It’s worth noting that if you got that information by virtue of working for a company that did such research, and that company had a policy preventing you from sharing that information, then you could be found guilty of insider trading, under the misappropriation theory.

In the search settings you can setup shortcuts, like 'y' for youtube.

Then you can just type 'y rick roll' to make a search.

Alternatively, set your default browser to duckduckgo.org and use it's bangs, no need to manually add shortcuts!

The previous example would then be '!y rick roll'.

How to Be More Creative
While I don't engage much on social media, I've found it better to randomly click an ad. I'm ruining their profile one click at a time.

The ads I see across platforms and websites are so hilariously dumb and irrelevant now. You are going to be tracked, might as well ruin the analytics.
Seattle is pretty open to backyard dwellings at this point but you'll want to call the city. I'd recommend looking into other options though. These strike me as very pricey based on other options I've looked at.

The examples of what changed seem useful. Default save to UTF8, a "dirty" flag to indicate the file has changed and some new keyboard shortcuts are welcome changes. I don't see current line number in the status bar which I feel is sorely missing.

But other than that I really hope they don't change it too much more. I like the plain vanilla aspect of Notepad. If I need something fancier I have a lot of choices - the system I am using at work has GVim, MS Word, Wordpad and Notepad++ installed.

But if I just want to leave a note on my desktop, make a quick change to a simple text file or print some quick notes for a meeting or something I will always reach for Notepad first.

They "upgraded" calc in Windows 10 and I think it's kind of crap now. The interface is clunky and it's visibly slower than the old one. I hope they don't do the same to Notepad!
It's not even a very good selection, and hardly "curated". Modular homes generally come in modules. Tiny homes don't fit the bill for me at all, and their modular selection is but a few units from some random manufacturer. Seems like spam to me too.

Really good article!

I think the one point is really valuable. Decision making and who does it.

Practically every software engineer will debate SVN vs git; but when someone up the chain decides clear case, that's politics.

Also makes me think, "The Pheonix Project" book. The underlying thing they never really discuss was who made the decisions. I wonder if that's really the root cause.
Walking rather than sitting or even standing has helped me with my back problems after having had two surgeries for a herniated disc. The constant motion helps prevent me from developing problems that would always develop from those static positions.

Additionally I tend to pace when I think and this means I can stay at my desk while puzzling something out. The fact that I can burn a thousand calories on an extended day of focus is just icing on the cake.

I see my treadmill desk as something that helps me work, not a substitute for the gym. Maybe dial back the judgement and "harsh wording" in the future, or at least talk to people before developing and/or sharing such a strong negative opinion.

I didn't read that as she "voluntarily signaled to these platforms that she was pregnant". She made social media posts with many clear signals that she was pregnant.

She basically said, "I know your algorithms can detect that I was pregnant. Can't your algorithms detect that my baby is no longer alive?" That seems like a pretty fair statement.

Polls aren't always about matching reality. They're often used as ammunition in an argument - "Look, the majority supports my position!"

I never said they were cheap. I did, however, say they were Chinese, and while I can't seem to find any info online about where Monster manufactures its headphones, it's statistically probable that they're made in China (maybe not literal rebrands of existing Chinese-made headphones, though, so I'll concede that point).

Whether or not they're "crap" is subjective, but if Monster's cables are any indication, their price is likely not consistent with their quality.
Let me rephrase it. It is not scammy like GoDaddy, but it is scammy like when a newspaper publishes sponsored content.

It is not that important what happened behind the scene. In the end, I went to their site and I saw something that was not clearly marked as an ad. The listing looked almost exactly like their other listings. There, there was a button that said "buy", I clicked it and was unable to buy. It is the responsibility of NameCheap to make sure that their ads are not scammy. Just like if Facebook started showing porn ads, there would be blowback and people will stop using FAcebook.
Great use of angular 2+, I like it
She didn't voluntarily choose "Send me pregnancy related ads," the system inferred that from her history/context. She's asking why the system couldn't also infer that her pregnancy failed, after she made a considerable amount, if not more/stronger signals for the later.
Because with two people it's just the two of you together. There can be no subgroups. With three there is the possibility of two aligning against one. With more than three you can get even more subgroups and different alliances that can form.
Sounds like your small town is socially dysfunctional. If you think your neighbors are apathetic, why aren't you out doorknocking to get them to show up to these things, or bringing it up at the church potluck/what have you? I don't see how these things are different in cities except when people are wiling to do this civic engagement work.
As a counterpoint, I was a TVC in an engineering role at a large tech company. I had interviewed with the company for a full-time role, and was invited to TVC due to a companywide hiring freeze.

