>What is it then, people believe lies because it makes sense to them or because other people lie?

Because reality is not so clear cut as "pigs grow on trees". No one is claiming anything as ludicrous as pigs grow on trees in our political debates. Disagreeing with most of the narrative on climate change is not the same as saying pigs grow on trees, for instance.
I love learning new languages, I have worked with MUMPS
And they say only Rust makes it to the front page of HN.

More seriously is this release particularly notable in the COBOL world? I know very little about the language and I find it odd to find the Changelog of a minor release at the top of the frontpage.

Tim Cook on an earnings call, explaining that reducing the price of battery refurbishment to $29, lead to fewer sales as people held on to devices for longer:

>According to Cook, while analysts suggested Apple shouldn't do it, the company "strongly believes it was the right thing to do for [its] customers."

>“We also make sure to design durable products, that last as long as possible,” Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of environment, said. “That means long-lasting hardware, coupled with our amazing software. Because they last longer, you can keep using them. And keeping using them is the best thing for the planet.”

This doesn’t make sense to me. Typically evictions are enforced by the local government and not the landlords. You have to apply and eviction then it’s the police or sherif that actually kicks the person out.

The only utility Facebook gives me is Messenger, which I have to use because several family members use it. The only utility it offers over other messaging platforms is slightly better support for media and GIFs (maybe?) And network effects. I would really prefer they join me where I am, on Discord, which is where my local friends, neighbors and online friends go to exchange messages. (It doesn't support video sharing as well/easily as Messenger.)
Why 'preppers' are going mainstream
I agree with the spirit of your comment (web browser != news feed). However, in this case I think the whole value-proposition of Brave Today is that it is not just another web site. Meaning that instead of needing to compile a sketchy privacy invasive cloud-profile on a user in order to surface relevant content, since Brave Today runs locally it can make the decision locally about what content is relevant to the user (based on the local browser data) without having to send anything to a centralized service.

> The Brave Today news reader ranks stories locally for the user from hundreds of popular RSS feeds using an algorithm that weighs several factors, including the user’s browser history and article published date.

Ideally, though, I would like to see this implemented as a browser extension or something like that that can be added/removed as desired.
In the end, health plans aren't one-size-fits-all. You’ll want to talk to someone who can help match your unique needs with the plan that suits you best.
> Not that much has changed,

A lot has changed. If you didn't like a newspaper or a broadcast, you stopped seeing it. They built a reputation that they had to maintain somewhat. You knew most of the time who was behind each piece.

Now? You see content that a lot of people dislike because it generates controversy and engagement and attacks, lies get way more exposure than truths. A lot of publications come from unknown sources, with no reputation, so they can lie without consequences. You don't know who wrote something and the interests they might have.

> The best and only way to defend and nurture it is education. Teach people to think for themselves, critical reading,logic and analysis.

What is more probable, that social media has completely changed the type of content that people see or that education has plummeted in a decade or two?

Education is not the solution: no single person can be educated enough to make informed decisions on all the topics they are exposed to in a single day. We don't even have the time to do that! We need to revert the changes that social media has created in our information diet, that's the solution. And we need to start by forcing social media companies to stop maximizing engagement over everything, show people only the content they explicitly subscribed to (no 'look at this comment someone made on this post of a page you don't follow'), and stop editorializing the priority of that content via algorithms to maximize engagement.

There is a difference between integration testing (Cypress UI click through UI) and backend unit testing.

We run integration tests with Cypress and then rspec or some other Rails testing platform for the backend.

Cypress uses fixtures so ideally you would not let it hit a backend API unless you don't care about reproducibility of the response. For example a PUT will augment the data on the backend so when you run the test again the backend data will probably give you a different response to assert and fail your expected.

How to Pitch to Investors (Michael Seibel, 2015)
One way or another we’re going to have to spend a lot of money to reverse the impact of climate change. Politicians don’t seem to have the stomach for a carbon tax and it’s increasingly looking like we’ll just get tariffs.

So instead of explicitly working in the cost of carbon and decreasing spending we’re going to raise prices on everything which will likely have the same impact.
That's fairly typical of a Dan Goodin article. The best you can really hope to do is pick out some search terms that'll find something actually useful, like the source material in this case: https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2020/12/10/widesprea...

Without tooling (a kind of lint rule I suppose) to prohibit the use of advanced features, this is difficult to achieve in multi-developer projects.
Works well, found what I was looking for, using it for a few minutes. What surprised me was how many extremely obscure sites came up before ones that get hit tens of thousands of times a day. Quite difficult to figure out "popularity" without collecting data, so I would bet that this will be a large issue. I feel like making an opt-in anonymous "you are allowed to collect data on which result i click for a given query" would be nice. I would certainly use it.

