No one is going to beat Google at their game. But the game will change. And Google is unlikely to win the next one, if past similar examples can teach anything.

There will be a dramatic change in how people ask questions and access information.

Maybe it will be personal assistants. I doubt it.

Perhaps these kinds of Neuralink implants? Could be...

Whoever nails it, will be one of the near-future trillionaires.
Would you consider a refund policy or dry run trial with pro home?

The free version doesn’t support modern Python versions so to see if it works.
This is terrifying and scary sounding, there is still so much we don't understand about the earth. It seems we are involved in quite a dangerous experiment as society continues to scale out and consume resources at an ever increasing rate.

Are we most likely screwed as a species in the medium term? Is the best plan really to rely on the benevolent leadership and good intentions of low-EQ celebrities like Elon Musk and Uncle Jeff Bezos along with the government to save us from catastrophe?

I sure hope we (and our children) aren't stuck on a dead end path, but sometimes it seems quite probable. We can't even stop putín from doing crazy stupid murderous shit because we are rightly afraid of a ww3 nuclear holocaust. This doesn't even start to address the reality that the universe doesn't care whether or not humanity continues to exist. It's frustrating and depressing.
You can literally just switch out corporations with cooperatives to make a market socialist economy. Marxist "doctrines" also led to 5 day 8 hour working weeks, paid leave, unions led to increased wages, and many other workers rights. Hell, before the left wing gained power, child labour was predominant in capitalist economies.

I disagree. Comments that start with a single setence "False." are too few and far between to truly be "peak HN". Comments that start with a single sentence "I disagree." are much more plentiful, as can be verified with Algolia.

> I hate that everyone jumps on any bad experience as a "dark pattern" when there's plenty of incompetence to share the blame.

While I understand you; this is Amazon. It's laughable to think, for an organisation with the technology and resources of Amazon, that this is anything but laziness, "malicious compliance" or a deliberate "fuck you".

Having me forced to click over a hundred download buttons to get the data I requested is not ok for a company Amazon's size and is not because they couldn't spare the resources to have someone write a few lines of code to archive those into a single tar.gz/zip and provide one button to click, it's deliberate.
I found it very stressful because I couldn't get rid of the annoying stuff. Swiping it away would just bring up something new that was also annoying.
In my opinion as a Linux and Mac user, a lack of consistent user experience. And I’m not talking about raw functionality, but the character and demeanor of a Linux computer. Here’s a short laundry list of personal gripes:

I don’t know why HiDPI support is still so flakey, especially so with multi-monitor setups. Sometimes apps just work, and other times the UI is comically small or oversized. The only *nix adjacent OS I’ve ever seen address this ChromeOS and MacOS.

Sleeping, hibernation, deep snoozing or whatever the term is — I can’t trust a single Linux distro to not drain a laptop battery dry while the lid is closed. I’ve tried all the tricks and there’s always a catch, usually me opening the laptop to a kernel panic, ironically with 1% battery left and the processor underclocked to Celeron speeds.

Lastly and most certainly not least, the trackpad support. “Synaptics” is a synonym for unpleasant, bumbling, and janky. Granted, Windows laptops usually don’t do much better, but these clueless drivers make large trackpads basically unusable. True palm rejection seems to remain illusive, partially fixed with like dead zones, keypress timeouts, and other bandaids. And please don’t bring up Bill Harding. He’s doing his best, but the fact is that one single person carrying this responsibility speaks volumes for how much the community values this experience.

And yes, I’m aware that these things don’t just happen. I’m just saying what’s wrong. I can only send so many pull requests before giving up and buying a MacBook.

Edit:Two more things. Distros need to pick some better branding. Names like Ubuntu, Pop_OS, Elementary… It’s impossible for regular people to understand these things. And get rid of Tux on the boot screen. A penguin with a gut is unpleasant to look at and makes the whole OS seem like a niche interest for computer nerd tropes of the 90s.
>This paradigm never left us, you (and I) are just on the team with the most might at the moment.

