One feature that I like about DDG is their multiple site search (search string site:123.com,345.com).

Startpage or Google, last time I checked a long while back, don't have this feature. Since I use an index.html (as my local home page), I wanted to get something similar to Google's Custom Search (ability to only search a set of specific domains).

At the very top of my index.html, is DDG's search form with radio buttons beneath (for the multiple site searches) - it looks something like this (included a couple of sample radioButtons):

<form method="post" action="https://duckduckgo.com/">

This is an ad-hoc (poor mans') replacement for Google's CSE (https://cse.google.com/cse/). Useful for a good number of category types (news, social media, etc) and/or to reduce typing.

It can certainly be improved but it works for me (constantly editing the home page with a lightweight editor so I want to keep it simple).
People keep saying it happens, but I've never seen a Google query that didn't full-match a phrase in quotes.

Also, if you click Tools, you can change "All Results" to "Verbatim", and it will do what it says on the box. I tried leaving it on and got annoyed after five minutes.
On what basis are you suggesting the Atlantic article is made up?
A breadth-first search is a pretty basic algorithm, but even if you don't have it "memorized", the question is simply: here's a data structure, we need to traverse it in a certain order. Traversing data structures is so common that, even without a formal CS education, I'd expect an engineer with years of experience to have the strategies in a sort of unconscious memory, like a rock guitarist who plays the right chord progressions without knowing what they're called.

A candidate who freaks out upon being asked that question is not a candidate whom I'd trust to be a good problem solver. Solving a problem with simple constraints is something that happens all the time. If you don't know how to approach that, you could just "look it up", but how would you even know what to look up?
I hope this idea gets terminated with extreme prejudice.
Probably because interference (intentional or otherwise) at similar wavelengths could seriously skew the "random" numbers. This obviously isn't good.
A drunk, alcoholic US Navy surgeon gave my grandmother a radical hysterectomy instead of an appendectomy, involuntarily sterilizing her. She had my father first, at least.

It's also pertinent to recall that surgeons evolved with and into the medical field from surgeon-barbers... yes, the people who give shaves and cut hair also used to cut into people.
> It feels like when I search on Google, Google is telling me 'No no, you don't care about JsonAPI parsing performance, you care about parsing json, because we know best'.

I've experienced more of this lately, and see myself using the quotation mark syntax to a greater extent (quotations will tell Google to explicitly include a phrase in their search).

I don't know if at this point their are over-optimizing and now all the other data Google has about you matters more than what you type on the search box, but it's annoying sometimes. Or maybe they're giving your search a slight nudge to results where they could get a better profit? I wonder how they measure search effectivity, and what they are optimizing towards.
Do you have some examples? I’d be curious.
From what I can tell the general public thinks Bitcoin is internet money, a bubble, a Ponzi scheme, and something people buy drugs with, in that order of frequency. Outside of tech circles, I haven't met anyone who had the slightest clue about what's going on under the hood.

I used DDG for a while and I found amusingly I almost missed Google tracking me. I'd search for a restaurant to find opening times or address and the first result would be a restaurant of the same name but in a different city or different country. Google always seems to know where I am. I'm sure that's just some clever algorithms or balance of probabilities or something based on their profile of me. I don't like that idea but at the same time I can't say it's not useful.
I wrote a similar program 2+ years ago (it is very rough around the edges).

No. You can’t take the dictionary definition, ignore the important word, then claim two things are equal.

Salty water is not water strongly impregnated with salt.

To simplify, the difference between salty water and brine is that brine is very salty water. The concentration of salt completely changes the environmental impact. Dumping post-desalination brine back into the ocean is an environmental disaster.

My team shipped over the last 4 years, and our system has already done ~3300 transactions per second (tps) (average) in production on $99 worth of P2P hardware.

I’m not talking about a chargeback, I’m talking about blocking future charges for a service I’ve already tried to cancel, and run up against unreasonable resistance. There are no accusations of fraud involved. I agree that chargebacks should be used for fraud only, but if you inform a company that you’ve tried to cancel and are done with their service, that you will stop payments after a given date... the rest is very much their problem.

