I just came up with the idea to make a bookmarklet, which converts the current DDG search into Google:

javascript:(function(){ var s = document.location.search.split("&")[0].substr(1); document.location = "https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&"+s; })();

It's not perfect, but it's a start :)

To be clear: while this button directs people away from DDG to Google, it actually allows people to use DDG as their first (main) search engine, and lets them switch to Google if necessary without much inconvenience. The better the DDG search results, the less views they lose to Google.

Your regulators (assuming you bank in the US) disagree with you. Banks have denied service to all manner of people doing relatively innocuous stuff. If the moral compass turns against gun purchasing and ownership sufficiently, there is a banking regulatory model in place to deny credit card processing to armament vendors.

What precisely bothers you? That he changed his politics or that he's lost his friends? I'm not sure these are that related. I moved when I married and though I see fewer friends now and have fewer locally, those I would have here are far closer to the political spectrum you don't seem to like, as it is the case for many city dwellers who move out to the burbs for more space and cheaper housing.
+1 - for anyone in the tech field (or even if you're not) that likes to meet some new people, join a few Meetup.com groups in your area and talk to random people inbetween the meetup sessions. 9/10 people will be a dud but I've ended up finding som really good friends via Meetup.
My assumption is that with 30 age really becomes visible. It was at this age, people- the same sort of people i would hang around with and goof with- started to refer to me as "Mr." - as if by having the first grey hair- you somehow become some authoritative figure to be afraid of.

Which is ridiculosis - but you cant change what people think when they see you for the first time.
I cannot recommend this highly enough. It's a real slice of history. If you're lucky they'll actually let you play the game - which is still a fun challenge.

When I went there a few years ago, the PDP-1 demos were actually done by the original guys who programmed Spacewar! I don't know if they're still doing that, but it's magical to be in the presence of these pioneers. This industry is young enough that many of the original masters are still alive and eager to share their stories and achievements.
So today I learned I’m sensitive to sounds like this. I’ve been hearing stuff like this my whole life when nobody else could. Sometimes I get high pitched noise too. I just thought it was me.

I never have quiet. Even in a hearing test with the headphones on I can hear a loud brown noise. My wife and mom say I have hearing damage but I don’t do terrible on hearing tests. I don’t do great either they just always act like it’s nothing so I don’t know what to think.
Good for you, but for some of us it will drive you nuts. The quieter it gets as you try to sleep, the louder the hum seems to get. And if you hear it more in one ear than the other, it feels like your head is warping from more pressure on one side than the other. Sure it's "all in your head", and just like with being a little too cold you could theoretically train yourself to ignore it. But that's easier said than done.
Hey, I'm currently in the bumming-around-Berkeley part of your journey!

One of the reasons I found the Community Memory chapter of Hackers so inspiring (apart from the Berkeley connection) was because it described a piece of technology that brought local people together by design. Today, we can go online and find out what people are saying in any part of the world on any conceivable topic. But barring a few notable exceptions like Nextdoor, there seems to be relatively little focus on technology that connects us with our neighbors and colleagues (except in a roundabout way).

When I was a student at Cal, our Livejournal group hosted a biannual event called AnonCon, where hundreds of people would gather in a single thread and anonymously moan about finals, gossip about campus life, and discuss who they were crushing on. At the co-op where I was living at the time, this was a Big Event: people would huddle in the living room under blankets and have a merry old time reading threads and adding their own thoughts to the pile. You'd run into AnonCon participants in the real world who you'd have never thought were clued in to this sort of thing. It felt like the campus was suddenly electrified through the comments section of this simple blog post! We weren't really online, but part a quirky campus community brought together by way of technology.

It makes me wonder if maybe these kinds of communities could be kickstarted with a modern take on Community Memory: a distributed database or forum combined with some sort of physical beacon that would facilitate peer-to-peer connections between local devices. There would be no pathway to the internet: if you wanted to know what was going on in your community, you'd have to go to a particular location (or find a friend) and grab the latest snapshot of the database directly. Perhaps someone might hide a beacon in their favorite café, seed it with some comp-sci talk, and then see who shows up to trade thoughts! Idealistic communities with unified aims and physical haunts could almost emerge out of the ether — in cafés, libraries, community centers and parks.

