If I use an incognito window I don't get the crappy results either.

My feeling is that since that query is SO unusual for me, based on my search history (I can't even say what it means) it raises the "likelyhood" that the hacked spam sites with programming terms that also include those keywords are good results for me.

If I search for something more typical, like "Spider-Man No Way Home" or "Ruby rails tutorial" the results don't include hacked sites.

The site supports the recent browser versions. Always has, always will. That behavior has not changed.
The idea is to introduce a bit of sanity into the current world, to calm down overreactions to every new, scary looking variant. And on the flip side - to identify the truly scary ones early on, so that proper measures can be taken.

But the idea above directly follows from the work in the paper.

There is no protection against leaking these URLs and there is also no authenticated access history stored. Since you are supposed to show them to many people everyday, they are basically public.
I think this is a pretty big stretch. What does it mean for the "entry to be open in the system"? You think it is more likely the test center lost its internet connection for multiple days than that Djokovic lied?
Microsoft is such a weird company these days. So many contradictory patterns across its arms that it is hard to characterize it as having a singular corporate philosophy. On the one hand, you have windows which has moved more and more towards surveillance and users not really controlling/owning their own software...but then you have the moves towards embracing (and not extinguishing) open source interoperability, and now promoting DIY repairs on their hardware.

> Mason wage was fairly representative of other “middle class” citizens (merchants, clerks, craftsmen, etc).

Very interesting analysis overall, but my biggest nitpick is that it's easy to call this group middle class, but it's so much smaller of a percentage of the population than we might be used to today. For roughly every 20 farmers, there may have been 1-2 people who were literally anything else. That's craftsmen, nobles, clergy, etc.

I think that behavior is totally fine, but only if the change is communicated to the people using the program or library.

I had an interesting issue with Nuget package manager. Authors of some open-source package we’re using changed their license from permissive MSPL into another one which only allows non-commercial use and also says “reserves the right to modify this Agreement at all times without notice”, LOL.

At some point, I pressed a button in visual studio to upgrade dependent packages if our software. The project it relatively large. It’s developed by a team of people over years, and has dozens of dependencies. The project builds a desktop software which doesn’t listen on any sockets or installs any services, security is not an issue, so I only pressing that button couple times a year. A few of these third-party libraries were automatically updated. I have built and tested the software, and called it a day.

It was mere luck I noticed the change of the license of that library before we built new public release of our software.

Not sure everyone agrees, but I think the responsibility is largely on Microsoft, not the package authors. When a package author changes their license to be more restrictive, I would expect Visual Studio should stop upgrading the dependency, and show the developer doing the upgrade some message box with human-readable error text, and links to old and new licenses. That didn’t happen, it was no popups, no messages, nothing I could possibly notice and react.

Chrome is terrible as it sends extra metadata to Google domains which can be used to track you. It however doesn't come as a surprise as it's a browser made by an advertising company notorious for tracking users.

Firefox by default is on par with other mainstream browsers but at least most other browsers don't shout "privacy!" at every possible opportunity.

Firefox with some configuration options changed and uBlock Origin is very good but changing configuration from the defaults exposes you to extra fingerprinting, so it's a double-edged sword.
Does Github plan on deprecating the https://TOKEN@URL.git auth form? That is extremely convenient.
That really depends on their reason for preventing further software updates.

If the hardware is actually, physically incapable of running later versions (AKA your Chromebook would crash and burn on boot), sure.

Any other case it's corporate greed and/or laziness.
> Can you have the same identity if you change your number/carrier?

Identity seems to be tied to a number (not carrier), but Messages uses Google Contacts as an optional layer of indirection.

So, if you change your number, and the other person changes (or adds) the number to your existing contact, your identity is preserved (for them). If the other person creates a new contact for your new number (or doesn't associate the new number with any contact), identity is not preserved.

> Can you use it not on the smartphone?

Yes, you can use Google Messages for Web on a computer, but the authentication is still tied to the phone via a QR code, and I think that communication actually is relayed through the phone if the conversation is via SMS rather than RCS.

> Can you use it without cellular data Eg with Wi-Fi only?

Yes.

> Can you throw out the SIM card and still send/receive messages?

I think that the answer is generally 'no', but there are a few edge cases (eg. I'm not sure what happens if you auth Google Messages for Web on a computer, set it to remember the device auth indefinitely, and then remove the SIM or turn off the phone).

> If the answers is 'no' then it is a carrier lock-in.

