Google did good work fighting against SEO over optimization for a long time. Then they gave up and it all went to hell. I stopped using them a few years ago. I found their practice of dropping search terms infuriating. I switched to DuckDuckGo which is arguably lower quality but less infuriating.

Did Home Depot ever teach their employees that kind of stuff? I always assumed they hired people with previous knowledge/experience. It's possible that there are just less people with that experience, that also want to work at a store like Home Depot.

Unfortunately, the Facebook bridge is very broken and no longer maintained. From the public pages I've tried, it only intermittently works on at most half of them.

I don't blame them for not maintaining it though. I grabbed the code to see if I could get it working and realized Facebook has made their newer pages fiendishly difficult to scrape. Assuming one does put in the effort to make it work, how long will it last till it's broken again?

I wish there was a viable alternative platform for organizations where "public" content is actually accessible publicly.
Ask HN: How do you guys plan hobby software projects?
So I'm a completely new developer, only recently started my first job after a career transition. One thing I've realized is that I'm quite bad at actually planning and understanding what I want to build.

For example, around May 2021 I began working on my own toy rendering engine in C++, in part following learnopengl.com. I got to as far implementing my own batch rendering. But I feel like in terms of actually understanding how to architect (is that even an appropriate term here?) my code, in terms of what classes I want for my features and how I want data to flow, I've not really done much of that. I'm not too sure where to start.

I'd appreciate hearing from more seasoned developers about how you begin planning your hobby projects. Right now at work, I'm learning Java and one of the things we learnt was how to use UML diagrams. But is this what people do normally for their projects, or are UML diagrams old fashioned?

Any tips/resources welcome! :)
The private company argument was used back in the civil rights movement too, it was an excuse.

Society banned private companies denying services in law to promote a better and acceptable society.

Sadly, just to re-implement it again under the same old tired argument, it's a private company...

It's not fooling anyone who is being honest, this is just banning people you don't like.

Political group is the new religious group, banning the groups you don't like shouldn't be acceptable in modern society.
Nuclear fuel is made by physically mining the elements that go into it then processing them in an energy intensive process.
That's very odd. I just typed "Soviet Ruble" into Google and every single result on the first page is about the Soviet, not modern Russian, currency[*]. This includes the box of images on the right-hand side, all of which depict USSR money.

Not really sure what to make of this.

[*] With the arguable exception of an Encyclopedia Britannica article on "ruble", which covers USSR, Soviet Union and Belarus currencies at the same time: ruble, the monetary unit of Russia (and the former Soviet Union) and Belarus (spelled rubel)...

Show HN: Signcryption Token Proposal Using Libsodium
There is a difference between turning off nuclear reactors completely while there is not enough renewals to replace them and diverging investment money from renewables by creating a sustainability label to something that causes likely a lot of cost in the future and is risky. In end both maybe wrong .

(Although I believe personally that it makes sense to turn off nuclear reactors, because of the overall cost: waste, reactor shutdown costs and cost related to security and risks: it only takes one fatal failure to add alot of cost. If actually operators would pay for all the costs and include them in the pricing it would be another story. However, currently nuclear power cost are hardly calcultable and commonly the public will pay for it )
I admit Bitwarden is probably the most advanced, but the alternatives I named above (Psono, Passbolt, Passwork) seem not that far behind and some of your research seems a bit superficial.

> Bitwarden has an Android app (two of those didn't)

That's just wrong. All three of the alternatives I mentioned have an Android app. I haven't used any of them, though.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.psono.pson...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.passwork.p...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.passbolt.m...

> has been security audited (I didn't see anything for those other ones)

A quick search turns up at least some auditing activity:

Passbolt: https://www.passbolt.com/incidents

Psono: https://doc.psono.com/admin/asvs/overview.html (self-audit)

Looking more closely at Passwork, they claim to have open/auditable source code, but I can't find any public code. So they are out of the game anyway.

> Bitwarden has a much better pricing structure around non business users. It has a free tier and plans for families/non business users, as well as business use. Those others had nothing comparable that I could see except for a limited free tier.

Psono's full-featured enterprise version is free for anyone with up to 10 users. I don't see any such generous offer at Bitwarden or elsewhere.

And both, Psono and Passbolt offer unlimited business tiers for only 3€ per user per month which seems to be in the range of what Bitwarden costs. I don't really see your argument for the pricing.

I have used Common Lisp for a ton of paid work since 1982. That said, in the last 7 years people have paid me to do deep learning work, so that work uses Python. Follow the money.

