Google honestly is the least threatening company out of the big tech companies. Every single thing that they have tried to get into have failed or been stopped. They should focus on search, or that will go away too.
"All I want is to be able to see who my device is using my network to call, and what they're saying."

Instead of Burp, I use Haproxy running in Termux. I have not run into any problems with HSTS.

The part about being able to see "what they're saying" is interesting. Assuming the people running "tech" companies wants users to trust them, the user's data/information being transferred to the "tech" company should be available to the user. After all, it is the user's network, it is the user's computer and it is the user's data/information, not the "tech" company's. It is also the the user's bandwidth. "Tech" companies do not pay the costs of transferring the data/information, users foot the bill.

A cautious user could decide that if the "tech" company will not share with her the deatils of the user's data/information being sent to the mothership, then she will just block the requests. In that case, installing NetGuard available from F-Droid will allow the user to list and optionally block DNS/HTTP requests. It falls short of instecting the contents of the requests, but it does allow the user to export lists of all DNS/HTTP requests. It can also export a list of all domains that the user allows to be resolved. This is useful for determining what domains apps need to access and creating whitelists.
Digital media reduction as a method of digital media research
Must be the case with all Bing-based search engines.

Anyone have the technical reasons? Would guess it’s structural (URL, title tags, H1).
These problems tend to work themselves out naturally - when you purposefully damage your user experience, you lose the early tech adopters that originally drove your product growth. They instead flock to a competitor that leaves you holding your bag of a shitty product.

There are a few companies flirting with this dangerous line right now and it opens them up completely for disruption, which is the opposite of what they want.
If it pushes people towards better OSes (any *nix IMO) that's a good thing. I was tired of Windows back in the XP days.

You say that, but do you have any released games? Have you personally experienced the toxicity of complaining players who want to be handed every sense of achievement and simultaneously feel like it’s very difficult and exclusive? Or complaining that it’s unfair because their idiot min maxed build is viable for everything? All single player games become multiplayer in communities

I build games myself. Nothing released. Likely won’t ever manage to do so.
There must be some amount of money that someone could pay to make it worth it to Microsoft to not show ads or sell data. The problem is, I doubt many people would actually pay that amount.

ReFS has the stink of death all over it. It's been the "next generation" filesystem for Windows since 2012, with no signs of ever graduating to being the current filesystem -- in fact, a 2017 update to Windows 10 removed the ability for most desktop systems to create ReFS volumes.
Note that this is even more interesting/impressive based on OPs age:

No, but why not? Seems like someone wanted to write some code for something they wanted and are sharing it. Can't hurt.

Thanks!

I've tried Coda a couple times, but have always ended up at the same roadblock encountered with Airtable / Smartsheet / etc. - any "power user" type integrations require learning entirely new workflows that don't translate to any other system. Put another way, these systems should obviate the need for dedicated "Rev Ops" headcount, but the narrow scope of applicability of Coda knowledge (traditional stack knowledge translates poorly into Coda; Coda knowledge translates poorly into any other system) has always meant it's felt like more work than upside, at least in my use cases.

The other two are new. Patera is gorgeous, and the very definition of elegant, based on what I can see. I could easily see myself running proposal documents through something like this to make them much more scalable.

Grid is even more interesting, though I'll have to dig in. A huge crop of dynamic forecasting tools (effectively masks over spreadsheet backends) seem to have sprung up in the past 18mo - I'm most familiar with Causal, but this goes a meaningful step further. Will be digging into it this week.

Appreciate the reccs.
Your route has the plane flying very close to Russian airspace from Istanbul to Baku. Also, it has the flight going over North Korean airspace at the end. Avoiding these two would be required. While it would add too many extra miles, it does illustrate the point that these route planners are not trivial.
It’s not quite Windows 2000, but the LTSC edition has much of the bullshit stripped out. It does not support the store therefore Candy Crush is not installed by default. And I don’t think it’s quite $1000, if you can figure out how to buy it.
Mostly, but there are other selective schools. Add all of those together and it’s still a tiny percentage of what is going on in higher education. Most kids go to state schools.
Without a well-informed populace, democracy cannot function. Contrary to what you have argued, becoming cultured (in other words, understanding the philosophy, ethics, history, and fundamental assumptions about how and why society functions) are essential skills for taking responsibility, and the lack of these skills is behind virtually every major deficiency in society.

