idk what I was thinking with my comment above! I think it was misplaced.

It's really sad that Google and other big corps do this to people. They destroy their livelihoods on a whim. We really have to think of a way to divest ourselves from them (GCloud, AWS, I;m looking at you too)

For me, I come from a mixed career background which even one manager told me was a red flag to them during the interview process. Triplebyte’s value prop, to me, is in helping my resume get looked at at all. This is great because I’ve generally done very well in phone screens when I can actually get them. However, my comment stems from the experience that bias only gets removed from screening phase. Once you’re onsite, you can still tell which interviewers look down at your resume and suddenly you’re back to square one. Only this time in a high pressure situation where the interviewer has full reign to try and find flaws in you.

As for recruiters, I get contacted a lot but I have yet to meet a recruiter who was willing to work with me to communicate to hiring managers why my resume looks the way it does. All of them just want to drop off your resume and put in no effort in helping you which is no different from cold applying.

I think the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo cool was that the hardware was completely lacking in design: it was as practical as a carburetor and as stylish. And that's why we liked them.

Wait, AMP still exists? I haven't seen it for a while now, also in google search results (though I don't do many of those). I thought it was dead after literally everyone thought it was a terrible idea.

I suppose I'm happy the google crawler is still banned from my domains. People should use something else if they want good results now.

Does uBlock or privacy badger block it? It seems out of scope for those projects so I expect I should see amp links just like anyone else. Or did they kill it in the EU or something? I saw someone from NL wondering the same elsewhere in the thread.
I don’t think it became clear people prefer algorithms, I think the fundamental problem was with the millions of websites Yahoo couldn’t scale.

HBO is operating on a much more tractable problem. Human curation may work better here.
It actually gets worse in Apple's case. They were doing it secretly, which is bad enough, but they were also denying warranty repairs to throttled phones (since policy was to only conduct the repairs once an arbitrary "health" metric fell below a certain point, and the throttling kicked in first).

This meant your options were to either deal with the crap performance, or void your warranty by installing a third party battery.

I haven't gotten my invite to Roam yet, but isn't an aspect of Roam that you can network with others to aid in collaboration and discovery?

Privacy is great, but for collaborative research, Obsidian's model seems to be at a disadvantage.
This got shared on their discord, but I s2g that it really is the case, given that I use a similar tool called Roam, which recently had such a big spike of attention (in part due to Thomas Frank's video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxOffM_tVHI) and somewhat popularized what Obsidian is kind of aiming for here (so much that Roam had to close registrations due to massive traffic influx). Plenty of ppl just swear by Roam at this point, including its creator who has big vision for a thing. Here is his white paper on a thing: https://roamresearch.com/#/app/help/page/Vu1MmjinS.

I can attest to that as well, and given that Roam is unavailable, would suggest to try out this alternative that is pretty decent for what it does (even though Conaw (Roam's creator) does think it doesn't exactly align with what Roam really seeks to do, yk the thing)

Edit: to elaborate, I am not raving about either Roam or Obsidian, I am raving about they approaches they provide, and after nearly a month of using Roam it honestly feels like a game changer to me. Solved my art block a bit as well.
It’s remarkably well-preserved! Aside from some fading and needing some polish, it’s impossible to believe it’s really that old. The “resolution” (to use a modern turn of phrase) is much higher than I would have expected for something that large.
I understand the objections to Google's actions--this is clearly a dick move which is terrible for both users and content creators--but I'm not understanding the AMP hate here.

As a user, AMP is great. AMP is a better implementation of the open web than HTML is. It's a (usually) self-contained document that isn't tightly coupled to the server it came from. You can download an AMP document, render it, attach it to an email to a friend, etc., without having to log in or get tracked. Unfortunately AMP is adding ad capabilities, but at least AMP allows you to strip those out fairly trivially.

As a website, if you want your users tightly coupled to your server, just don't implement AMP? You literally went through non-negligible effort to implement a feature and now you're surprised and angry that it works the way you implemented it. AMP was always a bad idea if you wanted users to be dependent on your website for your content--this has only made it a slightly worse idea. And by the way, if all you want is credit for your content, it's trivial to add a linked byline to the top of your AMP.

I'm not defending Google here. They're an amoral corporation with too much power and shouldn't be used, period. But AMP is fine.

