I think Microsoft's strategy (I work there, but I don't have any special knowledge of this) is to be the best possible platform for development in general, not just machine learning. That's why they bought GitHub, and it's also why they have WSL, remote debugging on Linux, etc. I expect they will go wherever they think developers want to be to achieve that goal.

I can see this hurting traditional Linux graphics systems and development tooling, but I think the main dynamic driving this is not proprietary-vs-open, it's Microsoft's ability to coordinate large numbers of developers, because they have a massively more united org than random hobbyists.

If you combined all of the efforts of all of the people working on Linux tools for the past 20 years and got them working on the same thing, it would probably be an amazing stack, and Microsoft would probably just support it. Instead, the open source efforts have been scattered among a lot of different ideas, which means there hasn't been a single windowing toolkit, IDE, or whatever for people to rally around and all contribute to. And as a result, Microsoft can show up, get a few hundred people pulling in the same direction, and have the market-leading product not through any dirty tricks, but just by putting in more coordinated effort than anyone else.

At some point, there must have been this conversation with select few people in which you together decided to start the business. These are potentially your co-founders. In the next few weeks/months, you may expand that list, but I believe the co-founders are the ones that take the highest risk to co-found the company in face of high ambiguity and risk.

A good split of responsibilities is that each co-founder has a Cxx role (not necessarily a title). You generally need to fill the roles of a CEO, CFO, COO, CPO, CTO and CMO. This doesn't mean you need this many co-founders, as some roles can be merged, but the responsibilities most likely have to be distributed.

On one of my old devices, I still have an old version of Safari (which fails to update) and when I open Google it asks to accept some terms, but their JavaScript is "modern" so I cannot click that dialog away. So, I'm switched to DDG on it and it works fine for general search, esp. as it seems less attacked by "SEO optimized" spam sites. But Google is still better in some areas. Like when I check something that has a date+time as an answer, Google computes it into my timezone. And non-English search is much, much better in Google.
I think it’s because US / UK security services are just as ruthless and bloody, they just cover it up better. I doubt anyone here disputes the extreme moral failure of Russian state security. It’s just that we should be much more skeptical of countries that are just as bloody and flippant in their lack of concern for human life or decency, like US & UK.

Kids these days and their priorities.
Also, I get the impression there’s an inherent lifetime to these things. If it works for 50 years, you’d consider yourself happy with the result.

It’s like changing your roof; it lasts long enough that you can consider it maintenance-free and only just be wrong (it’ll be a nasty surprise if you buy a very old home without considering when it was done last).

Usually, what will happen is that someone builds an indoors living space in a cellar where this is sub-par and there’s only been chilly storage rooms before, and then get mold in the plaster walls after a few years. The next owner discovers the problem and gets the resulting bill and lawsuit.

The few people knowledgable enough will avoid these houses, while those who don’t are happy that they seem surprisingly cheap.
I use DDG and I usually have a pretty ok time without swapping back to google, or when I do I frequently don't have a better time (although much of the time I do!). Also for programming, DDG has a really nice stack overflow custom result.

But yes 1000% bangs are worth everything. Even if DDG weren't a search engine, bangs would be enough for me to use it as a meta engine. I still use a lot of google products so they're also super intuitive - g! is google, and if I guess I can usually get the google service I want: gm! maps, gn! news, gi! images (unfortunately gs! is shopping, not scholar which is gsc!).

And the thing about bangs is that I bet google won't implement them in such an easy way, since they wouldn't want to have unpredictable behavior for non-power users (and would never think of redirecting users before the search page)

Bangs are an absolute game changer, and they're muscle memory now so I end up throwing them into google accidentally. Some of my other common ones are a! amazon, w! wikipedia, yt! youtube, i! DDG images, and n! DDG news.

If you can't remember which is which, this is a good indication that the names don't matter, and in fact they don't, because it's an artifact of the way you need to write the grammar.

I'm much more in favor of Exp/Exp2/Exp3.
I’ve rarely had an issue with DDG results.

In fact they are way better if the result I want isn’t the topmost one because DDG displays far more results than what Google does on a page.

While I definitely believe in not having all my information with Google I’m pretty sure that’s not driving my decision because I have switched away from DDG in the past where it wasn’t meeting my needs.
My grandparents' house had a basement, which was cold but it was never damp. As kids we loved playing in it.