College and university were never supposed to be about job training. They were supposed to teach one how to learn so you could become a lifelong learner and continue your own education in any field you chose to pursue and to use those skills to benefit the society at large so that everyone can benefit from an increasing understanding of the world.

Instead, what we have now, is an increasing focus on becoming a corporate employee, who devotes their life to marketing and selling products that society doesn’t need and are in fact increasingly destroying society and harming individual rights and lessening opportunity with each iteration. A higher education is increasingly designed for specialized corporate tasks that do not improve society and fail to solve the most pressing problems at hand.
Here's some notable examples of no-or-low-tech households of high-tech individuals:

Steve Jobs, Sundar Pichai, Susan Wojcicki, Alexis Ohanian, Mark Cuban, and Evan Spiegel to name a few.

What I don't personally understand is that this isn't news per-say. Many of the "tech elite" don't get high on their own supply. It's not hard to see why. Tech is addictive. Even the WHO declared screentime for kids under 4 shouldn't exceed an hour right before the pandemic...Montessori schools definitely have been on the rise for awhile too.

> their lawyers started coming after me with a cease and desist for something I wasn't even going to do, costing me thousands of dollars to deal with (as their lawyer knew to directly contact my lawyer, making it harder for me to avoid any costs).

Why would Snapchat's lawyers go directly to your lawyers on this one? And how would that cost you legal fees. Wouldn't your lawyers need your sign-off to bill on any projects that they are to undertake?
So "heat pump" is being used by the industry to ambiguously describe reversible heat pumps that can do both heating and cooling?

It's an incredibly misleading terminology to use.

I have a neighbor who last year replaced their small window AC unit in their off-grid desert cabin with what they described as a "heat pump" window unit after being convinced it was a more energy efficient solution for cooling their cabin with their limited solar array.

Unsurprisingly it made zero difference because they replaced an existing heat pump with basically the same thing under a different name. Waste of money, not the brightest individual, but the marketing push of new whiz-bang efficient heat pumps falling from the heavens is strong.
Everyone likes different things. It's remarkable you've enumerated quite a long list of things none of which I want in my place-people-upload-video-to. Browser extensions exist to strip things like this out, and New Pipe follows a similar vein but as an app.

DDG uses Bing https://www.bing.com/search?q=Hacker+news , but the bigger question may be isn’t second result good enough? You have very divergent definitions of “hacker” between people here and most of the rest of the population. Maybe most searches for hacker news actually want news about computer hackers? And knowing which one you mean takes context about who you are… the exact thing ddg is trying to get away from I think.
Yeah, you're right! We should have stopped with Emacs in 1976. After all, everything after that point has been pointless and derivative.

Home improvement is a crazy market. A lot of people seem to quote based upon what they think you can afford, which is easy to figure out since they usually do it while standing in your house.
I'm gonna need a cite for that 90% figure. Here's a study that compared bicep muscles and the largest quadricep muscle. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8477683/

Women were only 52% as strong as the men in the bicep and were 66% as strong in the quad. Women are _closer_ to men in the lower body, but men are still way stronger in both upper and lower on average.
Windows has to revert back to Windows 2000 when it was usable.
>Everyone else sits at home and just learns the stuff and does the exams while driving an uber. It will take a lot less time to just jump the math hoops than to do four years of half holidays, eg my total university time was actually 96 weeks but spread over 4 years. So a couple of years of doing that and people can see you can learn stuff.

All that does is test whether you know the content, which you said yourself "doesn't teach you anything you need to know at a job". It doesn't tell the employer whether you can handle 4 years of assignments and showing up labs/tutorials. I suppose you could add those back, but then we're back to square one when it comes to the university experience.

Omicron does a better job of getting around vaccine-induced immunity than the previous variants did, but vaccinated people still have a lot of protection against infection compared to unvaccinated people.
What are you talking about?

