How is it reinventing the wheel if there are already millions of LOC out there that use it? This is a debugging/development feature. The pre-processor already exists, but if you can iterate rapidly without having to run it and without having to hassle with stuff like source maps, that's a huge workflow improvement. Even without these type annotations any production javascript of moderate size is already getting minified and compressed before deployment regardless of whether type hints are used.

Right now when I'm authoring typescript in vscode, I get live error feedback from tsc and eslint in the editor, so in practice I only need to run tsc to "build" because I need to strip out all the typescript syntax. If that syntax became usable in a modern browser I could skip that build step during development and only run it for deploys to CI, staging and production.
Good default. Now give us a separate switch: "Russian Propaganda: on|off", similar to "Save Search".
I personally don't like this move but seeing a lot other companies standing against Russia and applying similar "sanctions" makes me think they are doing this just for PR.

I'm absolutely not saying they shouldn't do anything to show support for Ukraine but a simple short sentence or small banner somewhere would be much better instead.
You are using the feed to overcome the usability problem of a poorly designed website. I have seen my fair share of poorly designed websites so I can't argue with that :)

My feed reader's intended use case is to following a large number of slow moving feeds like personal blogs, which are usually not bursty and not super important if a few items fell in the crack.

Measurable health effects associated with the daylight saving time shift
Not videos, but these two articles played a formative role in my worldview (related to Iraq):

WaPo: "Irrefutable" : https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/2003/02/06/i...

NYTimes: "Irrefutable and Undeniable" : https://www.nytimes.com/2003/02/06/opinion/irrefutable-and-u...

I find it extremely interesting to occasionally reread those knowing what we know now. And nothing has changed, except for now there is significant push to try to censor anything beyond such irrefutable sources.
Besides lead, there is a second element which greatly reduces the risk of tin whiskers, when alloyed to tin: antimony.

However the proposals of replacing the tin-lead alloys withe tin-antimony alloys have been rejected due to the fear that antimony is also toxic.

While antimony in high doses is indeed quite toxic, it is less dangerous as a pollutant than lead, because it does not have the same tendency for very long time accumulation in animal bodies and such a strong effect on the nervous system.
Given latitude/longitude, you can make a lot of assumptions - current weather, time zone, daylight savings (ugh) in effect or not.

A $2T market cap doesn't mean a whole lot. It's unclear how much money actually changes hands in this system. You and I could make a $2T market cap system today, right now. I'll start an excel spreadsheet and sell you a cell for ~$40. BAM! $2T market cap excel spreadsheet, even though only $40 has changed hands! Neat, eh?

I've argued with crypto enthusiasts long enough to anticipate the requisite "WHAT ABOUT STOCKS" retort. Yes. Stock market caps are also a sloppy measure, though significantly less so in magnitude. Businesses are regularly purchased outright at their market caps. There are, of course, exceptions, like Gamestop, Tesla, AMC, and many other meme stocks. But these are the exception to the rule.

But its not complicated at all. Ukraine is every year more prosperous and more connected to the west and Russia is weakening kleptocracy led by a disconnected, malicious, evil dictator that fears that if it doesn't seize the opportunity to return to its vision of a greater Russia that has a seat at the table in the grand scheme of things that it will ultimately be subsumed by either the west or by its own people who see clear evidence of a better way so close at hand.

In service of this goal it has turned first to brutal invasion of another nations sovereign territory and when this proved ineffectual to brutal mass murder of the Ukrainian people, war crimes, mercenaries, and assassins in hopes of breaking a nations people and its leaders.

The complicated thing is a full analysis of why its war machine and intelligence is so broken as to lead them to believe this would lead to course of action would be profitable.
It's not a conspiracy (few things are because they just don't scale well). It's more what I call "assholes with similar motives/incentives." It has a lot of the appearance of coordination without needing secret meetings in smoke-filled rooms.

That said, sometimes it actually is coordination. Just look at the JournoList scandal.
Yes; satellite boards tend to have conformal coatings, it helps but it's not a complete solution. (The coatings also help avoid shorts from junk floating around, and launch vibration.)

> A Tesla battery pack weighs 900 pounds and only holds the energy of 3 gallons of gas.

A Tesla battery pack is good for about 300 miles. If that's equivalent to 3 gallons of gas, that's saying that Teslas would get 100mpg.