EDIT: I can only assume the silent down-voters are people who implemented AMP and are whining that what they implemented works. ;P

alcohol does kill viruses, so it should be taken seriously. the falsehood is that drinking alcohol will kill viruses in your body without doing other harm. the missing intuition is the deleterious effects on the body and the lack of targeting once therein.

I miss the office and the routine, but frankly, my days go by much FASTER when working from home. Instead of being stranded away from home for 9 hours, I get to sleep in, and dip in and out of work more frequently. I work later in the day, but it's broken up by various things in the house; feed the cats, wife comes home from work, etc.

Obviously it depends on the day, but some days in the office it would be noon, and the end of the day would feel a positively unimaginable amount of time away.

hard pass, do your own research.
I will never again build any kind of workflow for my knowledge on top of anything that isn’t open source. 5y is a long time and 10y is an eternity for these sorts of products but its just a fraction of my working life.

My own personal setup is a bunch of markdown files and it’s great, so I like that approach, but I’m very cautious about investing time for something so important in a product i don’t control.
> Same with Netflix, in my experience they truly know what I will like to watch...

Wow, I'd love to live in that world. Once Netflix abandoned their 5 star system their recommendations really tanked for me. It feels like it's recommending more based on outrage & "engagement" than enjoyment for me. Meanwhile MovieLens [1] consistently guesses what I would rate a movie within +/- half a star, I think I'm using their Warrior recommendation algorithm. The tagging features on MovieLens help - apparently I most enjoy "visually appealing surreal mysteries".

But I absolutely agree about Spotify. Spotify seems like its actually learning from my Liked tracks, curated playlists and behaviour, and picks up on when my tastes shift to wildly different genres for a while.

AMP is "Accelerated Mobile Pages". Are you on mobile?
Reminds me of how Yahoo! tried to differentiate itself from Google. There are companies that think they are in media, but really they are in search. I think the explosion of good quality content is turning the streaming services into search companies.

FWIW, before there was Delphi there was an entire language (and consulting industry) built around this: PowerBuilder. Its primary component was a "DataWindow" which was a fancy presentation object around basic CRUD SQL. Good times were had by many.
Well, the human species first and foremost should be seen as consisting of individuals, and while being deeply excited about and appreciative of all the high-tech endeavors, I keep asking myself, how much they are - and for how long they will continue to be - dependent on a near-slave labor of millions of said individuals around the world. (It's still there, on a massive scale, in spite of automation, machines, robots, the AI and what not we take as a given these days.)
Thanks for raising this. I couldn't imagine using anything like this without a serious guarantee that if development ever bogs down I'd still have some way to keep it working and up-to-date. Even if the founders honestly intend this to be the case, who is to say that the firm that buys them up feels similarly?
can you do a quick and dirty screenshare demo of how you use it and post that to youtube? e.g. setting up some notes after a fake brainstorming session or micro LSD dose etc..

Why We Buy Domain Names (and what to do about it)
I had a job that wasn’t bound by time. It was fantastic.

I had work assigned and showed up for the occasional meeting. I’d often get it all done in a few late nights and used the rest of the week to do whatever I want.
I actually get a lot of value from cloud hosted solutions, I bounce between 2-3 machines daily and multiple OS installations several times a week, and would like for my notes taken on one machine to just be there when I write notes on another machine.

Another thing I need to do often is type up design docs collaboratively, we use google docs for this currently but it sucks for our use cases.

And finally, I read and write a lot of GH wiki pages and various markdown notes in git repos for open source collaboration, which isn't really helpful for cross referencing information.

Is there any way to do this with obsidian? I'm all for owning my data but tbh, a lot of the powerful features you demonstrate only make sense for me if I can throw my data up on a server and make it accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.

> Firefox says they won't support it, ever.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. Mozilla's position statement on web packaging[1] says:

> As a whole, and for origin substitution in particular, until more information is available on the effect on the web ecosystem, Mozilla concludes that it would not be good for the web to deploy web packaging.

Personally I'd like to see web packaging adopted without the origin substitution capability (at least to start with), as it would still allow sites to offer web apps comprised of a fixed bundle of code (signed with an offline key), rather than potentially different code each time you visited. That would reduce some of the concerns around serving "secure" apps on the web, as long as browsers had a way of preventing the server from silently updating the web package (perhaps using short-lived unique subdomains/certs).

