Huge fan as well. What I really want is a terminal which has Vim's "normal mode" keybindings for scrolling back the buffer, selecting, find/replace... but then anytime you go to "insert mode", you get Readline. Best of both worlds.
You can try sites such as wix or strikingly which offer a wysiwyg editor and allow you to build your website without knowing the first thing about HTML. Saves you the hassle of hosting your own Wordpress or static pages (although S3 and others work great for that), will allow you to do some basic integration with G Analytics and so forth, and will take you all of 5 minutes to set up.
You're vastly overrating the size of the vulnerability and the security of banks. This would not have been caught by internal security teams at most banks and even if it was caught, it wouldn't be considered a major vulnerability on a major banking website.

With that said, this is a bigger vulnerability precisely because Facebook is a free service - at banks, you need to be a customer with real-world identity to even begin to attempt to exploit this.
I wish this had better branding. You can't say "just DuckDuckGo it". It has to have a single, or at most a double-syllable name that is easy to remember. Like Google or Bing.

But maybe it's part of some sort of strategy where in the early years the branding is weird in order to gain notoriety, and then change it when the timing is right.

I think right now this is probably slowing growth. I wonder how much would duck.com cost.
I've made an interpreted language on top of JS, tailored for beginners
I've made a tiny interpreted language on top of JS, together with an debugger, heap vizualizer and editor with common IDE shortcuts ( prettification, go to definition...).

Github:

https://github.com/vasyop/mono

Demo (try step over):

https://vasyop.github.io/mono/

It's basically a simplified C with a single data type: int, and it's made to teach fundamental concepts with people with 0 programming experience: expressions, statements, stack, heap, pointers...etc, without having to install anything or get scared by the complexity of a fully-fledged language / IDE.

Initially I just wanted to learn about how to make a language, but I thought I would make something useful out of it. What are your thoughts?

What I plan to do next :

- release tutorials for people with 0 programming experience

- compile it to instruction set and making a small VM ( instead of walking the AST as I am doing now, which is very slow ).

I tried training small RNN models using GA around 1990. I had lunch with John Koza (the genetic programming pioneer) and he suggested that it was an interesting idea but would not scale. The Uber team, my controlling mutation, got it to scale - good for them. I did a few years later use this as an example in my book "C++ Power Paradigms", McGraw-Hill 1994 (Genetic Algorithms, Neural Networks, and Constraint Programming).

True. As other users noted, when using DDG you have to be more specific simply because DDG doesn't have as much information about you as Google has.

But ... this also means that a DDG search would work well on Google. So a revert-to-Google button could help people make the transition. I suppose that people will become more and more specific in their queries until at some point they never need to hit that "!g" button anymore.
Starting offensive linemen are among the highest paid players in the NFL and have the longest careers on average, some spanning more than 15 years.

Dallas is paying its O-Line $41,174,860 this year, $4,574,984 per player on average (including all 9 starters and backups), which is 22.25% of the salary cap.

There's a Firefox Add-on named "Facebook Container". Once you install that Facebook lives in a little box, Facebook cookies, Facebook whatever else, all trapped in the little box.

No effort needed, if you click your Facebook bookmark, or follow a link or whatever, the browser goes "Oh, this is Facebook" and traps it inside the box with the rest of Facebook without any extra steps from the user. There's a cute blue "Facebook" icon added to the URL bar so you can see it's working.

What is DDG's business model?
The deeper question is where will this go? The web has been capitalized by the ethical breach of abusing the lacking of general technological knowledge by most people and new breed developers aren’t paying attention. I feel your pain but cannot offer a reasonable solution but one may exist with the required ethos. After posting, moments later I saw a post of the following. It holds promise from the inventor of the web:

"Corner store" doesn't mean a store at the corner of an intersection. It means the store you can walk to from your home, with many of the things you might need day to day.

The term implies more density, rather than just being closer.
I wonder if we can’t just all move toward “search”. It’s usually obvious from context, and with more and more search engines (whether they be whole-web or isolated to a given social network), it seems like a viable alternative.
you actually do not provide evidence for this. Mainly because google's searching is subjective. Your result for "go vs rust" might be entirely different from mine on google. mind you i don't actively use DDG, but them being privacy first, i assume they do not apply your prefence to search results this way.

Duckduckgo seems very useful to getting out of the specific bubble google has created for in relation to your search history.

(ps, i did not downvote you btw).
ironically instead of just giving me a link, now dyckduckgo results list will track me to known which link I clicked.

this is the beginning of the end for duckduckgo :(
I find that duckduckgo is more easily tricked by SEO compared to google when it comes to long searches. Other than that I use it exclusively. After a few months of use I've gotten to a point that I subconsciously know which searches will need a g! before I even search them( I've confirmed this multiple times as well).

