Ugh, I had something similar happen to my gmail account. My name is apparently similar enough to some Swedish venture capitalist's that my email account got added to a startup incubator's spam list. That account now gets regular elevator pitches and invitations to investment raises, and even though I tell each individual spammer to take me off their list, it's obviously still on the master list somewhere because it keeps happening. Eventually I retired that account for other reasons but it's probably still getting spammed to this day.

This is exactly how I felt watching the video. It seems just like the same old 'wasn't everything better in the old days' nonsense. Not to mention the fact that in those days, a computer was something that you had in one room in your house, and wasn't often connected to other computers. Nowadays, computers are everywhere. I personally would argue that the rate of increase in safety in code hasn't kept pace with the rate of code being put in things, but that's a whole different kettle of fish.

Reducing all this complexity is partly why I'm hoping the Red Language project can succeed where Rebol failed.

Of course you can't do everything, but a good full-stack language could cover perhaps 80% of software needs using well written DSLs. The simple fact that we have so many languages targeting the same thing is a waste and duplicative effort (Java, C#, Kotlin, Scala, Clojure, F#...etc) for business apps and (Python, Matlab, Julia, R, and Fortran) for data science and scientific programming. Also systems languages like (C, C++, Ada, Rust).

On one side it is good to have purpose built languages, but on another it puts a big barrier to entry.

Note that I'm advocating for abstractions, but far fewer languages. Yes, abstractions add complexity, but actually make the code more readable. I shudder to think of humanity having to maintain and support ever increasing levels of software.
> I do not want to live in a cave

You don't have to though. I am pretty sure that most of the European population until at least the 17th century did not have glass windows, and neither did the far-eastern cultures, which used paper instead - yet at the same time they did not live in caves.

If the windows are fully opaque just open them when you want sunlight - having sunlight while it is cold, windy, and raining is not that common after all.

DOS was a configuration nightmare; you could run games that required up to about 600kb of memory, but only with a ludicrous amount of hacking that was harder to figure out in the pre-internet days.

The "rubber ducky" attack is, of course, also possible with PS/2, XT, and even ADB keyboards, because none of them were authenticated.
For me enabling cheap accelerometers so it's fairly trivial to give our machines sense of 'up' and movement is a sufficient enabled advancement for any hyped up technology.
> This is what allows you to order from a restaurant that is otherwise too far away from you. It's arguably of great benefit to those who do not live in that delivery area.

So? They still do it, this is shady business practices which is what the whole point of my post was about. They've started adding a badge "5 star restaurant affiliate" or something similar. They only did this after they were called out on it by the mainstream news.

> The metal shipping container has been outfitted to modern standards precisely for this purpose, as opposed to down some stairs in a windowless Victorian cellar, under a bridge, next to a traintrack, which many 'real' restaurant kitchens are like.

It still comes from somewhere which is not where i ordered it from. Agree with me or not, the food still comes from (literally) a metal shipping container which has not been certified to the British food health/safety regulations, and is rented out to different restaurants/people from one day to the next. Also that "windowless Victorian cellar" WOULD have been given a food hygiene rating, otherwise it wouldn't be able to operate. Whether or not that rating is good is not the point, the point is that a government official has gone in and rigorously tested it, it is subject to surprise visits, etc. You should be able to easily view this information as you already can online at https://ratings.food.gov.uk. Can you say the same about the shipping containers which don't have a postcode (so you can't check)?

> No they are not, the chefs are employed by the restaurant, and are making the same dishes to the same standards.

I didn't mean the food, i meant the containers. But if we are talking about the food, you can almost guarantee that "5 star restaurant" isn't going to be sending their best chefs away from the proper kitchen into a metal box. Again, this is shady as hell and deceptive.
I've been using it for a few months and I find myself using !g for like 4 out of 5 requests. Also image search is VERY slow, images load like in a slideshow. I'll end up going back to Google.

I like the idea of DDG and I have a strong dislike for Google but DDG is simply not there yet. Having said that it's better than it was five years ago, when it was simply insufferable. So, maybe in five years? ;)
I like DuckDuckGo if it wasn't for their data centers being in the U.S. My problem lies in the fact that they could have an intelligence agency like the NSA in their data centers and they could attribute specific queries to specific users by looking at the originating IP. I'm not even sure they have a canary[0] [1] implemented. This is why combining DDG with an anonymous mixer network like Tor is useful (or even a VPN). You're probably wondering why my threat model includes the likes of the NSA. Well I just don't want spying, simple as that.

Sure, Tor might seem like overkill, but over time all those single, isolated queries start to build an elaborate dossier on you and the contents of your mind.

Everything except operator overloading also applies to the JVM... But equally well to python. Basically, the complaint is you don't get any of the hardware fp stuff like traps and signals and all of the math is slightly unportable because it gives different answers on different machines, but these are well-known issues.

This is a nice write-up, and it's great that it includes instructions for things like creating a GitLab account, which may be unfamiliar for non-developers.

But if you're going to maintain a blog as a set of markdown files, it'a worth considering using Netlify CMS (a web-based CMS for managing markdown files in a git repo).

This is especially the case if you don't use a command line or git often, e.g. if you're not a developer or sysadmin.

Frosted glass, screens, and ability to open windows.
That is a nice tool you have built there. It is important to remember that people who will be looking at this screen every day are expert users, they will have dual screen desktops with a mouse, not be fumbling on a phone having not seen the interface before. You did well to make it so they can perfect the information they have on their screen and these efforts will be appreciated in day to day usage.

Also it is cool that you have stuck with the semantically correct element in a table.