Gabe is a great person I’ve followed for a while now.
Theocracy tells me you don’t know what that word means.
I once read an essay by an administrator of a small college who was talking about some incentives for high tuition costs. The biggest for his school was that parents and prospective students expected any tuition to be high, and if it wasn't, people figured that to mean the quality of the education was lower compared to similarly sized colleges which charged a lot more but the education was basically identical. To keep the doors open, he substantially raised tuition and enrollment increased by a huge factor.
It's not that the examples given are not correct, in isolation, it's that they are not common enough in real code to matter.
A lot of folks have given you the advice to learn one or more existing frameworks (Dear ImGui, Qt, Cocoa, etc). This is good advice, but I don't think anyone has yet articulated why it's good advice. I'll try ...

Good UI frameworks are composable, and progressively expose their API users (developers) to their constituent parts, which can include systems such as drawing/rendering, animation, compositing, event handling, text editing, view hierarchy, navigation, accessibility, and so forth. As you build more complex applications with a UI framework, you naturally find yourself customizing default behaviors or implementing new controls or functionality on top of the existing capabilities. You start to see how the framework itself is built just by using it.

Once you reach expert level with a UI framework, you will have a conceptual understanding of how high level features of the framework are implemented in terms of the lower level functionality. As an expert, you will feel confident that you could implement a new type of control, or reimplement existing functionality such that your version is a perfect peer to the built-in functionality from the library author on all important axes (developer API, performance, user experience, etc). In some cases this might be a lot of work, but at least you should know generally how to go about it if you had to.

See if you can get to expert level with at least 2 different styles of UI frameworks. At that point, you will be capable of building your own.
Looks like a good ranking of results to me.
I'm sorry for my misunderstanding, but why is this interesting or important? news.ycombinator.com comes up as the second result just under the first one + at the side box, so it's not hidden or anything -- just some small difference between DDG and Bing/Google? Sorry, I'm just confused what interesting point am I missing... :(
At least anecdotally, the mRNA vaccines do appear to provide some protection against infection. I know three people who are mRNA-vaccinated who were recently extensively exposed to omicron. (They spent multiple hours in a single room or car with someone with symptoms who was later confirmed infected.) The exposed individuals are PCR tested at least twice a week and almost certainly never previously had covid. One of the three later tested positive, but the other two never tested positive.

Maybe by sheer luck two out of three could have remained uninfected by omicron without being vaccinated, but I'd be pretty surprised.
FWIW, while Apple historically leaned very heavily on PowerVR tech, their modern GPUs don't have much in common with it anymore (even if they're still paying the license fees - probably to retain the right to manufacture older chips.)
Snapchat's lawyers actually knew my IP lawyers from a prior issue (which wasn't actually related to Snapchat). (And it isn't even that strange, btw: there is actually a quirk of legal ethics that if, as a lawyer, you know someone else is represented by a lawyer, you aren't supposed to directly contact that person without going through their lawyer.)
> And with the high transmissibility of the Omicron variant—which often results in milder disease outcomes—many patients may be concerned about developing long COVID.

I have yet to read about anyone concluding that Omicron causes long COVID in vaccinated folks. If they have (or anyone else has) evidence indicating this is likely, I would love to hear it. Even the article doesn't claim this is the case.
The fact that masks aren't mandatory in public in the US is honestly unbelievable to me. Somehow the media has managed to convince the public that Covid is not as big a deal as it was in the beginning, but the research shows the exact opposite. I think we're going to have a day of reckoning when a wave of kids become old enough to work and are completely unproductive due to long haul COVID.
This made me smile, wordle in hypercard on an emulated mac!
Let me translate that for you:

"I'm not as special as I thought I was and I was too lazy to figure out whether I could pay back what I borrowed even though I had the entire freaking internet to look that up for myself, so I'm going to throw a big fit."

Nobody cares.

Pay your debts or don't, but it's not going to change anything. That's not even civil disobedience. That's just entitlement.

I'm sure that'll work out great when they need to buy a house, or a car, or get a loan if they need to pay for extra medical expenses. The entire system is an abusive racket, but let's not pretend that people don't have options.
> College prepares people to be adults in every way, not to be a resource for corporations.