It is contrary to the international legal system. And it's thoroughly argued against by Socrates versus Thracymachus.

>Again, on what basis?

On the basis of UN Charter article 2(4) and (5). Surrender means (4) is set aside if in fact you can start a war of aggression and come out ahead. That is completely untenable in the international institutions that exist right now. And willingly setting aside (4) means (5) has also been set aside. The Charter isn't some aspirational document, it is a treaty countries are legal parties to insofar as their sovereignty was used to acknowledge its truth and their agreement to be bound to it.

141 countries agreed to UN General Assembly Resolution ES-11/1. Russia must withdraw from all of Ukraine. It is in the interest of most countries to agree to this resolution, because it is one of the easiest calls to make since the UN was founded, and why it was founded.

If the UN unravels... humanity has no institutional means of stopping another world war.

Preservation is always good, and some of the software from the CP/M world can be quite useful.

People can use constant reminders that software can be good without taking gigabytes of memory for the most basic of functions. We can literally emulate an entire computer and run its OS and software faster and more efficiently than we can render a page in a web browser.

Small and efficient is good :)
The internet is too different now to what Google (or any SE) was designed to index.

Too much of the up-to-date high value information is posted onto semi-public channels. Like facebook groups, instagram posts, telegram channels, etc.

At the same time, too much of the publicly available websites are becoming clickbait and mindless marketing drivel.

Just try to research anything slightly obscure that has to be up-to-date information (from the last few years).

Like "how to get from Nairobi to Kisumu by bus". Google maps doesn't have this (not surprisingly), but what about the SERPs? Nothing there. 90% of the results are useless bus ticket sale websites that have no info, just SEO. (You can't buy this ticket online anyway).

Is Kenya just such an off-the-map destination that no backpacker has ever written about taking this route? No!

The information is out there. You'll find it inside the related facebook groups for travelers in east Africa. And if not? That's where you'll ask. But the answer? It'll never reach a SERP in the future.

Even more sad, is that if you keep looking on Google, you may find buried results from years ago. From travel forums and such. What's sad is that the info will be 10 years old, since no one uses public forums anymore. (Unless it's on reddit, pretty much the last public forum with any reach).
I used my iPhone 12 as a 5G modem while working from home for a couple weeks after I moved last year before I had my gigabit RCN service setup. It was remarkably performant and stable. I could probably use it full time if it weren't for the higher cost.
If your humor relies on novelty and the novelty is gone, the humor is gone. It is different with story structures. It isn’t just those examples, though. Play the game or watch a video of the intro sequence and see for yourself. It’s just a lot of “snark” type humor that was prominent at the time.
I don’t know tbh, but I think having lots of small individual plots you probably lose economies of scale. Especially if you’re growing in dense urban areas there’s probably more efficient use for the land. Although vertical farming could maybe offset this.

Mostly talking out of my ass. I’m sure there’s someone on here with the answers you seek.
Yes, any provider can screw you. But when that happens, I just want to be able to speak to a human about it.
Right, later in the article it even says “Currently, the average rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in the Upper East Side is $3,600 per month”.

I mean I was paying north of $3k for a 1bd walk-up in Cambridge 7 years ago.

As jpgvm mentioned, yes Rust is a compiled language so it works well with eBPF!

The full picture is always a bit nuanced though so to expand on that: I have tried it cursorily with rust [using wachy to trace wachy :)] and it appears to work. The one issue I would say is that wachy is currently hardcoded to use C++ symbol demangling, so rust function names are not completely accurate (although it's surprisingly decent) - please open an issue if you want that fixed (or if you run into any other issues)! I decided it's better to get it out there and improve things that people actually use rather than fix all my TODOs (excuses for being lazy).

And with rust async, I haven't tried it myself but looked into the details some time back. Wachy works by simply looking at function entry/exit timestamps, but the rust aysnc impl is using futures + poll rather than saving and restoring stacks, so it's not gonna work. You can presumably trace the future's poll function, which may or may not be useful. Although, perhaps with some custom eBPF logic and examining the poll return value it could be made to work...

