I've been sort of thinking there really ought to be a sort of open source manhattan project to disrupt the search ecosystem and offer real competition to big tech.

There's a lot more to search than just search in the traditional sense, and I think multiple cooperating services offering small complimentary functionality slices could probably offer reasonably similar capabilities (save for like image search, maps and translation) with a significantly smaller hardware footprint.

My own search engine is fairly janky, but a lot of its problems are understood and could probably if not be fixed, at least mitigated. That's one functionality slice, searching documents. You could have a slice for forums, one for reviews, one for high value sites like stackoverflow and wikipedia, one for facts, one for popular links in social media and news, one for source code, one for mailing lists, and so on.

As a whole, I think you might actually be able to put together an actually useful information gateway this way. Would be a lot of work, but I think the amount of work probably exceeds its difficulty.
At least they're not going to "spend more time with family".
I don't doubt the narrative as you relay it, but I question how hard this can be for one of the largest corporations with one of the largest engineering pools in the world.

I absolutely hate light text on dark background. There are a few sites I'd really like to follow (hello hackaday), but their insistence on light text on dark background makes them a pain to read. And it kind of feels like the website says "because fuck you".

There is no shortage of "helpful" people who suggest I use all manner of browser plugins to "fix" poor design choices. Eh, no. That is not a solution. If people want to be oddball and weird they can do whatever they want, but I won't be spending much time on their websites.
It can, but it doesn't have a "do reasonable things" mode. Instead it notices when you do something unreasonable and undoes its optimizations.
100% agree and can relate. Part of our "estate" is exactly that type of a project - all that was required was a CRUD app, what we got and have to maintain is an app written in functional style written with 3 layered frameworks using Hexagonal Architecture. In answer to the question "Why?", the response was - "We were bored."
One problem with RAID is that it doesn't help with software failures (from filesystem meltdown to ransomware). It's also not geographically distributed, so will go down in a house fire or robbery.

Occasionally synced SSD kept at parents/friends' house solves both. In the old times it was (somewhat) costly and (somewhat) clunky, but with 1TB M.2 drives I'd consider both problems to be solved - and drives are only getting cheaper.

Also: let's not pretend that cloud services are more reliable than something you own. They aren't. iTunes sometimes stops playback midway with some "URL not found" error; songs disappear due to copyright reasons, and let's not pretend iTunes - or any other service - will not get phased out eventually, taking your entire library with it.
I've tried the same and don't find the results super similar. Both search engines seem to think that you're trying to repair the old tire. However the second Google result is goodyear.com which, while trying to sell you tires, does explain how to use the spare:

https://www.goodyear.com/en-US/learn/tire-care-maintenance/h...

On Kagi you have to go until the 10th result to get something from Bridgestone, which explains the same thing while being less aggressive about selling tires:

https://www.bridgestonetire.com/learn/maintenance/how-to-cha...

So the trade-off seems to happen between seeing fewer ads and having better tolerance for imprecise queries.

The OP is confused, I work at coinbase and that figure refers to total comp. Also levels.fyi is listing salary and not total comp for the google position he is comparing.
I don't need to feel engaged at work. I feel engaged with my career though. A job is just a temporal contract I do for money. I do my best (thankfully I'm not bad at it since I love my career), but usually I don't give a damn about feeling engaged with my current employer.

>experienced surgeons operate faster. lower blood loss. no unnecessary trauma. less inflammation. less swelling, faster recovery, fewer side effects.

Whether these relative differences add up to anything that matters depend a hell of a lot on the surgery in question and how good the "experienced surgeon" is in the first place.
This.

What happened in 2000 was that interest rates got up and money became scarcer, so there was nobody willing to put any money into more risky investments like VCs.

Today we are in a completely different realm of money availability, but it is becoming scarcer again.
1) Banks are solvent. Assets exceed liabilities. They have a liquidity problem if there is a bank run, but can unwind there position and pay all account holders if given enough time to do so. (To be clear, it is still possible for a bank to go insolvent)

2) Historically, bank failures and bank runs were a major recurring problem. Our current financial regulations are written in the blood of those past failures.

3) Among the many safegaurds in place is the FDIC, which insures depositors against bank failures. The FDIC is backed by the US government.