If globally-hosted communities incentivize people to spread out, perhaps peer-to-peer communities could incentivize people to grow closer together. And maybe, the kind of unity and camaraderie evident in those oddball Hackers communities would subsequently follow.
Oh, reading it again, I agree with you. I had read your comment as if you were translating the original comment, but it's actually replacing the original terms to make the phrase more accurate.
The other argument is that it forces people to save money (to pay back mortgage). All buy vs. rent comparison assume you save and invest some money, which requires financial discipline.

(It's an argument I discovered recently, does not apply to everyone but I think it makes some sense)
Google Pay – Say hello to a better way to pay, by Google
The article does make the unstated assumption that you're able to 1) rent for cheaper than the cost of a mortgage + extras, and more importantly 2) invest the difference. If your individual circumstances don't allow that and you're able to afford the necessary downpayment, the calculation is pretty easy to make, yes.
In the last 15 years yeah. Before that probably somewhat more mixed area, but possibly so on movie choices. I don't go to many 'summer blockbuster' sort of movies any more.
Because love takes time, and money is time in this society. Takes a lot of money to have friends, and most men are actually to poor to afford friends. That's included in the price society pays for loving wealth first. You cannot serve two masters. You can of course fake it, drinking buddies ect... it's like most things in a money first group, the real thing is continually cheapened until everyone looses interest and then we blame them for having too high of standards.
Agree. Maybe the article could link to the first two chapters posted on gutenberg instead? (My impression is that gutenberg is fairly scrupulous on copyright matters): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/729
According to the article, the solution I suggest has been proposed in the Go community, and I don't know of any language where it has actually been adopted, so Go might be the first. I just know that Java has been forced to work around its absence.

As for the tasks that need to be solved here, the primary one I see is reconciling the needs of different libraries. What do you do when you depend on library A and library B and they need two incompatible versions of library C? As I see it, there's no clean way to answer that question if A and B expect the two incompatible versions to be present with the same name.
Here's another question: should 0 be considered prime? The zero ideal is a prime ideal, but 0 is certainly a different sort of number than the rest of the primes.

It's been routinely reported on in the newspaper, I can't be bothered to post any proof as no enforcement = anecdotal evidence only = checkmate, racist.

If you'd like to pretend that is controversial, you're welcome to it, it is an utter waste of time to try to convince people, but there are still some people in the world who like to know what's actually going on instead of believing what they're told to believe.
What I find interesting is that I actually don't mind the single letters at all. As others have said, a name is a name and I don't find either "substitution" or "ap" any more enlightening than "S". I also find that the currying of the parameters in the JS code is hard to read. As soon as I see the type signatures in the next chart, though, it becomes obvious what it's doing.
> I can't give you a point by pint list if instructions on how to fix it for SF.

I'm sure that was a typo, but a "point by pint" list (or discussion, either one) sounds pretty fun...
I don't care much for real estate investing. You pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance on it. You only have a vague notion of what it is worth, and that all depends on just happening on the right buyer at the right time. It can take a month to a year to sell. You pay 6% commission on selling it.

With stocks, you know second by second what it is worth. There are no taxes, maintenance, insurance, or liabilities that come with it. You can buy/sell it at any moment. With a discount broker, the sales commissions are minimal.
Can you provide any links or books that'd provide guidance on speaking "their language"? Seems like a wonderful opportunity to educate. I'd love to learn more as someone that tried to raise money, albeit from a smaller sample (~50 engagements), and failed miserably.
> Are you male? I don't want to assume. But as a woman this is something that really concerns me about the guys I and my friends date. I see my father doing the same thing. Once they get into a stable relationship they seem to think that there's no need for a social life beyond their girlfriend, coworkers, and maybe one or two very close old friends... but those old friends tend to drift away.

Sounds like me!

I don't want more than a couple of good friends. Anything more than that isn't friends, it's acquaintances with delusions of grandeur. That ends up leaving most of the pushing for socialization on my wife's plate, because ... I don't.

That said, I find that women maintaining the social relationships is a bit more stereotype than truth. I know more than a few women that are also pretty shit at it, and they're doubly embarrassed because they don't feel like they're fulfilling their gender role.
And just by doubling the amount of selectors you could always check for a repeated character! (AKA [value$=aa], [value$=bb], etc...)
PyTorch was never a Chainer fork. The whole codebase are C libs from Lua Torch, and a bunch of Python code that was written entirely for this project. Chainer was an inspiration, but no code was ever shared between those two projects.

