I use this for a lot of sites with search inputs. I often do searches using ddg of sites I visit with forums or other buried content. Any search that has a URL that you can input a set of terms into can be used. Just use %s in the location for where the terms are in the URL.

Example using DDG to search CarForum.com:https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3CarForum.com+%s&t=ffab&ia=we...

This does the query "site:CarForum.com %s" on DDG.

Back when I was in school in the early naughties, it was a given that, if you were a humanities student, your tuition largely subsidized the STEM students, because your degree required virtually no specialized equipment, just a building, a professor, and some administrative overhead.

STEM students required all sorts of wild equipment, some so specialized and sensitive that the buildings had to have extra protections built in so they weren't bothered by vibration or electromagnetic interference from nearby lightrail trains. Their tuition wouldn't cover that.

Of course, the school also splurged on pointless real estate expansions, a relatively empty, but massive, student "union" building, intense administrative overhead, sports stadiums paid for by adding on hundreds to student fees (which of course weren't part of tuition, but you had to pay them anyway), and so forth.

If you're a humanities student, you get the short end of the stick from many different directions- paying more than your education costs to support others, for a degree that will earn substantially less than others, which likely has fewer industries that specifically require your degree (putting you in more competition for said jobs against students with other similar degrees).
That's naive to think it would change anything. The investors certainly don't want to know and the police don't care. At least in USA
There are actually several protocol updates in the works (and some fundamental work like pubsub has been finished) to enable torrents that can be upgraded, it doesn't require a radical paradigm-shift at all.

A protocol that does what torrent does but better would be dat://, IPFS is terrible at being BitTorrent but better.

> Next I moved to Firefox, which in an update a few months ago changed the autoplay option to be on, removed the config attribute and made it a new one, which has as options 0, 1 and 2. Turned out autoplay default should be 1.

I don't understand what you mean here. Without having changed any of the settings from the default, Firefox (Nightly) pops up to ask me if I want to "allow auto-playing media with sound" the first time each website tries to do it. If I say no, the media doesn't auto-play.

Yeah, that was one place I looked. But the only credible linked calculation had it at 0.2, not 6.

The others seem to conflate energy with electricity consumption (it doesn't at all surprise me that the process uses a lot of energy, just the supposed electrical consumption).

Further, the back of the napkin just doesn't work out. The US refines 18.5 million barrels a day (for 2012 from WP), or 283 billion gallons a year. This implies 1698 billion kWh of consumption out of 4015 billion kWh total electrical production, or more than the total which is used by industry (one third).

You seemed to know what you were talking about which is why I asked for a source... I have a very hard time believing it's even within an order of magnitude of the correct figure.
> The other 50% -- AFAIK there is a significant portion of students on fellowships/scholarships of some kind. My guess is very few people are taking on a bunch of debt for a Divinity PhD.

It's interesting that so many replies function on these kind of assumptions when I am telling HN my literal experience at an Ivy League postgraduate program. I received two of the available three fellowships one could compete for. They covered less than 5% of tuition overall. Six figures of debt was the norm for my program.

Now of course, as you said, no one is forced to get a degree in humanities or what have you, but my point is that if you make expertise in these fields contingent on massive, insurmountable debt, you impoverish the culture.

I see this often with someone who has made it into a senior role and then is attempting to ensure job security through complexity. Reflecting this on to junior developers further reinforces that said developer has adopted (usually subconsciously) a fear-driven approach.

Well, Firefox killed the RSS button on the URL bar a while ago now (bring it back with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/awesome-rss/), so AFAIK there has been absolutely nothing to indicate the feature even existed for years now.

Also, 0.01% of a big number is still a big number, and given the state of the feature, that number is likely to include a lot of long-time users.

Prehistoric Viruses and the Function of the Brain
https://scootertalk.org/
Just ordered an Apple cable a couple months ago directly from Apple through their Apple Store app, and about $1K USD of Ring security gear off their web site for exactly this fraud reason. If I know I want to purchase a name brand object, I now shop at the manufacturer's site first; if I don't need the Prime delivery aspects, and there is no significant difference in pricing, then the manufacturer site gets my consumer information.

