Did you know that having an SSL certificate can impact your website's SEO and user experience?

Google's strong stance on data security includes rewarding sites with secured connections—ones with "HTTPS", not "HTTP". SSL, or the Secure Sockets Layer, establishes secure connections for website users. It encrypts sensitive information and prevents phishing attacks.

Google has acknowledged that websites with this security layer have an advantage over sites that don't. While sites with SSL don't necessarily shoot to the top of the SERPs, over 40% of listings on Google's first page are SSL secured.

As well, SSL affects user experience. Users are less likely to trust sites without SSL. The visual warnings can dissuade users from visiting a site. And, about 84% of people would abandon a purchase on a website that's unsecured. This can impact e-commerce sales and site bounce rates.

Sites with SSL also load faster than ones that don't, which also impacts its ranking.

Overall studies suggest that “HTTPS is moderately correlated with higher search engine rankings on Google’s first page.” However, the impact is enough that installing SSL is now best practice.

Next time you set-up a website, be sure to install SSL. This ensures you protect your site and its users, as well as avoiding potential SEO penalties.

The Easy SSL Profits software helps you install SSL in a matter of minutes.

Depending on the size of the site, your installation can cost you thousands of dollars and many hours. While necessary, it can be a very resource-draining process.

With one-click, Easy SSL Profits does the work for you at the low-cost of $27. Charge $250 per installation and make a $223 profit with one simple step.

The software comes with a demo video and one free SSL installation, plus bonuses valued at $250!

Help your clients rank higher with Easy SSL Profits and purchase the software today!

This is a bit harsh. I'm sure a lot of readers must have got at least one takeaway from this article.

It's helpful to remember that what might be obvious to one person might be a revelation to another - depending on their skill and experience.
>you can only query one document per-second

That's not true. You can't query any single document more than once per second, which is very different. You can certainly query many separate documents per second.
>How would I test that?

On windows you can use CPU-Z, on linux look up for some command line solution.
If you are going to be fair, the question is how many consumers are there who use tethering?
If you code in C++ with tooling like QtCreator, Clion, VC++, C++ Builder and everything enabled (static analyses), it can be quite productive and even quite secure.

However it still largely ignored as good practices, in a world where teachers still use IDEs like Turbo C++ as teaching tool.
A bit like current Amazon deliveries, then.
"you can only query one document per-second".. uhm, that doesnt sound right, it would make firestore useless for all intents and purposes. The only limitation I know that sounds close to that is 1 _write_ per second for the _same_ document.
Trump is a world-class salesman. And this skill is more about instinct than cerebral/deep thinking, which is why nerds “just don’t get it”.

>The chances that my vote, my petition, my call to a politician, my letter to a newspaper, my post on social media, will affect the world in any way are infinitesimally small

they are but that's not actually participating in politics. Participating in politics can mean joining a party yourself, joining a city council. Running for a local office. Participating in a local activist campaign, and so on.

The author's thesis declares news unecessary on the basis that it has no influence on your life. That's only true if you're already detached from public life or citizenship to begin with. The word 'idiot' actually literally translates to 'private person'. In ancient Greece it used to be an epiphet for a person not participating in public life. That's essentially what the author is encouraging, literal idiocy, when the task should be to rekindle participation.
> The state of democracy is in danger. From top-bottom to left-right, the entire nation is dividing and these troughs will not be easily coalesced.

Divide et impera. But it doesn't even have to be a conspiracy and "class warfare", it seems that "enemy action" is hard to tell apart from "we've just let things happen and this is what happened".

On the golf it's not a button but a dial (furthest right).

I leave it on Defog most of the time (straight up) and change from there without needing to look. If I'm unsure a quick glance tells me the angle and I can make the adjustment without having my eyes on it.

If they would only use something like rsync or ostree at the least. But if the biggest files are archives it would require recompression. If it's more like an uncompressed tar archive then it should be easier, but still it would require either a clever algorithm or the format support by the algorithm.

Hi sarcasmatwork, I just want to let you know that it has been updated again, with a loading indicator to give users a hint that the data is being fetched or finished.
Assuming you mean this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-refe... it looks like a restricted form of the C preprocessor. (We may quibble about whether it is separately "pre" processed or not, but even cpp doesn't run as a separate stage in modern C compilers).
do you cross-validate what the algorithm serves to you with full timelines of people you follow? how do you do that?
Hi FillarMillmore, the site has been updated and I hope you can experience it with ease. Thank you
They are doing their best under a particular, self-imposed, restriction. To use as little human work as possible to solve the problem. What we are learning is that you need people in the process that can look at the situation and make decisions.
> The article has a very strong "throw enough sh__ and see how much of it sticks" tone to it.

It's intpolicydigest. What did you expect? What you don't know what intpolicydigest is? Yeah me either.

But the article is just the rehash of the same propaganda you see all over social media and "news" sites like foxnews, breitbart, etc.