I am deeply bound up in Common Lisp because of my history. However, if I may make a suggestion: you might want to take a careful look at Racket: easy to make standalone apps, good libraries, large community, and if you don't like Emacs, the Racket IDE is really pretty good. Sit in on one of the online Racket conferences to see many kinds of cool applications and libraries people use Racket for.

I am not particularly noise sensitive, so the amount of sound separation you get just by being in a separate room is usually enough for me.

Among other things, this says the belief that "violence against the government can at times be justified" is far more prevalent on the white right than among other people.

It definitely was not always this way in the USA, this is very different than what you would have found even 20 years ago.

In addition to seeming possibly threatening for those of us not on the white right, I think it demonstrates that people "mad as hell who aren't going to take it anymore" are largely finding a home on the right and not the left. Again, it wasn't always this way. Somehow what anti-systemic left may exist is no longer visible or accessible.
Yep, agree. And as an example, things shift (i.e. transfer attention from one "account" to another another "account") such as TV consumption: https://www.statista.com/statistics/186833/average-televisio...

tldr: It's down. But why? Did everyone wise up and decide watching as much television was not good for them so they started to do more productive things? No, of course not. Time was simply shifted to other entertainment mediums, like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Youtube, and so on.

In another 10 or 20 years, it wills surely shift several more times, too. And so it goes...

Recipes have somehow become one of the absolute worst parts of the internet. Google results are consistently dominated by websites that will require scrolling past multiple screens of narrative and increasingly some clicks to see the actual recipe. And when you start looking, you quickly discover that most of the time these websites are just repeating recipes from well known sources like The Joy of Cooking, or worse they have made changes that it's not clear they ever actually tested.
I think this is how giants fall. The various titans of times long gone - steel, chemical companies, mines etc. were one day so mighty that it was impossible to imagine them faltering. And then they stumbled, then tripped, then eventually fell.

Google, Facebook, Amazon will probably all eventually be replaced by a plucky, energetic and hungry competitor out of nowhere, just as they exploded in the faces of the predecessors.

Coincidentally all the natural cause deaths in my circle were “natural” diseases like cancer and COVID-19. I’m in my 30s now, and no longer really hang out with (non-functional) drug addicts anymore though. YMMV.
This is the only metric still left, which ma be just time delayed.

Also people in ICU with covid may not be the same thing as people in ICU because of covid. It may likely just be that very sick people in hospitals are refusing the vaccine and catching it.
Hospitals are confined spaces that aid in transmission of all kinds of diseases.

The difference is 40 people out of a population of 14.5 million.
So small it could literally be people with terminal diseases catching covid on their death beds.

To use this to advocate for any preventative effect in a healthy individual in the general population would be misleading.
Very likely the difference is just sampling bias.
Github issue clones and StackOverflow clones pretty much dominate most of my programming related search results these days.

Unfortunately DDG isn't much better.

It takes a lot of effort to finesse a search query such that I can get a good result, like a link to documentation or a personal website where someone wrote something up (which is often more thoughtful than what Medium and Dev.to offer).
Note that the post you reply to is talking about 80% effort and not 80% of the time. At least it is my interpretation since a (normal) person cannot usually have 80% of the day for fun activities and only 20% for work.
I've noticed exactly this. One thing I do from time to time is try to find a song after just remembering partial lyrics. It used to work so well it felt like magic.

The last two weeks I've had two occurrences where the lyrics I remembered contained a common word which was also a brand name. It focused on that and completely ignored the rest of my query. So in both cases I added "lyrics" and now it ignored all but one word which happened to be the title of another song, no matter how I massaged the query.
> You can’t expect people to hunt down the preferred pronouns of everyone that writes

No, but I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect they'll look at the name at the bottom of the article and use the most likely matching pronouns instead of assuming male because it's tech. If that turns out to be incorrect at least it's an honest mistake, not a stereotype. "You can't expect" is just an excuse for not making any attempt to respect people's wishes in this regard, and IMO counts as transphobia.
I was diagnosed with CFS, and it turned out to be coeliac disease.

> I was more productive with phones that had a physical QWERTY keyboard

I miss those too.

My favorite was the Samsung Sidekick 4G. I was able to modify the keyboard map to include the missing ASCII characters, and actually did a little programming with it. The HTC G1 had a decent keyboard too. After the Sidekick 4G was past its prime, I considered trying to mod a Motorola Photon Q to work with my carrier, but the phone was expensive.

