There is no way to 'push a new version of TCP', I believe that's one of the strong motivations for these protocols. Billions of devices and the world's entire network infrastructure would need to be upgraded, you'd only start seeing decent support after a decade. So you have to work with what we have - TCP and UDP.
How to introduce a analyzer in a legacy project and not to discourage the team
Winamp went downhill with Winamp 3 which was well before AOL bought it. Winamp 3 was a heavy mess. It sounds crazy today, but my slow Windows computer at the time could barely run Winamp 3 which led me to downloading iTunes!

iTunes on Windows used to be really great if you just wanted music. It used to be that iTunes was considered a Trojan horse to show Windows users how good Mac software was.

Amazing how times change.
Hey thank you! Our seo is terrible, that’s on me to help fix :-) If you need any help with Tesults please send me a message directly.

While we’re talking about the App Store in this thread web seo is it’s on minefield but at least it’s more open. If you use React and don’t think about seo deliberately from the outset things won’t go well as we’ve found out. We’re only recently adding helmet, prerendering and possibly ssr. On Google web search there’s other issues that affect smaller dev teams too. For example if you put in tesults, Google thinks you meant results and automatically show results for results. No one really clicks the ‘did you mean tesults?’ link. Most people did mean to type results and Google’s data shows that so they’re doing what’s best for users but it’s just another of those things that you have to contend with, part of the package :-)

The most shocking discovery has been black hat seo techniques that some sites seem to use that are still successful. Sometimes the ads in the first page results are the only honest thing there, the others are often just unmarked ads. Especially ones that list the best tools for this or that. We’ve been asked to pay regular monthly payments to appear in some of these lists that show up on Google. We’ve refused. Happy to pay for ads that are marked as ads but not to be part of or encourage deception.

Anyway improving seo is on me to sort out and is now a higher priority but up until recently our focus has been to massively improve the product over the last year with customer feedback.

Winamp was pretty nice until v3.

Version 3 was pretty shitty. I think they used new tech to build it and also replaced the UI.

Later they released v5, which was v2 UI + v3 tech, which was good again.

At least that's how I remember it.

It sounds like someone is impersonating you on Google’s services, you put Google on notice you are being impersonated (your Mark infringed) and as a result you are suffering (legal) damages and google’s official response acknowledges this and simultaneously says they have no duty to prohibit infringement of your mark on their services and they have no duty to provide accurate information to their end users/the public.

In other words in the old phone book days, imagine if you were to list your business in the phone book but next to your business was a competitors phone number so they get all your business...you put the phone book on notice and they just say sorry we have no duty to provide accurate information.

Many have said get a lawyer to send a letter...that’s a waste of time while you will continue to be damaged. Get a lawyer to file a small claims case for damages and injunction. A few benefits: 1) you could probably get a lawyer to do it on contingency (no out of pocket expenses for you, they would get a % of damages if and only if they win); 2) small claims cases can often fly under the radar of big companies and so maybe as soon as 20 days after filing you get a default judgment; 3) if the do respond a small claims case means 1 thing to them, their attorney’s fees will exceed your damages so they will probably look into it and resolve it; 4) if they want to fight it (which would be stupid if your claims are legit) small claims are extremely expedited, typically there is no formal discovery and it’s just a pretrial (where the parties will be encouraged to settle) and then a trial (possibly a mandatory mediation at pretrial or at the court on the day of the trial).

>"web browser" the reason you are not commenting this from IE is because of law makers that stopped Microsoft abuse, the reason Intel is not a monopoly and charge you 2 times more for 10 times less is because lawmakers prevented it.

Did you even try to be honest? In no way Microsoft did ever prevent competitor browsers from being installed. Nobody forced, forces or will force you to use IE, no matter the EU. It was typical EU bureaucratic socialist bs, doing the thinking for the user and of course in the end just sucking rich American tit by fining because they create nothing and just want to run those who do. Just like Soviet Union.

Also, I don't need "Mother EUSSR" telling me who collects data/uses cookies and ruining overall browsing experience. It's funny how their efforts are actually counter productive, because it's near impossible to browse the net in private mode (the one thing that ACTUALLY prevents data collection, not the useless cookie agreement pop-ups).

"no racial bias in police shootings" is something I've seen from a few studies. It all depends on how you define "racial bias", of course.

ask hn) PC/servers, why don't we have externalized power and battery-modules?
someone told me "laptop batteries are basically built-in UPS"... and I came to wonder, why don't we have a set-up like:

external-power-supply (like laptops, but bigger, that does AC --> DC)

--> external battery (stores DC, outputs DC. Also, much more easily replaceable)

--> actual server/desktop

(+ some power-negotiation / other stuff going on between 1-2-3)

without UPS-set-up's AC->DC->AC step, there'll be some few power-saves (like 10%?).
And the set-up will be much more cheaper/replaceable...

why don't we have this yet? is this something impossible? Or did someone else try and failed?

Yep, it's ALL about the money, and there are always dark forces trying to silence the cheap and easy medicines so the profit barons can screw the public out of billions for their fancy drugs that in the case of Remdesivir only lessen the average length of sickness by 10%.

