Learning Jiu Jitsu. It is a art form in the truest sense and is an incredible equalizer of humans. You can not truly participate in the sport without learning discipline, patience, humility and passion. The sport has nourished my soul in such a way I detest imagining a life without it.
It's true that they may serve their intended purpose. But only by exposing innocent people to needless risk. Isn't there a better way to achieve the intended purpose?

For example, could the same not be achieved by passing a law allowing the government to revoke the citizenship of anyone who meets these criteria?

edit: Or perhaps a better UI? For example, this is just a checkbox you could accidentally tick. Perhaps it would be made a little harder - raise a warning perhaps? The real problem i think is that visa authorities can design the worst UIs and get away with it since they are an effective monopoly.
A while ago I switched to duckduckgo.com for a while until I applied for an ESTA visa and wasn't paying attention. I shouldn't have gone for the top result, I know... On my flight to the US my bank received already three fraudulent creditcard transactions. Banks from my country are very quick though and froze everything. However, it makes me realize personally that ranking algorithms are important, especially if you're in a hurry.

PS: The governmental site is now at rank 1 on duckduckgo.

Yes, and amazon gets to put a sticker on every item you sell (or at least the SKUs you enroll in transparency) no matter what channel you sell it in. I can’t imagine why vendors might not want to do that if they want to sell anyplace other than Amazon.
Totally, but I've had the best experience using KVM over VMware or VirtualBox. They have built in a lot of support for virtio hardware so KVM works very well.
And, judging by your command of the grammar and structure, you learned it quite well!
There's really two main options

- Single static page (netlify as host or similar)

- Wordpress (sitegrounds as host)

If you want premade templates to just modify some images / cut out content, I would use themeforest

She doesn't have to force them not to leave.

Merely giving a televised speech that she respects the will of the people, but hopes they will take into consideration here years of experience and view it will be dreadfully harmful would have probably nudged a no. I know she normally does not comment on politics, but I also thought it's not out of the realm of possibility she'd pull a Silent Bob and speak up briefly when it is deeply needed.

Again I ask: what is the point of the monarchy, if they do not step in as some sort of check on the legislative branch when things go off the rails?

> Airbnb has no motive to fix it because their service looks great with rating inflation.

They have no motive to fix it if they have an incredibly short term view of things. It's fairly obvious that this damages the entire platform over time.

Framing a stupid decision as rational because it's rational if you squint enough doesn't ring true. It's rational to think ahead a bit and take into account secondary and tertiary effects.
It would probably explode more if they would add the ability to search within the past year.
It's not enabled by default on the latest Chrome, at least for macOS (10.14). You can enable it using the #enable-mark-http-as flag, after which HTTP pages with password fields will look like this:

Honestly: I'd buy a good base design with WYSIWYG builder support.

Something like https://elementor.com/ for wordpress or even go straight for squarespace (not sure how expensive that is though).

I feel like we are finally at a point where you don't have to know CSS anymore for pretty static websites. At my job we are 50% devs, but marketing and design does the website all on their own with some wordpress builder plugin and it's alright.

There’s the old saw about the “repeal” of good ol’ Glass-Steagall again. The change in 1999 merely did away with restrictions on commercial banks and investment banks being controlled by the same holding company. There were enormous moral-hazard problems for all banks, and that was induced by what were then only widely assumed bailout guarantees.

I’m just a random guy on the Internet. Maybe you’ll believe WaPo[0].

But why let facts get in the way of a good screenplay?

Facts such as that Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch — three institutions at the heart of the crisis — were pure investment banks that had never crossed the old line into commercial banking. The same goes for Goldman Sachs …

The infamous AIG? An insurance firm. New Century Financial? A real estate investment trust. No Glass-Steagall there.

Two of the biggest banks that went under, Wachovia and Washington Mutual, got into trouble the old-fashioned way – largely by making risky loans to homeowners. Bank of America nearly met the same fate, not because it had bought an investment bank but because it had bought Countrywide Financial, a vanilla-variety mortgage lender.

