I use DDG regularly. It's fine for casual "was that company's domain a .net or .com" kinds of searches, but it struggles for more specific or obscure content. My biggest problem with it is that the "advanced" operators are extremely buggy. Quotes and minus sometimes seem to be treated more as suggestions than requirements. Other times they return no results when omitting them returns results that should match. Sometimes a term with a minus is instead treated like there's no minus, i.e. ranking results with that word higher. This seems to have gotten worse over time. I don't have examples for this because the behavior is not consistent at all. The "inurl" and "intitle" operators exist but seem to only work for a single word/instance (e.g. "functional intitle:Haskell" works as expected but "functional intitle:Haskell intitle:reactive" returns a bunch of results without either of those words in the title).
Datatables actually has a plugin to also vertically space some content with a reveal button on smaller screens.

Modern frameworks make a bunch of datatables needless at this point, but I still often use it (with Vue) just because it's so complete with so many plugins.

I don't know if it would be good enough,and there's certainly not a big reason for you to try, given your solution works great; but you could probably modify ets to give you the slot number where it inserted/removed and use that as a non-exact indicator of where in the sequence it was. (Depending on how accurate you need it to be, this might work?)
"Provoke"? They seem unrelated.
Does anyone know what the reason might be?
> I hope to god Deliveroo takes some of Amazon's customer service tips/experience.

My experience of Amazon and Deliveroo's customer service has been pretty similar. I don't get to talk to a human, but if I do raise an issue (late delivery from Amazon, missing items from a Deliveroo order) I fairly quickly get a response apologising for it and giving me some free credit.

Interesting points about the way they handle restaurants though. I've noticed a few of the ones that you describe, that are not actually real restaurants. Since Deliveroo is useless at showing reviews and ratings, I'll usually search for places online before I order from there, if I haven't heard of them. A bunch of the takeaways on Deliveroo in my area all have the same address, an industrial estate - as you say, by a train track, probably in a metal shipping container.

I've not had bad expeirences with those "restaurants" to be fair, but it does highlight that Deliveroo is cheating the system and hiding how they actually do things. I hadn't considered the hygiene aspect, that is worrying that they can get away with selling food without the usually required safety/hygiene levels.

It's interesting that Deliveroo has beaten Amazon at their own game in the UK. Amazon Restaurants was a thing for a while as their answer to Deliveroo, but it didn't take off. I think it still exists, but last time I checked there were about 5 restaurants available in my area, compared to 50+ on Deliveroo and Uber Eats. Deliveroo's tactics really don't feel that far removed from Amazon's though.
I have never used Gatsby, but another in the space is Hugo. If you want a blog then you can choose from one of the many different templates. In terms of PITA, this isn't far off from a self-hosted Wordpress option. Netlify even gives you the option to drag and drop your entire site rather than using a tool such as Git. Yes, Hugo and all these other tools can get to be a massive headache, but you can get a blog going really easy.

I agree, but my point is that today there are so many fields to be curious about that knowledge or not of vi is just one of them. There is no time to know about everything.

I didn't know that, though Bing is not in enough of a position of power to abuse it. If they suddenly take over the vast majority of search queries from Google, this might become relevant, but that seems unlikely. For now, I'm happy if some competition is reintroduced in the search engine 'market'.

Because as a delivery driver, you follow instructions

As an engineer, you are paid to think critically, using logic and math as needed.

You should be more talented at making decisions after school + experience than before. Which is why people would ask you for advice.

Is there anything surprising/wrong about this? I don't ask high school kids for investing advice.

The group’s total price, and hence per member price, would go up, at least for the following year. There is no scenario where people can use more healthcare and pay lease. The only solution is to spread it out over more people.

The only way to lower per member price is to have lower total costs, which means restricting your pool of members to healthier lives, which nicely coincide with cushy white collar jobs that can afford to offer benefits.

>I would appreciate if you could point out some specific examples

Well the first one that comes to mind was you seemed to do all sorts of mental gymnastics in response to my "man reading about global warming in Huffington Post" metaphor. I had thought that the meaning of that should be pretty blatantly clear and that the particular choices like "huffington post" or "global warming" should be pretty obviously irrelevant. Probably my own fault for assuming the meaning was clearer than it was. For comparison you could imagine if I responded to your "rose by any other name" by saying something like, "What are you talking about, don't you know that a 'rose' is a type of flower? Our conversation has nothing to do with flowers!"

