I think most people haven’t internalized that Google is no longer a search engine but an answering engine.

A search engine tries to find all sorts of relevant information related to your query. The more the merrier (it’s searching after all) and then sorted in a way that puts the relevant results first. An answering engine, in the other hand, tries to minimize the number of results. In an ideal world, it would only return one thing, which tells you exactly what you want.

One example of this change is the fact that it’s no longer useful to go beyond the first page or so of Your results. Because anything down that low is irrelevant as an answer and is probably discarded by google anyways, which wasn’t the case when it was a search engine.

I’m not saying this is a bad thing. In fact, I suspect the majority of time the majority of people want an answer, and not a multitude of results. But I think this is what leads to google search changing in a way that does not meet many people’s expectations here.

It means google emphasizes stuff that gets people answers quickly. They parse text and reveal the answers on their page itself. And they are not very useful for exploring anymore.
This is absolutely a thing. I’ve had it happen to me more than once, to the point where I now tend to abandon carts just to see if I can get a sweeter deal a few days later.
It would be nice if you could specify preferences. For instance, if you hate tracking and ads, you could tell google that and it would down-weight those results.
I don’t really see how taking docs offline helps anyone either functionally or symbolically.
I agree, but somehow when I google for something, Wired and all these websites are the ones that appear on the first result, so what's the deal? Google don't care if your website is heavy as long as that domain provides a lot of ads income?

I've made a website pure HTML with just a small CSS and no JS; with real great content. Google doesn't take it into account. So I don't know if they are really pushing for a light network, or maybe, I don't know, because it is easier to convert these website into AMP?
I'm in my mid 20s, dropped out of college 3-4 years ago and have managed to get an average paying development job. I would go back to college and get my degree but there are two things that hold me back.

1) Dealing with college admissions is literally one of the most frustrating things I have ever done. The IRS has given me less run around than most college admissions I talk to.

2) Money. It all comes down to money. I'm having a very hard time justifying the cost at the end of the day.

With that being said, if someone comes up to me and ask me if they should go to college my answer is absolutely.
Your comments means a lot to me. And by a lot I mean a number that even a quantum computer would have a hard time dealing with!

I will keep on doing what I like to do and keep a very close eye on my enthusiast so that it will never leave my side. We are very much a like in the regard, variety make for a great part of the world in its own.

I am not sure if there would be anything for you to gain today but if it's not today I surely will be making something that is at least worth seconds of your time.
It's not nitpicking to say that the court can invalidate legislation. It's one of the most important powers the court has.
It's really difficult for me and I hate to deal with code that uses native variable names.

Constantly Switching from English keywords, English resources and code samples on the Internet to local variable names adds a lot of cognitive load.

Some people do it though especially my co-workers with a background in mechanical or electrical engineering.

My lease in Sunnyvale is ending in 3 months, already last month my landlord approached me and asked if I want to stay for an extra year at a 5% increase. I told him I'd like to take some time to think about it and see where things are headed, but I'll need to get back to him soon. My house is below market already from looking at Zillow, and even with a 5% increase it still will be, but I'm not sure what I should do (besides asking nicely to drop the increase). I'm not sure if/how this will affect big 4-5 bedroom family homes vs. smaller places. Young single people can just up and leave, for a family it's less trivial.
MyRadar has a drop-in replacement for the Dark Sky API
I frequently read the specific sub he censored, and even I could not decipher the name initially.

The sub is chapotraphouse, based upon the podcast of the same name. I've never listened to the podcast, I tried once and within a few minutes found it obnoxious. As somebody interested in political theory/history/whatever label you want to apply to "the study of power structures", I often find the perspective of the sub interesting, and can usually be summed up as "21st century communists in America".
Cash strapped employers in high COL areas could end up lowering costs by just hiring remote workers from low COL areas who've just been laid off.
> Even if these are US companies they need to comply

Only if you have an office in the EU.

Not any more than US companies need to comply with arbitrary Chinese laws, or Japanese companies need to comply with arbitrary Saudi Arabian laws. Why does the EU have special status in being able to impose laws on the US?

