Likely because a lot of SEO tactics are not necessarily things that hurt the quality of the site for the user. Using the right heading tags, image alt texts, meta data/schema markup, a good title and meta description etc are all SEO tactics, and they're also all things that help the user experience.

Similarly, a lot of inbound/offsite SEO tactics are theoretically things that help the user as well. Providing content people want to link to, getting authorities to link to said relevant content, etc are all things a user would appreciate.

Using SEO tactics as an anti signal would boost poorly designed sites, inaccessible sites, etc. What really needs to be done is something that filters out sites creating thin content just for the purposes of getting traffic, and that's harder to filter out.

Yeah, it’s not a new idea; but I’d say “some” languages rather than “many”. Dylan’s another case; great pity it didn’t fare better. (I’d much rather be using it than Swift.)

Also, none of them are in the mainstream, which creates general challenges to adoption. Fortune favors the entrenched.

...

Another thing worth considering IMO is structural rather than nominal typing, which fits more with the “if a value looks right, it is” philosophy that untyped language aficionados enjoy without going for full-on pants-down duck-typing. ML favors this, IIRC (I really must learn it sometime).

I find nominal typing can get a bit excessively OCD, demanding so much additional annotation as to obscure the code as much as clarify (“Hi, Swift stdlib!”).

I also wouldn’t mind being able to define sets of permitted type mappings in advance, and letting the compiler figure out where in the code to insert (implicit) casts. For instance, if I’m passing a variable typed as integer where a float/string is expected, it really wouldn’t kill it to promote it automatically; most are perfectly happy to promote integer literals where a float is required after all. (And if I do want to know about it, which I usually don’t, I can always turn warnings/errors on.)

Your harmony book sets a high bar for obscurity! I'm sure many of us with an interest in harmony would like to know more - please tell us something about it.

A book I am very fond of that I don't think is widely known (though it's not in the same league as your suggestion) is "Resisting the Virtual Life", a 1995 collection of essays on the theme of cyber-wariness published by Lawrence Ferlinghetti's City Lights imprint - more often associated with poetry.

Also very obscure for a long time, though easily bought now: Mervyn Peake's self-illustrated children's book "Captain Slaughterboard Drops Anchor". From the author of Gormenghast, but frankly much better. Highly recommended.
That's a disingenuous headline (I blame the Telegraph).

> In an email from June 2018, before the first Max crash, one Boeing worker wrote: “Best part is we are re-starting this whole thing with the 777X with the same supplier and have signed up to an even more aggressive schedule.”

> Another member of staff warns about a relentless cost focus...

> Last September, the 777X suffered a setback when it failed a ground test of its strength, suffering an explosive decompression that tore the fuselage and blew off a passenger door.

None of those are what I would call the "Max problem," (I'd consider that to be MCAS) but there does seem to be a systemic problem off cost cutting and aggressive deadlines.
This sounds damning:

>At the climax of the hearing, however, he had trouble explaining what was done about an internal FAA study showing that there would be over 15 crashes of 737 Max aircraft with 2,920 likely fatalities if the MCAS system was not fixed. That study was completed over three months before the Ethiopian airliner crashed.

>In his appearances before Congress, then-Boeing chief executive Dennis Muilenburg couldn't explain other internal documents that showed the company was aware long before either crash of the flaws in the MCAS system that lead to the tragedies.

>One engineering study showed that pilots would have only four seconds to recognize a problem with the flight-control system, and only 10 seconds to respond to it, otherwise there would be a "catastrophic" crash.

Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban is not unknown but not hugely popular.

Post apocalyptic novel written in a made up language (think Clockwork Orange).

Poetic and deeply moving account of a boy's journey through a world where scientific knowledge has devolved to primitive ritual and incantation; and his dawning realisation that we lost everything.

I've never read anything else like it.

I am Polish and it looks to me as this is decision is based on politics. No one is prosecuting gay people in Poland but indeed there are people/organizations who are against LGBT ideology (and I do believe that the same can be said about other Western countries). Polish fought for decades to have a right to express freely and openly their ideas and toughs and I hope that pressure from any organization will not change our attitude to freedom of speech and thought.

I visualize and remember code that way. For me, it's hard to forget somewhere I've been, even if I only imagined being there.

Each function is a little building like an office or a shop, which has a sign out front telling what services or products it sells, and contains everything inside you need to solve some kind of problem or produce some kind of product or service (where equipment in the room is like references to other objects and functions and imported libraries).

You're standing behind the front counter, just about to receive a customer though the front entrance door with the parameters you need for one particular instance of that problem.

You go into the back room, solve the problem, then deliver the results out the exit door at the back of the building (or through any of the other earlier emergency exits, if you had to exit prematurely or throw an error and run away).

The front/back flow is a metaphor for the top/bottom flow of control through a function.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nassi%E2%80%93Shneiderman_diag...

If you squint you can see the example Nassi-Shneiderman diagram in that article as a map of a building, with its front at the top, and exit at the bottom.