I negotiated my pay directly with the company. They basically told me "we can only hire TVCs now, and the vetting process for new vendors is exhausting. If you want to start right away, join this agency." The client was the agency's primary (or maybe only) customer. I was paid an hourly rate and expected to fill out a timesheet. If I wasn't working (e.g. if I was at the end of the client's max 1 year TVC policy), I wouldn't be paid. The agency took some commission on top of my hourly rate, but I never knew what it was.

The whole thing was a very thin veil to dissuade TVCs from going for back benefits like the famous Microsoft case. Both companies were upfront about that.
That's great. With a lightweight CLI you can run this in development and just use the CLI. Then add Grafana to your production environment.

If I wanted to win N dollars in a lawsuit I would start by asking for some multiple of N. I would probably get what I wanted if the defense convinces the judge or jury to reduce the damages or tries to negotiate a settlement.

Especially in the case of negotiating a settlement, if you start by asking for exactly what you want you'll get less than that.

Another +1 from Deep Work. The main takeaway for me was the following quote:

"We spend much of our day on autopilot, not giving much thought to what we are doing with our time.
This, is a problem. It's difficult to prevent the trivial from creeping into every corner of your schedule if you don't face without flinching your current balance between deep and shallow work"

I tried his pretty extreme recommendation to schedule every minute of every day (see chapter 'Rule #4' or 6:30:30 in the audiobook), my summary below:

-> I use a 4"x6" lined post-it note pad and block out 30 minute/block blocks throughout the day
-> Interruptions are scheduled for future blocks (although occasional mandatory interruptions
of course occur from time to time), and I edit the post-it note throughout the day
-> At the end of the week I do a post-mortem and review which tasks slipped to the next week and recap what happened

I've found a surprising amount of distractions lurking throughout my day that I've been able to eliminate. Scheduling your day is also really compatible with Agile development as you can easily answer why your JIRAs slipped into the next sprint, what your blockers were, etc.
As someone who has worked on geographically distributed remote teams, I can assure that politics can be just as ugly as in the physical office. In one place I'd say politics was even worse, everything in Slack was as performative as a Twitter exchange on a controversial topic.
An hour a day at the gym is no substitute for working on your posture throughout your waking hours. It'll help, sure, but it's not even 10% of your day, even less so of your week.

Exactly! Today we have room for everyone to have his or her own copy of every document he or she needs to access. Client/server has changed and now you can serve-up your own copies of stuff. RegEx, though hateful, is functional and it can be used to grab and quote or grab and manipulate any piece of an existing document. We don't need to invent those parts. :-)
Cos I addressed that one to the author, not the audience.

Forecasting isn't betting. One forecast doesn't tell you anything. If a weather forecast that says there's a one in five chance of rain and it rains, that's not wrong. They did tell you there's a chance.

To show whether a forecaster is good at what they do, you need to track their results for multiple forecasts and see what their track record is.

The ending of the Black Mirror episode doesn't take away from the "speech" that comes before that, though:

> You pull a face, and poke it towards the stage, and we lah-di-dah, we sing and dance and tumble around. And all you see up here, it's not people, you don't see people up here, it's all fodder. And the faker the fodder, the more you love it, because fake fodder's the only thing that works any more. It's all that we can stomach. [..] Fuck you all for thinking the one thing I came close to never meant anything. For oozing around it and crushing it into a bone, into a joke. One more ugly joke in a kingdom of millions.

In my mind, the last person to blame is the one who at least made an attempt to be more, who made no "mistake" other than being one human -- facing millions who just watch -- and being oozed around and crushed eventually. Selling out will never suck as much as people, who never even had what another person sold out, being smug about someone selling out. It's like they think it vindicates them for not even having tried.

(not that I read your comment as what I'm complaining about, it's a general observation. Freebird!)
Affordability is not the issue. Just because I can afford to pay all kinds of things does not make the justification for charging it. They're separate matters.
Wrong. Who's on which email thread, who's on the conference calls... those can be political choices, and they don't go away just because everyone's working from home. And from those choices flow who has more say in the direction of the company, who's "in" and who's "out", who gets promoted...

