Google first, since it's personalized. Then check dogpile.com for anything Google might suppress due to its obvious political bias. Works great for me.

In general, punish a monopoly by using a competitor, not by boycotting the monopoly. You're supporting an eventual threat to the monopoly, which monopolists hate, because it erodes their long-term advantage. That's why they spend so much buying up small competitors. They're afraid.

Doing yourself the injury of avoiding the monopoly platform completely is something they would do to punish you if they could, to discourage others from patronizing competitors.
Chinese growth is slowing every year. It's an open question if they'll ever surpass it.

This just brought back almost 20yr old memories of the Rock and Roll Confidential Hall of Douchebags which is sadly no longer online but does exist in the archive:

I hope something changes there,

For stable releases, there is an RFC [1] that proposes to push back the .03 releases to .05 and the .09 releases to .11. This will align the release cycle of NixOS after that of Ubuntu and Fedora. Hopefully, this will lessen the load on testing/fixing high-profile package sets (systemd, GNOME, KDE) and as a consequence leave more time/manpower fixing the longer tail.

even if it means cutting 80% of the packages out of the official repo

There are different opinions on that. Some contributors believe in a large, single monorepo, while others think nixpkgs is too large.

Personally, I have moved from the first group to the second. There are many packages with probably only a handful of users, but they clog up the PR stream. Even worse, many of those packages do not have active maintainers, so they end up being maintained by people who are long-term nixpkgs maintainers/committers (and typically have a high maintenance load anyway).

It's kind of interesting that nixpkgs grew so large, because it's one of the distributions that makes it the easiest to add third-party package sets. I guess it's because the bar for contributing a derivation is low (you basically open a PR and wait until somebody merges it) and because committers rarely reject packages for being to much of a fringe package.

Here's one example of this kind of opportunistic shoplifting[1], though for online retail purposes, not open air markets. Those most certainly do exist in San Francisco, though. Wander (In better times, not so much with Covid) the Mission District, Outer Richmond, the Haight - Just off the beaten path will be street vendors.

You should have picked better examples like the censorship of the photos of inside the detention centre used to keep the now-orphaned kids that the US split from their parents at the Mexico border and now can’t find the parents.

Or the US involvement in civilian deaths in Yemen.

Your examples both got proper smack downs. My examples are still censored - you or i have never seen pictures of the conditions the kids are stored in (and if you think you have, double check its authenticity). Would be reporters for the Yemen are suppressed well before there’s any risk of them deciding to just skip mainstream media and post online instead. End result is an information vacuum and we can’t have an informed discussion because neither you nor i knows what’s actually happening.
Apple would have to do the work to modify their software to support multiple stores, and they’d have to support the code for that going forward.

They’d be doing that instead of something else productive that I could use.

So it’s a loss to me and other Apple users who appreciate the curated system at the moment.

Your analogy is ‘prevent’ but really it’s ‘not want to do the work to enable’. See how that’s not the same thing? Instead of 'not preventing someone opening a new shop in the village' you're asking them to cut a hole in the side of their store so someone in a greasy food cart can connect up to it and sell smelly burgers with poor food hygiene standards in the middle of their boutique, and then maintain that hole going forward.

They don't want to do that! Many of their customers don't want that! Those customers that do want it can go somewhere else, like Android!
On the other hand, taking existing empirical data and extrapolating linearly from it seems like a bad idea in this case. There are obvious limits to how much latent demand is there. IIRC, we never did a proper experiment of suddenly e.g. quintupling the capacity of some major congested road.

That said, I think the source of this paradox is ultimately not in the road one is thinking of expanding, but in all the connections between it and other roads. It buys you little to turn one lane into five if all the exits are still the same capacity.

I'm not sure you can only see this in the light of 'more features'. From a more fundamental perspective GATs just lift a restriction.

Rust already has generics and Rust already has associated types. Previously you needed to know/remember those features cannot interact for some reason, now they can. To me this is in a sense 'less' and not 'more'.

