That's somewhat similar to what I'm doing with Miniforth [0]. Programming in a minimal environment is fun. I don't have a separate machine, so I'm booting my main laptop from a thumbdrive. The difference in boot time is staggering – after BIOS loads the boot sector, everything else is instant. This is instrumental to my strategy for tricking myself into working on the project – normally, I'm very prone to going off into a research rabbit hole after taking a look at the wrong browser tab. So, instead, I make sure to power off my machine in the evenings. That way, booting into miniforth becomes the option with less friction (:

Unfortunately, this does not work for writing the blog about the project. Hopefully this will change soon, once I write an editor and filesystem...

This has been true for over a decade. What's changed is how obviously awful the results are.
So we need a new web.
If you have programming experience, Lua is a pretty light lift.

Forth is small, and learning the basics is very fast.

JS is convenient to learn because it's already on your computer in the web browser. I used to work on programs during my downtime at work, then email the files to myself to work on another day.
I live and pay taxes in Germany. Do not lecture me on collective freedom. I pay a lot to support my neighbors, and in turn, have enjoyed a year home with my kid (could I have saved far more than what I got in German maternity payments, in the US? Without a doubt. Am I glad for the system anyway, which got me out of the office for a year with full confidence that I’d still have my job? Yes.)

No other democracy taxes its citizens living outside the country on money they earned in their countries of residence. For example, Germany would not tax my husband on money he earned while living and working in the US, and would not require him to file income taxes. He would be perfectly free to have both a 401k and Roth account without any concern for reporting back to Germany, as long as he was still a US resident. Should he decide to move back to Germany, it would be easy enough for him to transfer that money to similar German accounts, perhaps with some penalties on the way out.

I do not have a parallel ability to save for my retirement as a US citizen in Germany. FATCA makes US citizens with small accounts radioactive - we cost far more to deal with than we’d likely pay in fees. I’m thankful to still have a plain checking account - I know other Americans who had theirs closed.

I’m a reasonably content German taxpayer, feeling like I get relatively good value for my tax euros. I’m a sour US tax filer, feeling like my country is doing all it can to force me to work till I’m 70, despite not actually collecting any taxes from me, because I pay so much more in tax to Germany than I’d ever owe in the US (thank God for the small mercy of the US-German tax treaty)

Save your vinegar for Americans who want that American cake without paying any taxes, and spare those of us who are eating (and paying for) Strudel or baklava.
I agree that Google search is much less relevant to me than it was > 10 years ago. I love some Google products (GCP, YouTube Music, Play books/movies, and paid for no advertisements YouTube) but search is no longer one of them.

That said, Google search works better for me if I use a private browser tab so the results don’t depend on search history. I find DDG to be useful. One good use case for Google search in the logged in mode is when I am searching for work related things that I might want to influence what I see in YouTube, but I could simply search in YouTube.
+1 for clips, and +2 for shimano SPD sandals!!!
I've used rule-based blockers in the past that would let me block the home/feed pages of sites but not individual article pages. That way search links still work but I can't go zombie out. Might be worth a try.
Half a percent is Russian roulette with 2.9 do-overs.
You guys had a bad time trying to search things that are at least a little complicated and obscure. I had the same experience trying to find a basic brownie recipe last week.
With smack barm pea wet?
Oh poor Google. If only they had the resources to combat it
Interesting. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Did you do extra-preparation on the extra room that is now available to you? E.g. foaming walls or door to have the same level of sound separation?

Which direction of sound separation is more important to you, incoming sound (not being disturbed) or outgoing sound (not disturbing sleeping people with your work)?
Electrical is a whole field of expertise. To wire a shed to code however is not that hard. I’ve done my dad’s tiny home personally and then had my electrician friend come in after and said it was all done and to code. Some of the skills overlap but usually the carpenters do the work and at a certain point the electrician comes in and does all his work then the carpenter finish up. The real secret to getting fully comfortable is doing an apprenticeship where someone is going over all your work.
I went from MacOS to Linux recently so I was going through similar projects and there is one important caveat: You have to have WIFI adapter that supports special mode (active monitor mode with frame injection).

Without compatible wifi adapter this will not work unfortunately :-(
To be fair, if you are specifically looking for that misinformation, those are poor organic results.
> The bad news is that physical stores simply do not carry any diversity nowadays, so their knowledge is irrelevant.

Is that a "nowadays" thing though? At least in my location, the reason a lot of us flocked to the online option was the diversity of options available. Physical stores (for understandable reasons) stocked only the few top-selling options, knew about a few other options enough to say "no we haven't got that", and anything else would get a blank stare and a "is that a company's name?"