And I haven't even been bitten by the Amazon commingling fraud yet, just bitten by egregiously craptastic products bought off of Amazon. I can't trust the reviews without carefully parsing them to figure out which ones are likely factory-generated. I can't trust the pricing without looking through various historical price add-ons. At that point, the cognitive load between using Amazon and choosing alternative channels is pretty meh, and I'd rather just go "straight to the source", ordering direct from the manufacturer and finding the manufacturer by looking up forum discussions.

For renewing household goods, I'm finding myself shopping at my local grocery chain, Target and WalMart a lot more these days. Once Amazon pricing for the same household item shows it is more than these other sources (and often by a surprisingly large delta), Amazon doesn't get a crack at that spend for another year, as it isn't worth the cognitive bandwidth to comparison shop each time I go to the grocery store, or if Target/WalMart deliver the best price, they get the subscription for the year. I use a credit card number generator for subscriptions, so we have to renew the configuration each year.

Amazon is losing its convenience value proposition, and I find taking their eye off of that ball very odd for a B2C context, but what do I know.

Ah wow, I had always wondered what magic was behind this feature! Had no idea there was a spec about it, that makes tons of sense.
It's super performant for me these days.
Likewise. Not aware of any weird issues with performance in relation to Firefox. I use it exclusively. I'm on the beta channel. I can't remember the last time I had a browser crash. I generally restart it to apply new updates every few days or so.

If you have performance issues; you might want to check whether you need to blame the browser or some of your extensions.
Yeah I understand. However, design and art are inter-related. My point is in my humble opinion, design and function is very easy and does not require much talent, while art such as the Mona Lisa requires a lot of talent.

The post resonated with me because of a stupid bug I hit in a ca 2011 SSD. (Samsung?) After 100 power-on cycles, the drive would brick itself. Required a firmware update in time to avoid.

That defect doesn't strike me as being inherently related to SSD media, but really left a bad taste in my mouth with what might be going on in the development process to lead to such instability.

CSS: 10 years of FlexBox'ing
I've noticed that too -- it's kind of a weird full circle. I used to stand in a brick and mortar store and pull up my phone to checkout amazon reviews before purchasing. Now, I feel higher levels of trust in the supply chain of most Brick and Mortar stores.

I've got no clue who to trust in the review space. I tend to trust comments I find in niche subreddits more than I should. They're probably 50% astroturfed or driven by poor incentives, but overall it tends to push towards higher end established brands rather than cheap knockoff garbage. At least going towards the former isn't an electrocution risk, I guess..
There are two aspects, the tools and the knowledge. What people recommend above will just teach UI (How to build), but not UX (why to build it this way and how to approach the problem).

For the tools, it's like in software engineering, you need pick the your "stack" (which wil depends on the goals and deliverable). Do NOT use Paint / Photoshop to build mockups, you will waste your time and hate your job. Get a Sketch License, find a good tutorial online (Udemy and co).

To master the field, study the fundamentals: cognitive sciences, human factors, cognitive ergonomics and design patterns, the goal is to understand how the brain works, perception, memory, decision making, limits...

Basic computer science is going to give an edge.

Basic knowledge in experiment design will be necessary to test your design with rigor (UX Researcher).

Job security does not seem like a reasonable explanation for programmer behavior in this day and age.
I don’t mind modifying the CMake files for my dependencies, or when I’m using Bazel, writing the Bazel build files from scratch. I understand that not everyone feels this way, and it depends on how much labor you can spare for wrangling builds, but I still feel that this is less extreme / preferable to going header-only when header-only is not required for some other reason.

Yes, updating my Bazel build files for third-party dependencies creates extra toil when I upgrade versions. In my experience, this is a small amount of toil compared to the API changes a third-party will introduce (e.g. upgrading libfmt to 5.0 meant touching a hundred files), so I am willing to pay that price to get faster builds.