You can have internal hallways and rooms for branches and loops, like a Nassi-Shneiderman diagram. The "Sub to Determine Wiki-Article" room is like the front entrance lobby of a theater where buy your ticket. The "Select Favourite Genre" room is like the stage of The Price is Right, and you get to pick what's behind door #1 (History), #2 (Science), or # (Geography), or else choose Other. They each have one or two rooms behind them with your rewards, and then they all finally exit out to the same back stage loading dock, where you take your wonderful prize (or consolation donkey) home.
Capitalism is very good at incentivizing externalizing costs: the environment, healthcare of its workers, etc... You need government to fix that because the market by itself sure isn't.

Of course capitalism isn't all bad. There is a lot of good that can come out of it too.
The Analysis of Art by Dewitt Parker. This was referenced in Dynamics of software development by Jim McCarthy. They're both pretty good but the Parker book is kinda rare.

Propaganda and Information Warfare in the Twenty-First Century by Scot MacDonald, it's purely academic but also a fantastic read. Also academic is Technoscientific Imaginaries: Conversations, Profiles, and Memoirs by George Marcus, also obscure but at least easier to find.

The 60s-80s books from City Lights are nice when you come across them. Pretty rare though.

Cannot understand what exactly is that. I have used a simple alias called (unsurprisingly) yt-audio for years, which is youtube-dl with appropriate flags (-x, --audio-quality, --download-archive, -o, etc.), and this seems to be exactly that, only written in python for some reason.
> - Microsoft File Search: Even with full disk indexing (I turned it on) it still takes 15-20 minutes to find all jpegs with an SSD. What's going on there?

Does turning it off speed it up? I think disk indexing (the way Windows does it) is a remnant from HDD times, and might make things worse when used together with a modern SSD.

Oh, like Framefree, from 2006.[1][2] Framefree worked on harder cases, too; not just video game characters with nice sharp edges.

That was a really good idea. It came from Kerner Optical, which was spun off from Lucasfilm and went bust. They had their own frameless video compression format, and there was a Firefox plug-in for playing it. Some of that technology went into systems for making 3D movies from 2D movies, and ultra slow motion for sports. I saw it up at Kerner, in Marin north of SF, about 15 years ago, and I had the plug-in and some files it could play.

It's basically an automatic delaminator (the hard part) that separates an image into multiple planes. Then each plane from two images in a sequence has morph points found. The interpolation is a standard 2D morph. You can morph as slowly as you want.

The business end of the operation was totally botched - there were holding companies, an offshore shell company in Jersey, something called Monolith, and some company called Quin Land in Japan. All of which seem to have sunk without a trace. Sad.

I wonder if anybody paid the maintenance fees on the patents.

The first three links after the ad were for the same "virtual piano" (not a piano) on different websites.

Keep in mind that this is taken with zoom lenses and that you're seeing a lot of atmosphere between the camera and the camera. This reduces contrast a lot and in an attempt to make out more detail in editing it can end up looking a little more cartoony (as the dynamic range is compressed so you can see it on a computer screen).
I remember getting Semiology of Graphics from the Palo Alto library around 2006. At the time it was sort of legendary and out of print, but it looks like it's since been reprinted. I think you can get most of the ideas from newer books, but it's well done and clearly ahead of its time.

Interestingly another relatively unknown book I like (and bought/read 20 years ago) is also about harmony:

https://www.amazon.com/Harmonic-Experience-Harmony-Natural-E...

I would say there's two kinds of harmony: harmony in equal temperament, and "alternative" harmonies based on physics, and this is about the latter. I can't tell from the link what the other harmony book is about. What's good about it?

As far as computer books, I've read a lot of recommendations here over the years like "thinking forth", "Computer Lib" by Ted Nelson, etc. They are well known to some audiences but not others.

I'm pretty sure Gelertner claims that the Facebook feed is identical to his "life streams". I guess taken literally it's hard not to see the current Internet as a "mirror world" that's becoming the real world.
Very impressive work. I would love to see what this looks like when you start to drop more and more frames. I’d be curious to see how this technique starts to degrade as the input FPS goes down.

Seems like it already can dramatically reduce the amount of work involved in making an animation. Very cool to see pixel art animated at 60 FPS!

This is going to sound like circular reasoning, but bear with me:

In order to raise self esteem, one must do esteemable things.

Volunteer, be kind, let people in in traffic, work out, do these things consciously. You have to spend energy every day. Choose to spend it in positive ways.

Note: the results are not instantaneous. Nor are they overpowering. It's subtle, and you often only notice after things have been better for a while. Sometimes, others in your life notice for you.

Try to stick with it for 90 days. Worst case scenario, you made the world a little bit better for three months. Hard to lose.
Same. I'm building the foundations with a relational lang (https://github.com/Tablam/TablaM), because where Access/Excel "fail" was to have a huge disconnect between how use it and how program it. Also because I think the lang could make everything else easier (for example: transform datasources).

Where some tools in this space ALSO fail is to be ONLY for cloud. I think nothing will displace access/excel if don't have a native/local experience.

They’ll certainly exchange some amount of gold for something but I doubt it would be the face value of the notes.