I can believe 40-45 mpg, but 100 requires some evidence.

Viina: Near-real time multi-source event data system for the war of Ukraine
I don't think Feedly is necessarily doing anything wrong. Publisher beware kinda comes with the territory like making sure you don't accidentally send too many emails. It's kind of a quirk of centralization that you would have the recourse of "sorry, can I unsend that?" with the pubsub model to begin with.

But I agree that it would certainly be nice if they offered a way to delete content. For example, an interesting attack on a website would be to silently add spam to their RSS feed knowing it will be stored in RSS aggregators forever. That doesn't seem great.
This is not an us or them case, is a true or false case. And false and true don't share a value of 50/50%. Unless we want to use a browser as moron-classifier, false results had a value of 0 in a search.

False facts are valuable in a search only as if tagged as debunked as false in the same page.

I applaud your attempts to tackle such a big issue. I'm a meat eater but the sheer number of animals killed to satisfy our appetite for meat is pretty shocking.

My question is about nutrition and taste: does cultivated meat contain the same nutrition as animal meat?

For example, farm animals may be pasture-fed and reared outside. The meat will probably be expensive but of excellent quality. Or the farm animals may be reared in a industrial-scale farming process that produces cheap supermarket meat (i.e. what many of us buy and eat in the Western World). Given the nutrition and taste profile of these animals is different, how do you cultivate the meat to taste excellent and contain good nutrition? Thank you.

How about those apple airtags?

We slept with our baby in our bed on a regular basis. If you have a real bed (not a couch) and you are not drinking excessive alcohol this is completely safe. He got too big for the bed and moved on to his own bed with no drama.

We were not woken up by a baby crying in a crib and also we think it is good for future mental health because people develop much of their ability to form attachments in the first two years of life... you have so much time to be an independent individual later.

Breaking Russia's Internet Backbone
For me, this move by DDG will have the opposite effect of what is intended.

I will now trust my own media and sources even less, if they rely on silencing the competition and insist on controlling what I access "for my own good". Such dirty tactics are insulting, even more so when delivered under a sneering benevolent guise.

As if they have perfect knowledge of my motives and wishes. What if I'm genuinely curious as to how the Russian media is presenting this war? They must have access to this perfect knowledge if they are fit to decide which news sources are "correct"!
>No it doesn't. What creates filter bubbles is ranking sites differently for each person, what has no relation at all with the criteria you use on your rank

That's assuming there's only one platform. When users can choose other search engines (or social media sites, video platforms, etc) then it absolutely creates a filter bubble when each platform injects its own bias into its content. No algorithm is perfect but I'd generally prefer my search results without deliberate bias.

Plus you'd have to be knee deep in the koolaid to think that only russian sources are propaganda. It just ao happens they are obviously on the "other side" today but let's not pretend that US and Ukranian sources aren't coming with their own healthy dose of spin.

For example, all the recent reports of civilian infrastructure being bombed are most certainly leaving out that these buildings were being used by Ukranian forces, much like reports of Israel targeting civilian buildings. That doesn't justify the russian actions since putin is fighting an unjust war of aggression, but that important context is an example of spin that is all over the "approved" sources of information.

Not to be negative, but when evaluating financial services CryptAPI are failing most checks:

- Three employees on LinkedIn, none with a background in finance, security, accounting, etc.
- No audited security certifications (PCI DSS doesn't directly apply, but there should be _something_ that shows that _someone_ checked their processes/code/infrastructure for reasonable best practices)
- No fraud protection or anything like that.

This could be nice for a crypto-only side-business that someone is running, but it can't be used by a serious company that needs to supplement their non-crypto payments with a crypto payments option.

If DDG can overhaul the worldwide education system, I'm sure we'd all be in favor of that.

But since the best solution is impossible, at least right now, a half measure like this seems reasonable to offer some amount of protection.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. We should do what we can now, and keep pushing for better solutions. Holding out for perfection does nothing to help people now, or possibly ever, depending on your definition of "perfect".

A few years ago a cop pulled me over and I gave him my license and registration, the usual song and dance.

When he returned to my vehicle he looked at me closely and politely asked me (a non-trans male) if I was aware my driver's license specified that I was a woman. You could tell he was trying to walk the line between possibly offending me and alerting me to a fairly important clerical error.