Maybe it's a Vancouver thing. I seldom experienced age discrimination when dealing with SV companies, but in my experience it is rampant in Vancouver. Last time I was job hunting I was 45 and I was also literally laughed out of a couple of offices. The ones who did not laugh for the most part ghosted me after the first in-person interview when they saw my white hair.
I'm going to add a few of the Latin-1 characters this week. Quick question- how important are the double-height versions, and the multiple aspect ratios? It's slightly easier if I leave out the double height characters, and just publish the 1.0 (Square pixels) and 1.3 (TV stretched) aspect ratios.

If there wasn't a lock down in Florida like you say and no hospitals were overwhelmed and no exponential explosion of cases happened.... Then that's all the evidence you need to know that flattening the curve was a myth and quarantine was an ineffective solution.

(the same effect happened in Sweden by the way)

I bet you based on these data points that every region that opens it's economy will have the same result. Steady state of cases, no second wave.

Quarantine was pointless. A lot of lives were ruined by the flat curve proponents...for nothing.
You probably get an email address with your ISP as well. The downside is switching ISPs when you use their domain, but if you're happy with them and don't plan on switching, it might be an option.

At work we use Runbox (Norwegian if I'm not mistaken), works well and iirc the pricing is affordable also for individuals.

A new ISP in the Netherlands, set up in response to XS4ALL being killed by the parent company, offers email hosting with a custom domain for 50 euros a year (domain included I think). I personally have high expectations there. For more context on what XS4ALL did and stood for aside from privacy, see https://hn.algolia.com/?q=XS4ALL

Self hosting is also pretty easy if you don't mind getting your hands dirty for an evening or two to set it up. (For me it has been hands-off most of the time, aside from upgrading to new hardware every few years.)
It's been a while since I read the AMP project website, but my impression was that it was written by people who drank a lot of the Kool-Aid. There's probably a lot of people working there who believe that AMP is good, but we can't discount the compliance created by the exorbitant pay and prestige of working at Google.
I think that icon was meant to be bait for Microsoft.

The host metadata, as it shows up in the macOS Finder/open dialogs/etc, is configurable by having your host publish an mDNS _device-info._tcp service record. You can publish a display name (as arbitrary unicode), an icon (as a machine model name), etc.

I'm guessing Apple figured that if they made the default icon insulting, that might incense Microsoft into building mDNS support into their SMB stack, just in order to use it to broadcast that _device-info service, to make Microsoft SMB present more professionally on macOS clients.

Sadly, Microsoft never bothered. But at least I get to use it to make my Linux homeserver look like an Xserve! (See https://www.tumfatig.net/20170607/let-mac-os-auto-discover-y...)

(Though, sadly, this exact combination of mDNS-announcing-SMB is what is broken in the newest macOS, so I can't recommend you follow the above guide right now. Maybe we'll get support for this back in a few releases...)

I agree for cars and planes, but for spacecraft, the crew doesn't really need to "keep their eyes on the road," so to speak (and it's not like the spacecraft controls can be done without looking, anyway, like turning up the radio).

Comparing to Apollo, I can imagine that being able to impose some hierarchy on the controls could be beneficial (rather than having all 566 switches laid out across the cabin), and the reliability is probably better than one dedicated switch per control, since the control can be used on any of the several touch screens.

Apollo 14 nearly failed due to a faulty switch. Apollo 12 was saved by flipping a switch that was not well known. Are there other incidents where the controls were critical? In general it seems like when the astronauts are in a hurry you've probably already got major issues, and being able to find the control out of the hundreds (or thousands) is probably more important than being able to flip it with your eyes closed.
HOOQ (now liquidated) followed the same approach and it ended up as an operational nightmare.

> The user is already comfortable with the way their browser works, and you will fail to capture the subtle nuances of their user agent with your pretty imitations.

Amen! One form of browser imitation that particularly annoys me is client-side page loading. This is where JavaScript code intercepts activation of links, loads the new page using XHR or the like, then updates the current DOM in-place. Yes, this gives web developers the opportunity to prefetch pages or do fancy animations. But the accessibility problem here is that there's no way for an implementation of this technique to signal to a screen reader that a page loaded just as if the browser itself had loaded the page. Yes, you can use an ARIA live region to make a screen reader read your own message when you've finished loading the page. But I want my screen reader to be in control of what it does when a new page loads, e.g. automatically reading the contents of the page, possibly in a user-configurable way. So I think it's better to let the browser just load the page.