That china has some pull in media due to its potential lucrative market isn't news. But the idea that they have enablers is laughable. If they had enablers, we wouldn't have had nonstop propaganda about ughyurs, organs, coronavirus, etc for months on end. Israel, Saudi Arabia and britain have enablers in our media. China is on the outside looking in. But I have a sneaking suspicions intpolicydigest isn't going to run hitpieces on israel or saudi arabia.

Speaking of enablers, I would love to see who the enablers of "intpolicydigest" are.

I eventually settled on Hasura but I did evaluate amplify. It looked to me like it was too complicated to break away from their db so I gave up on it (it was possible, but it felt like you had all the complexity of AWS IAM permissions, but just to access data). I didn’t go too deep so I don’t really remember the details but Hasura seemed the better approach (still a happy user of it).
finally :
major Delphi Code Insight improvements using an separate LSP service.

HighDPI should work also better now (hopefully, they promised that already)

some new language features - custom managed records

and a breaking change (for the mobile editions) - unified memory mangement (aka no more ARC)

and lots of cross-platform and mobile updates which i dont use ..

That sounds a lot like hasura.io as well.
That’s right, it’s mostly forward! So they’re just much less efficient at generating data from the events compared to the big detectors?

Still, what’s up with the lack of data from 2013-2015, was it shutdown during all that time?

Yes, I did a blog post when it happened: https://captnemo.in/blog/2018/06/02/google-tld-no-more-a-rec....

Google was pointing its TLDs to 127.0.0.53, and once they started using the TLDs actively, they removed the records.
> Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but my Go code is often littered with casts between different integer sizes and signedness.

It can actually be a feature, and one of the things that brought me to go, as you can define your own integer (or float, or string, etc.) types, thus making them incompatible with each other:

type distance int
type speed int
func distFor(d distance, t time.Time) speed { ... }
...
x = distFor(x, t) // Oops, that's probably a bug!

Not many languages let you do this, especially back then. But yeah, not great for exploratory programming.
Just a few growth stats and updates on key activities. Nothing too important - just a nice gesture in return for a nice gesture. Happy to add items to the email if you want them
I also think taking notes really helps me remembering. For SW development-related books, I try to write a blog post summarizing what I liked/disliked about the book, and also shorter reviews for Goodreads and Amazon (because I find those really useful, and rely on them when checking out books).

The BENQ monitor I bought a few years ago had capacitive buttons. It started flickering and the warranty replacement was a newer model. I was happy to see that they had switched back to physical buttons.

That said, the OSD interface has nothing on the decade-old Dell that sits next to it, which even has the option to flip the interface for ease of use in portrait mode which is how I have it set up.
Self driving software will be winner takes all, or a maybe two companies will sell software. Pretty easy to see 20M units/year at $5000 each, so call it 100B in revenue per year with profit margins of 50%. The winners will likely see close to a trillion increased valuation. There is a natural monopoly for the first successful movers.

As a side note, risk/reward ratio is the same, but when making bets with positive expected return, you must consider bankroll size and risk of ruin. The VCs are realizing they can’t play a $300M/year game where the probability of winning is 20%, even though the expected return is 100x.

Well I did read about covid early on an nearly bought masks in preparation (didnt do it because WHO said it’s fine).

I read a lot about the UK government so I can tell when to buy and when to sell british pounds. Doom and gloom on the guardian or dailymail? It’ll go down. Good (fake or exaggerated) news on the dailymail? It’ll go up.

But indeed most news are just a distraction. And most news websites are a load of BS with titles meant to drive page traffic up.

I try not to but it has been below 10% many times (and occasionally so empty it turns off).

Now WFH, so it has been plugged most of the time since late March and I'm really just nursing it through until the newer phones are released so I can decided whether to get the updated SE or the newer model.
Borland is still in business, although with another name, Embarcadero.

What happened was that decided indies weren't any longer their target demographic and they wanted to be enterprise and focus on product and process lifecycle management (PPLM) tooling instead.

So Delphi and C++ Builder got priced accordingly and they renamed themselves to Inprise.

After 20 years they are trying to get back the indies with community editions, but the damage is already done, and 100% of their customers are enterprise shops.

So unless you are working for a Fortune 500, you will hardly come in touch with Delphi / C++ Builder nowadays.
Why not make webpages that are not accessible by any of x in x = {Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge, Opera, ...} and only accessible via simplistic web interfaces?

(Yes, IRC is like that.)

The cool factor can be as much "everyone is doing it" as "the cool kids are doing it".

Herman and Chomsky wrote “Manufacturing Consent” in 1988. It’s a comprehensive description of the media propaganda system, of which this Amazon thing is a single example.
I see this as a failure of what a HN described elsewhere of securing the OS against a user and not apps as well. Ideally all apps would be security principals and appear in ACLs. Then say each file created couldn't be deleted by another app unless it was present in the file ACL. I believe APPX packages on Windows now do this, a new user is created for them.

I have an interesting one from within the past month, although I don't think the phrase "alternative medicine" was used:

Trump was mocked in the media for asking if getting UV light inside the body was a possible treatment for covid19, as if he was suggesting an alternative medicine treatment. And light therapy does have that long a history.