Only 2% of Bangladeshis go to college. Are the rest not adults? Indeed, I’d say the opposite is true. Apart from job training, the main function of college in America seems to be extending adolescence and deferring dealing with the real world. 18 year olds in Bangladesh are a lot more “adult” than many college-educated 30-somethings.
SAT correlates well with college performance and moreover must be used to obtain the best college performance predictors we have (or something highly correlated with SAT).
I have a theory that the people who used the bar on the side and the people who turned the user metrics off are the same people (myself included). But I’m not sure how I feel about the results.
In any case I hope shells like litestep make a comeback as a result of ever more hostile ui decisions, either that or everyone jumps ship entirely to put energy into making something else great.

My take is that Google wanted Vanced dead. On top of trademark problems, if the app was a modified official client then copyright is also at issue. And there's always the CFAA hammer looming.

It wouldn't cost much, compared to litigation, for Google to send them a letter outlining these issues. It's possible they made Vanced an offer they couldn't refuse (i.e., shut down now and avoid litigation)

I wish this was true, but there are a heck of a lot of office workers who have grown up with Windows and can never be trained to use anything else.

You'll get a lot of resistance and rationalisation about why they don't think Linux or BSD or whatever isn't as good, and that the training time is better used to just work.
I've had similar thoughts. If GUI programs running in WSL will look just like "regular" Windows apps (as MS said they intend to do) then Windows becomes a kind of front end to Linux. That would solve the "desktop" problems Linux has had.

But between the overwrought UI and the bugs MS never seems to fix, Windows is becoming a less and less attractive platform with each revision.

It's remarkable how many of the "Chicago Boys" who helped deregulate the Chilean economy as part of Pinochet's dictatorship studied directly under Milton Friedman. It's remarkable Friedman referred to the whole ordeal as the "Chilean Miracle." I have no belief that Friedman ever directly endorsed the violence his policies often thrive in. Friedman did intentionally take advantage of crises, and pushed others to do the same, to enforce his unpopular ideas. It's remarkable that he got chummy with the dictator who bombed his own country, supported by the CIA. It's remarkable the CIA, out of fear of socialism spreading in Chile and the US losing its investments there (aka, wanting free market policies), supported the junta, and the Chicago Boys.

> Committee witnesses maintain that some of the Chicago boys received CIA funds for such research efforts as a 300-page economic blueprint that was given to military leaders before the coup.

To say that Friedman didn't endorse the violent behavior directly is a technicality.
> but the research shows the exact opposite

Links would be appreciated. By all accounts I've heard, for vaccinated people, Omicron (the dominant variant) is like a mild cold.
People need to choose their own governments (sometimes force may be required), and not let foreign powers, however seemingly well-meaning, install them, depose them, etc.
In case it's not obvious, the devices mentioned in this post are really old, like over a decade. The N900 was bad when it came out but by today's standards it's absolute garbage. PowerVR was almost completely killed off by Mali years ago.

While all of the points he has made may very well be true to some extent, I fail to see any reasoning for the imminent "collapse" he predicts.
It's such an interesting contrast, for both ends of Microsoft to have reversed so heavily. The core consumer product once fought for betterment and improvement. "Where do you want to go today" was the slogan, suggesting users the helm, piloting their Personal Computer wherever they may. Oh, and it was a complete vision, totalizing. Microsoft did not care at all about open source, webdev, Linux, or broader ecosystem outside their castle.

The extent to which Microsoft has become the inverse in a mere decade of time is mind-boggling. Core products seem to lack the internal political strength to resist becoming naggy, crappy ad-ware, pushing other people's not your own desires. Teams and Office are the new core focus, asking, Where does your company want to go today? Teams has boss-ware pro-harassment features like letting people re-raise notifications at you every 5 minutes. This is expressly hostile anti-personal computing, is deeply mechanized corporate processes applied to people. But in terms of open source, Linux, webdev, the broader world of development & making things happen, Microsoft has completely reversed course, embracing Linux in the data center, releasing vast amounts of their systems as open source, providing & sponsoring copious onramps & cross-platform integrations, doing everything they can to make themselves appealing as a broad partner to the rest of the world, rather than Castle Microsoft, Windowsland.