The thing is looking back I realise that the entire "ground floor" of the house was raised a good 6 feet up, so the basement only went a short distance into/under the ground. In fact the basement had a door which led straight out into the rear garden. (The "official" back door of the house was at the top of a flight of stairs). So that's how you build a basement that doesn't get damp :-)

In London this seems to be quite a common design for Victorian-era houses which is why many basement flats have access to the rear garden.
Besides having an actual return on that investment in terms of lower opex once it is realized.

I posted something similar a few months back[1] - since then, I have ditched Dropbox.

I felt like they really weren't interested in me as a consumer.

I have switched to OneDrive. I already had a subscription to Office 365 (Home), so I've not spent any extra. I can't complain so far. It actually feels like a consumer product.

Well. The less you know about how and what bureaucracy does, the less can you ask yourself why does it exist in the first place. And the more bureaucrats can keep their pointless jobs.

I don’t disagree with your point that there’s shared responsibility.

But a big reason the welders aren’t the focus of the blame is that they were the first ones to die in the explosion.

The consequences for PG&E were simply 4 millions here, which is a ridiculously small amount.

Also, you don’t treat individuals and companies the same way.
DDG is more willing to stick a stackoverflow answer at the top, which is usually what I want. When the issue becomes more language-specific or obscure then I have to resort to !g.
I can't remember if it was iOS/OSX or something else, but I had a situation where I'd backed up my device before migrating to new hardware, set an alarm, then restored to the new device from the backup.

Of course, the backup predated the alarm being set, so it never went off on the new device. Took me a while to realise why...
What Is Container Operating System: Fedora CoreOS Intro
Android One held lots of potential, but Google managed to stuff that up too. They need to wrestle back control over the OS from the OEMs. Until they do, Android handsets will be disposable beyond a life of 2 years.

Ironically, a company that understands that model is Microsoft. It's a pity they aren't competition for Apple in this space yet. As an iPhone/Macbook Pro/iPad user, I am eyeing the Surface Go 2 w/WSL as a potential future replacement for the iPad.

Where ever you like. As the founder, you get to draw that line.

There are examples of different perspectives that you can apply through this thread, but as the founder(s) it is part of your job to decide this.
That is a very good point. Problem is that the enthusiasts are the young people across Europe and not exactly a minority. That is a 50:50 or 60:40 thing.

So when you satisfy on group (good enough) you will make the the other half unhappy.
I don't really see "founder" as a job role in the company, it's just a thing the media say when they want to denote you as being there since for the formation of the company. Past that you'll have actual job roles such as CEO, Managing Director, CTO, CFO, Finance Director, etc.

If you want to get specific, I would say that founders will probably have their names over initial incorporation documents and the stock grants during the formation.
Wow, I'm totally hearing Krigsgaldr (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRg_8NNPTD8) in this, who inspired who?
I tend to use the Firefox Search Box to access multiple search engines. Some may consider that a more convenient than using !bangs. DDG is one of the many options I have set-up but I can go straight to others from there.

> how do you decide who is actually a co-founder viz-a-viz an early employee with equity

Co-founders share both equity and liability, and their names appear on the legal documents regarding the company foundation.

Employees (whether early or late) do not.
Absolutely. The way the same comments are rapid-fire added to these threads every time is deeply suspicious and a great cause for concern.

This should be one of the top comments, it’s not reasonable to disagree with this worry given the commenter behavior on this thread and all the previous iterations.
> I can't trust his reporting to be factual. We should find other sources.

No major news source is covering this to the extent Craig Murray is. That in itself should be more worrying than Murray's views on other matters. His reporting on Assange has been very good. There are other sources, but I doubt they diverge much from what Murray's reporting. See for example Kevin Gosztola's reporting: https://dissenter.substack.com

In fact I think EU should take few steps back: the perfect state was before Lisbon treaty, when EU was basically just a free trade zone. Since Lisbon they try to make it a single country, with unified policy on international affairs, military, etc, which doesn't make sense.
Given that "Unfortunately the migration is done by disabling your existing alarm and showing a button to open the Health app to set it up again." this sounds more like improperly specified behavior than poorly implemented behavior to me. Unfortunately bad specifications aren't really caught in QA testing because that's what you're testing to. This probably should have been caught in beta testing, but the author might have a rare set of conditions that resulted in this behavior.
Good beta testing is basically only done by have a really large userbase of testers. That said if apple wanted to improve this they probably have the capital to incentivize it through service discounts or something similar.