> Ok, let's try this again then...

Let's talk practical matters. If you want to seriously survey what mankind collectively has figured out about "mechanisms, propagation, etc", "a massive increase in incorrect opinions", etc., how might you embark on that journey? What search terms do you plug in to Google Scholar? You could try meme-related search terms like "memes and ignorance" or "deceptive memes" etc., and (with the help of scihub) you might find some interesting material. But my point is that you ought to widen the net with searches related to "propaganda", "false beliefs", "misinformation", etc. For example, the latter leads to this article which might be of interest to you (I only skimmed the abstract so I'm not offering any guarantees), which does not contain the word "meme" anywhere in it: https://www.pnas.org/content/113/3/554

My sentiments here are similar to those of Oliver Braddick in the following editorial, but replace "illusion" with "meme", "perception" with "belief": https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/03010066187746...
startpage always pays google for search results, which is way better than me paying google for search results. I've basically set startpage for all my browsers for years, and it's always been a good time.
Curious if they'd roll out their own distro.
Do you happen to be studying through the Open University? I had a very similar experience studying maths part time. My first couple of years were basically just doing the assignments a few days before they were due, and then cramming for the exam.

I did eventually manage to get into the habit of doing more consistent gradual work throughout the year, and that's the only advice I could give. The habit of devoting that hour or two per day became the norm and I no longer had to struggle to force myself to study (or fail to).
I just did a search for "switch reddit" and got at least 5 different subreddits. Maybe I misunderstood what you meant?

Also, while it makes you dependent on the reddit search, there's the "!r" search shortcut.
DDG also ignores half the query, so that's a weird thing to say. At least Google has verbatim mode.

This hasn’t been my experience. Any problems with an order, they refund immediately no questions asked and add an extra £5 as an apology. Over the years, this has been consistent.

I think there are three reasons it makes sense:

1. The company enabled several different organizations to spy on dissidents (it’s easier to sue one than many)

2. The company advertises its services to be used as such, and

3. It’s easier to sue a company than a country, and much easier to sue a company in Israel than to sue the UAE in a UAE court

You're thinking of "somewhat homomorphic encryption", which is homomorphic encryption that can support both addition/OR and multiplication/AND, but only in circuits of a limited depth. The original FHE paper did indeed prove that you can rework any "somewhat homomorphic" system into a fully homomorphic one.

Partially homomorphic encryption is different because it really only enables one of those two types of operations. For example, Pallier encryption has the property that Enc(A) + Enc(B) = Enc(A+B), but there's no way to go from Enc(A) and Enc(B) to Enc(A×B).

My biggest beef with ddg is that they do not localize my searches. If I search for "Ferry Schedule" for example, I want the nearest Ferry, not San Francisco. My tech related searches are probably fine on DDG, but my personal life searches (movies, transit, theatre, music, events.....) should all use the best available location information.
I think it seems strange where we imagine that tools are neutral. But they aren't, necessarily, and especially if the organization/developers knew they were building something to be used unlawfully, it's reasonable to hold them accountable.

Taxi rides are generally neutral, too, but if someone hops into your taxi, asks you to drive to the bank and wait, and tells you outright that they're going to rob the place, that makes you a getaway driver with a taxi, not a taxi driver who happens to have a guilty client.
DDG skews very heavily towards your country setting indeed, and the default is indeed the USA, but Google is even worse. On DDG the locale selector is a switch displayed on every search results page. For Google, you have to use a VPN for the same effect.

I'm a Dutchman living in Germany speaking English at home and at work, so I switch between languages quite a lot: Dutch when I want to know local things (e.g. European laws, or recipes with ingredients that stores here actually carry), German when I need to know something like filing taxes or when trash is being picked up (I don't speak German yet, so I only do this when necessary), and English for everything else. Trying to do that on Google is nearly impossible. It somewhat picks up on the language of your query (certainly better than DDG picks up on that), but for English queries I'll still get a few German results, even after I click the "Change to English?" prompt (and I have to click every time, since I do not store cookies for Google). Like, thanks for this German forum thread when looking for an error message after I already set it to English... In DDG you can just flip a switch.