The EU can feel free to block the website if they don't like it. (But we know their citizens would throw a riot if they started censoring the internet, sshhh...)

However, independently of GDPR, I agree that it's wrong and that you shouldn't be saving contact information by deception. You'd lose me as a customer if you did that.
I don’t mean to miss your point; however, to many people, US law and the Bible are connected. The Moral Majority[1] used and modern religious right use the Bible as justification for their social and economic policies.[2] It could be argued how Biblical their policies are, but to say they are not connected in many voters’ and believers’ minds is to misunderstand them and what they believe, religiously and politically.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

What happened to Mr. Floyd is a tragedy. This just comes off poorly though, no matter how well-intentioned. Understood that you want to show the world you care. This just seems small, pointless, and unsubstantial. Why not have a button that solicits donations instead of crippling functionality that somebody expects to be there?
Some of the time the 'reason' is going to be as simple as the browser crashed or aww someone sent me cute kittens. Or even then there was this other option but now I come to think of it that one was the best...

Probably these scenarios occur far more regularly than somebody rules out buying from a store solely because they received a marketing email concerning an earlier order they abandoned.
No not double standards. They are absolutely consistent standards. Zero principles. Pure profit motive. You don't have to run your company like that. This was a choice they have made. (Note that the profit motive isn't always the profit of the shareholders, it is the profit motive of the powerful inside the company).

Don't miss the point though. Cannot, under any circumstances be trusted. If they are sufficiently pressured they might do the right thing, or at least pretend to in public. Assume they are lying about everything until proven otherwise is a statement of the obvious.

He's stubborn, but he also realistically I don't they have any choice. Retrofitting all the cars they sold with FSD, with set of LIDAR sensors (or refunding those purchases) would likely bankrupt the company.

Buying a car with FSD HW years before we even know what's needed to get FSD, is like buying a PC, spec'ed to run Duke Nukem Forever, in 1997.
Ross Douthat's opinion piece from two days ago backs your Thought #2: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/30/opinion/sunday/riots-geor...
Are you suggesting that the car is intelligent enough to only plow into massive stationary objects if they'll crumple adequately so as to prevent driver injury?

A better argument would be about overall occupant safety vs driver-controlled vehicles per mile travelled.
Short answer: worse.

Long answer: It is worse, and it all boils down to two phrases which I classify as "marketing speak". Marketing speaks aim is to impress and influence you, "technical speaks" aim is to inform and educate you. When shopping for a library or framework for your next feature or project, it helps to distinguish between the two. Usually any time you see a buzzword, you've stumbled upon some marketing speak. The buzz-wordy term "declarative" has been popularized by React, so I just thought I'd apply it to HTML and hopefully encourage someone to skill up on the web fundamentals (HTML, JS and CSS) before tackling JS frameworks to avoid disasters like this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42464888/how-do-i-change....

> highly-interactive

What does this mean? Are you talking about video games? Because that is what comes to mind when I see the term "highly interactive".

> logic-driven

Aren't all programming languages logic driven? Or are there some feelings-driven apps?
Have you tried putting it in an IFRAME?
Please explain how just dismantling unions is the correct and rational solution? I'm less inclined to believe in qualified immunity, but I can see that it is based on a legitimate concern.

Because crippling functionality that you expect to be there.might get you to actually pay attention.
Your comment is much more than this, but: just wanted to add that in a lot of places (like India) the norm is being forced to pick your major before entering college, which unfortunately negates a lot of the self-discovery that happens in freshman year.

But besides the area of study / major I loved the college experience of being forced to be away from the sheltered environment of home (although college is sheltered and restrictive in it's own ways). Being able to recognize thought patterns and impulses that I always grew up with felt like being able to see new colours that I never knew existed.

Also being able to make friends - I don't take this for granted.When you are in an environment where you have 10x to 100x the number of people you went to high school with, it is much easier to find someone/ somoe group that you can gel with regardless of how many ever quirks you have. After all these years, my best friends are still the ones I made in college - not the ones before nor the ones that came after.

At the very least I'm grateful to my college education for making me less of an overconfident asshole who thought he knew it all, while at the same time boosting my confidence in other ways.

