Defensive programming is important. It's better to get an assertion at the API level about a null than an error message that + cannot add 42 and null.
I work for Google Search. We have several ways for you to do this. The easies is to put quotes around a word or a phrase that you absolutely, positively want to be present in content retrieved. And yes -- it still works. It really really does, but if you or anyone finds an example where you believe it doesn't, please let me know. We'll debug it. The reasons people sometimes think it's not working is because the text appears in ALT text, or it appears in text that's not readily visible on a page (maybe in a menu bar or small text), or there's punctuation ("dog cat" will match "dog, cat") or sometimes a page has changed after we've indexed it (so view the cached copy, if available). You can also use verbatim mode from the toolbar so that we search for only the exact words you provide.
Congrats with the site. I've only just had a glance at it, but I think there's a lot you can do. Make it HTTPS first of all, research all keywords that relate to sudoku, write a long article about it and have it on the main page. Make sure you on-page SEO is good and keep doing off-page SEO (getting backlinks). If you want to take SEO a bit more seriously, read through a guide like this to start with: https://backlinko.com/seo-this-year. That's what I did to de-mystify SEO in the beginning.
The Fixedsys-esque font in conjunction with the Anime aesthetic seems to tilt more towards vaporwave IMO.
Yeah, that is true though Dang has remarkably few peers when evaluated on effectiveness.

That said, we see his efforts and when we model them, we amplify an already solid showing.

That's how I choose to play it. Hope it helps. I think it does.

> if you get a receipt then you could actually try to reverse it

Store puts up a 'No returns' sign, you have finality.
The value proposition is in surfacing a result that you wouldn't already have from the free search engine. Your personal calculus will of course vary but lets do a basic business case with the following assumptions

Free search engines work 95% of the time for your employees searches

Kagi can get a result in half of the remaining 5% (this is definetly the biggest assumption and I haven't had enough experience with kagi to say if this is realistic)

Your employee does 1 search a day and 30 days in a month (so kagi gets you 0.75 more completed searches a month).

It takes an employee 15 minutes to search manually through documentation or come up with a solved algorithm from first principals when the search fails.

In that situation your employees time needs to be worth less than $53.33 dollars an hour for the $10 dollar plan not to break even.

So play with the numbers how you want to make up your own mind but it does seem reasonable to argue there's a market for it at that price. Personal use where missing a result could have no cost is ofcourse another question.

edit: 0.75 not 1.5 searches a month extra
Not to mention that until they finally had a first-class Terraform provider, their CDN was absolute nightmare to manage at-scale. If you only have a handful of properties then sure, it's fine. You can just point-and-click your way around and make it work. Anything more than that and it was very painful.
Clicking or tapping on the background ‘behind’ a modal dialog should close that dialog. Netflix and Hulu keep breaking and fixing and breaking and fixing this.

Some clicking / tapping controls should be available in the video player without first clicking / tapping to make the controls appear. C/t in the center should play / pause. Generally on the left and right sides should go back / forward by n seconds.

After a commercial break, seeking back to re-watch what happened before the break, or back to catch what you missed right after the break, should not force re-watching of the commercials. Hulu is horrible about this.

Edit: Also, allow seeking backwards in commercials!! Some commercials are interesting in some way. Why on earth would you prevent customers from watching more commercial time?
f. I've been using Linode since before "cloud" became a buzzword. I'm sure it's just a matter of time until the screws get turned. That seems to be the economic environment we're currently in, too.

Maybe Akamai will stop blocking Linode IPs for their firewall snake oil? One can dream.

Sure, that is what the article literally says ("the Feds can move your Bitcoin without your private keys!"), but I think the point he's trying to make is more along the lines of "in-system transaction finality isn't everything".
> Linode support may be better than Amex Platinum Card support.

If talking about today, almost assuredly given your description.

