I tend to use EpicSearch.in as much as possible (generally in the Epic Privacy Browser), then click to Bing/Google if the results aren't good. EpicSearch's results are so-so (built on Yandex), but it's TOTALLY private and has no ads so it's my first go-to option. Maybe 25% of the time I'll click onto Bing or Google.

My gut feeling is that one can minimally maintain systems in "forgotten" languages indefinitely if they're basically stable and feature complete. But it seems that people come unstuck for systems that still need to evolve -- even if that evolution is slow and/or sporadic. The obvious alternative is to rewrite systems in new languages, but that is generally prohibitively expensive. Even for those that can afford the expense, the new system tends to not to take considerable time to bed in, so flipping the switch from the old to the new is only for the brave or those with excellent PR departments.

Although we didn't have this in mind when we started on this work, I've come to think that language composition might offer a way out of this mess (I immodestly offer [1] as an early example). If one composes an old and a new language, one can migrate a system from an old to a new language bit-by-bit. As well as amortising the translation cost, it also means that one can minimise the "switch flipping" problem: disasters seem much less likely if the composed system can be introduced gradually.

If I had to have exactly same routine every evening, I would personally hated it and go crazy. Occasional difficulty to wake up is low price for not having to structure all family life and my life around 7:15 sleeping time. I really like to be able to stay on playground longer when whether is right or be with my adult friends a bit longer or, well, anything like that.

If the kid would be autistic I would do it, but otherwise nope.

Fortunately renewables are now becoming cheaper than either coal or nuclear. If we had our act together we could have reached the current point a decade ago.
> Are Canada's CO2 stats material to global warming, or are they being over-dramatized because this is a Canadian publication?

Canada has an extremely important role in the future of CO2 emissions, because it has some of the largest left resources of oil on the planet with its tar sands. And it's a particularly nasty one with an emission footprint far higher than "conventional" oil.

Whether or not Canada will leave a substantial part of that untapped is quite significant.

This article is dreadful. Here's an alternative view:

Talented software engineers are sick of 80-hour-week grinds as underpaid salary employees in an industry where nine out of ten products fail. By working contract/hourly, they get actual money in liu of their name in a credits list that nobody reads - even in the unlikely event their product ships.

We are healthier than ever, living longer than ever. More of our babies are surviving for longer, even in the poorest places on Earth.

We are using more renewable energy, less coal. Every year we add more solar/wind capacity than the past decade (just a guess). Soon, driverless electric cars will transport people autonomously, without creating any pollution, and road accidents will dwindle down to ~0.

More people have access to clean water, modern medicine, and we have treatments/preventions for the deadliest of diseases.

I mean, what's not to love?

From Rule 25:

"When there is an Oversold UA flight that originates in the U.S.A. or Canada"

This flight was not oversold. The passengers had been gate-checked and embarked[0], ready for departure. There was no shortage of revenue seats.

However the airline realised that it needed to position a crew to another destination and to save a few dollars opted to remove four fare-paying passengers from the flight to make space for their non-rev crew.

Regardless of that, it does show that when one party ( United ) subcontracts to another ( Republic Airways ) in order to save money, the blowback of adverse PR is onto the main brand and rightly so.

[0] technically they weren't yet "boarded" because the doors were open, which interestingly also means that the aircraft wasn't "in flight" and therefore the airline can't appeal to concerns of flight safety.
I am not naive about what the US has done and still does. But reading a "list" is not nearly enough. Studying the US support to anti-Soviet forces will tell you much about how funding various insurgent groups goes, if the fact that US-trained forces have a disturbing tendency to sell their hardware to the highest bidder and have as yet to demonstrate any degree of success was not enough of a hint.
Hi, I don't see anything in your list about carbon sequestration. Can you point me to any companies investing in advanced robotics to assist in silicate mineral crushing & spreading, as it's the only sensible, achievable sequestration technique? Thanks.

Same with tempestn, 0 isn’t the natural Y-intercept. Just like temperature graphs don’t start at -273°C, nor do barometric pressure graphs start at 0.

I don’t know what the “right” baseline is, but 0 isn’t it.

Strange if that's the norm now too, some of the best games of the 90's seemed to all come out of dedicated teams who just loved their craft. In fact most of my favorite games I could probably point to a development team that worked well together and cared about their projects and stuck together after a release. Its too bad, I like Rocket League's simple premise and execution (it basically builds off of some mods I used to play in Unreal Tournament 2004). If they brought some of the dedicated contractors on full time for their next project and fostered a great culture I'm sure it would help much more than the short-term gains they'll get by their current practice.

The unionization efforts in Seattle are demonstrative.

They are very clearly gearing up to push forward policies that benefit full-time drivers at the expense of part-time drivers. Proposed rules exclude new drivers from voting and exclude drivers from voting if they haven't completed enough trips in any three month period in the last 12 months. Rules like these will only advantage the full-time drivers at the expense of part-time drivers.

> Companies never think of the old guys as the ones to implement the new system - that's a job for the "enterprise experts"

So true, even for more recent stuff. It's so absurd I always wanted to make a web comic about this. Companies keep ignoring advice of their own developers, and then eventually hire some "technology expert" who is going to implement the same tech their existing staff recommend years ago. Except, of course, the expert has no idea about business processes and user needs, so you end up with a long and expensive train-wreck that results in something barely better than what you had before.
I often wonder what we'll die of. Direct consequence of global warming like flooding, tornado, or heat wave? A worldwide epidemic? Will wealth be relevant in saving us from mass famines? A more indirect way such as massive riots caused by, say, the global disorganization of wealth? A global methane event, bursting out of the oceans, and burning the whole atmosphere? Or simply Trump deciding that global warming can only be dodged by erasing half of human activities, killing 4bn people with some atomic bomb, "for the survival of the rest"?

