> What they've missed is the "yet" part of "hasn't been banned yet" -- that other account may be banned in future, or if they drop the destructive behaviour they may have all the measures removed.

That's a problem though. If you let some murderers roam free and when somebody says "you arrested me when I murdered somebody, why aren't you arresting them", you say "hey, you don't know that we don't arrest them, we're just haven't arrested them yet. Please wait 100 years to see whether we really don't arrest them".

I don't know what the original comment was about etc, but "maybe it'll eventually be consistent" isn't a good answer to claims of inconsistency. Maybe it will, but it probably won't. If behavior is treated differently, the best prediction is that it will continue to be treated differently.
c. Probably because Windows has gained native sandboxing mechanisms to cover majority of common use cases.

I wonder if this new incarnation of Sandboxie uses any of them.
It is, but what I'm suggesting is that a scraper identifies itself as such in the user agent and complies with the robots exclusion standard. Google's crawlers recognise that `googlebot` - among other strings - refers to them, and a scraper should behave similarly if it doesn't want to be seen as malicious. I think scrapers should be legal, but just like crawlers, they should comply with a directive that says they aren't welcome.

And on the topic of trivial workarounds, it's even more trivial to just ignore the robots.txt and scrape away, but that's what malicious bots performing questionable activities do. One would hope a newsbot is being civil and not behaving in a shady manner, but alas, I don't for one moment think any of these news publishers have even heard of a robots.txt

In my experience, men will generally be overtly hostile/assholes.

Women will be nice to your face and then try to destroy your reputation behind your back.

It’s actually impressive that some groups can all gossip together about the one person that isn’t there, and somehow all expect that they are the exception to that rule (e.g. nobody hates them behind their back). I honestly do not understand how those relationships are supposed to work (but they do, or all of them are just deeply unhappy about the whole thing but don’t know how to leave).
> When I first began to study polymaths, I was excited to see a template for a life I didn’t know I was living. But when I started to embrace the polymath identity, my inner critics appeared. I wondered whether I’m even qualified to write about polymaths, let alone call myself one.

Then why not just go on cultivating diverse interests -- which is really what this blog post is about, and which seems like a fine idea -- and sidestep all of this "polymath" business? Why make it harder by picking the grandest label you can find and then worrying about whether you qualify?

A lot of validation framework doesn't pass `path` (key is not enough in complex situations) to rules to achieve cross-field validation.

> google search used to be the best in my native language, but these days I find myself doing !g less and less on DuckDuckGo, again not really because of privacy concerns but because the whole first page of my google search results are commercials for places that I’m not going to use.

Of course we're discussing anecdotal evidences here, and Google searches have deteriorated for me, too, but for a lot of things DuckDuckGo fails to find the most relevant results and I tend to use !g quite often (~20% of the time). This might be due to SEO fighting making Googles results less relevant, but DDG is not steeled against this either.

I agree on your general point, though; Google has lost a lot of competitive headway. On the other hand, however, it still has a lot of market penetration: YouTube is the largest video platform by far, Google search is "the internet" to a lot of people and while Android is technically a free OS, it practically belongs to Google. Also, there's still gmail, and for people to take the effort of switching mails takes quite some convincing.

> There's a basic reason for that, namely you can't memcpy a self-referential structure while keeping desired semantics.

You actually can! For instance, consider a struct with two fields: a Vec<T>, and a &T which references one of the elements of the Vec. Moving the struct (which does the memcpy) does not reallocate the Vec, so the reference in the &T would still be valid. But as far as I know there's no way to represent that in safe Rust; the &T in the struct requires a lifetime, and there's no way to represent "the lifetime of the other field" or even "the lifetime of the struct itself" (something like &'self T).

Yeah, you can use an index in my example (replacing the &T by an usize, and looking up on the Vec every time), but it's not a perfect replacement. A reference would always be valid (and always pointing to the same element), while an index can become invalid if the Vec is truncated, or point to a wrong element if an element is inserted or removed before it in the Vec.
Matomo (ex Piwik) does have an "importer" for search keywords (from GA and Bing and maybe something else) but it's not free: https://plugins.matomo.org/SearchEngineKeywordsPerformance

Ask HN: Career pathway for a lead digital analyst
Hi. I work for a retail company as a lead digital analyst. I have around 5 years of experience having worked on technologies such as Google BigQuery, Google Analytics, Snowflake, Splunk, IBM Tealeaf, Data Studio, Tableau, Google Tag Manager and so on. I also do a a bit of business analysis and work with vendors like Google Cloud partner. I wanted some advice on what to choose as an ideal career pathway from here. I know it depends on what I want to do next but would like to know the opinion from people with a similar experience.

I get that she was actually a nice person who simply didn't know when .NET was invented. But I do not accept that she made a harmless and easily fixed error on the job requirements because of this.

Frankly, I'm not that concerned that the job requirements demanded more years of .NET experience then it was possible to have. I am more concerned about all the other requirements that were listed on that job description which were just as wrong but in a way that was not obvious.

Consider the analogy to all of the exonerations of convicted prisoners we have had since DNA analysis became possible. The minor problem is that hundreds of innocent people were held in prison for years before DNA analysis proved they were innocent. The bigger problem is that we have now demonstrated that the legal process has a significant rate of error, meaning that there are tens of thousands of innocent people serving years in prison whose cases didn't happen to permit exoneration by DNA.

That line in the job requirements that specifies you must have a college degree -- is that unnecessarily excluding a lot of qualified candidates? The general tendency to request more expertise and years of experience than are really needed -- is that driving off candidates with lower levels of self-aggrandizement? If it is, does that have anything to do with the deplorable number of women succeeding in our industry?