If you had put effort into your search and optimized the selection for your specific needs, you were much more likely to find the product online - the physical stores often forced you into a choice between different suboptimal products.
Actually it would make more sense for them to push the highest margin products. This could quite often be lower cost or in-house brands since prestige brands can dictate lower margins to the retailer.

Agree sales guys pushing warranties is a real pain but I'm almost nostalgic for it compared to dodging Prime sign-up every time and other online anti-patterns.
At the risk of any SEO-blogspam people reading this and adjusting their tactics, you can filter by domain, eg.

Hardware memory tagging is done via OS APIs, the language has nothing to do with it.

The OS decides when what.
I've only ever overheard good quality advice at Microcenter.
Where in the US do people say 'for the nonce'? Because it certainly isn't where I am.
~15 minutes of actual lifting over 2 hours of podcasts 3-4x a week.
In this, similar to (other) things recognized as addictions.

Eg (just first thing I found googling for this commonly heard theory/model):

> A strong belief exists among addiction treatment specialists that the primary reason addicts remain addicted is less about pleasure-seeking and more about their need to escape and dissociate from the pain of his or her (often trauma-based) emotional isolation.

I'm partial to MANGA (for the former FAANG) and GAMMA when you replace Netflix with MS.
They seem to be fixated instead on forcing a terrible UI front end and ... not much else.

Maybe some moderator tool updates after a decade that were also user hostile.
DuckDuckGo is also not good. Last week I switched to Bing and its results are surprisingly good.
Have you ever been checked for sleep disorders like apnea? Waking up tired after a full night of sleep is a very common experience for apnea sufferers as you basically never fully fall asleep. Common signs include snoring or waking up to pee at night, although the only real test is a sleep study.
To support your point: if you are a DIYer who is not super cost sensitive, for example if you have a tech job, then I highly recommend structural screws. (I quite like GRK RSS fasteners.) It requires more research than you might think to find screws that are properly rated, but it is much more fun to do small projects with an impact driver than a nail gun or hammer.
I can't remember the precise reason, but if I remember correctly the reason is that because the poster is the originator in most sites including YouTube, while in Google's case it curates links instead without input from the general public. This is also the reason why Wikipedia still only officially operates in the US: the relatively freer publication rules as opposed to UK or Brazil for example shields them from a lot of lawsuits.
This is interesting! Are there pre-trained GCM emulators out there if someone wants to play around with this?
> Which disregards that X may be a new source of increased deaths, not to mention that when X == COVID, the methods needed to mitigate the risk are antithetical to a mindset of "it's no big deal" because that mindset pushes back against taking even some minimal precuations.

I don't think anyone has said, "fentanyl is worse for 18-44, therefore COVID is no big deal".

I think the message taken was "two sources of premature death shot way up, passing traffic accidents and suicide, which we all know are really bad in that age group". And maybe "wow, fentanyl is even bigger than COVID as a cause of death among young adults".

It doesn't make me take traffic safety less seriously, either.

Look, I ain't got time each year to compute loss-of-life expectancy numbers, and decide how preventable each and every cause is, and then come up with an analytical ranking of each cause and its "importance" (I did this at one point, but I'm not going to repeat it to understand trends).

I don't work in public health, either. Approximation based on reasonable anchor points and understood risks is just fine.
Could the issues be less presumptuous about googles business, and more technical? E.g the incorporation of NLP model(s) in search that don’t perform well in the wild?

Curious about their query parsing as well. I can’t recall exact queries, but I had instances where scrambled typos (but still obvious words to me) broke the results all together & no suggested fixes.
Would you consider having USA impose environmental parity tariffs as a way to tax over-polluting countries (which are used by Apple because of the lack of environmental and human protections which make things cheaper to manufacturer over there)?
> Windows isn't perfect or better for gaming.

This assessment depends entirely on the perspective.

From a developer's POV, Windows definitively is the better platform, as it's very monolithic in that you can rely on the presence and longevity of APIs.
Depending on the dev's influence on the market and the success of the game, you even get free optimisation, support, and bug fixes from h/w vendors in the form of game-specific driver patches.

From a gamer's POV, Windows has advantages as well, since bugs are rarely OS-related and h/w vendors offer a lot more features OOTB.

If you love tinkering with the OS and don't care if some titles or features just won't work, Linux is a valid option for gaming. Otherwise Windows is objectively the better option by default, since I can rely on the games working with all available features (e.g. multiplayer).
I've heard that in the early days of HIV, the tests were (e.g.) 95% accurate, and when patients saw their positive results and the supposed 5% chance it's wrong they'd sometimes kill themselves.

