> We do have clear separation of powers in Spain

We do have a formal one. In practice that is not so clear, as the many corruption cases show, with political use of the police included.

Also they not only have declared the referendum illegal, but are persecuting everyone promoting the referendum, so much for freedom of speech. But anyways, now you get into a criminal trial for making jokes about terrorist actions from 40 years ago against Franco ministers.

I am Andalusian and I'd be happy to keep Catalonian withing the Spanish state, under a federalist republic where we can move forward together. But in the current state of affairs I very much understand the independentist movement. Having a referendum is the only solution long-term and the Spanish goverment just uses legalist excuses to stop it. What they don't say is that precisely they can change the law to allow it!
Reinventing escaping over and over again (which bash scripts in particular seem to encourage) is a suckers game. It's difficult to get right and if you're constantly redoing it you're eventually going to make a mistake. I've worked in web security and it's sad to see how likely it is for people with good intentions to mess this up. I'm glad the author basically came to this conclusion.

The winning strategy is to use a library/framework/whatever for embedding user-provided content into HTML. Sane HTML template libraries will do this. That library has had more time to get it right. Furthermore a well designed API will clearly indicate what is trusted vs. untrusted data and all untrusted data is properly encoded before being embedded. See the "Security Model" section of golangs HTML templates below.

An alternative to using the git tools which is appropriate for serious work (shell pipelines are great for prototyping) is libgit2. It has bindings for many languages. It's very easy to use (sometimes (not always) easier than the CLI) and often much higher performance vs. big shell pipelines (operating on text gets slow pretty fast, and often you end up using xargs...)

An example set of tools: https://golang.org/pkg/html/template/ + https://github.com/libgit2/git2go .

It's not as succinct as a bash script but it's easier to build something that's correct. Use the shell to prototype, build it right in a saner environment.
Building the Magical Data Science Box
One thing that surprises me a lot is how the Catalonian secessionist movement seems to have a lot of international sympathy. Maybe because it's spinned like some kind of underdog story.

The reality, however, it's different:

- Catalonia is a rich, privileged region of Spain, which has benefited enormously of a huge investment in infraestructure and industry in the last decades.

- The indepentist movement was fueled around outright xenophobia, accusing the central government of "stealing" Catalonians, attacking poorer regions of Spain (which are full of lazy, untrustworthy people).

- In the last years, the Catalonian government has shaped their citizen perception of history, promoting nonsense like "Catalonia is a colony of Spain". An easy to disprove, but widely repeated argument.

- The Catalonian government even forbade the use of Spanish to their civil servants. Which was fined by the EU.

For a long time, state politic parties and catalonian parties, profited from this absurd "us against them" scenario. Now it's really out of hand, and the central government has a lot of blame in this.

But I really failed to see why someone should have any sympathy for Catalonian independentism. It's certainly not based on any historical reality, their political and economic consequences are unpredictable (but I doubt that benefitial for anyone other than catalonian politicians) and it's illegal under any possible frame.

I guess you could justify it if you believe in this abstract right to self-determination. I personally would have held a referendum long ago. I still think it's both stupid and immoral (it's usually the rich regions that want independence, with similar arguments).

The same way you choose to divorce with somebody. You don’t let your partner choose whether he lets you break up with him/her or not.

I have long been of the opinion that consciousness is not a 'thing' or 'state' so much as property. I think Douglas Hofstadtler gets closest to my thinking on the matter in his book 'I Am A Strange Loop'. Just as a single molecule cannot have a temperature, since temperature is a property of multitudes of molecules, any degree of looking at the components will not elucidate their overall interactions and at the end you will simply have to admit 'this is what we call it when that happens' rather than identifying a binary test that can be weighed with complete objectivity.

I also think a great deal of the things the scientific explanations omit are things which are expressely stated as the things science does not pursue. I mean that science is inherently dedicated to finding the things which are true regardless of the personal experience of the observer and which would be true without a human observer. So when you want to look at the human observer itself, and at something which is intimately and inextricably linked to the exact biological and historical state of a human animal... you've just left the field. Not that it makes the study any 'less', you just need different tools and there are different pitfalls. We still have all the same cognitive flaws due to our own brain structure, so we do have to try to be rigorous about it.
Ah, yes, I completely agree with you. I haven't been living in Spain for some time now, and every time I go back I'm horrified by the tension between Catalonia and the rest of Spain. It's like a mild Civil War all over again.

The worst is the unspoken tension that this has created between me and my Spanish friends.

