I've learned that search is very domain-specific and it's only "solved" if you can pin down what "relevant" means for your corpus of documents.

In terms of fundamentals, I'd suggest reading about tf-idf, which is the basis of Lucene (which powers Solr and Elasticsearch).

Illogical. People who can't afford 2 bed rentals don't move to the nearby street if rents are unaffordable. They move to another town where they can afford the rents. Correlation isn't causation
Anything that can be received for free over the air without signing any kind of license agreement should not count as "public performance" in my book.
One doesn't need to go to NK for that. Modern Russian state still tortures political dissidents in prisons even now. Not in large-scale labor-camps, just because it is not that necessary.

It's not an either/or. Both have different, if complementary, effects. Each primarily activates different muscle fiber types, each with its own metabolic benefits.
The biggest impediment is corrupt corporate capital not investing in their infrastructure. Some have taken government subsidies and threw elaborate parties and went on luxury cruises while not building anything.

The companies take that money and do things like buy multi-billion dollar companies with it instead.

The market in this sense is free from competition, free to block municipal broadband (illegal in 20 states), free from the consequences of providing terrible service, free from the risk of losing customers, and free from the social obligations of providing a civic service.

It's classic profiteering, capital extraction, dodging responsibility, and engineering the marketplace that leads to California's and the US's subpar system.

And it stays that way because hoards of people either apologize for it or just refuse to see what it is regardless of the evidence, because they have a larger commitment to their ideas of how things are supposed to be then there reality of how things actually are.

Until people break their mythical love affair with the idea that there is no sustained abuse or corruption in a manufactured free market, we will forever be shackled by reading to address its glaring and obvious issues.
We owe a lot to John Carmack in many ways - but I hope one of his enduring legacies will be the amount of programmers he inspired with both the games he helped make, and the code he made available. It helped many of us to get started somewhere.

I never ended up going into games myself, but in no small part I owe my career to him.

As well as the Doom book, his plan files are a fascinating time capsule to go back over, particularly if you 'came of age' during that golden age of PC games development.

Feature development of GAE (especially the Standard Environment) never stopped. Some of the features require multi quarters of work (e.g. https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2018/05/Increase-perfor...), some are more enterprise-focused, some are not user visible but we improve the reliability with a new stack behind the curtain. We are changing the engine while flying (pun not intended).

For various reasons, supporting new runtimes was never an easy task, even for small version bumps. This has changed drastically, starting with Java8 runtime, to the recently announced NodeJS beta, and to the closed alpha of Python 3 (remember this is Python 3.7). If you followed recent announcements from Google you probably can connect the dots.

I think we are pretty open on what we are working on to our customers, as long as an NDA is signed. If you are interested be sure to let our cloud support team know!

What about accessibility? Accessibility helpers would need semantic information about the UI to be of any use. And I doubt that many homegrown or halfbaked Ui libraries (which would certainly sprout like mushrooms on a platform like yours) would provide correct annotations through an accessibility API. Most developers wouldn't care.
It's closer to 'try not to be attached to specific outcomes'. It's fine to play the game, as long as you don't get so hung up on trying to 'win' that you can't enjoy your life along the way. It's highly unlikely that you'll get to a point where you think that now you've won and can just enjoy, so focusing too much on the game means you will eventually lose - you're not going to live forever. The 'wins' are happening along the way, and if you look, you'll find many of them at times when you're 'losing'.
I love React. Especially when strictly sticking to stateless functional components. It's a truly elegant way to develop.
Google ultimately serves the advertisers, not the end users. This incentivizes manipulation of search results in order to maximize ad growth. On that token alone, they have not solved search. Any newcomer developing a search service would do well to make it radically different from Google rather than a clone with added privacy or a Microsoft logo.

Regarding always being able to find what you are looking for on Google: I often struggle to find niche information using Google, and most content on the Web is not indexed by Google.

I'm more of the opinion that YouTube is less possible to compete with in any serious way.

Note that inhaling heavier-than-air gasses is _way_ more dangerous than inhaling - say - helium, because the latter naturally escapes, the former will tend to remain at the bottom of your lungs (if you stay upright) and will be difficult to exhale.

That's a cherry-picked stat if I've ever seen one. There was a huge bubble in December that clearly couldn't continue forever. Look a little further back; they've grown 30x from two years ago. They are unlikely to be in a desperate position anytime soon. Their revenue from the recent bubble alone ought to carry them for years.
No doubt iPad is worth replacing the conventional laptops. I had the bulky old HP Envy laptop and then saw iPad 12.9" in my friend's hands.

