A few days ago a search about CNAMES landed me on a Quora page which I quickly left. Like a fool I wasn't incognito. And less than 24h later I got an email from Q to highlight other stale and incorrect information on their site.

Creepy and bad.

Unfortunate that layoffs don't start with upper management.
I would hope they've put thought into that and might even blacklist sites that try to steal other more popular sites favicons. I guess it would catch a lot of false positives with companies making new sites on new tlds that might share favicons.
How is Linode “much cheaper than OVH”? Their margins are probably way higher.

> "the Florida effect"

This 1996 study by John Bargh, using only 30 psychology undergraduates as test subjects, is now more known as the prime example of bad psychology, done with too small sample size and dubious statistical methods. This study is at the very center of the replication crisis in psychology. That the conference presenter has not followed at all what has happened in psychology in the past 8 years, erodes the scientific credibility of the presentation.

My whole work consists in manipulating arrays of numbers, mostly in python, and I never found any use for pandas. Whenever I receive some code that uses pandas, it is easy to remove this dependency without much ado (it was not really necessary for anything).

Can anybody point me to a reasonable use case of pandas? I mean, besides printing a matrix with lines of alternating colors.

there is a ridiculous price difference between vanilla s3 and managed backup storage. Its close to 10x.

backup storage on postgresql is billed at $ $0.095 per GiB-month
same on Aurora is billed at $0.023 per GB-month

If you include Glacier, then it is 100x. I truly believe that AWS charges these costs because they make a crazy amount of premium with that. And that is why these exports are architected to be non-restorable.
I assume because nearly all the works of man are aiming to control and suppress nature. Instead of the natural untidy beauty of an ancient forest, or wild meadow, with random animal and human tracks through it, we pave, concrete and "neaten". Everything tends to a boring concreted monoculture, with straight lines and walls or fences everywhere, such that even parks are a poor second to the natural world -- though if I ever find myself in a city they are a blessed relief even knowing they are the ersatz second best.

It is almost unheard of to work with nature, to produce sustainable, sympathetic houses and cities that are a part of the natural world. The nearest we get is an occasional designer rendering of a sustainable city of the future... A future just about everyone fights hard to ensure never arrives, and we get the sad, brutal ugliness of the city.

We could have both. Without much difficulty.

Can only speak about technologies I work with so for PHP, JetBrains PHPStorm is probably the only decent IDE. WebStorm is also better for web development, primarily you get all the features out of the box without having to configure anything. I tried VSCode but found that I need to use plugins for everything and there are multiple plugins for the same feature, which means I have to try all of them to see what suits me. This is a time consuming process and I'd rather I use WebStorm instead :)

CO2 is not visible. You cannot see CO2 (unless it's frozen as dry ice). Smog is caused by sulfates, not CO2. I'm all for clean burning fuel but not for smog-inducing pollution.

CO2 cannot trap or reflect visible light spectrum. It can only trap a very narrow band of infrared energy. That's what causes the minimal warming effect.
I bought MoO Classic and MoO 2 on GOG.com a while ago. I just tried installing and playing them on macOS Catalina, and I can verify that they work. But the stand-alone installers aren't notarized, so you'll have to approve them manually, or use the GOG Galaxy app.

> As long as you realize the web without ads is a much smaller and less commercial one.

This is fine. People should make web pages because they have something to say, not because they want to make money. Since the advertisers can stop supporting a site, they effectively become the arbiters of right and wrong on the internet. Anything paid for by ads is inherently worse and less trustworthy than independent creations and platforms because they must necessarily be advertiser-friendly.

studies add value regardless of whether you think they follow conventional wisdom or not. The burden of proof is on science to prove something, not just make common assumptions about it.
> All decent IDEs have a file search command.

Yes, all decent IDEs have file search command. But Emacs got SEARCH:

- You can search for all files that contain given string and then open the search results and modify occurrences using multiple cursors and then save it, and it will propagate changes in multiple files;

- You can recursively search for file names, then (for example) mark those that are bigger than 15Mbs, or files that were edited last time in March, and then tell Emacs to show git-log of changes, but only related to those files;

- You can search for a pattern, but also tell it to display it with a context (for example 4 lines before and after the occurrence);

- You can recursively search for a filename pattern, and then among those that you find, you can rename those that match a regexp;

- You can git-grep for a file that was deleted in the repo;

- You can find all the compilation/linting errors and warnings in the code for a given project;

And guess what? All that works the same way for remote machines. You can use the search on a remote computer and open files, just like it was a local machine. Heck, you can even search and open files inside Docker containers.

You think I'm done here? I haven't even talked about searching for stuff using Org-mode.

Seriously, whenever there's an argument about IDEs vs. Emacs - Emacs just beats the shit out of any. "But it doesn't support re-factoring... bleh-bleh." Like everyone who seriously uses Emacs really doing it because they hate refactoring or something. Emacs has better tools and a myriad of ways to deal with code.

> I guess you're an inclusionist then.

Well, not really. I'm mostly a "treat people's time with respect"-ist. The biggest problem I have is not so much with deleting as such, but rather that for some this seems to be the first tool they use once they see something that they think is not a good fit. Not everyone in the deletionist camp is like that, but there are quite a lot of them and you will run in to these people sooner rather than later.

I've saved more than a bit of content by just copy/pasting the deleted content somewhere else (instead of a separate article), or just by Googling for a few extra references.