Duckduckgo wrote about this a decade ago. So much investment needed to just get on their list of search engines.

Meanwhile on Android, there's no practical way to completely move towards ddg for searched info unless you basically get rid of some voice and search features.

Without laws, Google set up an ecology of everything search related hits google one way or another. On Apple there are ways around it because Apple isn't a search company.

Having said that......... Most people don't care. It's why Microsoft pushes so hard for ie. Because they get to set the default which nobody will change.

https://kagi.com/faq

How much will Kagi cost?

Kagi will be completely free during the beta-test period for all users. Once we officially launch, we are dedicated to providing the best possible search experience to our users at a reasonable price. We plan to offer entry level plans for as low as $10/month, unlimited plan at around $20-$30/mo as well as have bundles (to include Kagi email and other services), organization/team plans, family plans and annual payment discounts available.

We understand that for some user this may sound prohibitively expensive, but unfortunately we are not in the position to set the price point by consensus or market expectation, but by realistic cost of providing the service at a given level of quality in a way that potentially ensures sustainability and serving our customers long-term.
Ugh, I'm getting real tired of this thread, having to explain left wing arguments that are freely available to read. Just, if you want to understand what I'm saying, at least give Das Kapital a read. It lays out some of the basic arguments.
Ultimately a computer network cannot genuinely steal the identity of a person, unless I'm mistaken - they're a person, and their human connections understand that.

With many of today's payment methods, I agree that the payment identifiers are susceptible to being copied in unencrypted environments. However, identification/authentication and authorization are two separate steps - it'd be possible to entrust authorization, for example, to groups of trusted friends/family (with perhaps separate social groups and rules based on category of purchase, amount, and so on).
I’ll keep my tiling window manager and keyboard driven workflow, along with the ability to sudo to root and modify my system as I please, rather than banging my head against the wall because Apple has literally locked me out of parts of my own file system, or have some obscure launcher/service management that’s poorly documented. Or the fact that servers all run Linux and apples non-posix, slightly different, proprietary tooling is just subtly different enough to make it a huge pain in the ass when you run a command to deploy something and it’s botched by a subtle difference like slightly different flags/behavior.

Sounds like Mac is great for blogging, happy to hear it; as long as I’m doing software development, deployments, etc, I’ll stick with Linux.
"Because Chinese companies developed 5G before American companies did" - just No.

5G as deployed today is a 3GPP (== driven by Europe) standard and yes, Chinese, American, Australian, Asian etc. companies contributed to system architecture and RAN (radio access network) which is a domain of the old-schoolers: Nokia, Ericsson, Qualcomm, Samsung and since a few years also Huawei-EUROPE (not Huawei China).
`Vlk` is also a Slovak word with the same meaning: "wolf"
“Platform A has these features I find convenient therefore I migrated from platform B which doesn’t have them”. That’s all this article is. Platform B might as well have been windows. I’m not sure why everyone is reading it as a dismissal of desktop Linux as a concept. I tried a Mac for a while, found it too restrictive, moved back to Linux on the desktop - doesn’t mean the Mac sucks or anything, just wasn’t right for me.
The first wave of Christine's complaints were when the V programming was just released. That's ludicrous to be doing that, to any programming language. Nobody is going to release a fully finished and complete programming language on day 1.

Criticisms from 2 and a half years ago on a new programming language are mostly not relevant.

It's really time to let go of the hate or come out and admit being an advocate for some other competing language.
I don’t think this has any effect on speed even in post-2015 Intel Macs
If you disable JavaScript on the page it reads fine. I have it disabled by default.

it was more like how kubrick made use of real branding in 2001 a space odyssey. it actually played a role in advancing an optimistic futurist aesthetic.
Nah - Microsoft will never, ever earn the trust and cachet that early "don't be evil" Google enjoyed. Nor have all of us forgotten their true nature.
Yup. Great article overall until the bit you quoted.

