Some recognition would have been nice instead of saying "we" quickly found out.
When we moved from Bangladesh to the US in the late 1980s, there were a couple of things that made us go “WTF?” One was the taste of chicken. In Bangladesh, you go buy a scrawny live chicken from the market and butcher it. It took me the better part of a year to be able to stomach American chicken, which tastes like wet cardboard in comparison. The other “WTF” thing was toilet paper. In Bangladesh, you rinse with water and soap after doing your business. The idea of just dry wiping was...

(To this day, whenever I go to Japan and sit on a bidet, I can’t help but think “ahh, civilization.”)
You can get VPS for much less, e.g. at vultr (https://www.vultr.com/?ref=7964877 << affiliate link). I have some VPS as well, but it would take me a bit longer to set up static hosting, deployed from Gitlab, with TLS and all. Also, like this, I don't have to worry about updates, security and the likes.

You may also bluff but you maybe called (just be aware of that). It's not unheard of to double your pay this way.
But did they make it for an unlawful purpose? Most countries have legal provisions to allow police or foreign intelligence to hack into phones. Could they have been selling these tools for those purposes and someone misused them?
vultr does not have VPS for <$1/month?
maybe they should use Kali?
The problem with falling back only 20% to 25% of the time is that you don't know what you've missed. By going to Google you already realize it is a better engine. What is the tangible gain of this self-sabotaging ?
Why would you need to sync stuff between your work machine and private machine? That's just dumb and irresponsible.

I have the same reaction as you, not to grid though, to flexbox!

Maybe you're overthinking grid and I'm overthinking flexbox? Cause grid is really simple to me: you define a grid and then you specify which area in the grid you want each child to span.

I love it.
That study was using assumptions based on a 1987 study which predicted that the fusion chain would result in 1 high energy and 2 low energy alpha particles. More recent results suggest that this is incorrect[1], with the reaction actually generating 2 high energy and 1 low energy alpha particles. This would push the CBFR method well within the realm of possibility.

For every vindicated hero, there are probably dozens of pilots who would no longer be alive without smarter systems.

Airline fatalities decreased 10-fold in the last 30 years, while total miles travelled increased by the same factor. Flying today is 100x safer now, and I don't quite understand peoples' fetish with human control.
> "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."

This is the exact explanation of why I moved away from Google.

My searching trends toward very specific terms. >2 years ago, Google started ignoring my boolean operands. It became increasingly difficult to craft a boolean search that Google would actually respect.

I finally bailed 6 months ago. By that time, using a minus sign often returned nothing but the results I was trying to avoid.

Of course companies patch open-source software for their own use. But they either don’t distribute it, or they do so under a different trademark.

Just to focus on your own examples:

- Github patches Linux for their own private use. They do not distribute any Linux derivatives, and they don’t profit from the Linux trademark.

- Android does distribute a Linux derivative, and it is heavily patched, but it is distributed and marketed under the trademark “Android”. Google does not profit from the Linux trademark.

And that’s the difference. People don’t buy Android phones because they’re running Linux. But they buy Suse and Red Hat distributions specifically to get Linux.

So Suse and Red Hat are the only businesses which I know of, that are allowed to fork upstream software, modify it aggressively, and still profit from the upstream trademark.
I'm the top contributor to both OpenAPI Generator and Swagger Codegen. Just want to share a bit more to ensure everyone is on the same page.

OpenAPI Generator is a fork of Swagger Codegen. The fork took place in May 2018 - a year ago. For the reasons behind the fork, please refer to the Q&A (https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/blob/maste...).

Fast forward to today, we just released OpenAPI Generator v4.0.0 - the 20th release since the fork, thanks to the awesome contributions from the vibrant developer community. Please refer to the release note (https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/releases/t...) for more information about the release.

For a list of companies and open-source projects using OpenAPI Generator in production, please refer to the project's README (https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/#4---compa...).