Some sort of a setting for displaying 3-5 frequently used bangs below the search bar would be nice.

That appears to be mostly the case. The whole of Flanders is pretty much urbanized, so results aren't as bad as people feared. However, when the new WHO thresholds are taken into account, about 1 in 7 people are living in the danger zone.
I think there should a be a set of customer configurable (!!! Please no automatic assignment based on ML) buttons that add desired bangs to a search.
Morris Worm happened in 1988 thanks to C's "security features", yet little has been done, beyond putting band aids on top of band aids.

Maybe I get to see some kind of "Safe C" actually being adopted in the UNIX world, before the 50 years' anniversary of the Worm.
My algorithm:

1. Start by saying something, something neutral/positive or a compliment: "Nice weather, eh?", "Great party!", "Nice tie"

2. Ask questions: "How are you doing ?", "What brought you here ?", "What line of work are you in ?"

3. Repeat #2 until you find something that you have something to say about.
Could be that you discover you're in the same line of work, grew up in the same town, etc

4. Keep your talking time to 50% or less, be sure to throw in questions here and there and respond to the answers.

5. Profit !
More cynically, the vast majority of Internet customers are OK with it.

Given the choice between having the consumer wait 10 more seconds for the page, vs. not knowing whether the ad company screwed them / leaving 1c on the table in data not collected & sold... they'll happily choose to waste someone else's time, every time.
Having buttons for "try this search on [Google] [Yandex]" could be useful data to collect for improving the search results.
Ask HN: How long have Google / Facebook etc. been trying to kill the web?
I'm a game dev. I have zero interest in the web.
But I recently had to make a landing page for one of my games.
I was able to throw together a perfectly serviceable page (with html and css that I remember from college) in a few hours.
I hosted it on Netlify which worked perfectly and was very easy for me to use.

The problem is my page seems to be considered dangerous..

https://image.ibb.co/dq3WGz/image.png

I've seen articles / comments here complaining that the olden days of peoples weird personal sites are gone... But it further seems that the big players (facebook et al) are actively trying to squash anything akin to this 'old' web by making it not compatible with their system..
Did I get this right? + How long has it been going on?
IMO - the open textbooks should be based on a web/tablet/e-reader based environment to remove printing all together.

If they were in fact apps - teachers could even have the auto-homework pieces built in. The government should invest in this kind of solution. If you consider: 19.9 million college students - there are numerous classes every single one has to take cycle... we'd do well to build a US government app platform for all students in those classes.
Can you reveal how you did that?

EDIT: typo
Well, if I have misjudged you, I apologise for that!

The thing is that Israel is a red herring, the traditional anti-Semitism of the left pre-dates its existence and is rooted in the stereotypical association of Jews with finance and hence capitalism in general. Therefore often Zionist is a code-word meaning simply Jew. Banker is often used in a similar way too. Similarly, members of the far-right say Canadians when they mean black people.
By doing mostly. But theory eventually creeps in as you figure it out. For the lazy, yt channels like 12tone, jazz duets, and 8bit music theory, lay it out quite well in differing but succinct manner.
>typing "!g" when a search does not return what I want is too clumsy. It requires 7 touch-events on mobile (including focus and space).

Part of the issue is you search differently with Google. Most users treat their keywords as circles in a venn diagram - the top result being the center.

Try being a little more explicit with DDG. Add the year a movie came out, the first and last name of a person + their title if it's a common name, things like that.

Also an aside, "!s" routes through startpage, which proxies a google search for you - much more private but still leveraging the Pagerank algorithm.

Interesting. (Awesome compiler explorer website, btw).

The Julia version (whose runtime is halfway between the C versions with vs without -O3) contains both recursive calls, FWIW.
I find that DDG has as good as Google results, but it "speaks" differently. I was with you, but the more I use DDG the more I find my queries adapting to DDGs style. Now when I end up using Google, by accident on other people's devices, I get bad results because now I am used to searching in a DDG way and not a Google way.
> It seems like if you're a small brand, like Fuse Chicken, you should be able to become the exclusive supplier of your own product on Amazon. For anyone else you sell your product to, include a "this may not end up on Amazon" clause and then you're sure everything on Amazon came direct from you.