Overall, I think the name isn't too catchy, but it's nice and unique. You definitely need a logo or something more identifiable. For now, the light green / lime tone is not that nice to look at, I think a more "boring" grey-tone or something blue would be nicer.

Nice work! Looking forward to this becoming a big deal!

I'm not a legal expert. The petition alleges that "RESPONDENTS FAILED TO COMPLY WITH GEORGIA LAW PROVISIONS MATCHING SIGNATURES" but I believe the arguments to support this would need to be presented in the courts.

You asked me if there was an actual case which raises the arguments that state laws were not followed and I believe that I have provided you with one.

You can also probably look at the recent motion filed by AG Paxton in Texas[1], which similarly makes claims that election officials were processing ballots in an unlawful way.

Whether or not the arguments make you worry doesn't change the fact that both of these cases allege that election laws were broken.

Some of those antibodies will circulate to the nasal mucosa and stand guard there, but it’s not clear how much of the antibody pool can be mobilized or how quickly. If the answer is not much, then viruses could bloom in the nose — and be sneezed or breathed out to infect others.
Biden doesn't return results on google, which is interesting. But it doesn't seem to be because google doesn't like reddit. It typically returns results even for niche sub-reddits.

"reddit sorcery of the spectacle" works, for example.

However "reddit married red pill" doesn't (works on DDG).

There must be some kind of censoring going on. Maybe Donald Trump and Biden are somehow influenced by elections. But this wouldn't explain the others.

I say YES do it, learn COBOL and Mainframes, don't listen to others who say Mainframe is a thing of the past, it's here to stay. Just talk with leading positions in Insurance/Finance government maybe?, they are more then happy to find someone who is motivated and eager to learn, AND they have the money and time to support and build-you-up (Training mentors certs licenses etc.).

GnuCOBOL seems to be the de-facto standard COBOL implementation on Unix-like platforms these days, so (at least) it is a notable software. They seem to have no actual blog, so the changelog is the best news link I could come up with...
Whose hatred? I don't think I've seen anybody really hate on COBOL, it's just mostly irrelevant for modern programmers and people like to mock the FULL CAPS ULTRA VERBOSE SYNTAX (something that COBOL programmers themselves routinely do, see ADD 1 TO COBOL GIVING COBOL).
It's a value so important to society it is included in our most authoritative laws.

While individuals and private entities are not obligated to follow that law because it is direct at the government people can rightly complain that it is in bad taste when they stray too far from holding themselves to the same standard.

A private entity banning confederate flags and nazi symbols in avatars is palatable enough on its own. But it is decently close to having to censor those sorts of things in legitimate historical contexts. See for example all the genuinely historically centered youtube channels that have to censor those symbols because otherwise the algo will bury them. I think we can all agree that that latter case is not ok and is the kind of censorship that should be complained about. Considering how many historically themed video games there are out there and how strongly people believe in free speech it's understandable why more than a few people do not like this move by Twitch.

"jUsT dOn'T hOsT tHeM." Great advice.

You assumed what our properties neighborhoods are like incorrectly. You used your faulty assumption to create a story inside of your head so it would be easier to be patronizing. Your unsolicited advice was a waste of my time and yours, but I do hope it gave you that dopamine hit you seem to desperately need.
I tried this a few days ago. The results reminded me of search engines a decade ago - when keyword hacking for SEO placement had caught on, but search engines hadn't learnt to work around it. (I can't access that history now, but one of the searches I tried was 'rec file viewer', and the results were dominated by the many crappy "file extension info" sites riddled with ads and "Is This A Virus" FUD.)

Btw I'm not a native English speaker and mojeek seemed like a great name to me immediately. Definitely easier to remember than metager and YaCy, on par with qwant (I've been looking into alternate search engines recently). There were (and still are) people who thought DuckDuckGo is a terrible name - and even if that's true, they've shown it's not a significant obstacle at all. Good luck with your results, those are the only thing that really matter.
Friend, the comment I replied to referenced Linux in VMs, and my point is clear and was made in good faith: Today I cannot reasonably run any Apple device without the Apple base software.

Your answer is dismissive and misses the point because you nitpicked on one particular word I used that doesn't fulfill one particular and currently irrelevant scenario: Windows in Bootcamp. What about every other scenario?
I think the worst part of YouTube's implementation is that your video can stay up, with the revenue going to someone else without you having any control over it. Most videos get a huge portion of their profit in the first day, so this means that you basically loose a week or month of your income.

I think it is very reasonable to argue that this is effectively YouTube allowing someone to steal the fruits of your labour.

Even if the claim is dropped after a week the damage has been done. Most of your audience has seen the video and their ad revenue went to some company who made a likely incorrect claim.