I hope you will find OpenAPI Generator useful in your work and personal projects.
China has this "original" OS called Redflag Linux, it's basically repackaged Linux to rake in government money, sells to military for some 500 usd per pc, the kickback must be big.
I hate having to use a prefix at all. I set up my own custom search in chrome that points to my app that does specialized searches based on the first letter and then defaults to a regular DDG query. For example, e foo searches ebay for foo, a foo searches amazon, m 123 main searches maps.
The thing is that `dig AAAA dns1.p04.nsone.net` does not resolve anything. A pure-ipv6 network would not be able to resolve my domain, as there is no way to contact dns1.p04.nsone.net via IPv6.

I would actually blame insurance companies more than pharmacutical companies for the trajectory of the mental health field as they won't give doctors money to treat their patients if they don't first slap their patients with a stigmatised label.

This pressure increases the pressure to make it so more of the population is defined as being mentally ill so they can get medical treatment.

Importantly, if you're a world traveler, is to know if the culture uses toilet paper at all, and if they do, is it safe to flush or do you put it in a nearby trash bin?

https://wheredoiputthepaper.com/

Memorable advice:

> Loving your work, not many people go to Myanmar (Burma), and if you happen to find a toilet (and these days they tend to be Western-style sitters rather than squatting over hole sorts), put the paper in the basket or bin provided. It's worth noting here, that if you're caught short on the road, it's best not to go too far off track to find a bush as there are an awful lot of landmines littered about.
I doubt this will work out. They also tried that in many countries, they all go back to using Windows. I hate Windows, but I can envision how much money AND time it's gonna cost them to move out, and I'm sure that they will either run out of money before they do the transition, or machines would have already dominated the earth before they are done with this "transition"l

I would believe it much more if they said that they will try to use more Linux, try to mix them up, or create APIs for everything etc. Nowadays it's so easy to create services and use LDAP or whatever thing you want with whatever programming language or service. You can host it on Linux and start changing some computers and systems to Linux.

But "switch from X to Y" seems a terrible idea. Even as a personal computer user, for me, it's impossible to "switch". Imagine for a government. It's a hilarious statement, one of those that politicians do say, but they have no fucking clue of what they are saying.
Oh, no. Don't get me wrong. I wasn't trying to say privacy is bad, I was trying to say Google has a clear advantage since it knows more about the user. Don't think it's worth to compromise your privacy though.

Another advantage of Google is having the vast resources they have but again, it works because they know who you are.

I also agree with what you said. People just need to be more specific with their search and yes, DDG is going better by the day.
It's just static pages. All the code is in your Gitlab/GitHub repo. I wouldn't call Netlify a walled garden, but the workflow definitely does not imply a situation where you'd lose your data in the unlikely event that Netlify goes down or closes shop.

I don't see any vendor lock in evident in any of this. Plenty of flexibility to both move your git code to your own self hosted git, and quite easy to host it on your own webserver on DO or wherever instead of Netlify.

> The reason Europe speaks Indo-European languages isn't that the ancient inhabitants thought that Proto-Indo-European was neat and adopted it --- it's that the PIE-speaking Yamnaya swept in from the caucuses and slaughtered mostly everyone (especially men) except the Basques. It's not pretty, but that's the way it was.

Incidentally, The Horse, The Wheel and Language (2010) https://erenow.com/ancient/the-horse-the-wheel-and-language/ is a freely available book that shows just how far a well-deployed combination of good-old philology/historical linguistics and archaeologocal evidence can go when it comes to reconstructing features of the genuine PIE Urheimat. But then, yup, they still try to advocate for an optimistic "PIE spread via cultural diffusion" story that doesn't jive at all with the more modern sources of evidence you mention in your comment. It does seem like our history, especially pre-Bronze Age, was marked by constant conflict which only decreased slowly over time, perhaps finally leading to the reasonably-stable "empires" we're somewhat familiar with from ancient history only as late as the Iron Age.
Ah, ok I get now.

