I've found that when I condense an impressive amount of information down to 280 characters, the compression is lossy. People only pick up one tidbit out of the several that I've packed in; or maybe they'll come away with a completely wrong interpretation. Hell, even when I come back to my own writing, I find that it's too clever by half and I can't extract the nuance that I expected to be clear.
Thanks for all the knowledge. What is your interest in these protocols, out of curiosity?

Deprecated doesn't mean 'wiped off all computers everywhere'. By that definition, name something that is truly 'deprecated'? An interesting trivia question. I think we have to exclude rare tech like prototypes.

This feedback is so common in all the threads here that I can only wonder why someone would so gloriously sabotage their own product.

It's a bit needy. Maybe give people a chance to try it out on their own terms instead of forcing them to commit right off the bat?
I was reading about how the mobile game space has taken a totally different path from PC/Console games. Players are largely onboard with the "value" of even the most casual games on the latter platforms. But there is now a lot of resistance to mobile games that aren't free...even though a player's regular spend on an IAP-monetized game might actually exceed the cost of even a subscription-type model.
> Sad to see another one of New Zealand's large, well known employers get sold.

We'll see. There's the risk of massive job losses in Wellington, which wouldn't spark joy, but they're an absolutely terrible employer in terms of workplace health and safety and sexual harrassment, so it's just as possible there is an improvement in employment conditions.
You can use sequential guids. That's what I do. Works well for not bloating indices.
I appreciate the reply and opportunity to open dialog. I think the flaw in that reasoning is that you're not talking specifically about people for whom search is a problem. Someone searching for the weather forecast, or something that strongly references a Wikipedia article, is already getting a good search experience. People like me, on the other hand, are power users of Google but consistently struggle to quickly find information.

I downloaded the extension so I could reciprocate with useful feedback. First let me say I appreciate the minimal design, although it would be nice if my re-ordering and configuration of the interface remained the same between searches (if I hit the arrows to push Stack Overflow results to the top, every subsequent search pushes it down to a random position). I ran some of my Google searches from earlier today - one was "typescript define class as type", since I didn't really know exactly how to describe the TS syntax I wanted. The second Google result was to a Stack Overflow answer that effectively resolved my query - this answer isn't in the SO results when I searched on You, and the overall search experience for that one isn't great. Obviously that is an edge case with imprecise wording, but it's the best example I could come up with for why it's hard to ditch Google (even though many of us want to).

I ran some other queries where You was actually a much better experience - I was searching for a specific JS library (Nunjucks) and entering queries like "nunjucks define a filter" - the Google results start with a link to the documentation, followed by endless low-quality blog posts. On You, I could easily scroll through and see that people are talking on Reddit about the library - right now I effectively do the same thing on Google by adding "site:news.ycombinator.com" before a query.

Again, appreciate the reply and look forward to following your progress. I am sure that even the naysayers here can agree that it would be nice to see an end to search monopolization :)

Edit: FYI, to add to the argument against the Chrome extension, the moment I navigated to google.com I got a prompt with "yes" as the default answer for switching back to Google as the default search. So I really don't think fighting the search monopoly in this way is going to be easy - to echo another commenter, DuckDuckGo has managed to build a successful business off great search results alone.
> A search involves compulsion.

Exclusively? That's a novel interpretation of 4A. Where did you get it?
A good waiter certainly has great "menu knowledge", however this is actually a situation where the waiter shouldn't be trying to impress the customer with how well they remember ingredients. A customer informing a waiter of a food allergy should trigger a clear protocol (that the restaurant may have established in writing), which will involve talking to the kitchen/chef/manager.

Many places will have waiters follow up the "does X have {{ allergen }} in it?" with clarifying questions as to whether the customer has an allergy or if it's a preference. If they are indeed asking because they have an allergy, it's critical that everyone dealing with that customer's food knows in advance so they can double check all ingredients and prep/handle the food in a way that limits any potential cross contamination.
Great read. Thanks for sharing
Those are determined by demand and supply. Why does a society want to produce experts in fields where there is no value.

Note, many/most people in software engineering have other interests. But they have not made a career out if it. So, if humanities interests someone, it can be a perfectly good hobby for many, till demand and supply evens up that leads to rise in salaries.