Sure, it has the _potential_ to transform personal genomics, but the (insanely cool) T2T project is indeed almost exclusively an academic one.

Maybe I'm too cynical, but I think academics are wired to automatically produce such declarations of Greater Societal Impact simply because of how we, as a society, have decided to allocate resources for scientific research.
I would argue "peak HN" would be shitting on a side project with no practical purpose that was obviously done for learning/fun because they did something somebody else already did and didn't have a perfectly unique idea.

Here's an image of the prehistory: Netscape Navigator 2 and 3, Netscape Communicator 4, all on MacOS. (NS3 is the Gold Edition, as discerned by the edit button in the toolbar. NS4 introduced the bookmark bar, by this requiring more vertical screen estate for the Chrome. Also mind the default grey page background of #CACACA common to all iterations of the Netscape browser.)

https://www.masswerk.at/nowgobang/images/netscape-navigator-...

Edit: The "Classic" themes of early Firefox and SeaMonkey were still very much reminiscent of Netscape 4, but the toolbar and the location bar merged. (In the early days Firefox and Netscape 6/7 still coexisted in parallel, packaging the same engine, and the "Classic" theme represented the Netscape legacy UI.)
A preference for developing in Python.
Yup. Additionally, https://twitter.com/search?q=shithnsays or search for "the orange site"
I would have preferred a "default" keyword.

So given: function foo(string $arg1, int $arg2=2, string $arg3='reddit') {}

You could called it like: foo('bar', default, 'HN');
I have applied it to ecommerce shopping carts and it works quite well :). The itemids(words) viewed in sequence in a session can be thought of as a sentence.
> Historically, backwards compatibility has been excellent and allows older apps to upgrade PHP versions and take advantage of performance improvements without a rewrite.

This has not been my experience at all. Updating PHP versions _and_ some even fundamental libraries has been very painful and anxiety inducing, you had to be very careful and patient. It's similar to JS in that regard and in some cases worse.
It seems like you have an unexamined presumption that bundling a package manager with a language is a superior practice, and you "don't care" about any argument that might challenge that.
Just curious, does match expressions have any advantage over using a hash (or in PHP terms an associative array)?

You kind of just proved my point.

I’m by no means an incel. But things might have turned out differently if I did have the “third strike”.

My wife of 10 years would and has been with me through thick and thin and I’m 100% confident that she will be no matter what. But I doubt she would have given a 36 year old (at the time) the time of day if I had been 5 foot 5, 350 pounds, flipping burgers at McDonalds and yelling at her “hey shawty, give me dem digits”.

And before the woke police chastise me for picking on “urban Black culture”, not only are “some of my best friends Black”, so are my parents and all of my family.

I think are right but not because of the size of the internet. Although the web has grown, the cost of computing and bandwidth has decreased and there’s a lot of open tools, technologies, and open datasets like YaCy and Common Crawl. The data you would want to index is a tiny fraction of the total internet.

The challenge comes from the massive investments in turning that data into a good search engine and cutting through spam. That is the investment I think Google has scaled over time. Secondly, mind share; the moat Google has is immense, although I think DuckDuckGo and Bing has shown given enough time it is possible to get mindshare slowly; though if anything this demonstrates the challenge.
Thanks! Just get to know the "Press Start" series from your website and my 6-year-old son will definitely love it!
As far as i can tell there are 3 major problems

1) customers being able to cancel their deposit payment through their payment processor

2) legal nightmare of who owns what when. As far as i recall its highly problematic to hold funds for somebody

3) legality and taxes

I think it is something that would be best solved with crypto (no this time for real) and having the default be that the depositor gets his money back. But that leaves the entry hurdle (and cost in and out of what ever coin) as well as fluctuations in price.

No, because it premises that opposing the 'free market' for housing means I have a malicious agenda. If that is your supposition, I won't be engaging.