I also wonder what will remain of our cities. Will scavenger humans haunt them for the next thousand years? How fast will they decay?
Even the high end of predictions aren't expecting an increase in intense weather events bigger than what you might get if you were a bit unlucky over the next century.
The worst thing about video game culture is that idea that only some kind of games count. It is not enough to say "I don't like it", the games one does not find enjoyable are abominations and wrong for just existing.

With the recent news covering Google Search's often insane "sugested answers" ("Obama is the current king of America, and is planning a military coup"), fake news SEO trickery, and the general bad feeling about how they rank their results for the last year or so, I've had the thought that Bing/DDG might become competitive again, not because they improve, but because Google slowly got worse. Google is basically the MS Windows of search, due to their dominant position they're constantly targetted, so you're more likely to get the info/search equivalent of a virus.

Hardly comforting.

No. If the machine is telling me what medicine to administer to the patient, then I want to know exactly what data points the machine thought were relevant (i.e., the relevant symptoms). Furthermore, I want to know what about those symptoms indicated to the machine a particular diagnosis.
Code transformation for a great good
Be very careful of the word "home ownership". It means different things to different people.

Much like the weasel-word "affordability" (which means better access to credit, and not cheaper prices) "home ownership" means "mortgaged, bank-owned properties". Both terms mean debt slavery and a preservation of the status quo (ie: property owners stay rich. buyers, mortgagers and prospective buyers remain poor).

What is needed is cheaper housing.

Not "affordability" or easier-to-access debt.

The way to get cheaper housing is to destroy housing as an investment class. And the way you do that is by taxing 2nd and 3rd properties at increasingly higher rates.

I think it's flexibility and less fixed infrastructure. You don't have to build a conveyor belt system to cover a rectangular area. You just need holes and navigation grid for the robot swarm, and charging docks -- essentially trading hardware complexity for software complexity.
The helium-gas rate gyroscope [1] is very strange. Honda's history says that it was built because it had only eight parts. It's a helium jet aimed at a pair of hot-wire anemometers. It wasn't a very good rate gyro, but it was cheap.

Etak had a rate gyro with a motor spinning a flexible metal disk, with the flexing sensed capacitively. I still have one of those somewhere. That was simple and cheap too, but still not very good. All these things had far more drift than even low end modern IC gyros.

> This is just not true.

Yes, it is.

> . Go visit a vineyard, distillery, or a brewery. People may be trying to improve the quality of the product, but they are not relentlessly trying to increase "user drinking minutes" or any metric like that.

Yes, that's exactly what the marketing arms of the firms involved, and the advertising agencies they employ, are trying to do. (There's some actual product-development involvement there, too; light and ultra-light beers were invented pretty much exactly to maximize user drinking minutes.)
Speaking as a solopreneur, I work only 3 hours a day, more like 3 x 50 minutes laps with 15 min breaks in between.

Also each lap is dedicated to one activity, first is manufacturing where I work on my project (the actual coding part), second is traffic (this is the dreaded marketing/outreach part) and finally is the optimization part (seo, increasing conversion rates, improving design, etc).

I've seen that the diversity of this work prevents you from getting bored and also is very good for your sites because if you keep working on just coding your sites seldom make any money.

The 3 hours limit is because after that i can happily watch tv, spend time with my family or just work on my other hobbies besides computers guilt free.

P.s. When you try to do as much work as you can, i believe you still only get 3 hours of work done - yet you feel guilty of not doing enough which causes unhappiness.

I bet it was the same with the spears.
I suspect this could happen due to market forces as well. Now students in other states simply need to move to NY to establish residency in order to qualify. Most likely they would move to the area near their college campus of choice, driving up rents there.

iNaturalist Competition: Fine-Grained Visual Categorization
The industry is in a weird space these days. If you build for mobile the best bets are either focusing on a small handful of free-to-play micro transaction games or focusing on many bite-sized, $1.99 or ad-supported games. Those who build for consoles and are backed by a publisher go for big next-gen spectacle that takes teams of hundreds to develop, so when its time for the next project they are pushed to work on a few sequels that reuse assets and their engine over trying something new and different (which is ironically what probably gave them success in the first place). Franchises have been a thing for a long time, but the scope of them is now huge, to the point where some release something new every year to stay relevant. If you want to build something original its best to stick with a medium-sized team backed through Kickstarter, which has its own set of problems in terms of constantly needing to keep up with PR and paying out all of the promised rewards. I've always been interested in joining the industry because I love the medium for its potential, but I think I'll stick to hobby projects for the foreseeable future considering all of those options.
This is a false dichotomy, we have more options on the table than coal or nuclear.

It sounds like you're only allocated to one project at a time, correct?

In many big corps it's common to be on four or five projects at any one time. Finishing one discrete piece of work is only a signal for the next project manager to appear at my desk and demand that I get working on his piece of work.

And I can see his perspective, he doesn't particularly care if i was super-productive that day on Project-A when he's managing Project-B and there are still hours left in the working day.
I've converted such programs from one language to another. It is not necessary to understand how the program works, only how the language works.

What you do is function by function, convert the language by duplicating what it does in the new language. Resist any and all urges to fix it, refactor it, improve it, etc. Just translate.