It makes sense if you realize

1. China pledges to peak carbon emission by 2030

2. Any increase in emission before 2030 will increase China's peak carbon allowance afterward.

3. Coal plants are cheap to build. Who cares if you only run them at 30% load factor for their entire lifespan.

4. Cap and trade between countries mean the carbon credit will worth a lot in the near future.
This sounds like a beneficial merger that improves distribution of items already being created.
Maybe a compromise would be keeping the button to install the extension but add a link along the lines of "Don't want an extension?" that explains how you can use it without installing the extension and your reasons for the extension.
Whereas in the US, road bikes are the norm for adults and are typically ridden around 30kph on open road.

For many of the riders, sweaty and tired is the whole point: conditioning. They may take it easy on the way to work (only 20kph) but they'll go flat-out on the way home.

It's why we're so obsessive about helmets, where the rest of the world isn't.

This sounds pretty crappy right? If I'm understanding the numbers, 25% response is about like what we get with a placebo in most studies if my memory is correct.

It sounds like they were tripping balls on 25 mg, so this is definitely in active placebo range.

From my memory:

Placebo is about 25%.

Antidepressants about 35% response rate.

Active placebo of something like atropine which makes you feel weird but isn't an antidepressant has about a 35%
response rate.

It seems you might have paid insufficient attention to the "in the early days of microcomputers ..." qualifying remark in the grandparent comment.

When microcomputers emerged in the 1970's, in particular consumer microcomputers, many languages and other software simply did not migrate to them from Big Iron, mainly for reasons that it just didn't fit.

People who started computing with microcomputers in that era would only have read about Algol or Cobol in Byte or Creative Computing; it wouldn't be found running on their Comodore Pet or what have you.

Macron said "We are going, for the first time in decades, to relaunch the construction of nuclear reactors in our country".
This is a blatant lie, as France launched a project and never ceased trying to build. However it failed flat.

The last delivered reactor was Civaux-2 (generation II), in 1999. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civaux_Nuclear_Power_Plant

Then in 2002 the project Flamanville-3 was launched (a generation III reactor, the "EPR", first one of its kind), and the building phase started in 2007. It is a major failure, not delivered, at least 11 years behind schedule, and will cost at least 19.1 billion euros (initial budget: 3.4 billions €).

I'm hacking on a project that does this, but kind of in reverse: give it a list of ingredients and the respective quantities, tell it how many servings you want per day and for how many days, and it generates sets of recipes that don't require additional ingredients.

There are other bells and whistles I've added or plan to add, like factoring in diet restrictions or nutrition goals, but the core of it was to basically to find what I could cook without going to a store.

TIL about A_PriorKey, thanks!

My own scripts are hardly prettier. AHK is not a great language, and I've put very little effort into learning its syntax. Here's my implementation Alt IJKL & friends: https://pastebin.com/F0xgWHH9 Same invitation to you. If you find a way to improve it, email me at my HN handle at gmail :D Note that it has explicit stuff to work with the AltTab window.

I daily drive a Thinkpad X1, but honestly these days Alt+IJKL is so ingrained into my muscle memory that I make grumbly noises when I try to use them on another coworker's machine and fail. Well at least I used to precovid.

> Did you have any specific reason to go with IJKL instead of WASD?

Ergonomics, primarily. I didn't want to twist the fingers of my left hand to try to hit Ctrl/Shift/Alt WASD while my right hand is sitting snickering. Oh. And I just realized I could have used the right alt + WASD. I went with LeftAlt because Caps is also on the left. You can certainly choose to go with RightAlt, though I would encourage you to try ESDF so you get to leave your fingers on the homerow. Also means you have a bit more room for QAZ if you wanna do anything fancy with them.

I suppose I could try and make RightAlt+ESDF mouse movement... but TrackPoint. Might be useful for when I'm at the desktop though. Anyway, being able to left click from the keyboard is surprisingly useful. (CtrlCaps for me.) Often times my mouse is exactly where I want it to be. Happens multiple times a day.

I'm interested in perspectives on this from outside the US or Anglosphere generally - I'm from Australia and the education is largely similar if not worse as it inherited British hierarchicalism (is that a word? it is now!)
Of course there are. But we have to pay attention to what the community is saying in general. Consensus. To be fair, this is often hard to decipher when you aren't in said community and we are talking about a rather complicated topic ("Here be Dragons"). I mean we have "climate experts" showing up on certain news channels claiming that the IPCC reports are hogwash but we have a huge consensus in the community in general.