I think "don't take other's advice" is just good advice in general, or at the very least "be skeptical of other's advice". I work in academic science where a lot of people of varying career stages are squished together in close proximity, and I encounter many situations where inexperienced and not that successful people are way too willing to shower even less experienced people with advice on how to live/do things. This seems to be the most common with graduate students talking to slightly newer graduate students. It's self-affirming for most people to give instructions and feel like they are being listened to, and I too often see this impulse outweighing the idea of the advice actually being useful.

For me personally, two things that determine if somebody is in a position to give me advice are:

1)Are they enjoying a level of success that I would like to achieve?
2)Is the environment in which they achieved success comparable to my own?

Proven Ways to Finish Your Side Project
Let's hope they don't get to ice IX.
I used to support our office in S. Korea.

It's true they depend super heavily on ActiveX and other weird applets/software that runs only on Windows and/or IE.

A lot of the communication with the government (yearly tax submission) as well as banking software would not run on our Linux or OSX devices, and so we had these 'loaner' windows 'tax machines' that got reimaged every few days that people could use to do their business.

They also have their own Office-like suite by Hancon[1], that is a pain to support and only runs on Windows. There were attempts to have gDrive to be able to read the files but afaik that never worked out.

DDG's search results seem consistently terrible whenever I try to use it for an extended period of time. It's fine for really basic searches, but anything more specialized or niche is terrible (considering my interests, that's all of my searches). I mostly use Startpage nowadays instead, which seems to give me good enough results most of the time.
They seem to even let you turn ads off in the settings.

I used to feel this too, but once I started getting back into the habit of stating the location I'm interested in in the search it became a non-issue

Yep, well thanks for that. But imaging having a job interview, you are forced to use an editor you never in your life used and that _doesn't behave as a normal editor_ and you can't even inser a line _normally_.
I know most people don't want government to be run with these 'back scratch' promises and corruption-

But those who advocate for more taxation, how do you stop this kind of corruption?
Yes good point! But it seems by luck/good piloting that it didn't kill anyone.
> Honest question, is it broadly representative for Americans

I don't think so, but what is unique about americans and the healthcare market is very unique sensitivity to quality and access: the idea that you could to a second rate doctor goes very contrary to american culture, but is common currency in socialized health systems, where you are numb to quality as everything has the same price.
The US has a private offering called HMO which basically covers everything, and it's had mixed results: even Michael Moore made a documentary where people said "HMO's are evil". Why? Because the idea that you have to be put on a waiting list or might be denied care you want on utilization is unthinkable for americans.

That is one cultural aspect, but there are many more that make America Health system unique.

> Government pays for all healthcare that's necessary to survive and thrive to a humanely minimum standard of care...

It's a solution. Maybe because of the above, no democrat has put it forward: it would be unpopular to tell people they will get free sub-standard, sub-access care.
This solution already exists: the VA is basically that. A very low quality service but highly effective.

I don't have much sympathy for H. insurance, but if the state wanted to abolish them, they should buy them, not outlaw them. This is so out of how America operates that I don't think it could go through the senate.

Personally, i think insurance is the last thing to look at in the space..

It's all relative. Plenty people come from Node, Ruby, and Python.

Coming from the Go! world, I view Elixir is trade of speed for OTP out the box niceness. But comparing Elixir to Node, then you're just gaining speed and stability.

And it keeps going -- I very frequently see Go criticized for slowness by C, C++, and Rust developers. It is all about the usecase, which is why I find this topic so interesting. It's one of the few situations Elixir mid-level speed is actually a real world problem.
That’s true. But it has nothing to do with the ACA as the parent post claims. Insurance companies have never been allowed to exclude people who are eligible under their group plan.
I am loving Netlify!

However:

> The site will have free TLS and IPv6

Unfortunately, the DNS provider (dns1) does not expose DNS over IPv6. Therefore your site is exposed over IPv6 by Netlify, but it will not be reachable by a (probably non-existant) IPv6-only client.

Try:

dig AAAA dns1.p04.nsone.net

> In our economic system, that's kind of how it works. It's a survival-of-the-fittest environment.

I doubt that the survival-of-the-fittest environment is a product of the economic system. It is the converse which is true. Our society which includes economic system is a product of survival-of-the-fittest because it is hardcoded in our DNA, in fact in the genetic material of every living thing.