I think that a data flow language would be interesting . Having dataflow as a first class values would be cool. Borrowing stuff from graph computation libraries or graph rewrite systems would be useful. The idea would be that you would take the individual pieces of a dataflow that could be packaged and manipulated . To give an example a set of layers of a CNN or even a whole network like inception could be a first class object. Also, you would want the dataflows to be able to be differential. I think some category theory properties would be helpful to use in this context .
So in other words we should all pay a subsidy to help the "working class"? That's exactly what a tariff is.

I thought conservatives were against forcing people to pay taxes and "big government" and we should let the free market decide - or do they just feel that way about health care?

All wages won't rise because of manufacturing jobs. Just those for manufacturing. It's basically "redistributing" money from those who aren't in the manufacturing industry to those who are. I also thought that conservatives were against "redistribution", or are they for it when it helps "working class Middle America"?
The AMP brand is toxic because it’s a blatant example of Google trying to fork the web and take control of the new standard. It wasn’t done in collaboration with the community and outreach has been sloppy.

I attended the AMP roadshow and the devs come across as condescending as hell and clearly have no interest in hearing about what the community wants. It was a poorly disguised sales pitch filled with unscientific cases studies.

AMP has some good ideas, but Google can’t be trusted with the future of the web.
The lever works both ways, as people found out in 2008 when their debts far exceeded the value of the house.
heh... "proof" that ghosts are real.
Talk about sanctimonious.

Your argument makes things sound even worse today.

We're far more capable, but still playing the same game.
I think this is pretty nail on the head. It also implies that the answer is to just be really open minded about what you like and don't like, and why the people you're meeting like x, y, or z, and you'll end up making a lot of friends you wouldn't have expected before.
Japan doesn't have an artificial demand problem like some other countries. They're also not mentally disabled by skin color.
It was incredibly myopic of Satoshi Nakamoto to start with a white paper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" for sure. That Nakamoto guy missed _so much_ of the point.

Or maybe people want the point to be something other than it was.

Yeah, that's the laughable part.
That is the question people should be asking if you don't like the question "how much extra would you pay not to see ads in you car?" we can do the equivalent "how much of a discount would trade to see ads in your car?"
First of all, it wasn't a confrontational comment, it was irony.

And no, self-hosting does not help you control your data. Control would imply some kind of access control or lock, which all hosted services provide. Privacy would imply encryption, which you should be applying to your self-hosted service's files anyway, and can also apply to a hosted service.
People I don't think inherently 'love' cash... I mean think of all the germs on the money you get from a convenience store or McDonalds? I guess a cc can still have germs, but it's also more convenient to not have to step foot near a bank to get it.

I know plenty of people who've never heard of HN who use CC and Debit Cards religiously. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to someday completely move away from physical cash. From a waste standpoint it makes sense, why waste money/physical resources just to create fiat currency when it can all be digitized?
> In the absence of this principle, the Java ecosystem has developed a compensatory mechanism of packaging "shadowed" versions of their dependencies alongside their own code.

well that is okish..

however... looking at the xml stuff.. that is probably bad.
basically a lot of packages repackage xerces2 or the java.xml apis. besides that jaxp with streaming is present in java since 1.6+. But nobody removes this stuff.

As well as very large lasers. Maybe those of the xkcd-what-if size.
It's bad, but what are you going to do? If Google instead offered a paid CDN product in exchange for the lightning bolt and carousel placement the line would still be out the door.

The technical aspects only matter to Google: lightweight sites keep their hosting costs down and the quality decent. AMP is Google's play at finding a place in the social space, and just like Facebook, publishers are happy to play.

Rat Kings
Kruskal Count and Kangaroo Method
I've been using the pomodoro method to fairly good effect. Basically set a timer for 2-355 minutes, and just work on something. Then take a 5-10 minute break and repeat. Every four sessions, take a longer break

I often get into a trap of thinking about the best thing I should be working on rather than actually working on anything. This helps with that. I usually reserve the first two sessions of the day for checking emails and getting organized for the day, then the rest of the day is executing on the plan

Also I document the main things I worked on each period and the time worked each period (in theory it's 25 minutes / session but often more like 35-1 hour+)

After a year of doing this i find ~65% of my time is spent working rather than breaks (including lunch and gym) and I work about 10 hours / day. Should mention I work from home
This product has a subset of features from Drop-box, Trello and Instagram?
So don't package sites with volatile content? Or package the client and pull the content dynamically with JS.
Fair, what I decribed should reduce overhead as well (less nodes = less complexity typically).