I never really liked the phones that had portrait mode keyboards like the BBs though.

Wiki articles linked below confirm.

Both honey and HCFS usually contain a bulk composition of a 40:60 to 60:40 ratio of fructose to glucose. There are variations in honey and different grades of HCFS. Honey contains a few other sugars in considerably smaller amounts, and a few percent of "other" stuff, HCFS likewise contains a bit of other material.

So either you believe that the minor components of one or the other is what is "good" or "bad" for you or you're the victim of magical thinking that something "natural" is better than something "synthetic" despite being substantially identical.

> They were trending up but there was a very sharp increase once the epidemic started.

Opioid deaths increased 1014% from 2013 to 2019. This is an average compound growth rate of 46.8% per year over that span.

Opioid deaths increased by about 50% from 2019 to 2020.

It looks like they increased by less than 40% from 2020 to 2021. So over the past 2 years we have had the same increase rate as from the entire span.

While not perfect, it was often good enough. Go in, see 6 cameras in three price ranges, choose the one fitting the best for the price you're willing to pay, then walk home happy. Now there's sooo much choice, and most of us end up trying to find the perfect purchase.

I find the online games very addictive but for a lot of the time they aren't very enjoyable and then for a brief period they are very exciting (the adrenaline I'm speaking about). The game that resonated with me most emotionally was The Last of Us: Part 2 but I couldn't play it regularly or I think it would lose its charm. I generally feel quite conflicted about gaming because of this: there are games (like TLOU) that I'm glad to have experienced, but the ones that I spend the most time playing are only enjoyable some of the time (usually when I win). I think this is what I define as my own addiction: continuing to do something that doesn't bring me pleasure.

> Anyone who complains about search engine result quality is a completely different demographic from the typical person. I don't think Google's search as gotten worse but rather typical user (i.e. training data) becoming more average.

I hear this argument a lot, and I think it is a cop out.

Google literally bills itself as being able to personalize itself to your interests and being able to learn based on your queries. On top of that, google used to work 7 years ago essentially perfectly. If there were really such a divergence between myself and "typical users" you'd have heard them all complain about google then, because they were using it also.

What's going on here is a misalignment of incentives between users and Google. They don't have an interest in being useful, they have an interest in herding eyes to the most profitable places and in using people to train their AI. They believe nobody can oust them as incumbent and so they no longer feel they have to deliver a good product if doing that hurts the bottom line.
> And if detecting SEO bullshit life stories is hard...

I took the opposite approach in my browser extension, detecting if a recipe is on the page and cloning it to the top of the page. I suppose you could add an accumulator to see how much visible text is on the page outside the recipe on pages where recipes are present to see the distribution of signal:noise. I'd be very interested in the results of a large-scale survey like that!

Reminds me of that quote: "Never argue with a fool; people might not be able to tell the difference."
You mean to tell me that when you use Google design paradigms, to implement Google promoted "best practices" in a way that scores highly on Googles own test suite and build it on Google promoted Javascript-by-the-pound libraries and then strap it with Google analytics and ads, promote it with Google ads, and then host it on Google cloud platform that you're actually building a dirtier, shittier web?

Well paint me surprised.

Where does Twitter's user agreement say "you're not allowed to express any of these opinions"? Otherwise, your argument feels like hyperbole to me.
This quote from a Wikipedia article about a Heinlein book is apt for this. It makes me think that what has happened here is not only inevitable for any disruptive tech company that grows large enough, but also any other sort of human collective in general:

"This theme is echoed elsewhere in Heinlein's works – that real liberty is to be found among the pioneer societies out along the advancing frontier, but the regimentation and legalism that follow bring restraints that chafe true individualists."

It's true enough in western societies that we specifically needed Cockpit Resource Management as a tool to overcome deference to senior officers. A classic example being KLM captain van Zanten from the Tenerife disaster.

I hate that this thread descended into chauvinism and generalized cultural value judgments. The problem of excessive deference to authority plagues all cultures. By not being obsessed about saving face for our own society and acknowledging our own flaws, we make it easier for all of us to learn together.
Mail from Mailchimp is typically indistinguishable from a phishing attempt.

A company so clueless about internet security as to send out in bulk what are indistinguishable from phishing attempts clearly cannot be trusted to help manage your login/signup process.

And, any company seen to trust an outsourcer as clueless as Mailchimp cannot be trusted with your personal information, never mind your banking or stock transactions.

For particular example, Carta, a stock certificate management site, uses such an e-mail outsourcer.