I understand that in many countries like the US, the exorbitant cost of uni education might make what I said look like nice-to-haves and luxuries but I'm happy for a change to be born in a place where I could afford to have this experience (while recognizing that many will not be privileged enough to experience even this :( )
It calls attention to the issue.
I don't get it either and probably never will.
Thank you for your kind words!
The docs are still readable on Github, fyi.
Yes, a great reminder we in tech can have material responses as well!
I see amp as improving the user experience of the internet as a whole. Amp sites aren't amazing, but they are usually better than the alternative.
The idea is to get YOU to care.
" Web developers have utterly squandered all efficiency gains"

It depends on how you measure efficiency.

Edit: I should add what I would thought would be obvious, and that it is that bloat is related to advertising which drives their bottom line, and I'm doubtful of any existing material alternatives to 'wired.com's already problematic ability to exist. Ergo, the bandwidth is set to optimise for things developers perceive to be inefficient, but not other members of the team.
Basil and Fabian – A Wizard and His Man (2014)
Man, props for this post and the subsequent discussions. It's eye-opening to read through everything. As a current university student, the COVID situation is awful. We're paying full tuition ($15k/year) for recorded Zoom lectures. I'm seriously considering taking a gap year. I wanted to complete research during my 4th year, but it's hard to get close to professors over sporadic interactions.
thanks for the explanation! though i have to say i only have a vague idea of "fine-grained reactivity", any pointers for reading about this or systems that work this way?

in particular, i don't quite get this bit:

> By comparison the mechanism they ape (fine grained reactivity) works exactly the opposite way. You just need to be aware the stuff outside doesn't update.

inside/outside of what?

PS. my yet undeveloped pet theory is that hooks are (somehow) something like half a monad/algebraic-effect-thingy... though they're probably too tied up with the render cycle to analyze them this way
Exactly the way it looks today, because most people aren't willing to pay for content.
> greater incentive for electric bikes

Greater incentive for any sort of bike or small/low-tech personal vehicle, imo
How did you know I read your blog? :P
If he thinks that is nefarious wait until he learns that websites were using visually hidden fields to surreptitiously capture browser auto-complete details. That is, if you auto complete "name" they might have an "email", "phone number", "address", etc. field hidden from your view that also get auto filled.

I sure hope that browser makers have patched that somehow but I still avoid auto-complete whenever possible.
I think that this is a nice gesture. For those who are puzzled, I think that they’re just trying to help us to keep our work and programming in perspective by providing a reminder where we might not expect it. If you really need to read the docs you can do it on github. Think of it as a PSA, maybe.
Yet someone has made the decision to do bundle them with the language and provide a default. I'm not suggesting we have common governance, but these decisions need to be made.
It's often in instructions on slickdeals.
I took a client's online store gross sales from ~$15K per year to over $250K per year and I can tell you for sure, capturing sales from abandoned carts is very real. Your reasons and actions don't reflect online costumers as a whole.
Even dictators often can’t get what they want. In order to maintain power they have to please others that allow the dictator to persist. I mean it’s a kind of symbiotic relationship.

In a republic it’s much much harder. People run on platforms but that doesn’t mean the rest of the legislators agree with them. Often people in HOAs can’t agree on things... and that’s the lowest form of government (well regulation).
Cars don’t really require all that much energy. A 15,000 mile per year car at 4 kWh per mile is 10.3 kWh per day. You can get that much solar power for the fraction of the price of the average new car.

Roads, human lives, traffic congestion, etc are much larger issues than energy. Over 20% of NYC is devoted to cars and they don’t even come close to covering the cities transportation needs.
I can speak several African languages and a few ethnic dialects(fairly common thing)indigenous to West Africa, but I consider myself, a native English speaker because I was educated entirely in English(It's the official language of my motherland).

With that being said, due to the high nature of abstraction when treating CS concepts, you'd be hard-pressed to find vocabulary built into an African language or dialect that could support any meaningful conversation on a CS topic. A few governments looked into it, but it's almost impossible to implement anything in local languages. Transliterating or translating directly from English doesn't generally work. Same for the francophone countries, and the majority of sub-Saharan Africa(including the Portuguese-speaking islands I've been to). You can have conversations in those dialects but you'll need to mix them up with English, and therefore, CS is mainly taught in English.