As you can see, the answer isn't quite so black and white.

I keep mine off unless it's a smaller group and I expect to be participating a lot. Or if it's a one-on-one. I'm often listening while I'm doing something else if I'm not that invested in the conversation currently at hand, so why show everyone that I'm not paying close attention. Especially if it's a larger group. If I need to comment on something, I'll turn it on while I am participating, then I'll turn it back off.

It's the UI latency that annoys me. I just opened it on my phone and had to wait 8 seconds before the "Listen Now" screen appeared. Same wait when I click on the "Browse".

Plus lots of irritating UI deficiencies, especially on the Mac version.
Most of the major Italian newspapers' websites have paywalls but most libraries provide free online access to thousands and thousands of magazines and newspapers.

E.g. my local library system (here in US) uses PressReader and it has the Corriere (one of the major Italian newspapers) as well as 'Gazzetta dello Sport', 'Libero', 'Il Foglio', 'Il Tempo', '24 Ore' (economy news, similar to FT, down to the page color), etc.

Most daily newspapers would typically have weekly sections on specific topics, e.g. Corriere has 'Scienza e ambiente' etc.
As for technical jargon, on the magazine front and on the same site, you can find the Italian edition of Wired as well as several other magazines on Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.

Specifically relevant for your use-case, one of the monthly magazines is 'Hacker Journal'.

Having said that, the UX of the PressReader site is workable but not great (you can get the 'full fidelity' view but it requires a lot of scrolling around to read, or you can use a 'text' view that is more accessible).

Several issues seem to be on archive.org so you don't even need a library account for that: https://archive.org/details/hackerjournal_italian.
Chrome OS devices are not locked down in the slightest. You can run any browser you want in Chrome OS via the Play Store or as a Linux app. Furthermore, every Chrome OS device can be unlocked to run any OS you want. You can install Chromium OS, Linux, or even Windows if you like. They are not at all like iPads.
This deserves more attention. Thank you for this.

> It's impossible to make binding long-term promises in a democracy.

We can make binding financial promises at least. It's entirely possible to grant nuclear workers each a personal 60 year annuity managed by a consortium of foreign banks, and requiring the worker to pick between working as an engineer, returning the annuity, or sitting in prison.

My bet is that Serbian government participated in "helping" Djokovic get a pass here. It's not an old history when some (neighbouring) country was manipulating tests at massive scale. The Serbian president was one of the first to shout about "discrimination", not even knowing yet what are the rules to enter Australia. Hopefully authorities will get to the bottom of this story.
Ah I remember Eclipse. You want to write some Java. Someone tells you "use an IDE". So you google for Java IDEs. Eclipse is the top result. So you click to the website. You're presented with many confusing downloads. Do you use Eclipse Gallileo, Eclipse Europa, Eclipse Ganymede? No difference is explained. Do you want Eclipse for J2EE or EJB or J2SE? Do you want Eclipse Classic (wtf is that?). Do you want the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers?

Then you open it. If it doesn't immediately crash, you'll have random crashes when the UI gets confused (maybe you opened a dialog and then closed it's parent window). Plus simple things like build configurations are hard to find. Plus, the IDE likes to go into various "perspectives". Open a Java project? That's fine, the perspective makes sense. Oh you hit the debug button? Your entire UI has rearranged, and it's hard to tel how to get back, and how to configure this nee view. Oh you opened a C++ project for a quick edit? The layout is completely different from the Java layout. Do you not love it?

This is heartening. It was hugely influential on the Xerox Star and by extension, Lisa and Mac, even though we didn't actually write in it. It showed you a different way of thinking about things.

As someone who grew up in Elk Grove since 2001 and still visits every few months, it's an example of both NIMBY and YIMBY policies. It seems Elk Grove's city hall followed NIMBY tendencies and zoned many areas as RD-5 or worse, prohibiting multi-family dwellings. Its sprawl was partially caused by developers doing "hopscotch development" - Delta Shores was empty for over 20 years before that was infilled and the lots behind it are still empty. Same applies to the Costco and Mercy Hospital near Trader Joe's. Moving on, Elk Grove also has redeeming qualities - it is a suburb that is very racially diverse, partially thanks to the newer, relatively affordable houses in the south. I attended Cosumnes Oaks High School when it was still a lottery admissions system and saw this myself (and after it was switched to a zone admissions system that favored low-income neighborhoods, heardabout the subsequent increase in fights). However, an interesting highlight is the concept surrounding Laguna Town Hall (created when Laguna was trying to split off into its own city). There's apartments, restaurants, a large park, and an Apple campus within walking distance of each other. You can also see good ideas like new senior apartments being built right next to the Trader Joe's in Costco shopping centers for walkability. And I'd be remiss if I'd I didn't mention Elk Grove's network of bike trails, which my father says are enjoyable to ride.