Let's Make Software Better: The Anti-Rant Tactics
I have been using DDG on my laptop for a while, now. These are some great examples of what it can do that I never knew! Thanks for sharing. That said, I have regularly made use of !g when the results were absolutely horrid. Often, it is when I am looking for something frustratingly specific that is named frustratly generic. So while I understand DDG's results, Google (scarily) understands me and gives me exactly what I want even for those only-a-geek moments.
Nice! I’ve been at this game for a while and ctrl-r must have slipped right past me till now. I’ve regularly do ‘history | grep ___’ but ctrl-r looks like a far better solution.
This is bad, but I also understand why Musk turned it down. Adding board members and replacing CEO would mean that Musk lets someone else to control his destiny. It's hard decision. He was once pushed out from PayPal and he has structured all his business so that it won't happen again.

Musk is very bold with leverage and financial engineering. Just as bold as he is with rockets and technology. CEO working only for Tesla is not working for the whole interconnected Musk business. SolarCity type maneuvers are out.

At the beginning of 2018 Musk had loans against 40% his Tesla stock and TSLA is down 17%. He has probably leveraged his SpaceX stocks too. SpaceX the company is funding Boring Company just like it provided loans to Tesla once.

If Musk receives margin calls for his loans against Tesla stock, it can start a snowball effect where Musk loses the control of other companies as well.

Computer Science degree.

Sure, lots of us "learnt" programming in our bedrooms or whatever by doing our own thing and messing about in whatever language. I went into my compsci degree arrogantly thinking that I pretty much knew how to code already so please just give me the bit of paper saying I have the degree and I'll be on my way thanks very much.

I was very wrong.

Although I was pretty good at the coding (or at least I like to think so), I learnt so much more of the theory that is as relevant today as it was then, and as it was decades before that too. It stretched me in ways I did not even know I could be stretched - I dont think I would never have learnt the "hard" theory that transcends specific programming languages if I was just tinkering around on my own or reading a "How to program Python/Visual Basic 6/PHP/C#" books etc (aged myself there with VB6!).

More or less every day I still use those skills/knowledge I learnt on my degree, but not only that I came out beaming with confidence and the knowledge that I knew my stuff.

As a direct result of my degree I enjoy a pretty cushy, well-paid, well-perked, and secure job at a company that many people dream of working at, and have done for years. Sure it was 4 years and a few thousand GBP (at the time in the UK - more expensive now) but totally 100% worth it - I genuinely dont think I'd be where I am now if I had not done the degree.
By my reasoning it would be a fallacy to assume that all the members of a large project are unethical, which is exactly what some in the comments are suggesting.

And is ridiculous, for anyone who's worked in the real world.

We all make ethical compromises, and have worked for companies that made ethical decisions we didn't agree with.

That was the crux of the Nuremberg Trials: what portion of an endeavor's ethical decisions can be assigned to an individual.

The answer was "more than none, but less than all."
Hey you’re not wrong, just maybe not clear enough.

It’s true that many traditional publications and houses are slower to adapt to changes in the digital landscape ever since print as an output has been sidelined. They like to find something that works and stick with it, even if it’s not optimal.

It would likely explain LA Times’ delay.

It’s taken teams I’ve been on a year to procure a ten dollar a month VPS because the request would continually get turned down by infra.
People get creative if they want to. I can imagine people saying just duck it. Or "see if you can find a quack." (ok that one probably not)

Point being, if it really gets wildly popular it still might be translated into a verb.

You posted it to a public forum at least twice. Here, you’re using it as a jumping off point to argue that the perception of Nazis as evil from the start is a “retcon.”

Thank you. However Israel is not a red herring in this as far as I am concerned.

I believe that what's going on in the Labour Party is an attempt to stifle criticism of Israel and in particular its treatment of the Palestinians.

I don't know if it's directly related to Israeli Governemnt Minster Erdan's "PR Commando Unit", announced last year. but it sounds very similar.
I really want to love DuckDuckGo, but for programming things I search for the results are simply to weak.
Career sabotage, IP theft?! That's terrible. If it was a regular job it may be easy to leave or find another one, but doing a degree, especially a PhD, is a serious commitment and a lifestyle change. Outside of this, the bullying behavior is common enough across everywhere ... put a person with serious ego and control issues in a power position and they will end up a tyrant.
So what is Azure Sphere? I read their website and I tried really hard to get past the corporate bullshit speak, but in the end I had to give up. It's just meaningless mumbo-jumbo.

Ahh yes competition between VC funds and the enterprising entrepeneurs of Rio.
I think he mentioned this briefly in the article. In C it's common to use intrusive data structures like linked lists and AVL trees because that's how the language works, you can embed data structures easily. This wouldn't work with a B tree because it's allocation pattern is very specific. Rust on the other hand is very pro-generics where you can write a B-tree and painlessly have it store whatever anybody wants it to. It's more about what the language makes easy and idiomatic than anything.
What you describe is a clear regression to pre-Google days where searching was kind of dark art. DDG really needs to improve its usability and try prioritize the most relevant results without specifying extra keywords. Yes, it is impossible to be level with Google in this game. But DDG can surely do much better than now, without any intrusive tracking. E.g. when I search a restaurant by its name from an IP address in Europe, why do I get results with restaurants in the USA? Or when I search for a name from a university IP address, why instead of the researcher with that name I get the name of a second rate sportsman?