However, in North Africa and the League of Arab states, I've witnessed CS courses that were taught in Arabic, but the instructor had to default to English words to explain programming concept. It's usually a hilarious mix-match of English and Arabic that could be defined as a language on its own.
I mostly agree. I don't have a problem getting some ads targeted based on the info I provide. What I DO mind is FB following me all around the web, so the one time I was bored and randomly clicked on some cheesy ad for something I would never buy, FB has decided I must love that and show me tons of retargeting or related ads.

The thing that is so f*ing frustrating about both FB and Google is they could provide REALLY good targeted ads by only looking at stuff I provide (e.g. my submitted profile info, my search keywords). Instead they have to track everything I do to squeeze an extra X% out of their conversion numbers.
no

you're conflating not paying attention with not having torque on the wheel
#dcBlackout was trending on Twitter last night. How do you explain that? There were _tons_ of accounts I saw (many with Korean/Chinese avatars, which were probably fronts) that were spreading the same misinformation, often were a shrill tone of panic and conspiracy.

https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-dc-blackout-pro...

For the curious, this is called a Sybil attack.
> The driver is claiming he braked, not the car: "Huang says he slammed on the brakes once he noticed the truck, however, it was too late to stop the nearly two-ton sedan traveling at reportedly 68 miles per hour."

The pedestrian is seen in the image, and he has the reaction time to step aside to avoid collision from the Model 3, how was the driver not aware of that and only decided to brake after avoiding him (as seen with locking the brakes)?

This seems entirely negligent, and a combination of both user error as well as Tesla's failure in AP obstacle detection. Not sure how it plays out, but I hope it doesn't deter from AP being refined. I'm sure they will have the onboard footage to detect what the driver was focused on before the accident and it will be settled based on that.
Three versions. My point is that you can get the 13" with a 10th gen CPU. I know because I ordered one like a week ago.
Because it inconveniences and reaches people that otherwise are not impacted or avoid getting involved. Documentation is still available on Github - so really just a very little minor inconvenience.
Probably because there are less people, and therefor less recording phones in those places
What's the accident/distance driven now? How does it compare to a human?
I think it goes further than office location, if you do business in the EU at all you want to watch out.

Of course the main problem with the GDPR is that it's so far not really been enforced, so people feel free to contravene it at will.
Sometimes I'm interrupted or distracted and forget. Ended up checking on a guitar on sale that never arrived because I forgot to buy it.
Then I guess they are not good enough?! I use them (without other tools) and I'm happy, but do fairly simple python development. There's a reason many people choose other tools if these don't cover common cases.
Keep in mind the worst part of SpaceX: Elon Musk fanatics. If it's not aboard a SpaceX rocket, they would prefer that humanity be stuck on the planet forever. In their minds no other company is legitimate. If Musk has even as much as mumbled an idea in passing, it will 100% be done and done soon, probably by Tesla. No other company can do it. No other CEO has the intelligence.
Not everyone is stuck at home with no income. If I were working in the Bay Area for a company that was still doing ok, and I were already planning to move around now, I would definitely see this as an opportunity to get a good deal on rent by moving. Maybe some other people are thinking this. Or maybe they are thinking that there is no point moving elsewhere in the Bay Area and are moving further out.

Though I would certainly expect the number of transactions to decrease a lot.
So having a personal preference for the people you hook up with is now considered racist?

This is the problem. It has nothing to do with equal rights any longer. It's about forcing your beliefs onto me and then attempting to call me a racist when I disagree.
While "branch" is loaned in Korea, "implementation" is never loaned, the translation 구현 completely satisfied that demand. In my experience, there are better and worse translations of terms, and adoption mostly depends on quality of translation.

Edit: Additional explanation. 구현 roughly means "realization", which I think is a better term than even "implementation" itself. Word "implementation" in non-programming context is translated as 시행. In Korean, "implementing an interface" sounds wrong, compared to "realizing an interface".