The only way to have a company with no politics is probably to have no humans.
But in this case they literally asked the public to get the info. It wasn't a secret, anyone has the ability to ask the public.
I agree, the license is a nonstarter. Might be okay for a personal project, but would avoid for anything else.
Bad Blood should be required reading for startup founders and those that work in startups generally. I had so many flashbacks to prior companies I worked for when reading about some the ethical issues that were raised in this book.

Their big mistake was trying to use the "move fast and break things" mentality in biotech. If Holmes had started an ad company instead, she'd be lauded for her entrepreneurial accomplishments instead of being under investigation by the Feds.
If you want active discussions, r/gainit or r/fitness isn’t too bad. As well as the weightlifting subreddits — really nice and supportive folks there.
Well, the relationship between three or more is really the complex of pairwise relationships and how they are aligned with and against. I.e. forming alliances to gang up on another part of the group.

If you have a complex of pairwise relationships with just two people, I think we tend to look at that as pathological or abusive...
I see this sentiment a lot, but I think it probably does make financial sense to show you ads for a thing you already bought. There are often a few whales out there who are buying one of a thing to sample and then might later buy hundreds or thousands.
For example: Pre-APFS, imagine running any software with a custom data store using file system holes. Definitely something you'd rather do in a FreeBSD VM than on OS X directly.

Is private sector waste a big thing?

I wonder if there's something simple we're missing for a way to stop public spending that goes to corruption/waste.
I am curious how much of this is a bioinformatics insight. If your dataset is looking under the lamp-post for coding sequences, then you'd be unlikely to pull out non-coding regions for analysis. However, if you're strictly empirical in your search for tumor-specific antigens, then such sequences shouldn't be too much of a surprise. Either way, it's a very curious fact of biology here.

On a separate note, the idea that unused viral sequences start showing up as neo-antigens is also interesting. Those old viruses in our genome likely have curious roles in other parts of our immune system such that a therapy targeting them specifically might have odd repercussions.

Regardless, having more cancer-specific (cancer-enriched?) identifiers is a good thing. And especially if used with synbio 'logic' like that found in bi-Specific CARs or SynNotch, these just add more circles to the Venn-diagram that is used to uniquely identify cancerous cells amongst our 'self'.
I've heard NASA does this too. Because headcount is effectively set in Congress, they rely on TVCs to do most of the work. Only a small share of NASA are "civil servants," who are actually employed by NASA.

Irish person here. It should be noted that the Irish have a completely different perspective on Cromwell. He is usually regarded here as a genocidal maniac because he wiped out between 15% - 80% of the Irish population [1], depending on the historian you believe. Not a nice man in any case, or someone to be admired.

One of the things I love about that book is how he attacks below their layer of abstraction. This is a pattern you see over and over again in real life, people build a secure system at one layer, but don't consider all of the implications of the layers below. Indeed there is so much complexity hidden in those abstractions that it takes experts years to learn enough about them to understand the attacks. The people who do work in those layers aren't interested in security, they're just trying to get the things to work in the first place.

Spectre/Meltdown are a good example of what happens when (after a couple of decades) the security guys finally understand what the architecture looks like at that level and start looking for vulnerabilities.

This is also why you should be wary of devices and especially device drivers. This is why binary blobs in drivers are such a butt clencher. And then you're talking about drivers that are stupendously large and are more or less attached directly to your web browser.
For starters, it affects how easily they could raise cash by borrowing money, during a time when they desperately needed capitol.

> I'm wondering whether a webapp environment such as Chrome OS would be that niche

My guess would be no. For a sort-of counter-example, Apple started migrating to a 64-bit environment for their smartphone and tablet systems already back in 2013, and I think 64-bit Android systems are also pretty common nowadays.

And, if they wanted X32 support, I think it would be more than a "couple of commits in their issue tracker"; AFAIU V8 has no X32 support, which would definitely be a non-trivial undertaking. Do you think they would commit to implementing and maintaining V8 X32 support, just to get a modest performance improvement in such a niche market? Also not to mention that for security reasons they might prefer 64-bit anyways (see ASLR).

My opinion is that 32-bit is rapidly dying for anything approaching "general purpose" (including things like smartphones etc.). For embedded system, sure, 32-bit systems are under no threat of extinction; heck neither are 8 or 16-bit microcontrollers under any particular threat. For an example, look at RISC-V; they haven't even bothered to bring up Linux support for the 32-bit variant, RV64GC is the baseline they are targeting. 32-bit RISC-V seems to be targeting microcontrollers or maybe some simple embedded OS's, but not Linux.