It seems like there should be an option to choose an automated response to the Content ID claim. For example if the Claimer tries to take the ad revenue immediately make the video private. This way when the process is over at least you have a chance to earn money for your hard work when you release the video.

Of course YouTube is "in the right" here, you agree that they can take all of your ad revenue. They made this system which has some advantages over the base rules, but there are some huge disadvantages.

At the end of the day I wish more people would publish to other platforms as well. But free unlimited video hosting with built-in promotion and monetization is a pretty sweet deal at the end of the day, even with its quirks.

I don't think you're correct about that.

Here's simple test.xhtml:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8"/>
<title>XHTML</title>
</head>

<p>
<details>
<summary>Summary</summary>

</html>

It's rendered properly in Chrome. If some XML is wrong, it'll error. So at least Chrome supports XHTML with strict XML validator. And <detail> tag works as expected and it's even nested inside <p> tag in DOM.

That XHTML won't pass validator.w3.org (<details> can't be inside <p>), but Chrome does not care.
The issue is that people are not rational actors, and their emotions can be manipulated into forming new habits. In this case, facebook's goal is maximizing time spent on site. They know if they get you into a state of emotional flow, you'll stay there for much longer. That is the purpose of ranked newsfeed. Companies just make the "relevance" argument, because it's not wrong, it's just not the whole story.

Specifically, if you had a passing interest in a controversial topic, the algorithm will make sure to sink its barbs into you, and exploit you emotionally. This is especially real for older people who didn't grow up with the internet, or people who are blind to this issue. These two groups haven't learned to moderate their emotions and question the nature, or source, of the content.
Keeping the sources in SCCS would make it harder to pull the whole archive, I guess.
Also, for the record, I have not downvoted any of your comments. I think it's totally fair for people to discuss the merits of these cases.
Does Advertising Work?
Regarding dates, on top of the default ranking behaviour, there are 'since' and 'before' operators to specifically look within a timeframe [0]

There's also an API feature that allows preferring newer documents over old (datewr) [1] It will eventually make its way as a search preference you can set for your own convenience. In the meantime it works by typing it into the URL.

We are also working on the core algorithm to better identify when the main content of a page has changed.

I grew up in a home where my Dad had multiple sclerosis and went from playing football with me at age 6 to full-time wheelchair 10 years later. Later in life, while serving in the US Navy, I ended up with a different disability that lasted about 14 years. This article really hit home for me.

For my Dad, simple things we do every day were hard because little things like doors and steps were huge obstacles to him. For me, it was working hours where I could not function without mid-day sleep. For my Dad, there was no way to hide the disability. For me, I looked, moved, and was normal.

Disabilities are at their core a disadvantage. Disclosing them is risky. Most people will use the disclosure for good. But just enough people will use them to deny opportunity or as a signal of weakness. There's a great fear of "reasonable accommodations" because if we make an allowance for one person, soon everyone will be requesting reasonable accommodations... So, when you check the Yes box, you are taking a huge risk.

Incidentally, I learned that checking the veteran box also comes with risk. I was once excluded from consideration from a job because the employer thought all veterans were ticking time bombs or rigid authoritarians with no moral compass.
They do, but once you are a certain size, decision you make, create much bigger waves. At that point, 'derisking'(as the banks call it ), can easily alter the economy in unpredictable ways. This is one of the reasons, you typically do not want monopoly/oligopoly in place. MC and VISA already have amazing amount of market power. If they say they won't process your payment, you only have few options left ( wikileaks donations debacle comes to mind ).

We need to distinguish between institutions so big that they are defacto system and institutions that are mere cogs of the system.

Your argument is a good one, but it ignores attributes of the parties.
Perhaps your optimism about the diligence of politicians should meet the reality of history. Unintended consequences and people skirting the law are endemic to lawmaking.

No, page objects (AKA page models) are a recommended but optional pattern in TestCafe.

We did a part of our wedding registry there 15 years ago and I was astounded to find they still had books and books of hand written stock information.

Writing was on the wall. Too much inertia.
COBOL put me through undergrad, so I'm ok with it.

And, it was developed long before a lot of modern compiler theory was even thought of, so it's going to be a little unfamiliar to those used to "modern" languages.
I have noticed that our developers coming from javascript pretty much exclusively feel that way (and tend to write sharper UIs.) The ones who come from the JVM and feel more emboldened to write more frontend code thanks to reagent write UIs that don't satisfy product requirements, but are very happy with reagent.

Not that devs coming from the JVM can't contribute! But there is some eyerolling from the devs coming from javascript when the primarily backend devs throw together a too-simple UI and wonder why everybody doesn't use reagent exclusively.
