Am I missing something? Google gives me the creeps as much as it does to any sane person, but if I understand correctly, DDG is comparing just the variation of results on each page. This doesn't mean that you're still in the (same) bubble when you log out.

How about comparing the logged-in data with logged-out / private tab data? Did they find these two sets related? If not, G could be just implementing some sort of A/B testing on grand scale (learning from clicks and making search algorithm better).
From this report https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/markets/2016/05/17/saud... it sounds like Saudi Arabia holds under $120 billion of US Treasuries with the total outstanding US debt being $21.702 trillion https://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/mspd/2018/opd...

At 0.55% (the figure has possibly have gone down due to the drop in oil prices between 2016 and 2018) they're a significant holder, but hardly a market maker.
And I'm saying there are any number of second order expenses associated with traveling a lot. For example, I have a lawn service that I probably wouldn't need if I were at home all the time. My driveway is too long to shovel by hand anyway but even if it weren't I'd need to get a service for when I'm away in the winter.

Maybe the norm is wrong and a company should cover those things. (And the kennel seems to be more directly connected to travel than my other examples.) But it's not really surprising that most don't.

Official announcement - https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/announcing-the-epic-...

"Developers receive 88% of revenue. There are no tiers or thresholds. Epic takes 12%. And if you’re using Unreal Engine, Epic will cover the 5% engine royalty for sales on the Epic Games store, out of Epic’s 12%."

"From Epic’s 12% store fee, we’ll have a profitable business we’ll grow and reinvest in for years to come!"

This is great news for indies who Steam seems to be ignoring[1] lately in favor of AAA. Maybe that will eventually put enough pressure on them to at least reduce their cut. There's been increasing concern over whether it's worth it for indies given the lack of visibility. If you have to push an audience there anyway, is it worth the 30%? Jason Rohrer[2] and Positech Games[3] for example have been successful outside of Steam keeping a much larger piece of the pie.

I worry that my 2 year old daughter will develop these addictions.
My hope is that in modeling good behavior (kids are always watching! They learn more watching our behavior than we can ever try to teach them!) she will not.

Now my fear is just that my behavior is not good enough.
I personally don't know much about VS Code. All my keys for openings/searching of files are very centered around emacs.

In short:
macros: I can turn a column of text values into a single line of a json array with a few strokes. Also more complicated formatting that has some pattern like:

var some-column = 1;
var some-columntwo = 2;

Into formatted SQL queries or inserts, or more json with little effort. Not an issue with 2 columns, but with a hundred....

Interaction with the shell: I can do the above with curl or reading from a file so I don't have to leave the editor and download and open the file separately.

Helm: https://tuhdo.github.io/helm-intro.html Fuzzy searching of anything: emacs help files, man pages, your code, your code function/class/variable names.

Magit: I generally hate git interfaces but this one is pretty good and allows commit, merge, rebase, and interactive adding seemlessly.

org-mode/org-babel: Note keeping to automatically create tickets in my help files and keep my place where I am. Execute code inline as a test.
I live in Hell's Kitchen but I had a reverse commute to Sunset Park for 2 years, ending earlier this year.

My commute time ranged anywhere from 50 minutes to 2 and a half hours, each way, every day...more often towards the latter end of that spectrum. The situation of riding the yellow line to/from Brooklyn is atrocious and not something that I plan to subject myself to again.
Am I misunderstanding, are are you actually positing that nearly any American woman would think $350 is a rational price point for a bra?

Because that would be one of the best examples of the risk of wealth imbalance in our country that I've yet seen.

That's an interesting thought, but I wonder if it's a different context. Today, you can go to many physical stores to purchase console games, you don't HAVE to use the PS4/Xbox digital stores only. You can even purchase the digital codes from many stores to redeem. I don't know much about the Apple case, but I assume that's maybe different because you HAVE to use Apple's iOS store. There isn't alternatives like physical stores to buy your apps to load them onto your phone.

In term of "spending" my answer is ZERO, simply because I do not spent time, I discover things casually or when I feel the need of something and it's nearly always there, ready to go in my config (org-mode based) with a quick cut&paste.

Sometime yes, I found a thing that require more investigation or something happen and need action but with modern Emacs is far simpler than undebuggable monsters like Eclipse or Netbeans dotdirs.

BTW there is no difference in terms: plugins, extensions etc; core Emacs is an elisp virtual machine and anything are simply sexps, from my own config to the most famous major mode like org.

About modern IDE: in Emacs I do anything from mail (notmuch-emacs) to personal finance (ledger) to slides (org-mode with skeletor/yasnippet and reveal.js/beamer) to other documents, to deploy documents, live in org via babel, to window manager (EXWM) etc. No IDE or other app exists that can do anything with the level of simplicity, effectiveness and integration of Emacs. Even in terms of mere editing modern IDE are not integrate with anything but barely themselves so you need tons of different apps to do a single thing, in Emacs everything is there.

In terms of time: I was a hardcore vimmer for decades, at a certain point in time I feel the need of something different and I decide to try Emacs. Initially as an editor, after as MUA, after as agenda, after as a file manager, after as a ... discovering new things regularly and ease my life like never before.