Let’s stop conflating this with chargebacks after using a service for the billed period ok?
Lack of interest in my Erector Set's going to average out those huge returns.
Brilliant stuff, going to be using this to get afew books
the elephant in the room is that we should not provide loans for all educations. the other consideration is the when the government provides the loans it should restrict how much each course credit should cost, how many credits are needed for the degree and which classes those credits can comprise of. This would also put limits onto the cost of required course materials, namely text books and the like.

many don't seem to take issue the government setting rates with hospitals and considering the costs involved it should do so with college level education.

many colleges would trip over themselves to offer degree programs fitting within the limits provided. Yes there will be moans and groans, end of the world declarations, but the free ride on the backs of students who have the federal loan programs to fall back onto needs to stop.
I think the Peter principle, the idea that people are promoted to until they are incompetent in their roles, comes into play.

What worked for you to get to the job isn't necessarily going to work for you to succeed in the job, I agree with others saying that it's not a time management issue, it's a change in perspective that's require, you no longer have the ability to do everything for everyone, you now have to lead people you can trust to fulfill those tasks better than you could, as your responsibilities grow, the rest of your team doesn't stay static, they also grow with you.
I took it upon myself to introduce Git to my colleagues: statisticians who've never used version control. I tried to preempt hard questions by going into a repo, wrecking it like a mad bull, and trying to undo the damage with Git. Turns out, it was a great way to learn for myself.

Exercises:

- Commit a "secret" and involve it in other branches, commits, merges, etc. Then remove the secret so that nobody can ever learn it from the repo.

- Clone a repo from another local repo and then rewrite history with rebase and revert. Then commit different work in each repo. What's the least painful way to get them "compatible" without losing any work?

I thought Lesson #8 is pretty critical to anyone who either wants to lead or ends up in a lead position. specifically:

> Some founders take pride in working long hours. That’s dumb. You should take pride in having huge leverage (which often requires long hours). When I would work 100 hour weeks, instead of feeling self-satisfied, I knew I either 1) wasn’t delegating enough or 2) didn’t have the right leaders around me to delegate to. By working longer hours you can get 20% or even 40% more done, but with effective delegation you can get 10x or 100x more done.

I remember talking to a coworker years ago, who was also a long time software developer. I asked him something along the lines of what his near term goals were. I was surprised by his answer because I thought his answer would be about learning some new tech, getting a part of his project done etc. His answer was along the lines of "I want learn to lead better and hire good people to work for me so that we can get 10x more done" ..that really changed the way I think about leadership and hiring.
Yep, the hidden fact of student loans is that the ones struggling to pay it off most often aren't the ones with $100k+ in student loans.

Those usually graduated from a mid to top tier school with a marketable degree, and won't have many issues paying the loans.

The ones struggling usually have lower amounts, and got leo-marketability degrees from for-profit or low-tier schools.

I often have a similar thought when reading negative things about "screen time". If I'm going to read a book, it's probably going to be on my computer. That's also where I'd listen to music or watch youtube, though. I'm not sure if it should all just be called screen time.

Is this really about privacy? I'm skeptical that Apple doesn't track the hell out of me; I think they just want to sell more phones and don't want others to track us.

Instead, I think this is about asymmetric, non-negotiable contracts. Think about it.

Sure, I "consented" to the Apple EULA just like I "consented" to be tracked by all these websites. This brings up 2 points:

Fairness - Can this really be a fair contract if there is a vast power difference between the parties and a lack of alternatives?

Transparency - details hidden in the fineprint (50 page EULA or on a cookie consent form only available a click away)

I'm not usually one for govt regulation, but that seems the only solution here.

Thought about this too a while back. If I remember correctly the "issue" (actually I consider it a feature) with most modern smartphones is that they will randomly change their MAC address in order to prevent exactly this kind of tracking.

Individual practitioners are usually aware of the dangers of sleep deprivation. The problem is they have very few options when it comes to controlling their own hours and most of those "top ranked" hospitals are often among the most notorious for having these toxic working conditions. Medical residents are also forced to go through these conditions almost as a form of hazing, justified only by attendings who "also had to go through it, so why shouldn't you?". The whole culture of medical training and hospital administration is corrupt and toxic.

For a part of the program that I'm familiar with, a rotating fellow will be expected to be the sole physician of that specialty on-call for the entire weekend for 3 hospitals in a large US city. Then, on Monday it's back to work again at 6 AM. If it's a busy weekend, good luck getting more than 1-3 hours of a sleep a night during that time.
No, I buy them refurbished. They strip the mattresses and boxsprings down to the wood and wire, disinfect them, then replace the fabric/padding/etc with new materials.