This is pretty offtopic to the OP but I felt compelled to chime in as it really irritates me, that Amex support has gone into the toilet over the past 2 years or so. I remember a time when you called, and someone would just answer "hello mr xxx" if it was the number on file. Now it's phone menus, typing in your card number, other details, hold times, etc...even on Platinum support.
the best praise I've received for something I worked on was:

This is an absolutely batshit crazy idea. I love it.

Sometimes its just fun to do something that's ridiculous. We're all talking about it here, aren't we?

Great news for the Linode team. Another isolated silo for Akamai. Honestly the way Akamai pieces together product offerings through acquisitions to compete has made it very difficult to leverage their portfolio without hiring consulting firm to integrate a solution.
The picture element let’s you do that very conveniently w/o checking the UA. It’s a bit like a switch statement.
Keys didn't have anything to do with it, he stole user funds.

Users deposited cash and crypto assets with the exchange in order to trade. Gerald sold some of the users' crypto to buy nice things for himself. This was theft. When the price of bitcoin went up, the dollar value of the crypto he owed to users went up, and he could no longer cover it. He may have only stolen $10 million or so, but he ended up owing $100s of millions.
See another reply above mine: transactions never got reversed on blockchain. Outside chain activities, like seizing private keys, are fundamentally different in bitcoin.
For simple things only.
For example, the jit class in Numba is still experimental, and quite limited.
So if you need to write non-trivial class, even if you jit each method,
dropping to Python can be a problem (say with lots of instances.)

I have tried to write an application targeting HPC
and in itself is not very complicated (probably ~2000 lines or in that order.)
But I did things like using the Python language as the metaprogramming language for Numba (basically higher-order function where you jit inside.)

All in all my experience of Numba tells me that if I am designing the same package
now I'd write it in Julia where jit is "first class" and you don't need to
constantly thing about the boundary between Numba and Python.
It's intentional, because there is no RTL override in the HTML source, the string is merely reversed.

I wonder if Cloudflare is thinking about acquiring DO to round up their next-gen cloud.

DO's UI has gone downhill since 2017. It is so bloated and large. Used to be very compact.

Folks from Cloudflare if you're reading this - please keep your UI compact. Your main UI (Dashboard) looks more compact that the docs[1] which are too sparse and terrible for developers who are not average consumers. They can handle the complexity. They also appear to be designed by two separate UI design teams. You guys need an authoritarian designer at the top.

Agreed. The alternative would have us creating accounts, server-side storage, and supporting all this. No way this could be free, without ads.
Yes, I wonder how a systemd-inspired iPod would work. It would surely have multiple webservers, even if it had no network connection.
It reads open source core which means it's not fully open source. So the product page isn't exactly clear to me what's being offered. Although it is possible to have a sass with a fully open source code base of course.
That's so funny, because I use Google to search reddit, because Google's search of reddit is better than Reddit's.
Everyone here is asking if this is an "intentional easter-egg" or an "accidental bug"

Hey! Glad you like it. I made an update now that I think should fix this.
> Florida’s theft laws make it clear that theft of any type is illegal, but recently one Florida court has put a different spin on the situation. In the case of T.D.W. v. State, 42 So. 3d 959 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010), the juvenile defendant (FYI, juvenile names are always abbreviated) was convicted of Robbery because he forcefully approached a victim to retrieve his cell phone. T.D.W. testified at trial that he had a good faith belief that the victim possessed his cell phone, so he was going to take it back. At this point, it’s important to note that, technically speaking, a theft charge arises out of an ‘intent to deprive an owner of property’. So, how could a theft occur if the victim of the robbery wasn’t actually the ‘owner’ of the cell phone? The court in T.D.W. threw out T.D.W.’s conviction, reasoning that “a well-founded belief in one’s right to the allegedly stolen property constitutes a complete defense to a charge of theft”, as per a prior court ruling in Thomas v. State, 526 So. 2d 183 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988).

From the behavior of ads (that I imagine are highly optimized), all that knowledge is useful for front-running an specific TV model all over your internet once you decide to buy a TV.