Maybe Tchibo and German whole-foods chains will be more novel in the US (but I don't know really). Tchibo is originally a coffee company focussing on quality and price (with whole-beans-grinding at the store) but they've long expanded into selling all kinds of clothing and home/gardening stuff. They're fanatic, too - their slogan has been "every week a new world", and they'd decorate their small shops anew every week.
Anyone know why autopilot cutoff switches aren't a thing? I know these aircraft aren't designed for pure manual operation, but I don't understand why there is not a way to downgrade the level of computer control, turn off all but the most simple autopilot functions. Anyone here in the know on this?
Anecdotally I tried DuckDuckGo and found it really irritating. It is just a bad search engine and seems to not be very good at finding what you need unless what you need is something very common.

Surprisingly, Google seems to listen to what you actually type.

Not exactly. I suggest using Netlify CMS, which uses git under the hood, and means git is invisible to you.

One way to set something like this up is to use the gatsby template I linked, which can be used without knowing what React, GraphQL (or even Gatsby) are.
I started using it recently, but it doesn't feel as comfortable as google for me.

Sometime in the early or mid 90s I had a FreeBSD box on 2.something - installed because I disliked unreliable flaky Windows so much - that passed a year uptime. It was daily driver during that time, and often doing stuff while I was out at work or sleeping. It was cutting CDs, that had been simply bullet proof on Amiga, becoming so incredibly delicate and flaky on Windows that was one of the pushes to go BSD instead. I mostly kept on using the Amiga as most reliable option for that.

The early 90's Sun's and SGI's didn't crash much either - though in a dev shop, sure we could push them to panic from time to time. The bigger iron just ran indefinitely, often until OS upgrade. :)

Now obviously this talk is game related, but even my previous Amigas were more reliable for uptime if you stayed within Workbench - often passing into months - than DOS and Windows. The mostly undeserved reputation of Amiga for constant crashing was from games hitting the hardware direct and those guru messages instead of silent freeze or pretty random colours that other platforms gave.

All were online, though not much web yet - mainly ftp, newsgroups and dial up BBS's.
> What is the tangible gain of this self-sabotaging ?

Is it self sabotaging to not drive a Mercedes (or Audi or Tesla or what you think is best).

Or is it a choice you made to go down a notch in quality to gain something else?

Edit: besides I originally moved because I was really annoyed that Google couldn't respect my searches, so I didn't feel I lost much.

Sadly lately DDG has been copying Googles bad habit of fuzzing my searches to death.
You're talking about Raven's Progressive Matrices and variations thereof.

RPM only measures a very small subset of what we normally thing of as general intelligence, and they correlate with general intelligence less strongly than vocabulary. They definitely aren't nearly as good at predicting future college performance as the current SAT is.

>You can teach how to solve it to a schoolkid and it is still really hard to practice for.

It's actually not, you can definitely practice for them. And they are very sensitive to repeated testing.

Here's a cited Psychology Stack Exchange answer with a good summary: https://psychology.stackexchange.com/questions/20177/does-pr...

RPM was developed to be free from cultural bias, but we now know that this isn't the case, they can actually be more biased than verbal tests depending on the culture.
It looks like every (mostly useless) waterfront, science city or business park I have ever been to. Is there something new here, or is it like with many things these days that people's perception have diverged from reality?
The word processor by Hancom is actually pretty nice, especially for composing Korean-only and mixed Korean-and-English documents. I've been using it since before I even knew that MS Word existed, and I still prefer it to MS Word for anything that contains CJK characters. The proprietary file format is a PITA, though.

