> google is abusing it's monopoly search position to pre-load.

How is that abusing their monopoly search position? Abusing their monopoly search position would be making publishers integrate directly with them to enable preload, like Apple News. Instead, they ask publishers to serve documents that can safely be prerendered, and all their competitors get to (and do!) consume those documents as well to enable safe prerendering from their own sites.

> Stop using chrome. Honestly, wtf?! Firefox is awesome.

I do not use Chrome, but I don't think Firefox is awesome. While I use FF, partly for moral reasons, my experience is average and I saw many flaws and bugs. I prefer the features of Vivaldi, which is based on Chromium, but does not phone home to Google.

> STOP USING google SEARCH!

While my default search engine is Duck Duck Go, I don't recommend it to friends and relatives. My experience is that searching in any language but English gives very poor results. Other patterns also need to be redirected to another search engine, so it's not a a smooth migration.

My estimates are that 50% of my searches are for DDG, 25% for Google, and 25% for others (Bing, Qwant), not counting specialized searches like Wikipedia. That is enough to prevent being profiled.

There was a condenser explosion at a refinery outside Beaumont this week (edit: TPC group refinery in Port Neches, Wed thru Thanksgiving morning. Primarily 1,3-butadiene). Probably related, either directly or because of surplus burn off.

I want the same but for twitter. I find twitter an important news gathering source for my daily activity, but it's biased. There's definitely a bubble in my feed. I'd love to explore other bubbles. Perhaps rather than having music as preview, it can have the "most influential tweets" one can quickly look at. Purpose is to find other relevant and reputable feeds to follow.
Yes, totally agree.

Beyond managing teams, you probably will need to cope with politics as well. “The 48 Laws of Power” are a good start...

It is also worth understanding how asymmetry works in the business world: give Taleb’s “Antifragile”

I think managing teams has always to be seen in the culture of the respective company. Good managers make sure they position their teams for high-impact (depending on what high impact is), get the resources they need and the credit they deserve. All that has almost 0 to do with how to lead people but will probably determine success like no other factor...

Work in progress, but sixel support may be coming to mainline tmux:

git clone git://github.com/tmux/tmux

git switch sixel

git checkout b1904c9b8db514133d3372aac13b2ff0b2093cc3

This will give you the "placeholder" box for sixels in terminals that do not support sixel (but you should use mlterm on Linux or mintty on Windows)

The upcoming feature is to replace this placeholder box by unicode art for the sixels, cf https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/1613 for the current discussion.

Then you will be able to break your dependency on the GUI just by using w3m and your favorites sites, whether your terminal supports sixel or not (but it should, it's just better!)

apt-get install libsixel1-bin

w3m -sixel -o display_image=1 google.com

Cf https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/244930/how-do-i-vi...

There are other apps with integrated sixel support like mikkuter for twitter, gnuplot (there was https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-gnuplot , but now the sixel backend is compiled by default in the official gnuplot-nox starting from debian-10)

At the moment, I'm working on a mutt hack rendering outlook emails with all their included thingies (images etc) into sixels.

If someone is looking for an idea, it'd be great to have a IRC client that replaces URL containing pictures by their sixels renditions, a bit like what lsix does ( https://github.com/hackerb9/lsix )

From Java 10 this is valid Java also:

So it's almost exactly the same in both languages.

The Nautilus article on the same list [1] suggests that Boyle may have been referring to architecture - building structures larger . I interpret it as humans being able to leave a large mark on the universe, and I think we've achieved it and are improving on that ability. The man had a fantastic imagination, but I wouldn't be surprised if he imagined 50-foot men digging canals with this statement.

Boyle would have been familiar large structures like Old St. Paul's Cathedral, whose spire stretched to almost 150m high, or the HMS Britannia, a 51m 1620-ton ship. These and other projects would have been completed with manpower and horsepower: 80kg, 100 watt men and 500kg, 700-watt horses doing work. I think Boyle may have been imagining 8,000 kg, 10,000 watt men doing the same, and been unable to imagine an 80 kg man sitting in a machine that did the work.

I think that would have been checked off his list if his life had been prolonged long enough to see factories, trains, and equipment operating by steam power. It would the 800m Burj Kalifa or a 333m 100,000 ton Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, effected not by men pulling on ropes but by gigantick hydraulic heavy equipment. A person can pull a lever and lift more than a thousand tons with a crane, or dig up cubic meters of earth effortlessly. And I don't know if anyone has ever effected more useful power than a Saturn V launch, which projected humanity's reach out to the moon, and the Voyager missions have subsequently reached out to 22 billion km and are currently adding 17 kilometers to that number every second.

> Never ran into anything like this. Show me a package that doesn't work with yarn

Been too long, don't remember. Happened more than once. Options were "debug package under yarn, and assuming there's a way to fix it without modifying yarn itself, submit PR to package's repo" or "just use npm".