It seems to be completely useless for anything else, and specifically harmful for product discovery, that is the one way ads add societal value.
That Ethereum Classic never reversed is true but largely meaningless; what matters, as you say, is that "the not-actually-reversed transaction has lost value in $ at mark-to-market." That loss in value represents the reversal. If that hadn't happened, the original and fork could be double-spent.
Haha. I'm glad you liked it .

This is a great list, and OP's frustrations with existing services match mine quite well.

> On launch, it must be immediately obvious how to resume watching whatever the user was watching previously. This may be the most important feature outside the video player itself.

> If the user was in the middle of watching an episode of a TV show, the most prominent thing on the screen should be a way to continue that episode. If the user just finished an episode, then “resuming” means watching the next episode, and so on.

With my speculate hat on, I've hypothesized the lack of this screamingly obvious feature is a deliberate choice designed to encourage users to "discover" new shows, since I imagine that's a metric they want to increase.
Use of localStorage and no back end was arguably what enabled Wordle to withstand super-viral success despite it being merely a side project.
A very curious case is that huddles for me work in wayland (under sway), and don't work in X11 (under i3), for the exact same configuration otherwise. I have not investigated what exactly the browser sends.

We will have an open-source core framework (the Python decorator part). Kind of following the DBT model. Still very early (in alpha) so will not open source until the beta development begins.
I've had a Linode for many years with no problems, and have had to use their excellent phone service once.

I tried DO and hated it because they used a zillion 3rd-party services on all their internal web pages (after being signed in) so I was in a constant battle enabling things with NoScript.

I have a small Vultr VM I use for testing. Their site didn't require enabling a bunch of 3rd-party domains. They've been rock solid as well, like Linode, and cheap as dirt: I have a small VM with IP4 from years ago for $2.50/mo
You are presuming conservatives think like progressives - where ideology is paramount - it's NOT and they DON'T. Read Jonathan Haidt's book about this.
> He doesn't say that one should let untruths flourish every single time.

The point is that people who make this argument will often let that implication stand. This is clear, given how the argument is phrased - and clearest of all, I would argue, when places like HN are called "toxic" or "bad/awful" in the process. And of course the distinction has consequences. Letting untruths fester can be dangerous or detrimental to the public in some cases, and this is precisely where a hardnosed "no BS" attitude is most helpful.

Try to do it yourself. You would quickly find out what it is not a reliable method.

I'm very much the same way. For a lot of lower-effort SaaS offerings I look at them and think: "I can't believe people pay for this when I can replicate the parts I need with a few Python scripts or a simple Rails app". The things I am willing to pay for are often much more ambitious businesses and would likely require far more effort than I'm willing to devote (i.e. things like Digital Ocean or Fastmail).
I've been thinking about this for a localstorage based app that I'm tinkering around with. You can do webrtc without a STUN server, but it requires exchanging a chunk of ugly metadata with another person.

I've been wondering whether IPFS might be a good answer to that - there is this, which supposedly works in the browser. https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs

Dump webrtc metadata onto ipfs, give the user the hash back as a "document key" (and maybe a password that was used to encrypt the webrtc metadata) to share with other people; they paste in the key, enter password, and tada, you have a multi user application backed by localstorage.

Of course this wouldn't survive a user changing IP (and perhaps other network attributes) but that might be an OK feature.
I tries you search engine with a few queries and I was pleasantly surprised! Keep up the good work!

How are users supposed to write "עבור אל duckduckgo.com כדי לחפש באינטרנט" without \u202E? It's perfectly normal for RTL languages to switch text direction in the middle of a sentence.
Browsers already persist and sync saved passwords and browser history to back-end accounts.

Perhaps localStorage could also be persisted/synced?
I think the only reason that I browsed this is that Linode hosts a mattermost instance of mine, I'm happy with them, and I don't want anything to change.
It sounds like the Shanling M0 fits your bill: https://en.shanling.com/product/222

Thanks .