Hancom did release a Linux version of their office suite a few years ago, and regularly updates the OSX version. Moreover, Hancom has been dabbling in Linux for over 20 years. They even maintained their own Red Hat-based distro at some point. They also support OpenDocument and OOXML fairly well. In short, Hancom has been hedging their bets very thoroughly. So if the government adopts Linux by any chance, it won't be difficult for them to go fully cross-platform and keep their lucrative government contracts.
I like qwant.com. No affiliation.
Nothing wrong with that, if google works for you then just use it.
What are you referring to as "walled garden" here? (Also, what does this have to do with "youth"?)
As a non-expert who has, for years, been challenging idea of investing in heat sources on the ground of "cheapness," it's greatly satisfying to see somebody actually run the numbers and provide evidence. And this was five years ago! The numbers have only made the case stronger since then.

Thanks for this excellent piece.

DDG uses a combination of Bing, Yahoo and Yandex results. From what I can tell they don't index SPA sites very well:

A comment from July 2018:

> We get our results from various sources, mostly Bing, Yahoo and Yandex (more info: https://duck.co/help/results/sources ) so if/when they introduce support for SPAs, we should get that too. I don't know what their plans are for this, however.

In machine learning, a learned model should be able to generalize to unseen data. Curve fitting does not have that characteristic.
It shifts the focus from the outcome to the action that a specific individual took.

Which, as you suggest, may or may not be what you want.

"Mistakes were made" types of construction are widely (and properly) mocked in many cases because they're viewed as evading responsibility. However, there are cases--such as having a post mortem of some sort--where you really do want to focus on what happened and how it could have been prevented rather "Joe kicked the power cord out."
This looks like one of those questions to which the author already knows the answer, and posts the question on an alternate account so they can get all the upvotes for their subsequent detailed explanation for the behavior of their contrived example.
They should also sue some government agencies then, they are bunch of hypocrites.
Go to a real grocery store. If you're shopping at any of the "name brand" grocery stores you're not going to get that much of any quality. Local coops and "high end" grocery stores generally have a great selection and often they have someone working there to help you understand and select cheeses.
I think they’re referring to the suppliers perspective.
I might try the right shift, that's not a bad idea. Still the delay of a redirect, but might be useful when on mobile or when not using my own computer. Thanks for the suggestion!
I think that Google should build company housing at their main facilities, give their people somewhere to live, and watch them 24/7 like lab rats.

You could accomplish an interesting experiment plus deal with the problem of giving new hires a place to live.

[please explain the down-votes, I really don't get it. I'm just saying this is an highly regulated military-equipment type export, and it seems strange to me that many care more about spyware than about things like missiles that are being sold around the world, often by a private regulated company to a not so perfect buyer (and governments never are)]
It's legit. Not a scam. I have no idea how Netlify can offer so much in their free tier, but they do. They are likely to get bought out by a Cloudflare, etc, at some point, so time will tell if the free tier will remain so feature-full.

I wouldn’t do this, or at least I’d do a bunch of accessibility testing before implementing this (something which wasn’t mentioned in the article).

Assistive tech allows column and row access to tables that have the default display:table styling. Setting them to display:block (a common approach for mobile historically) typically removes the ability for people to navigate in this way. I would imagine that changing to display:grid does the same.

My issue with the parent post was that I interpreted it as claiming the ACA causing health insurance premiums to rise, to which I wanted to point out that any legislation that would have resulted in more people getting healthcare would have resulted in either higher insurance premiums or taxes. Therefore it’s moot to complain that ACA caused one’s health insurance premiums to rise.

The only way to provide more healthcare for cheaper is to increase the supply of labor, I.e. doctors and medicines.

To me the most of the ways that I can think of a city being smart are not related to surveillance.

If there is some system that is supposed to benefit the public then its designs should be public and subject to public approval.

What would be reasonable would be something like open source designs and protocols and maybe an electronic bidding system for projects.

But it sounds like its one company embedding whatever spy-tech they want and controlling everything over a large area behind closed doors.

I actually am really looking forward to smart cities. But smart as in high tech and advanced, not smart as in monopolistic surveillance dystopia.