Can't decide if you are being sarcastic or not. But I'll reply assuming its a serious question.

Tweetdeck was created by a third-party developer in 2008. It was and is so popular that Twitter acquired it in 2011 for £25 million.

And then Twitter started slowly shutting down its apps, all the mobile versions of Tweetdeck (Desktop, iOS and Android) were suspended and removed from respective app stores. Only keeping the web version alive altered and modified by Twitter. Tweetdeck also had Facebook, LinkedIn and some other social networking service integration, those were removed too. Tweetdeck is pretty much the best Twitter app for advanced users. Now its alive but we never know what Twitter plans to do with it.

We can look back in history and make a well educated guess. It took me a couple of days to figure it out, but we HAVE seen this same game play out. Back in the 90s there was a search engine that started out pretty decent but eventually did their best (or worst) to make ads and search results indistinguishable.

It was called Altavista.

This reminds me of coming back to the US after finishing up my Mormon missionary service in Japan. Regaining the ability to sleep in. To study out of any book I could find. To explore the internet again. No longer needing to bow. The overwhelming sweetness of the food. Cars that looked too old to be on the road. Seeing obese people in public on a regular basis. Carrying around a small notebook to write down simple but forgotten English phrases.

And somehow still deeply caring about the world I just left, but realizing it was a hugely uncomfortable context-shift away, and permanently behind me on top of that.

Just--crazy and weird and wow what a transition.

No, I want them to be visible and even to distinguish. The new design has a much larger [Ad] icon which helps with that.

I'm just saying that comparing with DDG is not a good idea in this case, since on DDG the ads look much more like organic search than on Google.

The danger of intrahospital transmission was one of the WHO's key takeaways[1] from the SARS outbreak. Mitigation seems to depend on three pillars:

1. Identify infections quickly and isolate those patients as soon as possible

2. Aggressively trace and monitor anyone in contact with those patients, including hospital staff

3. Set a very low threshold for quarantine of any person suspected of infection

Thankfully the various governments involved seem to have already started running this playbook. There's also a fairly loud public education campaign[2] underway to make sure people know what to do (call the doctor, tell them what's happening, and follow their instructions) if they show symptoms.

Note: I'm not a doctor or epidemiologist, but I split my time between Hong Kong and Singapore so I've followed this situation relatively closely.

> The fourth was a decision at the National Security Agency to focus not on making computer networks more secure through defensive strategies, but to focus on offensive capabilities. The NSA wanted to be able to hack our enemies when they use our own software, and that meant keeping our software shitty. Essentially the shadow regulator of software security became our spies, and they regulated to ensure there would be more vulnerabilities, not fewer.

What's the best evidence for this? Particularly of "a decision" and "they regulated" -- beyond the hoarding of zero-day vulnerabilities mentioned later.
I guess instead of "natural", if you say "inherently biological" or "circadian" it conveys the sense better. I think the author intends to refer to the natural cycles inherent within the human body without the aid of devices. In that sense, sunlight and the day-night cycle, and the cycle of seasons may be a better indicator since they have a large enough effect on the human body even in the absence of other mechanical aids.
It is quite clear and unlike the strange x86 using kbd to switch mode etc. quite clean.

It’s feels well-constructed, put together from simple concepts/components, in a way that makes it quite replayable.

Three Ways of Storing and Accessing Lots of Images in Python (2019)
I'm using Hammerspoon on MaOS to give me a semi-tileable windows interface. Here is my config:

local hyper = {"ctrl", "alt", "cmd"}

hs.loadSpoon("MiroWindowsManager")

hs.window.animationDuration = 0.3
spoon.MiroWindowsManager:bindHotkeys({
up = {hyper, "up"},
right = {hyper, "right"},
down = {hyper, "down"},
left = {hyper, "left"},
fullscreen = {hyper, "f"}
})

-- https://github.com/miromannino/miro-windows-manager

This allows me to place any MacOS window in either a horizontal or vertical third, or a quadrant, or a half, perfectly divided in such a way that I can maximise use of my screen while running multiple apps. My most common work environment is to have a terminal on one half of the screen, docs on the other - or two terms on top of each other on one side, docs on the other.

This is so useful for me that I yearn to make the same hotkeys work on my Linux machine, but I haven't worked out what window manager I want to use to do it .. probably Awesome of course, but I'd love to be able to use the same Hammerspoon scripts (Lua) somehow ..

This. I feel like a lot of people don’t realize that a very significant portion of FB users dont scroll the timeline and strictly use it for messaging, event scheduling, checking out businesses, and other things that mostly deal with organizing stuff.

I know it is a silly anecdote, but i end up checking out my facebook feed out of boredom about once every few months, get disappointed in it, and then forget about it for another few months. It also helps that FB has dedicated first party apps for a lot of fb functionality that doesnt require the main fb app. I havent had the FB app on any of my phones since about 8 years ago, simply because i didnt feel the need, not because I felt some strong conviction against FB. Messenger app + Local app (for FB messaging and events respectively) has been a golden combo that worked great for me. Local, surprisingly, has amazingly clean UIUX that combines both event discovery and organization of your current events in a very seamless way.

Just a note, i am not affiliated with FB as a company in any way, and neither have i worked there. I just think that a lot of people tend to focus on the trashy common denominator part of FB (timeline) and ignore the good stuff. And FB makes it really easy to avoid the trashy stuff by having clean dedicated apps for functionality that i actually care about.