There are two different failure modes for Teather

1) A liquididy problem (bank run). Teather pauses redemptions while until it is able to liquidate its other assests. Might cause a panic, but long term, your Teathers can still be redeamed for dollars. If their is trust in the market about this, 3rd parties can provide liquidity as a form of arbiteage (causing the value to dip below $1, but not crash)

2) A solvency problem. Tether runs out of money and the remaining holders get 0. Or, Tether knows they haveva problem and pay everyone pennies on the dollar.

People are concerned about failure (2)
There has been a fundamental change in the crypto market --- stable coins have proven to be not so stable.

How this will play out long term is anyone's guess. Do you feel lucky?

"Google" is 100+k people. "Google" doesn't respond to incentives; individuals do.

A typical employee at any large company is incentivized to:

- Maximize their salary

- Maximize their future earnings potential (e.g. CV)

- Have fun

- Have work-life balance

... and so on. That goes all the way up to the CEO. Pretending a corporation thinks and responds to incentives is folly. Running a corporation like Google is like herding cats. If everyone marched in the same direction, Google would cut through SEO optimizers like a chainsaw through butter. There is no wayh to do that with 100+k people.

Google fundamentally has no financial incentive to fix any problem, since organizations aren't intelligent, sentient beings which act on incentives. They have dynamics from the interactions of 100k+ individual agents.

There is no magical fairy which makes large organizations act in their own best interests or even try to survive. The only reason they do survive is that's as true of their competitors as themselves.
They add their own interpretations and calculations of footnotes to financial statements. It’s a step beyond categorizing and aggregating.

> Ultimately it gets abandoned and forgotten and put on the graveyard of all the other side projects

Could be worse. I used to have this problem all the time, and at some point managed to fix it. Now I've spent 3 years on a side project (which I originally thought should take a couple of months, and considering its lack of complexity really only should have taken at most a year), and even though I'm fully aware its an "unworkable" idea, I can't stop until its done.

I've read tiny projects in the past though and really like it, I really want to try a similar thing at some point...just as soon as this current project is done ;)
Opta: A new open-source IaC built on top of Terraform

At the same time, it would be the easiest to solve with something like a "white list" (I know, not a good term to use these days). With one stroke you shut out all the bad actors.

In fact, I wonder how far a search engine could go with a curated list of "good actors" you exclusively serve up results from. Add a "search everywhere" link for people that prefer SEO hell.

But does Google care about the organic search result quality?

For many search terms, the entire above-the-fold and sometimes multiple scroll heights are filled with:

- Ads

- Info cards

- People Also Ask

- Map/Business info

- Videos

- Related Products

- More Ads

The organic search results start after that and on mobile they may as well not exist.

If everyone is clicking the directly or indirectly sponsored/algorithmic content then what incentive does Google have to give you good, straightforward links to relevant webpages?

Hopefully this is useful constructive feedback, there's no details about who's behind ScraperAPI on the website.

Everything is very anonymous and that would put me off giving any credit card or contact details to you.

This post is by "scraperapi team", the sales contact is an anonymous form, there's no company address and no details of anyone involved.

I'm sure you're working on the website and moving in the right direction so this is probably a very innocent omission at an early stage.

Should be an easy thing to iterate on, good luck.
Low-code/No-code used to be called CASE back in the 90's. It had the same promises back then but is more popular today. I think the drive comes from management more than devs, who always imagine that they can get programming done without paying programmer salaries.

In some simple cases, non-devs can create their own software solutions with these tools. But it falls apart in two places: First in that the real complexity of software development is not syntax but architecture, and visual programming tools don't help with that. A big design or bad design is actually harder to work on in graphics than in text code.

The second issue is the one you point out: lack of portability. Most GUI code builders lock your results into their platform, limiting its usefulness in the real world.

There are cheap boards (like PyGamer) than can be programmed with a Scratch-like tool based on Google Blockly. That's the Microsoft MakeCode series. The good news is that it really writes Typescript under the hood and you can switch back and forth to see the real code -- or just edit the real code once the visual blocks become too complex or limiting.

I have a hard time imagining that anyone is being given no-code tools to take home. The whole audience for that is more office workers trying to create various kinds of reports. The no-code tools don't produce portable apps that you could ship to a customer. There are two low-code tools that are used professionally: things like LabView for controlling scientific devices and small robots, and tools like Jupyter which really isn't an IDE but is used like one by people who need to write formulas but not apps.
> Pods are removed from the Service/Endpoint in async

They list this in the Takeaways but I don't see that they took any action to work around this problem. SIGTERM to the pod and updating the service/endpoint race and you will absolutely see traffic getting sent to terminated processes because of it.