Most of the higher level code like that is written by incompetent people who make amateur hour mistakes and only release overengineered under documented slow broken code that is never supported and gets deprecated in a week.

I'm constantly shocked and amazed at the beginner mistakes riddled throughout these hip cool kid frameworks. And the dependencies of that code, and their dependencies, and the build system, and the management of the build system. It's a 5,000 hour a week job fixing all that and someone else will just go in and break it again.

So no, don't tell me to stop my life and fix everyone's mistakes. This is why there's 10 person teams to build an ecommerce site these days. This used to be a weekend project before all these slick stylish tools took up everyone's time.

Most people are incompetent and the more complexity you have, the greater your chances of getting crap code tearing your system apart

If you just want a primer on how to think about adding search to a product, this piece by Max Grigorev is a great starting point: https://medium.com/startup-grind/what-every-software-enginee... It's ostensibly for the engineer, but actually feels more like it's written from the POV of a product manager.
In fairness, that answer didn't directly address your question. The sampling approach helps a little with that liquidity issue, since the manager probably chooses a disproportionately liquid sample.

But I don't see why people worry about divergence between the price of an ETF and the price of its illiquid holdings. The illiquidity is fundamentally there, and it's just a question of whether you expose it to the customer (like an ETF) or conceal it using stale prices, estimated prices, etc. (like a mutual fund).

>The entire auto-sales model is centered around tricking people into accepting terms worse than the perceived TCO.

how? you mean long auto loan periods?
One consideration for where this could be very useful: if you're constructing autonomous agents who can seek and aggregate information and dispatch actions on your behalf, giving these agents access to segments of a personal datastore like this could be an interesting starting point.

Oddly enough, I keep going back conceptually to the 'gevulot' concept from Rajaniemi's 'The Quantum Thief' as an idealized implementation of this.
Everybody is doing it (at least where I'm from). There's good framework/vendor support for OAuth 2 and JWT breaks the nexus between the services and the magic auth server that must be called on each and every request.

Even with the horrors of the implementation ({"alg": "none"}) It's a risk that many organisations are willing to take.

> What bothers me about people who promote psychedelics is that they ignore the utter fragility of the human mind. Most people will come back from their experience but in others it can instigate or hasten mental decline (e.g. schizophrenia, psychological dependency).

I am apparently very sensitive to THC, because under what seem like mild doses to most people, I feel like I have lost my grip on reality in a deeply uncomfortable way. I have never tried more serious psychedelics due to fear for my safety and sanity.

I suspect many people have experiences that feel much more manageable. But I agree with your skepticism about the maximalist viewpoint.
This is caused by Apple’s business model which relies on over-charging for flash memory, so they make it artificially difficult to access external storage that would let you use cheaper iDevices.

Sandisk iXpand flash drives have a growing list of compatible iOS applications which can read/write external storage directly. In theory, they could make an iXPand-to-SD adapter, but that would compete with their business model.

> One major issue we've had though, which wasn't touched in this article, is inter-component communication among siblings.

The way we typically handle something like this is by connecting components through a common ancestor. The default naive behavior of Panel apps is for linked components to share a "centralized state bag" (as one of the other comments calls it re: Redux), and updates to that state automatically cascade to all the components. It's a blunt, easy and lightweight way to propagate changes arbitrarily throughout an app, but it does get unwieldy as the state object gets big so we've ended up with some mechanisms for partial state-sharing to address this issue.
My headless Chrome app is currently running on GAE Flex. It requires a few extra packages like fonts-liberation and fonts-indic. Does GAE standard allow that?
To be fair: PEP 3333 that addresses WSGI support with Python 3 Unicode was initially drafted in September 2010. I would consider that to be the first day we can write a web server in Python 3.

> Would you argue against Chrome sending out random LLMNR requests at boot to detect attackers on the network?

Good question.

No, I wouldn't, because it serves that user directly. Google could argue that the TLS 'GREASE' benefits users, but that benefit, and let's assume it exists, is very indirect: That user won't see any benefit that day, that week, and maybe never; Google is using their users' computers to advocate something that Google thinks is a good idea. To demonstrate GREASE can be taken too far, imagine the extreme case where Google has Chrome send messages to U.S. Congresspeople advocating against some policy - Google could argue that they believe it's in the users' interests, but that would be highly disingenuous. Again, that's extreme and not going to happen.