Or I’d put it this way:

- Most of my time is spent making changes, recompiling, and seeing the results. Small improvements here have a large positive impact on productivity, and header-only libraries make this worse.

- A small amount of my time is spent managing the build system and writing build scripts. Tasks like writing my own Bazel build script for a third-party dependency are not done often, maybe only when porting to a new platform or updating to a new version, so even though I spend extra time here, it is not burdensome.
It's much less smooth than Safari is, at least. Interestingly, both Chrome and Firefox seem pretty similar to me.

Yeah, especially because tax avoidance is an insanely difficult problem to fight once it gets big enough. I mean it's impossible to prosecute at once even 10% of the country for not paying taxes.

Imagine the US going through a Greece episode, which was caused in big part by tax avoidance. To this day it's perfectly fine in Greece to ask for a ~20% "cash discount" in almost any shop, which of course means simply not paying the VAT tax (similar to the US sales tax).

Edit: let me self-correct - this does not seem to be an actual problem in the US - with this plot:

You make all these sweeping claims, yet in Norway 37% of the population works in the public sector (compare with around 50% in Belarus and China), taxes are very high, and inequality is very low according to most measures.

Another point a Trotskyst might make is that Communism can only succeed if adopted all over the world. I don't think that a country like Cuba makes for a good data point on anything except embargoes.

I would take the refund too, but some other avenue than Paypal. For all the buyer knows, the seller could have been using a stolen Paypal account that would have been charged back via a dispute by the victim, and the buyer would be SOL. The seller could also refund the buyer and still open a dispute with Paypal to claim a chargeback. It's suspicious the seller strongly wants to avoid using Amazon for refunds.

I'm not a crypto-fanatic, but I would have pushed the seller to send money to a crypto wallet address, and then I would have immediately withdrawn it to a bank account. Then still posted the bad review of the seller anyways.
It has diminishing returns, but right now the budget is still on the steep part of the graph so funding it makes a lot of sense unless you're a tax cheat.

In my experience X11 has zero shortcomings compared to Wayland. The code might be ancient and arcane at some points but the performance and features (hello "ssh -X") are actually far superior.

This is a great comment, and very succinctly put.

Somewhat incidentally, but I believe this is a large part of why, to me, software development is not an engineering discipline. At the end of the day, engineers (I think; not actually being one myself) have to answer to physics. The 'possible model space' is relatively constrained, and everyone is working under, roughly, the same set of assumptions, rules, and standards. This kind of constraint allows for higher degrees of rigor, because there often is a 'right way' to do things, or an empirical set of tests to verify the quality of an idea.

Software is, on the other hand, only slightly more constrained than mathematics in its most basic form. We can introduce artificial constraint by monopolizing a domain with certain ideas that have proven robust and reliable (in the same way that we've decided that, in general, you turn a screw clockwise to tighten it), which in turn allows for the introduction of some engineering-style rigor and standards, but there's nothing really stopping you from stepping back and saying, "well I want to do it this way instead", in the way that an Engineer is prevented, by physics, from saying, "well, I think we should just alter the density of air so that we don't need to worry about lift for these airplanes we're building; they'll just be buoyant!". By and large, you can do that kind of thing in code; you're building the world within which you're going to solve the problem, and you can arrange that world as you see fit (by and large) to make certain aspects of the problem easier (often at the cost of making others harder), in the same way a mathematician does.

And if you've got one kind of world you really like, because it works well with how problems decompose in your head, it can, to the parent's point, be really difficult to understand why another representation might be just as useful to someone else's particular brain arrangement.

Not trying to make value judgement here, though I do envy and admire engineering rigor. Just a (likely naive) take on a fundamental difference.
Erlang truly is something. It's amazing how much effort is expended trying to achieve even a semblance of its functionality in other languages/ecosystems.

The environment variable only works with apps using GtkFileChooserNative, a GTK3-only API that landed in GTK 3.20. (In Firefox, my patch will fall back if you have an older version of GTK3.)