Exactly. And only because most web developers are doing their job and work around all those annoying little bugs in Safari /that never seem to get fixed), the average Safari user thinks it is an entirely usable browser.
What I find odd about this is having to push the output rod and check where it ends up.

I'm not sure how this would work in a clocked/latched system, or whether that's even possible? Does it need a reset at the end of a cycle, or can it only live in a async clockless circuit?

[edit] OK I searched and found that the Zuse Z1 used this system too! And had a clocking system. This page describes the same problem and has details of alternative designs :

Mozilla's “Privacy Not Included” Missed Out Firefox [2014]
It sounds like they found a lot of variation but not that the differences are biased in any particular direction? Could this be random?

The use of "filter bubble" doesn't seem justified if it looks like random variation.
I like Firefox but I don't use it as my main browser anymore as it just feels too out of place. I use macOS and it doesn't zoom with pinch to zoom, it doesn't scroll like everything else on the system, etc.

I know these are pretty small things in the grand scheme of things but they make it feel awkward to me. Chrome isn't perfect but it feels a lot more 'at home' on macOS than Firefox does.

I run into the same thing somewhat frequently. it's the only real issue that I have with firefox. it's definitely not related to the profile, and it only seems to happen with fast enough input+enter.

it's really jarring to be sent to a random domain when looking up something in a hurry.
Depends on where the home office is and what you do. It’s not hard to break 1,000$ a month including a modest space inside an apartment in an expensive city. People that are 100% remote often live in cheap areas, but that’s not always the case.
It feels like trademark law has been twisted toward requiring misrepresentation rather than preventing it.

There are technical differences, as well. Most of the time one will never tell the difference (hence "Unix-LIKE": you'll likely never know). But BSD is not Linux, and vice-versa. For a really poor analogy, kind of like the electric version of an ICE automobile. Looks a lot like the ICE version (well, the grill is kind of funny), operates mostly the same, but under the hood it's different.

Because you only really need one if your size doesn't fluctuate. Most women I know have like 5, and none of them fit properly and are a constant annoyance, and they mostly wear one of them anyway. If that one really fits? Gamechanger for many.

You can wear it 2-3 years and then the elastics start to wear out. (Wash the thing by hand, and it'll be dry the next day. As any woman can tell you, we do that less often than we should though.)

Compare it to glasses, or maybe shoes - people easily put down that much, even though they could buy cheaper.

I use this extension on both Firefox and Chrome. I sometimes disable it on some sites just because I'm too used to their original design like Google, but it works nicely on a number of sites. We needed something to override the color scheme of an internal instance of Confluence / BitBucket and I found this plugin and it worked out well, at least 2 other team members use it after I suggested it.
Age Prediction Photo App Using Deep Learning
Thank you, really interesting reading!

It would be interesting to see how this rule ("x = (y + c1) + c2 => x = y + (с1 + с2)") was encoded in the compiler. I guess it has more complicated form than a (simple and declarative) term rewriting rule, which you may use on AST transform stage.

There is a quote from Muchnik's textbook: "Like constant folding, algebraic simplifications and reassociation are best structured in a compiler as a subroutine that can be called from any other phase that can make use of it".

But it seems that in some cases, on the later phases with lower IRs, you just can't use this "subroutine" as is.
You'd wish you could choose a design by how much you like it, but that's not how that works. You basically try one every single thing in the shop and then buy the 1 or 2 that fit, no matter the price (if you can).
Would you mind comparing TiDB to other HTAP databases like SAP HANA, MemSQL, HyPer? I'm more interested in the architecture, trade-offs, best/worst use cases. How would you compare the analytical bit with regard to analytical databases like ClickHouse, SQL Server tabular model, MapD?
Now we need to make it compile with gcc (or clang) and run on a Unix-like OS.
This is an understandable counter point. I don’t really agree but I appreciate it.

It's a document repository for caching HTML content offline, managing PDFs, annotating and creating flashcards on the documents you're managing.

We looked at adding dark mode but it didn't work exactly like I would have hoped so I'm going to take a look at this extension and see if they used any tricks I didn't think of.
It feels like Emacs Developers are actively tries to shoo away modernization and people who do not want to put in hours trying to actively learn just Emacs.

At one point I tried using Emacs for everything but it didn't work out for me. Now I still use it but only for tasks management and coding.

Unless you want to spend hours of your time customizing it and then a lot of other person also does the same customization. This just ends up wasting a lot of time overall.

For me Emacs lacks the following and I think others will have the same feeling:

Obscure Terminology
Documentation is all geeky with terms like frames, META, kill ring etc. This creates unnecessary friction for a new user. Basics of ELISP can be learned rather quickly but trying to apply it while grokking the tersely written documentation is just discouraging.

Sensible Defaults
Simple things CTRL-C, CTRL-V does not work out of the box.

Mobile Interface
It is an error not to provide a facility to interface with mobile devices natively. I get full Emacs can be invoked via termux on any Android device. However, it is just unusable and irritating. Orgazly and likes also not very useful.