More realistically, imagine Microsoft had Windows 10 insert something in network traffic to compel compatibility with some proprietary technology of theirs. Imagine vendors disagreed about some standard, and different products used GREASE to compete for different outcomes.

Where do you draw the line? I think GREASE violates end-user control or autonomy. They become pawns in a standards competition. It's very arrogant of Google and support of it betrays an arrogance perspective here at HN: users are pawns, and their computers are ours to use as we see fit. (It's also intentionally bad engineering, which makes me very uncomfortable.)
Looks like it doesn't support yarn.
If you are going to use Wordpress, you can host anywhere. I am with Digitalocean, because it's only $5 a month and it seems to have the best documentation for self hosting.

I have heard good things about the Wordpress.com hosting, and they have that Android/Iphone app to blog on the fly.

Wherever you host, Wordpress will have multiple plugins for code highlighting etc, although I haven't tried any yet.
Accessibility is definitely something I have thought about, too. Including accessibility features in the API is vital I think. I'm not very familiar with accessibility features as they exist today, but I think it would be possible for longer term projects built on top of such a UI system to emerge which would provide accessibility information by default, and the rest would resemble what we have with HTML today.

I've never understood this idea of feeling humiliated at the gym

I think it's a common insecurity, especially given the degree of body shaming in a society. Newbies need to be encouraged with the basic fact that generally speaking, nobody cares what you do (or don't do), what weights you lift, etc. A stranger can't know if you are new, or injured, or rehabbing, or weakened by a chronic condition. As long as you learn basic safety and etiquette, anybody of any ability can blend in seamlessly. Sure, jerks exist, and it's generally illegal to kill them, but just ignore them (if they become a problem, tell management -- they don't want a toxic environment).

You know, I am describing specific metrics, not the general situation. For example, demographics in the US are dismal. Not the US in general. Demographics in the EU are a disaster, in China they are worse, in Japan they are nothing short of a catastrophe.
It's not that people have moved on. It's that the entire culture of the ecosystem is built upon a narrative that Google is an all-powerful machine that cannot be stopped or contested. So people don't try to compete, and if they do, they will be ridiculed for it.

And for what good reason? Certainly not because of past attempts. In fact, Google has bought some startups that were involved with search.

I'd be interested in knowing what you find. There are bound to be many relevant texts not labeled as search, if you know what you are looking for. Perhaps I would start with web crawlers and go from there.
The PSF might be trying to murder Python 2, but it can't do it any more than GCC could kill c99 for c11.

According to the Atlantic, Kolodny's thesis is that toolbuilding laid the groundwork for the development of language.
How about other human behaviors such as group activities requiring coordination and planning, or language as a means to invoke and control specific emotions in others?
Certainly activities such as building encampments, changing encampments, delegation of tasks, coordination during hunting and gathering, all these also required sequenced actions.
Fast forward to the present, and toolmakers are generally below the topmost pinnacle of society; MIT's endowment is only 13 billion compared to Harvard's 35 billion (humor intended).
Dogs and chimps seem to enjoy hearing, learning, being influenced, and being told what to do via language, yet aren't capable of speaking it. Surely pre-modern humans were the same, leaving open a huge selective advantage for the development of vocal/language skills.
My bad. I captured the wrong icon. I fixed that in the latest commit.

I would love to see Intel tweaking the Phi line with asymmetric cores like some ARMs do. Having a couple brawny proper Xeon cores and a bunch of smaller 4-thread cores, all coupled with local HBM (and maybe some dedicated HBM for each core) would make it a very versatile part that, with some tuning in number of cores, cache sizes, HBM size, etc, could cover from low-end server all the way to supercomputing.

I don't think there is much doubt core count will increase on all segments and that asymmetric core tech that's currently used in ARM is pretty cool.

I'm not interested in blaming or praising anyone, I just want to use simple phrases like "let's make math joyful again" without worrying someone might associate it with racism or other things that didn't even cross my mind.

It's not about MAGA anymore, it's just more and more often people's innocuous statements are interpreted in an offensive way, and at some point you just prefer not to speak anymore because you don't know what can be offending, and you don't ever touch important matters, keeping your opinions to yourself, maybe allowing a watered-down version that actually doesn't make any point - and that's the public discourse today.
I think that your post kind of proves my point, as in you're taking it for granted that you needed an army in order to survive as a country (even as not really independent). That was not always so.
It depends.

There is generally two types of reproductive method;

A) what we do. Get a few children and then invest a lot of resources, including self-sacrifice, to bring them up

B) birth as many children as you possibly can, then invest little to no resources in them, whoever survives may reproduce.