Yes I have. Most solitaire games these days have an option of playing a fully random game or a winnable deal. The automatic deal when a user comes to the site is a winnable deal.
It's not supposed to feel good. If 9/10 people have a brief negative thought about the advertising experience and nothing else happens, but 1/10 people happen to have their friend on the phone at the time and makes a referral, then overall that is a win for the brand.
> the automation less obvious and also using enough real interaction you could do massive manipulation

I think this has already been done with r/politics. I've created new reddit accounts to argue with people on there a few times and find them being banned within a few weeks for the most trivial of infractions, simply comments like 'I find it hard to believe someone would express that belief in good faith' get you banned, and as you don't get a ban without a report someone has to be reporting comments that no reasonable person would report.

I came to the conclusion - after a while - that it's a secretly walled garden, that basically 100% of the content is automated, probably by bot-runners aligned with the moderators, and that users that stray into it are intensely surveilled until a plausible reason exists to ban them. There is zero metacommentary allowed and making a post 'about the moderation of this subreddit' gets you banned for metacommentary. You now also aren't allowed to question user activity, so if someone's account history is 100% botlike you get a ban for pointing it out.
Well said - much more succinctly put than my own response.

> it's a set of tradeoffs that didn't land the way OP would prefer, but that doesn't make it universally wrong.

That's really the heart of the issue for me. There are users who are more concerned about privacy and owning their data who would prefer this trade-off. Also, indie developers who are working with constrained budgets may choose to architect with this limitation. I'm a big fan of looking at how we can design apps that put data back in the user's control. I think local storage is a really great technology to decentralise apps.
Extremely bad design. This kind of complexity should have been moved to some kind of post-processing spec rather than core Unicode. It's already causing issues and will cause more. The more universal something is, the more effort should be applied to keeping it simple.
The target market for Chromebooks is as far as it can get for the privileged who can buy their kids and close ones latest macbooks, it's like suggesting some sort of sportscar instead of wolkswagen saying with good financing they are not that expensive to keep up.

Something like that .
I hate to say it but I recently moved away from Linode after their /64 block in Frankfurt was banned by all Google services. And even though all their kubernetes nodes have a public ipv4 address they were somehow unable to fallback on this when their ipv6 didn't work.

And when I suggested this to their support they acted like I was crazy and said there is no way to switch between ipv4 and ipv6. Well I don't work in networking but I do work for a major telco and I know our networking guys could have done that routing change, easy.

This reminds me of Cory Doctorow's "whuffie" from Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom (man, that title takes me back!).

Whuffie is, roughly, money determined by your social interactions. More importantly, others also have a queryable score that's weighted according to who you esteem highly - this sounds like what you're proposing!
> What a bank can do for "free" (really just very low cost) in fiat would compete for scarce transaction slots in crypto.

This doesn't seem to be the problem. If 1% of transactions need a second transaction to reverse them, we can amortize this cost over all transactions and say reversibility adds on average 1% to transaction costs - hardly significant when choosing a payment mechanism.

Reversing significantly more transactions than that isn't normal. If you try to reverse 10% of your credit card payments, you'll soon need a new credit card issuer.

DeLorean Is Being Revived (Again), This Time as Electric Vehicle
After dealing with Akamai at a past role I can only offer my condolences to Linode customers.
I don't think the first point is accurate. You have to study the entire system, which is made up of two parts:

1. Storage

2. Payment rail

If your storage is solid (e.g. keys in brain wallet, account in crooked bank, money in shoebox) and the payment rail is solid (e.g. gold, cryptocurrency, cash), you're good. (To clarify, "solid" here means "beyond the legal-regulatory system", which means the rules aren't trumped.) Otherwise, you aren't.

I say that Bitcoin has "finality," because it does the job of payment rail with 100% irreversibility.

Grant that Bitcoin is a mediocre storage (1). But the payment rail (2) truly is irreversible. The combined system of two disjoint parts, built out of bitcoin-as-storage and bitcoin-as-payment-rail, is not.
What's your definition of 'solve'?

I mean I could tell you who did a robbery, but proving it to the criminal standard of proof is a very different proposition.

Burglary isn't getting solved without a) CCTV and a subsequent ID or b) DNA or fingerprints.