I am in a union. We do get pressure from administration. They can’t force me to use a given website but pressure does exist. You’ve made a lot of assumptions about me and what happens in departments. I’ve been in the job for 18 years and my anecdotal experience differs from your perception. I’m guessing you aren’t employed as a faculty member at a college. I don’t know if this is the case but your assertions feel like someone who is speaking about things they peripherally understand.

Your first paragraph is just plain wrong. There have been a number of states that have legally mandated that there can be no more than one precollege level math course before being allowed to take college algebra. This is an example of effectively being told what to do whilst maintaining the veneer of faculty control. I do not think you really understand the situation.

You made a comment about the rest of the world not selling out. You really think this? Google engineers haven’t sold out so to speak? Soldiers transporting people to secret prisons to be tortured haven’t sold out? When you use such hyperbole it’s hard not to read into your words anger and bitterness. It diminishes the quality of your comment.

I reiterate, the forces at play are not as simplistic as you appear to think. And the solution definitely isn’t as simplistic as the one you gave.
“Just search it – and use duckduckgo”

Maybe we should separate the ideas of the search space (the web) and our access to it (the search engine). The destinations will exist whether google or whoever points to them or not. By making that distinction more obvious it might encourage people, when selecting their search tool, to consider the effect of corporate bias on search results.
That's a serious mischaracterization of my point. It's also justification for being nasty to someone who isn't here.

I'm not saying I'm not accountable for choosing to make the comments I've made.

>Chinese companies are making a mad dash to get as much money as they can before investors finally catch onto them.

Well, better to say that Chinese companies were and are making mad dashes to get their MONEY OUT of China with some very inventive ways for decades.

Just before those were gold bars smuggled in the underwear, now those are things like financial instruments IPOs and such.

In a another news today, there was a note about Chinese company called Bytedance claiming bizarre valuation for its NASDAQ IPO, and the whole thread had not a single mention of rather substantiated and spoken about in China notion that Bytedance is another pump and dump scheme riding the ongoing O2O frenzy, and that their ownership structure suggest that the few other crazy rich Chinese people on board simply looking for a way to get their money out of China through that IPO.

DDG cannot provide personalized results, because the service they are using to get results (from Bing) does not provide that feature.

You can do both, but it’s easier to go to the desk because a supervisor needs to override. Amazon usually isn’t very price competitive so it is harder to use than one might think.

It consistently amazes me how often we fail to guide policy by aligning priorities and allowing the details to be figured out.

If faculty bonuses included a mix of pass rates, success in subsequent classes, AND textbook cost, this problem would go away.

Don't blame logical actors for looking at the existing system making a logical choice -- especially when we have the power to change the system.
This article doesn’t do a good job defining bullying, but the examples they give sound normal to mild compared to the private sector. “Extreme pressure to produce results” sounds more like typical (bad) management than bullying.

DDG is the default search engine in Tor browser, which explains at least my personal DDG usage.
Google is also becoming less likeable as a whole, and people in general are more concerned about their privacy than before.
Can you give a few examples of those?
They have improved a lot over the past couple of years, I use it as my engine of choice these days. For really obscure problems, the results on Google are still better, but about 99 percent of time, DuckDuckGo is en par with Google by now.

It's probably the same in canada and the UK, but academic advancement in the US has just as much to do with personal relationship as with merit. How much your professors like you and who they know is essential for how you progress within academia. Beyond recommendation letters, it's your professor's access to the academic network ( lab openings, research opportunities, etc ) and other jealously guarded opportunities. These professors are truly gatekeepers to your success.

"After graduation, Zhang had a hard time finding an academic position. In a 2013 interview with Nautilus magazine, Zhang said he did not get a job after graduation. "During that period it was difficult to find a job in academics. That was a job market problem. Also, my advisor did not write me letters of recommendation." The reason behind this is that Zhang's research pointed out the mistakes made by his advisor Tzuong-Tsieng Moh's previous work. Moh was very unhappy with this and refused to write the job recommendation letter for Zhang.[11] Zhang made this claim again in George Csicsery’s documentary film Counting From Infinity while discussing his difficulties at Purdue and in the years that followed."

>you actually do not provide evidence for this

I did, I listed 1 big evidence (the lack of indexing client-side rendered HTML), and also a simple example "rust vs go" that came to my mind. Take another example that I just tried, search "classical music only" in both engines and see the difference, this is a very popular youtube channel and has a website but nothing is shown in DDG for me.

As much as I want to join you guys against the big fat lazy monopolist called Google, I can't just make myself blind and claim that DDG is anywhere near to Google when it comes to accuracy or sophistication. If you really appreciate privacy, why not try something like Startpage instead of hyping another for-profit company?
It's good for everyone that DDG usage is increasing, however, the lack of any kinks, sudden slope increases in the graph tells me weren't any particular set of events that caused people to switch. Rather, they got "fed up with google" at their own pace, and it wasn't any one particular thing that Google did that caused a mass exodus.

That's sad, really, because it means people as a large group don't care about any particular anti-privacy thing that Google did. I would be interesting to see in a few months whether the current Chrome fiasco will have had any effect, but I doubt it.
It was built with threading in mind throughout, which was unusual for the time. Remember, it took until C++11 until threads became part of the language.