They revised the tests so the first test would say Inconclusive rather than Positive, and ask them to repeat it. This saved some lives.

Maybe this a UX failure? Shouldn't the test designers present the results like this, even to doctors?
It is an ironic if not sad fact of this global system. It's become its own metric with all the bias and larsen you can think of.
If you are reading papers on water softeners you might already know everything this video contains. For me it was a good intro to the topic of good water for making coffee: https://youtu.be/jfElZfrmlRs
If the two horrible options were free from context, sure. But that's hardly (if ever) the case. It is very convenient to start from a place where A has power over B, then say "B is free to choose whatever crappy options A offers, because... freedom".
At first glance thought they were using yyyy format, it's actually only yy. You are correct.
This is how landfills work currently so it is not much of a deviation from the status quo. It would still take millions of years before we run out of land to put all the nuclear waste ever created in.
This is quite nice, since I remember I've never liked mono-color walls, when I was a kid I used to paint on my walls tags and drawings with spray cans, but now since I grew up and it was a mess and it was repainted, I've started to put pictures of cities I've visited, maps of the cities, pubs cups holders from the world and random pictures of paintings and some flyers of clubbing nights, and banknotes of random countries, so around me I like to have colorful walls full of memories, so this speaks deep to me
Search doesn’t really that much anymore - not even to Google - their monopoly on advertisement brokerage does though …
Can you tell me a period of time from history when governments were removing money from the system (spending less than they were raising taxes and paying back their bonds without creating more debt)? It never happens. What governments are doing is unsustainable, people are not happy with the trillions of dollars they are printing and buying up scarce assets (which are the most imporant things for people…good luck living in an email inbox for free).
The key difference between suppressing information, and spreading misinformation is that someone exposed to misinformation can consciously choose to reject it, or find alternatives. If as a consequence of their conclusions they decide to cause harm, then you can always imprison or shoot them.

At its most extreme, suppressing information gives your subject no such freedom. You put them in an intellectual cage. You deny them the ability to choose their convictions.
I suspect these ad-ridden junk sites are optimizing more for Google than for Bing, as I tend to run into them more if I try to check Google's results instead of relying on Duck Duck Go.
Why?

It's at least equally awkward to suddenly find your house full of soldiers while you are in your underwear whether you are male or female. In fact I would say that it would be more embarrassing for many men. Male underwear is not really meant for public display.
Google and their shareholders are addicted to ad money. Personally speaking I think this is more harmful to society than cigarettes.

I hope we normalize this and start fighting back. Ads first destroyed youtube, google, and I’m sure a bunch of other products I am not thinking about.

Enough is enough, and we need to decouple morality from content and edge back to the anti censorship wild west mentality the internet championed for so long.
Inertia. It's the default on most browsers. Most people don't really think about it. "To Google" has become a verb, that's how entrenched it is.
This looks very like a problem I encountered some time ago running the closed source 3DO emulator "Phoenix Project", and similarly the open source "FreeDO" project that it was forked from. I narrowed it down (also using strace, IIRC) to these programs repeatedly opening and closing the /dev/input/event* files, and that being weirdly slow. I made a seperate little test program just to open and close those files to confirm it. It was only slow on my main desktop machine; while on my lesser-powered laptop, running a practically identical Arch Linux setup, those file operations were quick and the programs ran fine. None of these programs use SDL. I couldn't/didn't progress any further then, but it's good to find some pointers here for further investigation (ie. the libinput issue).

Funnily enough I'm pretty sure I played Papers Please on this machine at length without problems but I think that was probably the Windows version through Wine.
Look into the “salt belt”, and the references there regarding anti-lock brake and air bag sensor recalls only from these states: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Belt

Note that the airbag recall included Utah, while the antilock brake probe did not. Also note that as mentioned, “other states such as … Utah are also considered part of the Salt Belt but use less corrosive substances.”

Did you exclusively drive on salted roads in Utah? There’s also the whole part of the state that is desert. I don’t think it compares to humid coastal states that also receive heavy snowfall and happen to include several huge metropolitan areas, with all the car commuting that entails.
I’ve noticed this in informal instructions too, in the UK I’d expect something like “combine the beaten egg with the flour”, but I’ve noticed Americans often tend more to something like “so what you’re going to do is you’re going to go ahead and combined the beaten egg with the flour”
I've been using a BlackBerry Key 2 for the past few years, that I got new. It's a great Android phone with a keyboard. I'm sad they discontinued the line, the build quality is great and the keyboard is great. Fortunately it's just an Android phone so there may come a time when they discontinue support and I have to flash it with a modern distro but that should at least be possible, assuming the phone lasts that long.
To add some more detail from when I worked there: We had two users which were BES and BIS. Not all devices were connected to an enterprise. Consumer-owned devices were almost always provisioned using BIS. They tried to later push Black Berry ID as a way to get users to take over some half-baked control but that was a total flop. The support overhead was simply too much.
Apparently not according to the authors experience, and looking at the Website doesn't look like Microsoft is bothering too much keeping alive.
Right, and public ledgers, digital money, smart contracts will be used by the people in the future, but BTC and ETH prices are as important as WebVan/Pets.com stock prices for that to happen.