I'm pretty sure a clause like that would be an infringement of rights grants by the First Sale doctrine [0] and would be void (in the US at least).

A Troubling Trend for Cities: Slowing Revenue but Rising Spending Growth
That's a good point, thanks for reminding me about bangs. The one issue with them is that they're assigned by DDG (i.e., not free-form). (I don't think there was one for Stack when I started using DDG, and I never thought to check back.)
I'm a fan of this blog and the way it develops the simple idea of the Growth Ponzi Scheme, which is sucking the life out of towns everywhere in the US.

https://www.strongtowns.org/the-growth-ponzi-scheme/

I also like the way this post breaks down the numbers. for example:

Okay. So we're talking about an amount [to be spend on roads] equivalent to more than the county's entire budget right now, and a really sizable fraction even if we add cities (which provide more services than the county itself, and which are responsible for maintaining local streets) into the mix.

For myself and other visual learners, it would be very helpful to see these numbers presented graphically. Graphs for other data are presented in the article, but not the numbers I reference above that clearly paint a picture of program that will end in tears.
College professors and the department are the gatekeepers, they pick the textbooks, they set the curriculum. Administrators might push something, but it is exceptionally rare for anyone outside of a department to dictate exactly what materials and resources they're required to use.

As an aside is your argument:

- Underpay

- Being a college professor is hard

- Administration made me do it

Because that really was the smorgasbord of excuses. I have very little sympathy for #1 (see college tuition increases; unionize if you want a larger piece of the pie), #2 since the whole rest of the world manages without selling out, and #3 is pretty much everyone's job (i.e. standing up to bad administration decisions).

We've had the same lame excuses for the last twenty years while the problems continue to get worse. Until incentives align, or the public correctly holds professors/departments accountable, this will continue and continue to get worse. None of the excuses here change that.
> Same, very happy using DDG. I hope they're becoming profitable.

It's my understanding they are profitable, a large chunk being things like Amazon referrals (nontrackable).

They may not have as many users but they also have much lower overhead since they don't need vast teams of engineers working on new ways of slicing and dicing data.
This is a non-paywall version of the synopsis (the original link for this post is a paywalled synopsis of a paywalled report ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), the actual report is still behind a paywall.

The partial data at this link is:

Couldnt find anything else from googling around.

We can't have discussion without common vocabulary and common economic concepts that we both understand.

Your are using words like demand and supply general concepts not a specific model of price determination and then arguing freely with them. This is why you don't understand what supply and demand must match means.
Search "go vs rust" and set the filter to the "past month" in both Google and DuckDuckGo. I can go on and on, but this is just a simple evidence of how inferior DuckDuckGo is. Also DuckDuckGo is incapable of indexing client-side rendered HTML which has become increasingly important over the past few years.

The crontab parser is a thing of beauty
Sounds like calligraphy is an activity you enjoy for its own sake.

For some reason I've often been focused on what the benefit from doing an activity is. For pure enjoyment I would just consume movies or video games. Somehow I missed the idea that there are many activities that might be beneficial, but that even without the benefits would be enjoyable activities to engage in.

For example many programming tasks are enjoyable enough in themselves, even if they result in no outcome. Maybe that's why "this guy made $10 million with this app"-type of stories might be harmful, as they makes you forget that programming in itself is often an enjoyable task, never mind the other rewards.

Besides programming, I would say messing around with music creation programs (Ableton Live is my favorite) and 3D modeling software (Blender) can be as much fun as gaming, even if you aren't any good. I've also experimented with drawing, but I find that a bit harder to enjoy while having no skill. Maybe there is a base level of competence you need to attain before an activity starts being enjoyable for its own sake.

On the maps side of things, !osm searches open street map, which is not perfect but decent enough for many cases.