What you can also do with CSS Grid is a table that does not have the extra markup for empty cells, i.e. a sparse table. With some autoflow for the columns and an element name or class setting a column number, you can make a table from other data such as a definition list with the 'display: contents' trick giving grid access to the content in a data definition elements. So you can fully model a contact card for someone using the same markup for pretty contact cards or in the 'table view'. You can also do all of the column reordering without changing the document, the rows or cards can always be written in the same logical order, regardless of whether the columns are rearranged or hidden.

There is actually a rendering slowdown with CSS Grid although I have only found this after nesting a few grids and having some transparency on each, going to an older layout technique fixed that. It would be interesting to know if there is a slowdown here, if hundreds of off screen rows are in the document.
We are all standing on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of some {mostly unidentified} people.
I think we may find such schemes happen as we miss our CO2 targets and may need to urgently limit global temperature rise. A controllable sun shade in space would be my preference over consigning regions of earth to heat dumping grounds. But such geohacks will not be able to target the ecological disruption of local heat pollution or make water resources abundant where they are scarce, they will just perhaps be able to ameliorate a global emergency.
If you want to go that way, C++ has shared_ptr and can also be a garbage collected language. It is kind of missing the point though.

Way better in search and privacy
Weird, I haven't found their image search slow. I just wish I could search by usage rights.

Also, I suggest using !s instead of !g so that you still get Google results without actually being redirected to Google.
Yes, this is a huge example of over-engineering.
Same. Its fine.
That’s odd, that’s not been my experience at all. I’ve been using DDG exclusively for probably 4 years now. I rarely use !g.
And this is actually more rule then exception - once you have more then 2 plugins, the chance of plugins colliding or not allowing updates of the main software in the future are more or less norm.

Plugin minimization is mandatory IMO.
Unlikely. The microcode changes are largely about disabling indirect branch prediction--virtual functions, jump tables, function returns. The branch prediction here is generally driven by simple branch history predictors (i.e., at a fundamental level, the branch predictor boils down to "guess what the last branch did"), which are way too useful to disable even to mitigate Spectre.
> You are asking if a creature who doesn’t exist is less happy than a creature who exists to suffer.

No, you are changing the question. I'm not asking "a creature that doesn't exist", I am asking you which is better: To never have lived, or to have lived in terror. I'm also not talking about happiness. Life isn't about happiness and life in nature isn't "happy" either.

Perhaps you can answer a different question: Would you rather die (i.e. not exist) than live such a "life of terror"? If you knew you were slaughtered at age thirty, would you kill yourself at any earlier age?

> We aren’t going to see a huge wild farm animal population come into existence if we stop breeding them - nature could never support their population.

Even so, nature's answer for population control is starvation and predation. Natural life is a constant struggle for survival. Life on a farm is not such a struggle.
You (Probably) Don’t Need For-Loops in Python

In what way is it better in privacy?
In my experience, I've been using it for a few years now and I've maybe used !g 4 or 5 times total in the past couple of years. I find the performance of image searches just fine myself. So it's always fascinating to see that people report such different experiences with DDG.

It's hard to know for sure what's happening though. Maybe my searches are just very simple and don't need anything complex? Maybe I'm luckier and always have fast internet connections? Maybe it's some other factor I'm not thinking of? Who knows without trying to come up with a more systematic way to compare things.
Does anyone know how to donate to DDG? It doesn't say on their site, but I want to contribute to their success.

The thing with Google is that, like it or not, their analytics and their knowledge of you as an individual helps produce better search results for you. Google will always be the better search engine.

The story, for the last 40 years, has always been more "We'll have fusion in 20 years if you fund us" and as far as I can tell might have been true since the funding asked for didn't arrive until ITER was finally funded and it hasn't used up its 20 years yet. The big difference is that advances in superconducting magnets that spun off from MRI research have reduced what "fully funded" can mean, meaning smaller players are getting involved.
Going one step further, I removed my websites from the Google index: https://lucb1e.com/?p=post&id=130

If you want to find my stuff, you now have to use DDG or some other search engine.

Find remote work. I've been working remotely for over a decade, because I felt an office confining and I missed being able to go outside.

With no commute, I also use that extra time to spend with my family.

I have my own office and many times work outside in the summer. I've even traveled to other states/countries and worked from there. You just need a good Internet connection.

It does take a lot of discipline. I basically have no manager now after proving that I can get my work done without being watched.

I've seen lots of remote developers come and go because they couldn't handle working remotely without someone sitting over their shoulder/telling them what to do.

This title is the platonic ideal of an HN post.
Exactly -- "The flying public loses one of its best protectors."

And the loss is the direct result of badly designed and badly implemented software automation.

Yet, software continues to eat everything, and large swaths of the industry praise a "move fast and break things" attitude about it. Even life-critical industries consider it OK to make airframe changes rendering a passenger aircraft unstable in parts of the performance envelope and patch it over with software supposedly compensating for those new flight characteristics, dependent on a single faulty sensor and no input sanity checking. After 346 people die in two incidents, they reconsider, only after forced by regulators.

This <it'll be OK, just patch it> attitude needs to be eradicated.

Yep, during peak hours you feared Aldi checkout back then.

When the queue was full the best cashiers would really stress you by observing you putting stuff onto the belt and already starting to enter prices ahead of them reaching their area (where now the scanner is). Half way through loading the stuff into the cart again the cashier would urge you to pay and the next customer's items started bumping into yours. It was very efficient and stressy, best you were two guys to share loading/unloading and paying (back then payment was only possible in cash).

The scanners eased that a bit :)
