kids or teachers...)
Yes, I didn't want to imply that not suing in other cases would change the legal options. And while I'm not deeply familiar with the topic, I just remember that determining damages depends in part on the price you charge for licences. So I think when you don't licence but tolerate unlicensed distribution, it becomes harder to argue for damages.

Though as another commenter has pointed out, in the U.S. at least there are statutory damages.
I had a similar experience a few years ago with an "n series" Dell, and the solution was to only use the install disk that came with the machine, and not try to do a full OS install.
That's great. In my research of what makes a good newsletter, it wholly seems to be a combination of aggregation and curation. Not just collecting links to interesting things, but highlighting what makes them interesting to you, the curator. (From there, it seems that you develop an audience of people that like your point of view).
Since posting the excerpt, I have learned you can find the entire book here: http://www.msri.org/people/staff/levy/files/MCL/Zvonkin.pdf
Gigabots seems really interesting. I find the EV3 programming environment really confusing and would love to see it improved in some way. I don't see a lot of info on Gigabots since summer, is it alive?
I think you have it backwards: OOP in Simula was more bizarre since all objects basically ran as co-routines. It isn't until Smalltalk where we get the non-autonomous objects that we are familiar with today.
In other news, the suit is back!

> When people cannot steal things they want - they do buy them. Not everyone, but there seem to be enough such people

Or may be those people don't want to buy them, but if they get it for free from pirates, they infringe. And if they don't get it, they ignore it. So far I didn't see any studies which showed that DRM increases sales. But I saw studies to the opposite however.

> Yet they sell a small fraction on PC even compared to a single platform.

Because gaming platforms were unnaturally shifted to consoles by MS and the like? They tried to kill PC gaming market on purpose (consoles give them more monopolistic control). So disproportional amount of console gamers is not surprising. I suspect it has much bigger impact on sales numbers than any DRM can have in either direction.
It's very easy to keep the data intact, if you know when, exactly, you want access to it again: as in the book referenced in the article, The Forever War, just put the data on an object in space, relativistically accelerate it, and set it for a return course in X years. From the object's frame of reference, much less time (and degradation) will pass.

Or, even simpler: find a reflective surface X/2 lightyears away, and shoot coherent light at it with sufficient power.

The real problem is preserving the information, which degrades even faster than the data. Even communicating a very simple message[1] across more than a 1000-year gap turns out to be nearly impossible, as it will be intentionally misinterpreted in the direction of whatever will make the finders happy.

I honestly, honestly wonder how such deceitful, thieving people live with themselves.

I think you're being a bit harsh here. One of the best ways to improve productivity in aggregate (and in return, get more tax dollars) is to improve[1] citizen's education.

I understand that there are potential pitfalls with what he's suggesting but to describe him as "deceitful and thieving" for suggesting something he thinks will help America is beyond the pale.

[1] Things like engineering and science, not gender studies or literature. Regardless of the merits of the latter two they don't really contribute to productivity.
When people are afraid or unable to make changes, you get few breaking changes at all.

The turbines have superheated steam flowing into them directly from a source of practically unlimited heat. The only way for them to freeze over would be for the plant to have already shut down.
How much is 1MM? I'm unfamiliar with that suffix.
"the majority of the able-bodied working-age population and school kids are not protected yet" - you don't believe in immune systems? I've never touch touched a mask, in London, I've been fine. If there's a pandemic then I must have had at least one variant by now.
Keycloak. Everything inside approach.
Being offered $400K a year is a whole lot different than actually getting $400K a year.
Maybe. The fact that a treatment of particle physics based on Symmetry groups works so well is rather odd, but equally why should it be that way? Elegance is subjective, mathematical elegance even more so.
I want to hecking scream.

The point of the original website in this chain was not that you couldn't do media queries, or that all of your designs had to be unstyled. It was a gosh-darned satire that showed that even if you did literally nothing, your website would still be responsive and readable and load fast. The fact that it did nothing, that it was just a completely unstyled HTML page was the reason that the joke worked.

The point was to showcase that often when "native" web features break, those problems can be traced back to things we added to the page, things that are nice, but are not strictly required to view content online. It was not saying that we should get rid of CSS, it was saying that the web, by default, without any technical knowledge or design chops or engineering input, still works to deliver content.

So naturally, the first thing the web community does is set up a build chain, add some CSS, mess with the contrast a bit, and start some kind of childish competition about who can make the best minimalist stylesheet and get the best HTTP compression set up on whatever pointless server setup they have and to start arguing about what license they're using.

You are missing the point!

The point was never to say that you couldn't add media queries to your website. The web community looked at a brilliant satirical piece and instead of sitting down and thinking about it for even just 5 minutes they immediately proved it right by showing that there was literally no context anywhere, even in a joke page, where they wouldn't be overcome with the irresistible urge to fiddle with things.
Whenever I post something in anger it gets downvoted, so that may be the issue?
People choose to believe (and to not believe) in all sorts of wacky stuff[1].

UFOs, Illuminati conspiracies, Rumpology...

But when it come to not believing in scientific theories that are obviously standing the hard tests of the scientific method and that are making correct, testable predictions, well, it does become somewhat frightening at that point.

Perhaps it's just social norming at work, and people find it easier to say whatever they need to continue to fit into their social cliques. TBH, I hope this is mostly the case, because at least then there is some method to the madness.