I had no idea. The DMV screwed that one up somehow when I moved to that state and they granted my new license. We both had a pretty good laugh... I said, well, does that mean I can flirt my way out of this ticket? Unfortunately (or fortunately?) the answer was an amused "sorry, no."

Maybe, but I don't expect most websites to track which videos I have watched and I don't want to need to create an account or somehow sync my watch list across devices. So I just use my feed reader for that and it works excellently.

> My feed reader's intended use case is to following a large number of slow moving feeds like personal blogs

This is also the majority of my feeds. While I agree that a few items falling through the cracks is a big deal I would still prefer if they don't.

But I think the morale of the story is that there is a huge set of ways that people use RSS Feeds. They are a generic system for distributing updates and it is hard to make quick fixes that work well for all of the wide variety of use cases that people have.

With search taken as a whole, the search results a person gets varies depending on a personal factor (namely, their go-to search engine) and not just the query. That's similar to a filter bubble, even if it isn't precisely one.
If I want to know if a Foobar Baz Sedan is a good car then legit reviews and spam generated by paid shills aren't equally useful and since there is a finite time available to produce quality content having 1000x more spam will make it absolutely impossible for the real information to be obtained by anyone.

Searching google for war in ukraine returns over 2 billion results. It is impossible not to privilege some information over others. Believing that any software designed by people can possibly be unbiased is absolute misunderstanding.
Offline video games are healthier than social media IMO. They need focus. They leave you feeling rewarded after playing; the ones that don’t aren’t addictive (for me, at least). Either they have some finite (and usually short) content, or they become boring after playing many hours in a short period of time. (I guess this isn’t true for some people, and they should stay away from such infinitely playable games.) They leave you with fond, distinct memories. They don’t influence your worldview and politics overmuch. They can inspire your creativity and imagination. …
That's the correct model.

I haven't tested for color accuracy or HDR. No Linux. Does not get "blurry" while I'm gaming.

My only recent comparisons are my new 16" M1 MBP and my 1440p Dell U2719 monitor (provided by work). Colors are wildly better than the Dell (of course) and it seems close to the MBP, although the MBP looks better out of the box of course.

At time of purchase, the only viable 240Hz 1440p options were this Alienware or the Samsung Odyssey G7. The Alienware offered better latency, and it was 40% off on the Dell website for some reason, so that's the one I went with.

TFTCentral does pretty thorough reviews, they seem to like the Alienware. https://tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_alienware_aw2721d
I'm just relearning Rust after first using it in the pre-1.0 days. Predicting what kind of iterator I'm going to get in what circumstances has definitely been a stumbling block for me. Sometimes it makes sense in retrospect (String::chars() must be producing copies not references, because it doesn't hold data as char internally, duh), but it is an area of the language where I frequently get unexpected compiler compiler errors.
I just used spam sites as an example of "site that's highly ranked by the algorithm but are uncontroversially recognized as an error."

Define a "genuine result" for a search engine that isn't the result of a process that arbitrarily ranks sites by certain metrics? Like it's humans all the way down, you can't escape that search engines are a large scale system representing "what a group of humans thinks the best results are." There's no unbiased algorithms in search, it's all curation.

I’m a long time crypto skeptic, but maybe I am turning my ship around a bit. It’s very conflicting subject because I bought btc out of spite in 2010 to prove a point to my friend that deflationary currency makes no sense. I guess the jokes on me.

The whole thing was a pure toy. Way more than doge coin or NFTs are today. I got 2K btc with the money I usually put to vanguard monthly.

Through out the years I’ve kept my view that the whole thing is a joke, but not so funny anymore. Going mainstream did nothing good to the scene and rising price created this current eco-catastrophe.

Yet this year is the first I actually used crypto as it was intended to transfer value instead of just cashing out. Defi and NFTs are not yet useful for me but the discussions around ethereum development are super interesting and keep pushing forward regardles of cryptobro scene.

I used to think that maybe this is similar to early web era, but now I shifted to think that we are possibly in the vacuum tube era of cryptocurrencies.

At least now it looks like this thing will outlive me. It sure didn’t look that way earlier. When price crashed it somehow felt right, but it never stayed there.