It's very unlikely for the consoles to be opened up in a technical sense. At least on the Xbox, the store is not very pluggable, and allowing third parties to sign code just ain't going to happen.

I would expect relief here to be financial. No way is MS going to relinquish platform control.

One of the things Steam's 30% cut subsidizes is the generation of unlimited free license keys for developers to do with what they please. So, for instance, if I am an independent developer, I can sell my game on Steam. Say I sell 5,000 copies. I can then turn around and generate 25,000 keys gratis, and sell those on my website (paying maybe a 5-8% fee to my payment processor, but otherwise taking everything). Those keys activate on Steam, at which point my customers get the benefits of Steam and I pay nothing for the bandwidth or upkeep.

This also allows me to give keys to other vendors, like Humble or GreenManGaming, who do take a cut (in some cases close to Steam's 30%, in other cases closer to 10-12%). Those vendors may choose to discount my game beyond the discount I offer by giving up more of their margin to the consumer.

It is not uncommon to see games on Steam where the origin of user reviews is 50% Steam purchases, 50% off-site key activations, which implies that Steam's effective margin may be as low as 15%.

Now, I think most independent developers are willing to sell on any platform who will have them and for whom the marginal costs of submitting / uploading are lower than gross sales, so certainly I don't think Epic is making a bad move here and I suspect they'l get decent developer uptake, but I also think the sort of "topline sticker comparison" obscures some of what's going on.

To some extent there may be value in having this discussion a week from now when Epic has rolled out the store and we have a better idea of how other considerations stack up.
Well, in the past I have used Eclipse, Netbeans, SunStudio (essentially netbeans), IntelliJIdea, Oracle JDeveloper and others: all of them are enormously bugged, perhaps Netbans/Sunstudio was the least bugged. All of them suffer from an ever grown dotdirs that sooner or later brake and you need to restart from scratch...

In Emacs I have had brackeage, and an emacs bankruptcy. But in all case I have recovered anything when I have time simply investigating, when happen if I'm in hurry a quick revert and anything works again.
Thank you for the good perspective. Sorry if I seemed like I was raging.

My guess is somewhat aligned with yours albeit a bit more cynical -- I think they will try to exctract a stable advertisement revenue channel out of Tumblr but I don't think it will last.

And yeah, you are likely more right -- they mitigate the PR damage and try to prevent staff leaving in droves, plus maximizing shareholder value.
They're a menace to society given the un-insured nature of their services. A local journalist had some scooter doofus run into her vehicle badly enough to damage the ability to open the driver's side door, then he turned around and claimed she hit him. So she was facing having a record of striking a pedestrian on her driver's and insurance records and was only saved by footage from a surveillance camera. What a joy!

I moved from Knoxville to SF about half a year ago. Knoxville is definitely quirky in ways that I haven’t found in other cities, and I like the physical terrain (little rolling hills) better than Nashville. For some reason, I’m not a fan of flat cities.

Knoxville’s downtown area is very different (culturally and politically) than Knoxville’s suburban areas. I would never want to live somewhere like Farragut, but some of the older, more historic neighborhoods near downtown are becoming quite interesting. Still no tech, unfortunately, which is why I moved, but in terms of just generally nice places to live in the south, Knoxville and Asheville are probably my two favorite cities.

I a feature is broken in any major current browser, this renders the feature unusuable. I do a lot of SVG and boy you have to be extremely careful when using advanced (and some basic) features, because chances are that one major browser implements this feature buggy or not at all. And Safari/Webkit certainly has most issues with SVG support.

His and his spouse's fields are Finance and Medicine, respectively. I don't know about his specific workplace, but it can be tough to adjust to a conservative culture in medicine fields if you're not used to it. I am close with someone who has plenty of issues with the medical culture here, with other doctors at the hospital showing treatment bias against uninsured patients and those who are drug or alcohol users. It's like they forget that addiction is a disease. If you use marijuana, you will be treated like an addict regardless of your actual pattern of usage. It will be noted as a problem on your chart and you will be asked to stop using it. This is a recurring pattern with patients in a very legal state. It also takes longer to get social services to help uninsured/poor patients hooked up with the right programs compared to how it was in MA. State politics still has an impact on the city, and in fields like medicine, a lot of your day-to-day processes and rules are forced upon you by state legislatures and boards. The cities are not islands in the middle of the ocean. This is the kind of abrasive right-wing culture that's hard to operate in when you take the Hippocratic Oath seriously.

That experience at the Nashville AirBnB was something that felt straight out of a thriller flick, but I totally do agree that it was a one-off experience slash fun story to tell now. First thing I heard after waking up was this preacher dude talking about people being condemned to eternal fire and whatnot, and it kept going for a while. We had several gay people and almost all atheists in the house so it's a bit scary thinking about what these others would do to you if they found out who you are. It's disturbing that this is what people indoctrinate themselves with. It's a one-off/anecdotal experience though.
Just yesterday I read a rant by an indie-game dev on Twitter, he complained that Steam would flush out good indie games by catering more to AAA studios and simultaneously watering down everything else with Steam direct.

Don't know if this is right and I don't know if the Epic Games Store has a solution to this problem, but more competition in the space is probably a good thing.