Twitter has the right to freedom of expression and freedom of association, and this gives them the perfect right to ban people from their platform if they don't agree with what people say. Just like you have the right to ask people to leave your house or business if you don't agree with what they say. Twitter's rights, and your rights, include banning people from platform/home whose political speech they/you don't agree with - which Twitter didn't even do in this case.

In this case, Marjorie Taylor Green's Twitter account was terminated for breach of contract. She was an adult when she signed a written contract with Twitter and opened her account. According to Twitter, she breached the agreement and they elected to choose a remedy that some people don't like. That's just too bad. She isn't facing arrest or imprisonment as a result of her statements. She can go ahead and sue them in civil court if she disagrees!

< whereby it can do all of those internal-facing "exceptional" things you listed

I'm sorry, I hate to repeat myself, but a corporation cannot levy taxes, cannot jail people, cannot execute someone, cannot declare war, all of which a government can do through a variety of legal means. In fact, the US government has so much power that it can do these things through extra legal means and face no consequences whatsoever.

Twitter does not have this kind of power, and I am rightly suspicious of arguments that attempt to frame the situation otherwise, no matter how elegantly or abstractly presented.
It could simply be that parents who let their children have SSB's regularly also indulge them in general, and that indulgence is what leads to the change in executive function.

Also this sounds like changing the goal posts a bit too much after the study protocol was already set:

The distribution of SSB consumption status was highly skewed, and transformation of data was not feasible owing to the large number of people who reported never drinking SSB. Therefore, the frequency of SSB consumption was aggregated and then a new intake category was categorized in order to ensure an adequate number of participants in each group.

The "technical debt" phenomenon is that people try to "write-and-forget" even when they are working on the kind of business app where pretty obviously 90% of the work is going to be maintenance. (e.g. the business changes.)
Yup, Video got removed from twitter and youtube. But could easily be found on Rumble and Bitchute.

When the video is originally hosted on Spotify on the JRE podcast.

Seems crazy why twitter and google feels the need to remove legal content
On the one hand, I'm sad that other people are realizing this because it means they can fix make some better before I can.

On the other hand I probably don't have the ability to make something better so it's good that someone will come up with a solution I can use.
Disagree.

Lumping all age demographics together is irresponsible. People under 50 make up 2/3 of the population but only 7% or covid mortality.

Good public health policy should address the top threats per demographic.

Though I agree with your underlying point, if we can only focus on one problem at a time then we're also doomed.
Certainly Google Images has taken a major dip in quality. I am unable to find images that I could even find a few months ago, and the number of results is shrinking for identical queries. On top of that, they are rolling out an absolutely HORRIBLE interface for image search on mobile.

Google is just in "big company" mode where the company is just so vast that it is nearly impossible to guarantee a consistent product quality. It will continue to offer good salaries and nice perks, but the innovation has stopped, and the company is doomed to inevitably slowly stagnate and fail.
I think the real standard is the amount of people that care about it.

Take the same example of a singer.

v1: "I'm an aspiring singer."

"So far I've played at home & family gatherings..." (<- not real)

v2: "I'm an aspiring singer."

"I have 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify" (<- real)

By that standard, web3 is not 'real'. Not enough people care.

Don't get me wrong, those that care seem to *really* care, but I do not see a future were people will give up the social concept of ownership (which seems like the only thing any web3 project is revolving around) and let some racing computers make that decision for them.

And let's be honest here, even if I'm completely wrong about this, this technology is not even close to being worth to the amount of money thrown at it right now.
You can't even search for GitHub issues anymore. You'll get some mirrored site that has the discussion, and from that webpage, you can't even get a direct link back to GitHub.

What is your source for the claim that suicides are skyrocketing? How do you quantify skyrocketing?

In the US, it looks like suicides fell slightly, according to provisional data:

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsrr/VSRR016.pdf

Even if these statistics are updated upward, I don't see how they can be interpreted as skyrocketing.

Please do your best to stick to facts and source them when convenient.