So, a matter of perspective I guess.
Recite – A Tool to Check Your Memorization of the Quran
You didn’t identify certifi, urllib3, chardet or pytz in your top 10 critical Python dependencies. These are all highly download packages, mostly maintained by one person, which are totally critical to millions of other packages and the Python ecosystem as a whole.

A few of your top-10 I can agree with, but when you’re saying a home-automation package (“core”) is
more critical than something like pytz then something has gone terribly wrong.
Good point; this is in addition to their other missteps and contributes to the problem. The early web was less commercial, so phasing out old results pushes ever harder for commercial results over others.
Yes, but we all draw lines between what we do and don't give moral consideration to. For non-living things, like rocks or water molecules, we offer no direct moral consideration (ignoring potential indirect effects). Unicellular organisms merit the same lack of consideration, in my opinion, given our current scientific understanding. The scientific understanding may change in the future, but that's my current stance.

We are all one conglomerated living creature - the many twisting branches of the LUCA - but over time different aspects of this creature emerged with varying levels of complexity and information processing capability. One could argue that a lot of our atoms come from stars, so why treat ourselves any differently from stars, or that all matter and energy in the universe is just the offspring of a unified low-entropy blob at the Big Bang, so what difference does any of it make anyway.

There is some logical truth to this reasoning, but if we assume sentience to have at least some effectively non-illusory component, then I think it makes sense to consider sentient systems very differently from non-sentient or almost-non-sentient ones.
I heard NVMe over Fabric was that thing that would transform storage in the future. Network storage near the latency and throughput of local storage, but with the flexibility and redundancy.
> There may still be a truth of the matter about the value of `BB(800)`

The reason for independence of ZFC is that ZFC fails to prove "TM M doesn't halt", for some non-halting 800-state Turing Machine M. It has no problem proving the halting of the busy beaver machine in BB(800) steps.

Unlike the birth-time of Caesar, BB(800) is still well-defined and an "exact figure", because we consider the notion of whether any particular Turing Machine halts or not to be well-defined.
The target.com partnership ended more than 9 years ago. That being said, the replacement for Amazon fulfillment seems to be a laundry list of older companies;

> Prior to the announcement, Target and Amazon had extended their partnership until 2011.[41] In January 2010, Target announced their vendor partners for the re-platforming project. These partners include Sapient, IBM, Oracle, Endeca, Autonomy, Sterling Commerce and Huge, among others.

I would say, with the exception of the async split, no. The biggest pain is still the learning/skill curve, it always feels (to me) like there's a language feature I'm not taking advantage of that would make a piece of code more "rusty". Not different in style necessarily, just more elegant.

"We've seen the character develop and grow over a period of time and it's perfectly appropriate and OK for him to come back again with a great movie around him," he said at the time, stressing that Indiana Jones did not have to be so action-oriented.

"To me, what was interesting about the character was that he prevailed, that he had courage, that he had wit, that he had intelligence, that he was frightened and that he still managed to survive. That I can do."

While I can't say it would outweigh the disadvantages here the plus side would be more incentives for developers to create native ARM builds of their application for Windows making the user experience better for everyone. Having emulation is nice but having native applications is even better.
I've switched out a heavy set of over-ear headphones specifically because they were too heavy for me, and would make my neck feel uncomfortable after some time.

Also, don't knock earbuds as being innately less noise-cancelling than over-ear headphones - in-ear monitors (IEMs) that enter your ear canal and produce a good seal can passively filter a great deal of sound, musicians use them all the time and I used to wear my pair (without any active noise cancellation) on airplanes—they work at least 75% as well as Airpods Pro active cancellation does, while sounding really great.

But after a long period of listening like on a long-haul flight, the physical pressure of those get tiring on my ears... and active noise cancellation also makes my ears tired after a while too... so seems there's no silver bullet. Honestly I've just gone to not using headphones of any kind for extended periods of time and listening with speakers whenever practical.
They could still be sued. It would be found to have no standing... but the record labels could and would drag that out for as long as possible, and cost millions in legal fees in the meantime.

Google should fight it. It's good for them in the long run, and it's good for society long and short. But they've taken the easier path.

