> The idea you wouldn't be able to do your job or that it would be impacted in a nontrivial way by switching to a different search bar in your browser seems ridiculous, correct me if I'm wrong.

Personally I would absolutely consider this to be wrong.

There is only so much cognitive energy we all have during the day. You have to spend it wisely. There are certain groups of people on the fringe (early adopters, Linux desktop folks, the people who run their own mail servers, etc...) who have the willpower (and can afford!) to trudge through the transition from one tool to another. Sometimes you can see the value of that transition before you make it, and so it's easier to push through. Other times, there is no light at the end of the tunnel or it's not very bright. The same thing happens when people switch operating systems or programming languages.

So there is always a cost to switching tools. That cost is either going to pay for itself in the end or it's not. I do not see DDG ever paying for itself.
Fixed/floating is an interesting tradeoff for many real-time strategy games too where changes in game state are a synchronized simulation. Fixed point math in software can give more reliable and cross-platform math operations, but with a performance cost (eg: Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak). Using the CPU's floating-point hardware is faster, but you often have to ensure the correct CPU registers are set before doing calculations and those registers can be changed by other software such as a DirectX driver or the operating system (eg: Age of Empires II, Rise of Nations. etc).
I had a similar experience. I joined a company about a month before Google launched a competing advertising product (you know, the kind of product Google never kills). The CEO got stuck in some sort of pivot loop where we'd drastically change our product offering every 6 months.

The CEO insisted it wasn't pivoting, it was "refinement", but he also had a really annoying tendency to redefine X to mean "what we do", so he could tell clients and investors "we do X".
Support for CO2 taxes is my acid-test. If a nuclear advocate uses a climate argument, but doesn't support a CO2 tax, they're just hopping on a bandwagon hoping for a handout.

BTW, CO2 taxes would have to exceed $300/ton for new nuclear construction in the US to be competitive with natural gas. Do you support that high a CO2 tax?
What does this have to do with Kubernetes? You should read the article.
I switched on mobile to eliminate AMP pages.
> it's a reasonably measure to counter fraud with real identity tying in with mobile phone number issuance.

Perhaps it achieves the goal, but is it the best approach? Isn't it doubling down on an already problematic scheme? User names and email addresses are more easily swapped than phone numbers, with facial recognition you're locking yourself even more to the phone number, making it even harder to switch when it becomes compromised.

At least here you need a legal address for bank account anyway, so financial institutions can just mail (the dead tree kind) you an unlock code for online banking, this makes a stolen identity far less useful.

There are ways to solve these kinds of problems that don't also feed the surveillance machinery.

> TikTok, the fast-growing social network from China, has used unusual measures to protect supposedly vulnerable users. The platform instructed its moderators to mark videos of people with disabilities and limit their reach. Queer and fat people also ended up on a list of „special users“ whose videos were regarded as a bullying risk by default and capped in their reach – regardless of the content.

I'm certainly not privy to all the inner workings of other platforms, but this doesn't sound like what happens on other social media sites...
The OP was presumably talking about areas around major cities, which in your list I'd guess only Anchorage qualifies?

But yeah, this is a hugely subjective metric, and I think we should allow the author his biases there, even if we disagree.

Michelin uses it, there's a case study: https://apostrophecms.com/case-studies/michelin-case-study
Ahh, so that must be why I find DDG search results flawless.

Just the facts ma'am.
The real lesson is, no matter what base (radix) you use, floating point math is inexact.

The value of floating point is that it can represent extremely huge or extremely infinitesimal values.

If you're working with currency / money, floating point is the wrong thing to use. For the entire history of human civilization, currency has always been an integer type, possibly with a fixed decimal point. Money has always been integers for as long as commerce has existed, and long before computers.

If you're building games, or AI, or navigating to Pluto, then floating point is the tool to use.
"Enforcing low margin incentivises the correct behaviour which is openness and continued innovation. "

Wow, no, this is just not true.

'Margins' vary widely from system to system, and it's generally best left to industry to figure that out. We spent a good part of the 20th century figuring out why central authorities are not good at setting prices.

Where monopolies/oligarchies develop, there are possibly problems, which is why there are regulations against cartels, price fixing, anti-competitive behaviour etc..

Qt is just a small player platform, they are well within reason to charge 'whatever' prices they want for their 'marketplace'.

If 99% of software was developed using their tooling, we might want them subject to their tooling, but this just isn't the case, so best to leave them be.

I have absolutely no desire to do them. The constipation is unbearable for me when I take them. I do enjoy a hydrocodone.

But it has been a year and they treat the cancer, and then another scan and there is a new spot, rinse and repeat.

Another round of radiation starts next week. So not a terrible idea to keep some pills around. But this batch of radiation should be easy. 5 treatments over two weeks. Probably won't even get a sunburn from it!. And it might seem odd to be really happy about radiation. But I was thinking it would be another few months of chemo. So radiation is fantastic.

Merging requires diffing, and hashing enables efficient diffing. It's a reconciliation process just like checking balances in accounting, and you could think of version control as accounting for code.
I use DDG as my primary engine and my habit is to search there first. I have to say, I often don't get the results I'm looking for. So, I simply "bang" out a google search immediately after using DDG search "!g [search phrase]". My coworkers chastise me for being inefficient, but hey, I see it as a small price to pay to support DDG while still getting the results I need.
I really like JetBrain's Resharper for Visual Studio -- they have a very nice, flexible, and configurable 'TODO' window. For example, on our team we try to put TODO followed by our name or initials. The TODO window can then partition those out into separate lists.