So I'd say Elk Grove's sprawl was driven by NIMBY-style regulation that encouraged low density housing and failed to address the effects of hopscotch development. Within those failures, Elk Grove has a few gimpses of higher density and urban planning, as well as anecdotes about the benefits of mixing different socioeconomic classes.

The one who made the order ("Robin") has not paid the contractor.
This makes it possible for the contractor to claim that "Robin" owns him the money. "Robin" is a real world person who the contractor has met, so the contractor can send an invoice to "Robin" for the work and hopefully "Robin" will pay. If "Robin" does not pay they can go to court and it will very likely work out in the contractors favor.
Hi! I want to create a web app like Google docs where multiple users can collaborate in real time to edit the document together (using a special link like gdocs generate). I want to save the docs in a MySQL db (no firebase)

My questions are:

1) Since multiple people are working together how does one manage conflicts, i.e. 2 people sending different edits simultaneously.

2) If one clients gets disconnected (4g) and then reconnects later how does it sync the changes it made during it was offline?

I recently watched this RAFT presentation (1) and I think I would need to use something like this?

What other alternatives are viable?

Also can I make it happen using just PHP, Javascript and MySQL?

Thanks

Righteousness caused 1000 years of war in Europe - our religion is right, no, our religion is right.

This was ended by the Peace of Westphalia, when nations decided that there is no right religion, and that everybody loses if they fight righteousness wars.

But then a different kind of righteousness appeared, we are the righteousness people (nazi), or we are the righteousness kind of leadership (communism vs capitalism).

OT: what sports and games have the most open major "Open"s? Are any more open than US chess?

The US Open in chess is open to anyone who is a USCF member, which is anyone who wants to buy a membership ($45/year, $40 for seniors, $27 for young adults, $20 for youth, $85 family plan covers parent and children under 19 and college age students up to 24, $55 family plan that covers all children under 19 in the same household). Obtain a USCF membership, pay the US Open entry fee, and you are in.

When you play in the open, regardless of whether you are an experience pro grandmaster or some newbie who barely knows the rules that entered on a whim, everyone is in the same group. It uses the Swiss system rather than a knockout system, so every plays the same number of games.

There's really not much difference as far as the tournament goes between that top grandmaster and that newbie, except that the press and spectators will be a lot more interested in watching the grandmaster play, so the top boards will usually be set off in some place making it easier for observers, and they might be fancy wood boards and set instead of the paper or vinyl boards and plastic pieces most players will be using, and maybe nicer chairs.

If that newbie wins enough to be a leader, that newbie will be playing on those top boards.

If that grandmaster has some bad games and ends up in the middle of the pack, they will be down playing with the hoi polloi.

BTW, if you win the US Open you are automatically invited to the US Championship, an invitation only round robin tournament.

Every other year the US Championship also serves as the "zonal" tournament for the US in the World Championship cycle. Doing well in your zone's zonal earns you a spot in the FIDE World Cup. Doing well in the World Cup earns you a spot in the Candidates Tournament. Win that and you are the next challenger for the World Chess Championship.

In chess then if you sell your soul to the Devil in exchange for winning the next 50 games of chess you play you should be able to become World Champion!

9 to sweep the US Open, 11 to sweep the US Championship, 8 for the World Cup, 14 for the Candidates Tournament, and 8 for your match with Carlsen for the Championship.

Is there any other individual sport or game where selling your soul gets you such a short path from complete unknown to World Champion?
I hope you're right. It feels like Google has an awful lot of power over the future of the internet a the moment.
While these are real risks, it's worth pointing out two things:

- This wasn't just "a single Tsunami", it was the Tsunami resulting from the 4th largest earthquake ever recorded happening just a few hundred km away.

- The design of the plant was really old - construction began only 33 years after the death of Marie Curie, and the design was older than that.

The effects of the disaster are absolutely terrible, and we should definitely make sure it doesn't happen again - but we should also not ignore that more modern plants don't have the same design flaws, and that events with enough destructive force to shift the entire planet on its axis by 10-25cm are not common (and if they become so, we have additional problems).