Asking for 12 years experience in Kubernetes isn't just a silly error: it is an unmistakable sign of a much deeper problem.

I am dealing with sleep issues right now. My 2 game changing habits are:

- melatonin

- doing my best to wake up at 06:00.

In reality, I wake up at 07:00 or even 09:00 but it is guaranteed to save me a few hours of sleep deprivation. In general with these 2 “tricks” I have 2 hours less sleep deprivation than normal. They also have a lot of synergies.

One other thing I am now thinking about is to have a color coded night light with red (you have to sleep), orange (you can wake up if you’re wide awake and truly can’t sleep) and green (you’re in the wake up zone) as color codes. By doing this, I wouldn’t feel the need to check my time at night. Or maybe I should program an app that has some Siri integration (if that’s possible, probably isn’t). By having this, I wouldn’t feel inclined to check the time.

Oh, and this would be alongside an alarm.
The examples you mentioned are a tiny number of public works, that do not represent anything but what they are: very well known isolated cases.

> I really enjoy my nights.

Yes, it's very seductive. Until I had a family I didn't see anything wrong with it, that was just an out-of-phase life but it worked well enough for me. Having kids and a business makes it a lot harder to live like that, and working until you drop is an easy way to mask the fact that I had serious problems falling asleep, either at a normal time or even at all. Working until exhaustion seemed like a pretty efficient fix, I'd get a lot done and eventually did get my sleep though not nearly enough of it.

The damage is cumulative as far as I understand it now and even though it gave me an edge for a while I wonder if the price was worth it. Maybe get that book from the library and read up on it (and some critiques of the book as well, it's not all equally solid), then make up your mind as to what is the best approach for your?

A gold standard doesn't prevent manipulation of interest rates. The Federal Reserve manipulated interest rates while on a gold standard. One of the reasons they would increase or decrease interest rates was to manage the desired gold stock.

The reason the US abandoned the gold standard was the (inevitable) failure of centralized fractional-reserve banking. By 1971 the U.S. was effectively insolvent in its ability to cover foreign holdings, and feared a run on the dollar. U.S. gold reserves couldn't keep pace with the expanding money supply and increasing demands by foreign holders for redemption of their dollars.

> Finally, the world is asleep and even a person who has trouble focusing in the face of distraction has a chance of getting something done.

"The world is asleep" is basically my definition of serene and peaceful.

---

A while back, there was a national holiday, so I had the day off. I didn't actually have anything I wanted to do with that day, so I used it to plan out my next work project. It was a very productive day where I went from being very unsure of how to do the project to having a blueprint that directed what I did for months to come. The project would be in a much worse place if it weren't for the thinking I was able to do on that one day.

It wasn't a productive day in the sense that I got a lot of things done (my usual definition of productivity), but it was productive in the sense that I got some important, deep thinking done. It's rare to get a chance to do such deep thinking.

This kind of productivity is hard to achieve in the face of distractions. But I think it is actually worse than that: It is hard to achieve when there is even a _risk_ of distractions. When my brain knows that someone could demand my attention at any time, it seems to limit the amount of working memory, focus, and time I can spent thinking about something.

But if I know that I don't have to pay attention to interruptions, the problem I'm thinking about can take over and I can spend time swimming in the problem instead of just splashing my toes in.

All this is a long-winded way of saying that knowing you _might_ be interrupted can be almost as bad as actually being interrupted.
> if the world was still on a gold standard, then the gov't couldn't have printed stimulus packages

Sure they could, borrowing is still allowed. And the government can just declare "property rights are lovely but we're suspending them in this emergency, here are some IOU for after we raise taxes to cover this". Which would have a largely equivalent effect in real terms to money printing but much easier to understand.

> Fiat is only as good as the gov't handling it.

The government is consistently made up of financial incompetents. Most governments struggle to deliver a balanced budget when they try. All the people who know how to make good financial decisions are in private industry making them.
When they started this "support" I got worried for a while as I thought of a new strategy where MS uses their wallets to make Windows a first class citizen for a myriad of OSS software, possibly at the cost of FLOSS platforms. They did this for several runtimes ( e.g. openjdk, incredibly enough).

Us programmers tend to be very literal-minded, but my understanding is that in some parts of the Middle East, it is common to exaggerate numbers to provide emphasis, where it’s understood that it’s not to be taken literally. So maybe they just wanted someone with “a lot” of experience in Kubernetes.

The tl;dr is: Microsoft will stop building the .exe's themselves, but PHP will still happily run on Windows. The community will most likely step in and build those binaries themselves.

Not affiliated with Google or CNCF but I've noticed too that it is ran as a business and so are their meetups all over the world. They also have a gigantic staff for what they do and it's obvious at this point that they must be paying themselves very well. It is also very disappointing that their events are so expensive indeed for a non-profit given that they have such a huge amount of sponsors https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudnativecon-no...

I run a conference myself and we manage to be 3 times cheaper with only 8 sponsors and we take care of travel and lodging for speakers. With the amount of sponsors they get, they could get away with $10 tickets like PyCon Europe which is free for all and still take care of travel and lodging for speakers. When Google gave Kubernetes for free to CNCF non profit, I don't think this is what they had in mind and may be why they went with OUC instead.

> That line in the job requirements that specifies you must have a college degree -- is that unnecessarily excluding a lot of qualified candidates?

Outside of careers requiring vocational degrees (like engineering), yes - but for any job posting simply requiring a degree (any degree) has a valuable selective effect of eliminating swathes of objectively unqualified and less-qualified candidates and thus shrinking the pool of people you'd need to call-in for an on-site interview - even though many objectively qualified but non-degree-holding candidates would be eliminated unfairly.

It's a trade-off based around how much value you assign to your recruiter's time.