These DDG comments, both from GP and parent, are one of those argument patterns that you read on HN every single week.

Has anyone tried to make a browser extension to filter this repetitive topic type thing? i.e. once I've read the echo chamber view on a given topic 12 times, it seems you could identify it and filter out future occurrences. It would be a great way to keep the content on here and reddit feeling fresh.
Though in that case you definitely want to disable macros for this config (as they allow for exponential time/space) and be very careful with any additional functions you expose.
I found DDG to give me better results for everyday things except for work related.

Google is good at finding very specific error messages and other strings.

I have a theory: Technically Google is better but the search results suffer from every marketer and publisher trying to game the system.
Supposed?

The white flag was literally the national standard of France for a while.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_flag#Ancien_R%C3%A9gime_...

France's second-greatest or third-greatest national hero literally sacrificed all the women and children to save himself (and failed to save himself, at that):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Alesia#Siege

Not to mention France's betrayal of Poland at the start of WWII (there was a mutual defense pact, which France satisificed trying to not annoy Germany):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II#War_breaks_out_in...

Failing to face Germany together, France then promptly got conquered itself, providing scant resistance even when attacked. It then collaborated with the Nazis.

Then there are the English raiding parties into France. Remember the Black Prince? Heh. France was way bigger, but way cowardlier. The "flower of European chivalry" was killed altogether by a bunch of poor peasants from England because it turned out the French knights had zero discipline.

The only time when France had its military act together was during the time of Napoleon. Otherwise, it had a modest success by bullying technologically-inferior places during the age of colonialism.

After two millennia of this sort of crap...
Indeed. The whole system relies on trust.

In computer science, it's usual to know who is writing because the specific field is small and you basically know who is working on what anyway. I guess it's even more so in math.

You'd better not piss off anyone in your community.
GATs are removing some restrictions on the existing facilities of traits, and less creating totally new features. To be clear figuring out the subtleties of exactly how this is verified and edge cases with the type system is non-trivial, but as a developer this extends the set of types that “just work” as associated types. Crucially, it allows avoiding some weird hacks to get the borrow checker happy with non-static lifetime associated types in many situations.
I remember Google Campus having a form for filling in before a tech event that was crazy invasive - asked for literally everything: race, gender, sexual orientation, religion and so on.
I'm following the Sokpop collective, they are 4 developers that have committed to releasing 2 games per month. The main source of income seems to be Patreon subscriptions, but games also get released on Steam.

Every one game is quirky, vibrant and fun. For few of them I was disappointed that devs moved on instead of continuing working to bring out the potential, but after a while they would return to same concept and release a sequel.
This. And from what I’ve heard this is often less about the banker asked to relocate themselves but their families. London is just far more attractive as a place for foreigners to relocate to than Frankfurt is.

It’s one of the downsides of Germany’s less centralized economy. While not the same status as London, Munich or Berlin would likely be more attractive destinations for their families.
Same experience here, moved from cypress to testcafe after getting frustrated by cypress API.

It was some time ago so I may not remember correctly but I felt like cypress was not for people already fluent in javascript, a bit like jquery but pushed even further (you need to do everything the cypress way now, you can't even use variables or promises...).
I wish browsers would stick to being browsers. 'Brave Today' could easily be a website, PWA or a plugin that I can happily ignore.

A year ago StartPage sold a majority stake to, what essentially is, an advertising and marketing company - System 1 Group.

Not necessarily a bad thing, but I have zero trust that these new owners will not succumb to some common and oh-so-effective shenanigans to improve their ad performance in the StartPage search results. That's like selling a rehab facility to a drug cartel. A match made in heaven.

Businesses above a certain size overwhelmingly use pcs unless they are in specific arty sectors. M1 won't change that, or at least not rapidly.

I think Microsoft have 5 or 6 different lines of business that bring in billions or more of revenue: windows, cloud, gaming, office/productivity and surface. They are the most diversified of the big players.
That's a cool-looking game. It's nice to see something from animal's perspective.

It sounds like you've found the holy grail: self-marketing game.