The Russians are incorporating alpha interferon nose sprays 3x per day into their hospital regimens, and research has already been published showing the covid19 virus interferes with natural interferon production in the human body.
No they can't. I mean they can, but you can literally sue anyone for anything. Doesn't mean you're right or entitled to compensation of any kind, especially in this case. In fact, the owner of the website (OP) can sue the listing "owner" and Google and probably get something, but it's not proportional to the effort and wasted time + money.

Nah, this is from my day job so it's a proprietary closed source thing. Supposedly the CI speed issues are because the CI has to start with cold caches every run (we use Gitlab pipelines that run in docker containers) whereas the IDE has the caches on hand. Something about the way our devops has set up the Gitlab runners makes enabling shared cache much hard than it should be so I haven't had the chance to test that. I don't think I ever tried limiting it to only changed files, that's worth a shot.

Barely. In order with your requirements, Master Password offers:

- A choice between a few different password types (numerical, short, long, complex, phrase) for picky sites. It relies on you to remember which password type you used for which site.

- A counter you can increment arbitrarily to generate new passwords for a given site. Again, relies on you to remember that you're on password #3 for site X, password #5 for site Y, ...

I haven't reached a point where I've had to make heavy use of these features (yet) but if you use lots of picky sites, or change passwords very often, certain limitations will become apparent.

If it's any consolation, passwords generated by Master Password tend to have a unique phonetic cadence -- that is to say, once you're familiar with the first or second syllable of your password for a given site, you'll know pretty much instantly if you're looking at the right one, despite not being able to reproduce the entire string from memory.

This might make it easier to increment the counter several times in quick succession while being able to conclusively discard passwords that don't "sound right".

YMMV of course. If this sounds like something you'd hate to do, Master Password may not be a viable solution.

The Java-based desktop app somewhat solves these issues by (optionally) caching encrypted data about your passwords (site names, password types, and counters) on disk. However this could possibly end up defeating the point of "doesn't rely on any specific device", if the user grows to become reliant on the cached data.

I would guess it's because it's expensive to have a lot of DC power on long distances.

On a smaller scale, I remember the fist generation of the online.net dedibox to have one power supply for two servers. I don't know whether it was a good idea, I think they haven't done it since.
It’s kind of both. More people in smaller places means more of the amenities and lifestyle of bigger cities without the cost and hassle. Will there be a massive outmigration? Probably not sufficiently to make NYC a ghost town, but it could absolutely turn second and third tier cities into places where a lot more people want to live. There are a sufficient number of people that move specifically for jobs, but would be happy to live in a smaller place. Even if that’s 5% or 10% of professionals, that’s still a huge impact on the communities they move to.
Ah. The idea being that if you actually want to make a big withdrawal from your bank account in cash, you do it through Brinks, since your bank itself wouldn’t want to handle that much cash in one place?

Side note: in the first episode of Ozark, the main character withdraws millions from his bank account in cash just by giving them 48 hours notice. The FBI is there to ask him if he’s being coerced and the bank seems reluctant to let him walk out with it until he threatens to start a bank run.

> the languages are significantly simpler than Haskell

I don't think that's quite true.

Ocaml has plenty of advanced features (the module system, GADT, structural typing in the object system) but the community relationship with them is very different than how the Haskell community uses the language. For the most part, the Ocaml community tends to dislike gratuitous complexity and be non dogmatic (I fondly remember a lens library announcement on which the top comment could be boiled down to "just use mutations").

> My only gripe with them is that there seems to be a culture of having zero type annotations (due to HM), which can make reading other people's code difficult.

Interfaces tend to be annotated (mli files) but usually people rely on the tooling to know types inside files. Merlin is a blessing. It is a very fast type-checker which keeps working on incorrect files.
I don't think they're exactly comparable. Ditching PPC (and I was working at Apple at this time) was a bold move. The existing Apple loyal user base -- which Jobs wisely knew was irrelevant -- loved having a "different" "Supercomputer" CPU at the heart of their computer instead of the "slow-as-a-snail" Intel. Jobs knew it was better to appeal to the rest of the world than be true to the "true believers" -- who would have been happy with OS9, too. But it was taking a risk:

To the True Believers it didn't matter that by this time ~2003, Intel was fast and much more power efficient. You'd be lucky to get 40 minutes of battery life from a PowerPC based Mac laptop at the time when Intel laptops could run for a few hours.

Today, Apple doesn't have a core group of users who are "proud" of their unique CPUs, and isn't fighting an uphill battle as they were in 2003-2005 or so. However, sometimes they choose a tech for "stubborn" reasons rather than technical ones and it's not clear if the ARM decision is made for the right reasons. For example: I think not choosing NVidia, especially for the Mac Pro, was a big mistake and costs them customers.

They can claim them but I very much doubt they'd win in court - "we're infringing someone's Trademark and impersonating them on Google and they redirected traffic on their own website and that redirection is harming our ability to fraudulently profit from their trademark" ... kinda like suing someone you murdered because they made your knife messy.

I do not support this change since it has nothing - and I mean absolutely nothing - to do with race, racism, insensitivity or otherwise abusive behaviour. Both words appear in the dictionary as they are, normal words without any racial connotation. Both words have been in use for a very long time. The insinuation that the use of these words is in any way racially insensitive is not just nonsensical, it is a way to gain control of the narrative by a politically motivated party. Control over the narrative gives power [1]:

Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present, controls the past [2].