Thing is, this is not only a known treatment used in the past (only falling out of favor in the 50s), there are studies from the past few decades about how well UV light works on viruses, and it really is being investigated today for use on SARS-CoV-2.
"Love is the Killer App" is great book on reading.

It discusses how to take notes in books, review them quickly, retain information, choose books and so on.

Like all great business books, it has a wrong and misleading title. It has nothing to do with apps.

Binaries are obviously not portable, you can't run ARM binary on x86 and vice versa without emulation.

Unlike any other language Go lets you create binaries for almost all architectures and OS with a single command, you won't find this in any language.
I can't remember a time I've downloaded a patch that is as big as the base game on a console. Granted, most of the games I play are on physical copies.
What the hell else to business apps do? I'm genuinely interested to know what you think is the clear issue with showing users data from database tables.
While I really appreciate this attempt to explain what /fb means, I'm not sure replacing sub-atomic particles with pebbles really helps.

I did onderstand from your explanation that /fb is called inverse fb and it represents an estimation of a number of collisions. So thanks for that.
I don't read for speed nor for retention. I spend the time to digest the content, not to retain it. Just like you don't "read" math books, but engage with them.

Now this is not necessarily the optimal strategy for sure, but for one reason or another my personality is better fit for this style. I read very few books but then "debate" it in my head, try to connect things to other things, life experiences, news, other books. Is it true what the author says? Have I read somewhere else that an implicit assumption the author is making has been discredited recently? What could be the motivation? Could I argue equally convincingly for the opposite view? What are the implications for other things I care about or was wondering about perhaps long ago?

For a long time I was very ashamed of how few books I read, compared to what is expected from an educated person, but I'm okay with it now. Same with movies. I watch a movie and I think about it for days. Just watching them for relaxation doesn't work for me, following who is who and what's going on drains me more than relaxes. Especially when there's no "payoff" and the plot can only be described with "and then they" sentences.
Within my team I call this the best website in the world.
Alternative: I'd say Java (or similar), since it has the language abilities and sophisticated static analysis tools are readily available. But startup time is still not interactively-fast, so for CLIs it's sorta a no. For long-running processes tho I mostly like it, and stuff like compacting GCs keeps it running healthier much more easily than Go.

Beyond that, dunno - I usually reach for Python since I've written it professionally for a few years and it's pleasantly terse. But it's a fair bit of work to make actually fast and I don't generally think it's worth that effort. Go is much easier there... as long as it's kept simple.

I have some strong hope for Rust, but I think it's fair to label it as "still maturing", though it's already very far of ahead many langs in some areas. And I just don't have much experience with it yet, so have no real conclusions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Still like to use Bootstrap a lot.

>>>Do you have any links that aren't from these wackjob, far-right fever dream websites?

Far-right websites like the Washington Post?
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/federal-eye/2009/06/third_c...

>>>His connection to Obama was... what exactly?

Kevin Johnson was a public political supporter of Obama while mayor of Sacramento.[1] Walpin investigated Johnson for fraud. Obama fired Walpin. Which one of those three facts are you disputing?

>>>since they have basically nothing to do with what you quoted

The cei.org link should have been grouped with the Rasmussen Reports link as they are both related to the firing of IGs.

>>>Not going to spend time watching some fringe conspiracy YouTube channel

That video cites numerous articles from major journalistic outlets (BBC, NY Observer which itself cites the Washington Post) relevant to the discussion of corruption in the Obama administration, and runs through them at the cyclic rate. It's time-efficient content. It's also funny. But you can't debate any of the information provided, or any of the conclusions drawn, if you discount the presenter as "fringe conspiracy nuttiness".

>>>You should seriously consider that you may be in a short, narrow, and extremely loud echo chamber.

In this thread I've cited sources ranging from the right (Michelle Malkin, Heritage foundation), to the center (BBC, CBS News), to the left (Washington Post, Politifact). You haven't posted anything, haven't countered any of the facts, and have only criticized the sources with strawman accusations of "far right conspiracies". I would challenge you to be more aggressive about exposing yourself to information that challenges your positions and assumptions, and avoid the strawmen.

I think this is why the Couch-to-5k plan seems to work pretty well for a lot of people at the early stages. Just that gradual increase in distance/time each time you run, and a couple of months later you're running for 30 minutes/ 5km non-stop and it feels pretty great. I then worked from there all the way up to doing a 10km every weekend and the feeling was amazing.

Unfortunately, after we had kids I got out of the habit, put a load of weight back on and am now back at the beginning. On the plus side, I know what I'm capable of if I take it slow and steady, and I have two more reasons to look after my health.

I also read The Oatmeal's "The Terrible and Wonderful Reasons I Run Long Distances", which really just described my relationship with running perfectly.

For me, the boredom is also aleviated by copious stacks of podcasts. It's kind of my mental relaxation time. Half an hour outside away from the child induced chaos (which I love, but you need a break from it sometimes).
Sorry - I intended to write that but I guess I had a freudian slip. You're 100% correct - each document only. Let me put a note
With power tools you tend to get crap at the lower price levels but most people only use their power tools for like 5 hours so spending lots of money for high quality isn't worth it unless you need it for your job.