Yes, these inputs are more expensive now. The article I linked goes into some detail. I'd like us to find ways of reducing the costs of these inputs. Do you have any ideas for doing that? Suggesting that my post "seems to smell of... ignorance" is both hostile and unproductive. Thanks.
A babelfish for cron! It seems years too late in some ways, yet I have a funny feeling it will remain relevant for many years to come. Thank you.
Not to try and derail the conversation, but "!sp" uses startpage, a proxy that searches google on your behalf so google doesn't get to track you.
There it is: Keynesianism is not just bad, wrong, and irrelevant but utopian.
hi google!
Unfortunately, I would advise against not paying attention. The amount of scamming sites on Google's ad-based front-page is much larger than DDG.

There is really no place to run, the internet is a dangerous place.
For me, bangs are the actual killer feature. Because when I set DDG as my default search engine in my browser, I get to use bangs at the address bar.

So for example rather than having to use Wikipedia's or Stack Overflow's search bar to find something, it's just Ctrl+t and "!w <term>" or "!gi <term>".

On Windows this is quite 50-50 -- you're likely holding the mouse anyway. On Unix machines with more keyboard-oriented UI, with say a tiling WM, things like bangs at browser address bar are a godsent. Of course it is nice on mobile too -- direct queries rather than hoppping around using clumsy touchscreen.

There are likely browser extensions for this though, but none of them set DDG as their default search engine -- so just doing that manually also gives you the bangs so in my book DDG wins here ;)
Except for searches on Google Scholar, ddg is my primary search engine. Very few times have I found that I get better results in Google.
While it is great to admire the care and dedication that went into this game let's not draw conclusions that Eric's approach is a widely applicable recipe to long term wealth and healthy relationships.

This is classic survivorship bias.

There are countless stories of one person obsessing over some project, making progress, sometimes even shipping the project yet not getting the recognition/fame/money.

Meanwhile they are losing relationships and health in the process.

The great novel is a common culprit, but the great app is a fast rising contender.

The main thing to remember is "building/shipping is not enough".

In fact the one intriguing thing glossed over in the article is how he managed to get a distributorship deal.

"So yeah, true, let’s acknowledge the awful things about Churchill. But let’s not over exaggerate them or use them to draw a moral equivalency with Adolf fucking Hitler."

Exactly. Let's see him as a flawed person who sometimes was very wrong and sometimes very right. For current and past leaders this means we should carefully evaluate what they do and say instead of blindly following them only because they did something good in the past.

Readline —- I’m sometimes amazed at the number of relatively seasoned developers who don’t know simple commands like ctrl-r. This one really pays off because almost all shells and repls like ipython or the mysql client implement it.

Sample cheat sheet:

https://readline.kablamo.org/emacs.html

You don’t have to learn it all, but mastering the basics like moving to the end/beginning on the line, moving/deleting by word, yank, history search and the like will pay off handsomely.
This is interesting, can you expand at all? I have a similar sense, but can't really articulate the difference.
Fully agree with you.

Although not politically correct, that is the only way to overcome religious resistance against new technologies.
The "Rust Evangelism Strike Force" is a dumb meme (but I repeat myself) that gets used sarcastically, and was originally coined by people who were themselves critical of Rust. If you have links to instances of people doing exactly as OP wrote, please paste them here; I am mod of /r/rust, where we have had a "No zealotry" rule ("Stay mindful of the fact that different technologies have different goals and exhibit fundamentally different tradeoffs in pursuit of those goals.") since long before cat-v.org concocted the RESF, and I am happy to rein people in if their heads get too big. :)

As to whether my above question is serious, the answer is yes, because truth be told I see more people complaining about Rust Evangelism than I see instances of evangelism in the first place, to the extent that I wonder if that itself has become a meme by now.
If you're talking about CRUD boilerplate apps, literally any modern web framework in a static language.

Again, even if "rapid prototyping" was a thing in Rails (i.e. rapid as opposed to what?) you start paying back the price tenfold once your project becomes moderately complex, test coverage or not.

So if your question is specifically "What's a good stack for a blog I'll never touch again or maintain with X and Y integration, tomorrow", then ok, cool, Rails.