> Well for a start half those dead currencies were replaced with new currencies issued by a different authority and their holders compensated, often at parity.

Indeed, I see on that list the several Brazilian Cruzeiro/Cruzado currencies. The only difference between each of these and their predecessor is that three zeros were cut: if you had 1000 of the old currency, you had 1 of the new currency. The last of these was replaced by the current currency (Real) at a slightly different rate (2750 instead of 1000). That is, it was more like a renaming than the currency actually dying and being replaced. And there was no different authority in these cases, they were all issued by the same central bank.
> Remember also that Catalonia has never been a nation.

It is true that Catalonia has never been a country, contrary to the rhetoric of the Catalan nationalists.

On the other hand, should it matter? If it did then new countries could never be formed.
This is true, although if you do want to fix that particular issue then unticking overflow:none against body usually does the trick :) But yes, reader mode is simpler.

Spain is divided by autonomias (comunidades autonomas). You can vote wherever you're registered to vote, nowhere else. I can't vote on issues in Extremadura or Valencia because I'm not registered in there.

I understand this affects Spain as a whole, so after the vote there should be a proper discussion rather than direct secession action (IF that were the result). But this question is regional, the rest of Spain doesn't decide if they want to live in an independent Catalonia state, because they don't live in there.
Guess what part of Spain voted massively yes to the current constitution.

I really, really want to like DuckDuckGo. But every single time I’ve switched from Google, I’ve found them to be much worse at returning the best results for what I’m looking for.

For example, let’s say I want to look up “ear infection”. Google will spit out a bunch of info right on their results page, often saving me the trouble of even going to another site. DDG however will just give me 10 webmd links.

If they want to compete, the privacy angle isn’t enough. They need comparable functionality as well.
Whether it was ‘ilegal’ or ‘fake’ there is a clear desire for catalan people to vote so that’s enough to allow the referendum. Ignoring people desires saying that the constitution denies it is not a valid reason for many.

I'd say bangs are the whole product. When you fail to use bangs, it presents, as a plus, medium decent results. (Good for stuff like error messages on stack overflow and forums, not so good for vaguer queries).
This point is so chronically under-appreciated. And it doesn't even have to be "no exchange" -- it can be "high friction at the exchange" or "overwhelming tax burden to covert to fiat."

There are things that can help.

Be both physically and mentally active during the day (mentally can also mean concentration. hours of driving is mentally draining)

Take a warm bath - cooling down will make you sleepy (but only in that 10 min window)

reduce bright lights, and blue lights (light containing blue, sky-toned blues, like strip lights or mobile phones) in favor of mellow-red tones. Blue cones make you more alert, reds make you sleepier. reduce bright lights overall as you approach bed-time.

Keep an eye on you foods, not just caffeine. sugar, slow and fast, and it's effect on blood-sugar [1]. eating can help wake you up when you get sluggish, but digesting can also* make you sluggish..

be comfy - quiet room at right temperature etc. Make your place of sleep a dedicated sleeping place, to strengthen association - do not work in or near the bed or in the bedroom, or browse or use you phone..

Of course, many of these do not help you take midday micro-naps. I the only thing I can think of is something I haven't really tried with success:

Clear your busy mind, via meditation..

Of course, it is supposed that doing this can relieve stress even if you don't actually sleep. I'm not really sure how micro-naps work. breaking your average sleep cycle (90 mins long) will make you feel terrible, so I assume a nap isn't a proper sleep cycle? Perhaps an after-work (~7pm) nap at home, to help after-work grogginess would be easier and more convenient?

[1] It'd be nice if I could easily monitor my blood sugar, adrenaline, concentration etc, in order to see the impact of coffee, sugar etc on myself..
Yes, generally posts with more comments than upvotes above a certain threshold (~40 iirc) get pushed down 50+ positions. They tend to be more argument than discussion.
The author went out of his way to say that the scale of the metaphor was wrong. I don't find it that pedantic for someone to point out that the opposite is true, especially when it makes a huge difference to the reader understanding the scale of DuckDuckGo's accomplishments.

Seems the problem may be a lack of competition.
If that were true, it should be easy to point to some simulated video and say "Look! This one looks identical to nature. It's so perfect it looks like you were really there, filming it with your own camera."

But no one has ever made a video like that, so we can only show videos of trivial scenes (like a room composed solely of cubes with only one or two lights). There'd be no contest with any real-world comparison -- say, a messy desk with a laptop on it, with the sun shining through a window. The moment you give the viewer enough visual cues, they'll pick out the simulated video nearly 100% of the time, let alone getting anywhere close to fooling them half the time.