Also when you're starting something you can't bill yourself anything mentally. Else you'd go out and be billing someone else, you'd likely make more money. In part cutting costs is important because it's actual savings, i.e. imagning billing yourself doesn't produce real money.
Nope. Your body will do a lot of different things with different inputs.

You're only looking at half of the equation - the input. Look also at the output. If you're eating a lot of fiber and water, such as with lettuce, your "output" will be higher (bathroom).

With white bread, more of what goes in will stay in.

That's an oversimplification, but it's just one example that calories are not all the same.

And for a more interesting example, the studies of fasting have demonstrated that caloric reduction (not complete fasting) will result in more muscle loss as your body is eating its own muscle to operate. But with a few days of total fasting, no calories, you will burn fat to survive. People on a restricted calorie test will lose more weight than people consuming zero calories - at least for a few days.
...that's why I specifically cited small firms?
> The Hum is a phenomenon, or collection of phenomena, involving widespread reports of a persistent and invasive low-frequency humming, rumbling, or droning noise not audible to all people.

Sad to see this has been down-voted. Why do all these not understand the way to madness first starts with a hum?
So now without any studies showing a casualty between less men being in the workforce or fewer going to college being caused by some sort of societal discrimination, we are suppose to believe you? None of the conservative think tanks are willing to do a study?
I’m the same. I find older middle aged people easier to talk to, more interesting, and smaller-egoed as a group.
Some pretty good advice overall, but it's more important to understand why these rules are important and why it's valuable to follow them (and why it might be worthwhile to break them). Also note that there are exceptions to every rule, but you are probably not the exception.

Most importantly, writing (like coding) is not a process of scrubbing through a checklist of rules and making sure you follow each one. Build your toolkit through practice, refine it by editing yourself with a critical eye (using lists of advice if you like), learn to improve what comes out the first time in the future, and get closer and closer to a natural cycle of being able to reliably produce good writing without herculean effort. It's the same as in coding. You need to learn the lessons to know what patterns of code are useful, what code smells are worth putting in the effort to fix, how to effectively refactor code and go from one design to another without dropping the ball or hitting a wall along the way. It'll never stop being work, but you can get good enough so it will feel natural and you'll be able to produce stuff that you can feel proud of (even when you look at it years later).
The Inept Halfpipe Skier Who Loopholed Her Way into the Games
Yes, that's my point. This would be an interesting article if it explored the possibilities and difficulties in solving the problem due to the national border instead of just throwing up its hands and saying "It’s possible that no matter what is done to relieve or attenuate the noise, it might never be enough".
I've been amazed at how unfriendly neighbours are in the same building with multiple rented apartments. Literally the only interactions I've had with neighbours over the last 3 years is when they finally overcome their disinclination to interact to come, furious, to the door to ask that some music or TV program be turned down. I always smile and say hello to the people living in the same building, and at least 70% of the time that is met with looking in the other direction. (East Bay, San Francisco Bay Area).
I fit into your group of males in a stable relationship with no friends beyond that. But I'm an introspective sort of person and I find it more interesting to interact with random strangers on the Internet than I ever would with a friend who I already knew everything about. I'd probably run out of anything to say to any particular person after a while that isn't repetitive.

That doesn't mean I'm going to get sucked into to some kind of tribe like a political party or a religion. Or maybe it's just as accurate to say I already got sucked into a scientific outlook and scepticism at a young age and now find it impossible to escape.
Ehh...that's a stretch.

Typically, 'scene' demos like this intended to be very few lines of code run in assembly without the use of libraries, something that speaks directly to the metal, certainly usually not a higher-level language...but I've never heard of building hardware itself as being part of a 'demo' like this.

I get that you're exaggerating, but I do agree with people's sentiment that if it's using a library to handle the drawing, it's also a stretch to call it 280 characters.
Sounds like your part of HOA that's your first mistake. Although some cities are picky as can be.

Although, I hate ads and, they are just low information propaganda. Honestly, I wish they would go the way of the dodo.