Naïve search for 'is:issue is:open "npm works"' over yarn's ~2,000 open issues reveals some packages that don't work with it, pretty quickly. I'm sure npm has bugs too but we consistently and reliably ran into yarn problems that could be fixed immediately by switching to npm, on several projects. A browse through their issues more generally reveal tons and tons of broken features and edge cases, still, looks like, which is how it was back when I was using it, too.

If it's working for folks that's fine, but I think it's still a bad idea to give (especially) newbies the impression yarn's clearly the best choice.

Capital gains is weird because there are several different ways to justify the lower rate, but then how it's calculated should differ.

For example, if you bought a lump of silver thirty years ago and sell it today, the nominal price is higher, but that's basically just a result of inflation. Shouldn't we be taxing the real gain and not the inflation? But in that case maybe instead of a lower capital gains rate we should only adjust the gains for inflation and then apply the normal rate.

Then you have the double taxation argument, but in that case you should either just get rid of the double taxation or dividends should be treated the same way.

And there are several others, but what they all amount to is that the lower rate is a bad hack and we would be better off in each case to account for the thing that needs adjusting directly instead.
Seconded, this is a great book.

I think all non-managers should read it as well as it will give you some clarity on what you should expect from your manager and what their day-to-day is like.
I don't think that's true. Both Latex and C++ were replaced. It's just that their best replacements were more specialized tools so that left a bit of space for both to survive.

It's just like that example of cars mostly replacing trucks in the US. Trucks aren't obsolete, but most don't need them so choose alternatives that fit their life better.

Latex was replaced by Microsoft Word, Adobe InDesign, and Markdown. Each one is different but for people who might have used Latex for a certain use case, one of those more specialized tools might be better. But there will always be a need for Latex itself.

Actually, it's a pretty well-known fact that users leave websites if they are not loading fast.

People don't go with reading plans to websites, the titles are optimized to bring you there and you don't know what's in the article. More often than not, the text on the website is not what the title made you believe it is. You can't plan ahead, you want to quickly find out what is this all about.

The article themselves are usually garbage optimized for SEO, long paragraphs of sentences that say the same thing but with different keywords. If that's not enough, they try to sway attention with ads and popups. Even if you had a plan about reading an article, the publisher's plan about you is different(tip: it's not about letting you read in peace).

The Web is horrible, it's even more horrible on mobile. AMP is an improvement.

Randomizer speedruns are an awesome recent innovation in speedrunning, where the aim is to beat the game as quickly as possible (in a category called "true any%" [0]).

For most popular speedrunning games, randomizers reward a completely different skillset than standard speedrunning. Typically, world record speedruns are a result of a community collaboration between theorizers, glitch finders, and routers, who devise the optimal "route" through the game -- what are the minimum objectives necessary to beat the game? What is the fastest order through the objectives? Then, running the game itself can require technical skill to move the character at speed with precision (particularly relevant in platforming games like Super Mario, etc) and execute tricky, timing-dependent glitches (notorious are 1-frame tricks, which require a certain input at a specific frame in a game running at 30 or even 60 frames per second).

Route optimization is somewhat equivalent to solving a traveling salesman problem, and is usually performed over the course of days or weeks in online chatting groups. In randomizer speedruns, however, the speedrunner must come up with a good route on the fly, since the particular randomization is essentially guaranteed to never have been seen before, as well as actually run the game. Needless to say, this demands, and shows off, a huge amount of expertise from the runner, and is a big treat to appreciate.

Personally, though, I think bingo speedrunning competitions are even better. Here, the goal is to win bingo on a randomly generated 5x5 grid of in-game objectives - but any square completed by you or your opponent becomes inaccessible for the other player! This retains the difficulty of routing on the fly while adding direct head-to-head competition between speedrunners. In some of the best cases, mindgames can ensue when speedrunners are aware of their relative skillsets which give them a comparative advantage at completing certain in-game objectives. Sniping squares becomes a fascinating strategy.

[0] True any% stands for beating the game with any percent completion. Communities for certain game sometimes rally around other categories that restrict or ban certain un-fun glitches (any% with certain limitations) since speedrunners ultimately want to have fun.
I have been using the "Redirect AMP to HTML" extension:

https://www.daniel.priv.no/web-extensions/amp2html.html
This seems like the most popular solution, but there are concerns that it may disrupt routing, and also does not work on -some- systems.
It's weird how the article mentions that before Suspense there was a waterfall issue. But as far as I understand Suspense introduces the waterfall issue.

Hi HN folks!

We're just putting out the 1.0 release of ReactiveSearch Vue - https://medium.appbase.io/reactivesearch-vue-1-0-ui-componen.... It's a sister library to ReactiveSearch for React, with a similar aim of removing the pain out of building search UIs.

It takes care of querying, managing search state and updating your UI. There are 10 built-in components: https://docs.appbase.io/docs/reactivesearch/vue/overview/Sho... which can help one get started in minutes. However, it's very much designed to allow bringing in your own UI components and design systems.