How to build a 3D flight tracker in the browser
TL;DR of how it works:

- Collect some radar samples of aircraft (latitude/longitude/height).

- Here we're using samples of a particular flight from SF to Copenhagen from FlightRadar24.

- Use CesiumJS to reconstruct the path on 3D globe.

- Add satellite imagery, global 3D terrain, and 3D buildings for context.

- These can be from any source/standard format. This tutorial is loading these from Cesium ion.

You can get the raw radar samples from FlightRadar24 in step 3 if you want to try your hand at visualizing this in other ways.

Before I bought a robotic vacuum cleaner, I read lots of reviews from people saying it wasn't as good as vacuuming manually. It misses areas, it has a hard time in corners, it takes forever. I bought it anyway. The simple fact is it doesn't matter how much worse it is than vacuuming, because I'm not vacuuming.

I kind of feel that way about DuckDuckGo. Instead of lazyness, I guess you'd call it ideological purity. I don't care how much worse DuckDuckGo is than Google. It doesn't matter. The simple fact is the privacy implications of Google make it a deal breaker, so I'll use any alternative no matter how much worse it is.

In my mind they're not even competing services. Just like comparing a robotic vacuum to manual vacuuming. It's like saying "What's better, a square or the color yellow?" It doesn't compute.

I'd be lying if I said I never use !g. I do, when I don't find what I'm looking for and feel like I should. Half the time, I don't find what I wanted on Google either. I always hesitate though, thinking "Do I want Google to log this about me?" I rarely hesitate when searching with DuckDuckGo. There's a certain comfort and peace of mind that is worth any drop in the quality of search results.

I think part of it has to do with the “style” people use to search. I’ve found searching DDG with how I searched google in 2010 to work well. Modern “magic” google searches don’t work as well, it’s more throwing key words together.
True. In my experience though, it tends to work out. If 100 people are affected by a bug it's a drop in the ocean in the grand scheme of things, but now you only need a 1 in 100 chance of someone being up to the task! And the others can help with info and testing along the way.
I would add, having helped with some houses relatives were building, that usually a fabric filter is put in as well, usually multiple layers, so that dirt has no chance of sneaking into the gravel. The cellars also have accessible pipes that can let water leave the cellar easily (installed at the lowest point of the cellar, so the floor is slightly tilted, as well as a replacable one-way valve to keep water from coming in the same way (IIRC it's weight activated, it only drains if more than about a liter of water is inside the pipe wanting to go out.

They still aren’t building out their own in-house search & machine learning systems. It’s very disappointing. Until they are willing to invest significant money & staffing to do that, the quality is just going to continue to be too poor.

What would you do if you want to learn a new subject? I would probably Google it. That’s how we started this project.

I want to learn a new subject.

But I realized how frustrating it is to find resources. You need to waste time on all the meaningless resources. Just to find one or two worthy ones.

Actually, me and my co-founder Tolga felt this way. How couldn’t we realize this before?

Perhaps we never questioned.

The internet is a mess. When you really pay attention to it.

But, imagine having a structured list of resources from the entire web. Wouldn’t it be easier to learn new things?

That’s why we created Jooseph! We can help each other to learn new skills through curated collections.

It’s a place where you can find and share curated learning paths. That’s it.

You’ll learn new things with structured learning lists from other users. Or you’ll create your own to share with others.

Today we're launching totally new approach with Jooseph.

Stephen Wolfram's History of Not Playing Well with Others
I was using ddg before recently switching to runnaroo for a couple of months now.

Runnaroo seems to always surface wikipedia, stack overflow and github which is almost always what I'm looking for. And if it's not there a quick scroll to the bottom gives me a Google link I can click.

Like others, using ddg previously have trained me to add !g automatically meaning I almost never looked at ddg. I can still add !g to runnaroo but since i know google (or ddg) is just a quick swipe away I never type it.

I would definitely move back to ddg (anything but google) if I ever have a reason to stop using runnaroo.