Also, it's hard to not throw Hayek's Scientism[2] into the mix again here...for too long, perhaps, Researchers have attempted to apply scientific principles to area's of study that simply are not suited for such attempts, thus creating a generation of layperson's who are having much easier time dismissing anything that does not fit comfortably into their intuition due to often-flawed research.

In any case, I am finding this same disheartening truth when I talk to people about some of the few solid findings that neuroscience has made about our decision-making processes, so I believe I have some direct, albeit minor, understanding of the issue.

> Let the browser maintain a DOM tree that templates over a JSON object, then reactive-ly update and it's an amazing experience

Totally agreed. I even pulled off an Elixir library as a POC to show this concept, here's an example project: https://github.com/surferseo/live_data/tree/master/examples/... (most relevant part of API is here: https://github.com/surferseo/live_data/blob/master/examples/... and here: https://github.com/surferseo/live_data/blob/master/examples/...)
Did you mean a trackpoint? How can you type and move the mouse without moving your hands with a trackpad?
There are L2s that solve this, in exchange for slower inclusion into the main chain. Or you can just trade wrapped BTC on another network. In that case, the Bitcoin main chain functions like a gold depository institution in traditional finance.
As someone who runs a discussion e-list server for a small volunteer org, Gmail has not been an issue with a good config, generally. The other big providers are annoying, to varying degrees, often silently dropping email. ISP email tends to be a pain in the neck, putting one on a blacklist if you exchange email with two different addresses they provide service to within one hour, though at least they tend to be noisy about it.
Any chance of one that doesn't look like a Macbook clone?

I, personally, am tired of the brushed aluminum with black bezels and keyboard look. The materials can remain the same, but some colored options would be wonderful - like the HP Spectre x360's with blue and black options, etc.

Everything else looks wonderful, particularly the mobo upgrades for newer CPU/GPU combinations... and even better - getting to choose the ports I need! Love that!
technically possible as all 4 ports support usb-c PD, but the modules are not big enough to support any reasonable capacity. It is a path to connect something like a slice battery that you could attach to the bottom however!
> Analytics is about the entire product experience

i feel like there is a underapreciated difference in wether you are selling a physical product/service or a digital one.

both benefit from focus on the product, but anlytics on the website is vastly more helpful if your product essentially _IS_ the web-ux.
Just saying, if you used Whonix, none of those bugs fixed in an "emergency" would have hurt you.

Whonix uses two virtual machines, one to run tor and the other only connects to the first, so you could (in theory) literally run anything as root on the Workstation one and it couldn't get your IP address. Even Adobe Flash, or javascript, or a browser with zero days. The only thing that could get you is a zero day in virtualbox itself, and even that would still need a privilege escalation first. For more details see https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Comparison_with_Others#Attacks

(I may be slightly overselling it, but it is definitely more secure than tails. Only very advanced extremists use it.)

Time zones and leap seconds are fundamentally different kinds of adjustments. Time zones are intrinsically a synthetic concept: they're (basically) just different views on the same canonical (UTC) time, based on arbitrary, regional, human-level notions. A leap second is an adjustment to the canonical time itself. In a pedantic sense, that's a synthetic concept too, but it's intended to model a real physical process: the earth's rotation. In the case of a leap second, that process has actually changed, and the time in all time zones is affected.

Another problem is that we don't know what leap seconds will be added until six months ahead of time. With the current system, if you calculate something for a time that's a year away, it will still be correct if a leap second is added. If you attempt to deal with leap seconds via time zones, then a timestamp calculated before the addition of a leap second will become incorrect when the leap second is added. It's easy to imagine this causing issues just as serious as the ones we have today. Both approaches are error prone in various cases, but at least today it's possible to write correct code that won't be broken by the addition of a leap second.
We're tuning the connection limits during beta, but it's not something we typically scale. We set that as high as we can without hurting stability, and then let people shoot themselves in the foot if they want. :)

If you use it and run into connection limit issues, let us know and we'll gladly up them for you.
I've read about the california state bar and how difficult and brutal it is to pass. It's a three day exam, and I'm sure it's tough.

But I like to remind people of what I experienced last time I interviewed. It was for three different jobs, and interviews took about four and a half days. Topics covered were:

Add a node to binary tree

Print it recessively

Print it iteratively

Prove that the dual of the primal is the primal of the dual, using matrix notation.

Find the long term state probabilities in a Markov chain.

Write various sql statements (showing that you know outer joins, among other things)

Denormalize a set of sql tables

Swap two integers without creating a third variable

Print all permutations of a string

Formulate a linear program, then demonstrate that it can be done with a greedy algorithm that doesn't require an optimization formulation

Write a good hashing function

Answer questions about what actual data structures back the different container classes in Java

Sort a bunch of things

Show how to find the most common character in an n-length string with a minimum number of storage variables (i.e., no using a hash and picking it at the end, you have to keep a counter that swaps around)

Design a database for a restaurant reservation system…

That wasn't even all they asked. That's just what I remember. It was days of exhausting, 8-hour interviews. As programmers, we go through this over and over. I didn't get an offer, probably because I hadn't really done markov chains or data structures in a while and seemed fuzzy on my answers. I usually study a lot prior to an interview, but I was very busy around that time with programming work.

Yeah, one reason I don't interview much anymore is that I feel I've loaded those topics into my short-term exam ready memory for the last time.