Your biggest challenge now is to not fuck it up.

We all draw lines between what we do and don't give moral consideration to, and these aren't necessarily purely subjective. There's a reason why almost no one cares if you slice open a grapefruit compared to slicing open a living person's head: we believe sentience and consciousness to be some significant, valued attribute, and at least to some degree non-illusory.

The current scientific understanding is that most animals are so much more sentient and conscious than all plants that it makes sense to give moral consideration up to some threshold lying between the two. (With unicellular organisms even lower.) There are some animals (e.g. jellyfish) that as far as we know appear to reside below the plant threshold, in which case I'd consider it okay to kill and eat those animals.

I think they are spotting a trend. Not one I'm a fan of, like the newsfeed to the left of my homescreen on my Pixel phone.
Am I the only one that thinks this is kind of nice? I was just putting together a personal portfolio website and thinking about adding a feature like this. But I hadn't yet because of the work involved. This will make it a lot easier.

If you don't like, you don't have to use it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> I think the Blaire White across a room scenario suggests that pronouns are more useful in a referential sense if they're used in a way that aligns with gender presentation

I think we should have defined what we think of as gender expression. I think it's stuff like affectations, hair styles, makeup, "gendered" clothing (dresses), etc.

Harry Styles wore a dress recently to much acclaim. He was lauded for expanding the male repertoire.

> I also don't think it's just me, i.e. I don't think most people are much more prone to 'seeing' someone's true biological sex in this kind of scenario than I am.

I saw a man, in a dress. And I think that's what everyone saw.

The difference between Harry and a transwoman is - intent, which is invisible. I only know Harry isn't trans because the article told me.

> I just think that thing lines up with "gender presentation" a lot better than it lines up with "biological sex" in the cases where those differ.

I would have agreed. Ten years ago nobody was going out of their way to queer everything. If a man wore a dress they either lost a bet or wanted to be seen as female. But now, in a world where nothing signifies sex, how can I read your gender expression?

But now a dress isn't part of gender expression anymore and is simply a garment. I guess we're expected to just move the bar and say that because Harry wasn't wearing a dress and lipstick he's a guy not a transwomen but that feels fleeting.

> I don't think one is expected to just recognize [Moon Gender] based on presentation. Hence, the practice of being explicit about preferred pronouns in circles that care about about this.

But that makes a mockery of the entire idea of gender expression. Now it's just people demanding special labels again.

The whole ideology is pushed as a unit and lives and dies as a unit. Either gender expression is a thing, and there are a finite but large set of them, and sex doesn't exist as a binary, and trans babies are real, etc, or it's not.

> I'm planning to add settings so you can control the behavior of each subscription (e.g. choose which ones you want a sample of, choose which ones you want the whole thing)

This is exactly what I'd need. I don't really use RSS anymore, but when I did I had the problem that some sources (e.g. some random person's blog) would publish once every few weeks and I'd want to see every post, but others (e.g. the Guardian) would put out multiple posts an hour to the point that subscribing to them would drown out everything else in my feed.
I’m using xhyve as well, but I’m having trouble getting it to boot newer kernels. 4.4 era works, (16.04) but 18.04 and 20.04 have various failures. I note that docker is built on xhyve and doesn’t seem to have this issue. So it’s not fundamental, but the fix hasn’t made it back to thx mostly abandoned xhyve.
Wait, why don't you think those were great fallbacks? You described them all as being solidly at least middle class. What would you consider a good fallback option?

"It all (already) exists in some way or another"... which makes it all about changes in opportunity, which mostly are uncertain/unclear over something like 10 years (AirBnB was founded in ~2008) and superior/excellent execution. So its all about execution, adjusting trajectories and being lucky, that the wind of change blows your way.

Eg. I absolutely don't want to downplay Mark Zuckerberg's contribution/genius, but Facebook comes to my mind, which certainly wasn't the first (attempt) at a social network. And: What are they today?! - Kind of the "web" (on phone/mobile) in India for example. With all the social integration and native (applications) first on (Android) phones, they became a better version of the WWW in less developed regions of the world.