There's also the compulsion that highly trained professionals have to correct false information out of a sense of pride or ego. It helps to combat misinformation when you have a fair number of "ummm, ACKSHULY"'s in your profession.

This is an excellent idea. My workplaces have often used github or confluence for documentation, but they're slow, and offer limited customisation. Static site generators make a lot of sense for this use case.
Many feature additions in the past few years have been driven by enterprise support from Michelin and other clients, which is why there's a strong emphasis on workflow and localization (see the apostrophe-workflow module, which is an optional npm install so that projects that don't need it can easily skip it).
It doesn't matter how good some results are, if the search engine manipulates the results, tracks the users, and even more so - steals the ideas and profiles the users.

Google has had some very public news stories of manipulating search results, tracking users, and profiling users -- people en mass left google's news site when they started manipulating it, profiling results for total control of Chinese population is pretty recent too, there are dozens of examples. And google profiling users and trying to guess what they are researching or thinking about it is too easy.

And face it, google no longer has a way to innovate but go the way of tracking, monitoring, and theft.

I read a convincing argument recently that “virtue signalling” would be more clearly renamed “piety signalling”.

When Alice accuses Bob of virtue signalling, it usually carries the subtext that Alice doesn’t actually agree with Bob’s assessment of what virtue is. You rarely find the accusation in a context where someone is doing something universally agreed to be virtuous even if they are being kinda self-aggrandising about it. Usually the accusation comes when someone is loudly exhibiting “virtues” which only seem virtuous to one side of the culture war.
Correct, mobile editing hasn't been a priority so far. Of course you can build mobile responsive sites well with it.

Do you recall when this was? This kind of feedback is highly unusual for us. Most users love SN precisely for its reliable sync. Our syncing engine underwent large-scale changes in June/July of this year to solve an edge case with opening out-of-date clients. If you experienced any issues after this date with updated clients, I'd be very surprised, but would love to hear more if you can spare a moment.

The only other issue we have heard of precisely one other time has to do with Firefox pinned tabs + some assortment of Firefox browser extensions. To be clear, any reproducible issues with syncing are 100% fixed as quickly as possible.

Lastly, regarding our API for syncing, while our encryption specification is described in plain text detail, you'd have to inspect our source to see how syncing works.
Seems like there should be an app that serves as an editor for you well enough. The syncing problem is only a problem because Apple (I'm assuming your on iOS, and I don't know as much about android) doesn't give you a fucking filesystem.

I'd be pretty happy with something like ViMobile, and `git push` personally.
If acceptance is below 100%, people are being denied spots. If students are constantly getting waitlisted, that is even worse, with an unfulfilled promise amounting to denial.

UCF is a convenient example for me:

UCF is informally known as "U Can't Finish" because the classes fill up before all the students can register. You can see the complaints on /r/ucf around registration time, and I've heard about this personally from people who have experienced it. For example, a CS student can't graduate because the physics classes all have over 150 people waitlisted.

According to wikipedia, "enrollment today exceeds 66,000 students from 157 countries, all 50 states and Washington, D.C.". The school is 4% international and rejects 50% of applicants. Unless nearly all of the rejected students are international, there are many non-international students who lost spots to the international students.

Storing money in floating point is fine. Just round to the nearest atomic unit when displaying. Sometimes this is a necessity when working with money in e.g. existing JSON APIs. You lose a few bits of range relative to fixed point storage but it's almost never a practical issue.

Performing arithmetic operations against money in floating point is the dangerous part, as error can accumulate beyond an atomic unit.
I'm not sure it's a good idea to give doctors a pass because of how easy they are to bribe. It's a fair point that we can't allow unethical studies, but the fact that doctors and scientists are so vulnerable to bribery is a larger issue that should be addressed and would probably improve a lot more than just nutrition science/medicine. I don't see many easy answers, but giving doctors or scientists a pass for the current situation seems a bit too generous.
And before anyone asks what ViMobile is... I wouldn't know, developing applications for iOS is stupidly hard.

Sounds like they are building a new OS written in rust sitting at the level of bios, beneath a standard Linux kernel. This will be an open source bios running at or below the hypervisor supervisor ring level.
Good catch! I'm thinking of fixed-point number types. Ruby's Rational was/is cool, but looks like an inherently difficult number-type to work with and keep sanity high.

For currency, business side should decide the rules (* 100 or * 1000000), and where to funnel the pennies ;) Fixed-point has it's own sort of gotchas, ie. multiplication, power, division, sqrt, etc. So there are fancy techniques to work with the numbers, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham%27s_line_algorithm

> Really, all these long lines show is how our recharging infrastructure is woefully behind the demand for electric vehicles. Initiatives like Electrify America are a solid start, but even its 5,000 chargers won't come close to matching the convenience promised by a gas station. What we need is a massive national investment—public, private, or a combination thereof—to create a fast-charging network to rival the pipes, trucks, and pumps that make 87 octane flow like water for most folks.

Tesla has already invested $400 million in their network, and continues to expand it (Electrify America was part of a settlement VW had to agree to as part of Dieselgate, hence why they can't be VW branded). It's clear legacy automakers aren't interested in making the investment, nor state or national governments.