It's essentially no different than newly built. I've been buying these for decades and have never had an issue with bedbugs or any other nastiness.

They are less expensive, but not dramatically so. But I get a quality bed, don't have to deal with mattress shops, and get a little bit of feel-good from helping to employ people who otherwise have difficulty finding work.

And they deliver.
Bulk used Lego sells pretty consistently around $10/lb. Certainly less than retail, but never un-sellable. Of course, selling piece-by-piece on Bricklink will net more, for more work.

Especially when compared to pure "collectibles" that are past their peak, they're much more regular in value and always sell.

In the UK we have the 5% club [0], whose aim is to "to make at least 5% of its employees apprentices within a 5-year period". It does take commitment from the company, and it's perhaps not a surprise that its more common in companies that already invest in graduate recruitment. 280 companies have signed up so far.

(Disclaimer: I work for a company that has been in the 5% club since 2013)

I use and like DDG but I can't believe this article didn't mention Bing, which powers DDG's organic results. Like, yes DDG is a small company based "just east of nowhere" in PA because Microsoft has spent literally billions of dollars on Bing.

To the extent we have a choice in search provider at all, it's entirely due to Microsoft's huge investment, and I feel like it's remiss not to consider those implications. If Microsoft eventually throws in the towel and shuts off Bing, then DDG will cease to exist. It's not like this plucky little underdog of a company that people are rooting for has any chance on its own. The market dynamics of running a successful search crawler and engine are important to consider here and totally brushed under the table in this article.
CRA actually has almost nothing to do with React and a whole lot to do with other tools (Babel, ES6, Webpack, Jest). You don't need most of them to build a React application, it's mostly about developer experience and the surrounding ecosystem.

FWIW Angular does the same thing with Angular-CLI. The "problem" is the web dev ecosystem, not React itself.

What do other DNS services do? If they do the same thing, this behavior makes sense to me. But, if other services do fail these invald requests, then I really don't see how this helps anyone. If these "weird" broken clients can only talk to route53, it's difficult for me to believe that they are production clients and worth the effort of this workaround.
I've had a 100% success rate at getting an offer once I realized the problem was me. (And I've had some bad interviews in my life before I got there, for sure.)

If the company doesn't extend an offer, it's because I didn't show them the value I can deliver their organization. Either I didn't present myself as a teammate that makes the group stronger or I didn't present the technical skills to make them realize the talent I bring individually.

Maybe I'm lucky -- it's a low sample size.

But I suspect that we all can do better at interviewing and at selling ourselves. Traditionally, that's a weakness in engineers.

It's also why, when I'm interviewing, I try to remind applicants what I need: give me something, anything I can use to sell you to my manager -- to argue "yeah, this cool guy is the right business choice". Help me help you. If you can't, you won't get hired.

I like DBeaver. YMMV.
> Furthermore, no one can compete with Google on price, since it's free

Google is free because they are deriving revenue from ads. Another service monetizing with ads or by some other method not directly from users could share revenue with users, thus competing favorably on price with Google's free service.

I would argue Datagrip has yet to fail me while having a ton of support for many databases. Including support for MySQL 4.0.16. I had to use that DB for my previous job about a year ago. With datagrip I just needed to download an old jar file and I had a connection automatically.
Wow!! Such civilized culture :) In the US, unless otherwise negotiated, all employees are under the legal term "at will", which means firing/quitting can happen anytime and for any reason. Fortunately I have walked off the job on day one when I thought it was not as described :) But have also been fired plenty of times for assinine bullshit.

Maybe programmers in Cali are able to negotiate different contracts. But like 95% of non-state workers can be fired instantly I imagine in the US.

I get a link to DuckDuckGo on page 3, and a mention of it on page 8.

On page 2 there is a link to "Duck Duck Geese" which is a local restaurant apparently.

Google's official reason for forcing local search results was that 1 in 5 users were searching for local results. So in this case they are returning results that are sub-optimal to 4 out of 5 users.

The popularity of wanting to live in Toronto makes detached housing for everyone who wants it untenable. There just isn't enough space.

There is plenty of "space;" Toronto, like many municipalities, just makes increasing the housing supply illegal: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/9/24/17896482/b....