So with the Iran deal, what do we have? Well they would have needed around 3-6mo to enrich their stockpile for enough material for a single weapon. Something they haven't done before and do not have the technology to do. Also something they did not appear to be attempting to do.

But I talked about consensus. I'd say Nature is a good source for that[0]. You'll note here that Nature is talking about getting enough enriched material in months but several other news sources I looked at used the phrase "build a weapon" instead. I'd call this fear mongering and misunderstanding the science.

I'm not trying to tell you that you're dumb, but rather that this is a complicated matter and that amateur levels of understanding aren't quite enough to even get the basics. I have a degree in the field, have worked in the industry and in energy departments. My level of understanding is barely enough to get the basics. I'm calling you out because we're talking about something extremely complicated that people vastly overestimate their expertise to handle. Atomic physics is not a simple thing where you can get a basic understanding through even months of googling.

Can a Gov agent legally avoid the warrant requirement by paying some rando to perform an invasive search?
Forcing users to install some random extension to use a privacy search engine is probably the worst value prop you can offer. What is the subset of privacy seeking users are part of the group of users willing to install random extensions exist?
yea. we'll revisit it from time to time.
most people who REALLY dont want to install our extension probably won't do it after 2 searches either?

and sadly, the 2tr$ monopoly that is Google made this the only way for us to provide the convenience of a navbar search right now?

hopefully we can be a default option at some point or we'll have to build our own browser :)
Certainly not. I want US intelligence agencies to take action against foreign threat actors to reduce their capacity to cause harm to US citizens and infrastructure.
> China pledges to peak carbon emission by 2030

China pledged to peak Carbon emissions as a share of GDP by 2030. Not the same thing, given that GDP is increasing by 6-8% each year. Most Western nations already have had emissions per GDP declining for a long time.

> 2030 will increase China's peak carbon allowance afterward

China has rejected abiding by any Carbon "allowance", nor will it adopt any cap and trade system for carbon.
POWER was not originally open for use by others, under any license terms. It also was on the trailing edge of performance for many years. The original POWER 1 and POWER 2 boardsets were enormous power-sucking bastards with price tags to match. (Yes, boardsets. They were not even microprocessors.)

SPARC and MIPS were relatively open from day one but there were fewer takers than you would expect

SPARC had a number of licensees, but most of them chose to either re-use Sun software (Fujitsu, Solborne) or sell their chips directly through Sun (Ross, Weitek)

MIPS had many licensees but it ended up being bought by one of its most successful customers, SGI. Turns out, controlling the product direction is pretty important!

The point is, there were a lot of market forces piling up to drive people to play their own game, even it looks very silly 30 years on.
I think the end solution is not to have TOR replicate normal randomish usage, but to have normal usage from everything go through a tor like process so that everyone looks the same.

They might not. You have the degree program, and you have the classes. This sounds a lot like unbundling your cable channels. Maybe go for market prices per class.

Yea... Driving factor: convenience of your search engine.

You actually can try it out in incognito mode and any other browser. But we found that without the convenience of a navbar search, most people won't give it a proper try either way.

I hope we can drop this requirement even in Chrome when we become one of the default options.

If you set your search engine default to http://you.com manually in Chrome with "https://you.com/search?q=%s" you will not need the extension... but for most people convenience wins and well...

It's tough to go up against a monopoly that controls the browser too?

>no country pay like the US. Worked for silicon valley companies remotely, and made twice the money I made in France, while being 3 times cheaper than local competition.

Not a problem for foreign companies that can and do pay "like the US", because they compete globally.

Well, in that aspect, the US wont compete with each country one by one, but by the volume of hi-level coding gig job offers in all of them combined.

>- few countries even have has many interesting projects. If you want to code in Haskell or Lisp in Europe, good luck.

StandardChartered is a British bank - and one of the main Haskell employers (it's not like they are many). There are lots of others. Eiffel (France), Smalltalk is used by several European companies in different places, and I see a comparable number of companies using Common Lisp in Europe as in the US ehre: https://common-lisp.net/lisp-companies

And, in any case, even in FAANG 99% of programmers don't do Haskell or Lisp, so the point is moot.