More precisely, if you show a playlist containing a mix of simulated videos and real-life footage, viewers shouldn't be able to select the simulated footage any better than random chance. That's the proof no one has ever done this.
The numbers show that 80% of the girls only date the top 20% of the guys. They rate 80% of the guys below average. So an average boy find hard to find a date there. Think this way, before you could have a few opportunities to get a date in a bar, now you have thousands of them before even getting out of the toilet. You think your value is higher than it really is and decide to wait for something that has he same value of you. As this is not possible you end up waiting more for sex. In small towns pre-internet there were more relationships than in cities as they know the pool of candidates is small and fixed. If they waited for the perfect one they would have wait forever.

Same here. Tried a while back and didn't really take. I found myself Googling most things after DDG'ing them. Tried again recently because I love the mission, and it's working much better. Usually what I want is in the top few results, although Google still does a bit better with search result quality. I see myself using it as my main search engine at this point.
Here in Scandinavia kids are definitely a lot more sheltered today than 30 years ago. We used to roam the streets in our free time when I was a kid, being out all day (without even mobile phones). I don't know of any parents today that would allow this.

Drinking and smoking doesn't seem to have changed much though, only following the general trends of way less smoking and a little bit of stigma associated with alcohol. Actually weed might have become more common today than back then, cocaine definitely so, come to think of it.

As far as sex is concerned, things are a bit less 'liberal' these days for lack of a better word, again following the general societal trend. The free-wheeling spirit of the 70s and 80s died down gradually, with AIDS and probably other factors.

"The elephant in the room is that the main parties in the Spanish goverment are using this independence process as a smokescreen to hide all their wrongdoings."

That's some assumption, considering the main party promoting the secession had their party HQ confiscated for their corruption.

"Also there is a complete blockage to alter the constitution"

No, there isn't. There is a perfect legal form to do it.

"Catalonia is one of the most solidary regions (giving more to the state than we receive)."

No, it WAS. Now the rest of Spain is supporting Catalonia using the FLA ("Fondo de Liquidez Autonómica" or "Autonomous Liquidity Fund").

"I'm sick of it all."

More sick are the majority of Catalans who don't want the secession.

Secession is a crime?

You are confusing two meanings of the word. There is the meaning of breaking a country for whatever reasons. Like Sudan, or the USSR or Yugoslavia. There is another meaning: the crime of secession that tries to break a country by force and against its legitimate authorities, that often ends in a blood bath.

First meaning is not the same as the second.
That is a problem for medium-big projects.
It is worse the tension between Catalans.

In this case, employee count is very relevant.

It might tell us how realistic scaling to the size of Google is, for example. I don't think it does, but it's an interest thought: could DDG manage Google's search traffic with ~1,000 employees (scaling linearly)? Could it do the same with fewer than that?

When in doubt always remember about Oracle vs Google (Java/Android).
The reason sites like Google and YouTube are good is not because you can search the larger sites well, but because they can search the long tail of the web well. Any search engine can index the top 5-10k sites and build something workable for that. The money maker is returning lesser known sites because, despite not being popular, they contain the best answer for the search query. YouTube got popular not because it has the most popular videos on the web (all video sharing websites have the popular videos) but because it contained and stored an insane amount of videos with like 100 views and would return them if you searched for something oddly specific.

Note the distinction between:

1. consciousness as "awareness" or "experiencing existence"
2. consciousness as "mind" or what we experience that doesn't seem to correspond to the outside world.

The former is certainly not a result of language, and that is what is referred to as consciousness in Buddhist/Hindu philosophy. The latter is definitely influenced by language and seems to be what many modern scientists are referring to when they talk about consciousness. The conflation of the two definitions does a great disservice to understanding what consciousness "is".

> there are a lot of systems that people don't like because they never took the time to figure out how to use them. Cars aren't like phones. When you're in them, you're most likely driving and you don't have the bandwidth to figure out how to do something as well as drive.

Yes, it takes time to get used to the dash and this is why I dread car rentals.

So your ex preferred sex over social contact with you, as the poster above mentions the use of pornography over social contact; and between the lines, you prefer a free social life over the dominance of sex (apart from other issues your marriage might have had).

Sounds like a familiar source of contention...

Without wanting to generalise individual needs, I wonder if men and women are having trouble bridging their differences now there is less pressure of being a married couple. I imagine that's a large factor in young people trying to stay independent for longer.