The only "solution" I know is to put a sleep in the preStop hook to delay the SIGTERM so that the pod can be removed from the service. Cloud native!
At my last job we had a mono-repo with the .idea directory (for IntelliJ) commited. For Java projects IntelliJ needs to sometimes be directed to understand what folders are “resources” to allow better autocompletion and highlighting.

For example specifying custom java faces components directory that will be used once the application is packaged into a war file, so IntelliJ knows they are accessible from JSP html files, and will autocomplete and show you what attributes you can modify on the component.
An argument could be made that the dev isn't getting either enough work or difficult enough work
I don't think they're deliberately targetting operationrestoredwarrior.org; something similar also came up recently with publiccode.eu being blocked: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31189377

I don’t think you read that entire article (or even looked at the sidebar). SSPL is copyleft, but not FOSS.

From that article:

> In January 2021, following the re-licensing move by Elastic, OSI released a statement declaring that the SSPL does not comply with its Open Source Definition because it discriminates against specific fields of endeavor, describing it as a "fauxpen" source license.

> Debian FSG compatible No

> OSI approved No

> GPL compatible No
This is your app? I feel like plugging your own competitor app in a ShowHN goes against the spirit of ShowHN. Rather than just a link to your GitHub, a deeper discussion about the difference and pros and cons of one versus the other would be more appropriate here. For example, what about Appwrite makes it hard to do optimistic updates versus your solution? "High level approach" doesn't tell me much.
This is my experience as well. Core bugs keep pilling up for years at an alarming rate while they focus on adding new functionality that most developers don’t need.

Their bad licencing made sense back in the day. But they now face strong competition and instead of moving to a more open licence system, they seem to be doubling down. They don’t seem to understand that not only they aren’t the only framework in town anymore, they are currently worse than much better licenced systems.
They may not have anticipated that governments would try to force them off their own spec onto an inferior one.

Hi,
I'm currently doing the 'Making Embedded Systems' on classpert. I really like the live class interaction and class discussions. For me its better to be talking with the teacher (In this case Elecia White) and other students rather than only watching videos with little to no interaction. There are videos to watch but there is also a weekly live class with Elecia and a homework class as well. With Classpert I'm doing a course along with other students at the same time and in a group.
I do recommend them.
Totally agree but from a SWE perspective on any kind of Agile/Scrum team I think the expectation is usually that you pick up another task if you finish early and there's still time during a sprint for example.

This also obviously breeds other bad incentives i.e. the faster you work the more work you get.
It's an ambiguous parse, I read "A (truly relational) (database tool)" and you read "A (truly relational database) tool".

Any search engine with a profit motive is inevitably doomed as one value overtakes the other. To have a search engine that works means having one where scaling endlessly in pursuit of profit is discouraged.

Compare your one page graph to the calpers annual report: https://www.calpers.ca.gov/docs/forms-publications/annual-in...

That report lists every single bond they have down to the dollar and maturity rating. It lists every hedge fund, vc and other private equity they have on their books.

That’s what is normal (and in the us required) for pensions.

That you have a different expectation for reporting than other market participants doesn’t make it a witch hunt, quite the opposite your standard is much much lower than average.
OKRs are also a tool for communicating priorities and agendas in all directions of the hierarchy.

I think they work reasonably well for that. They're succinct and the key results force them to be grounded on some reality that people can relate to.
Theres a fair amount of quotes I'm too lazy to find now where Jobs expresses his absolute distain for the "enterprise" market.

With enterprise software, the end user is almost never the actual paying customer, which when you are trying to make really end-user focused products that delight in the way Apple do, can lead to incentives that prioritise enterprise needs over consumer - look at the huge number of enterprise specific features Microsoft historically have built, that have affected consumers too. Jobs loved making consumer products so much, I can't imagine he ever would have been able to really chase enterprise customers.

The move to targeting services and enterprise more at Apple happened under Cook, because, well, he has to continue growing the company and Services + more engagement with enterprise markets have been critical to growth post Jobs under Cook. Perhaps Steve ultimately would have done the same as Cook, given iPhone can't grow forever etc, but it would have been a major shift in his opinions/outlook for Apple.

I'm talking about "Enterprise" in the traditional software industry sense, which is not the same industry apple target for creative professionals, even if tools like MDM etc can overlap. Jobs loved "professional" users in creative industries, not enterprise volume sales and fleet management tools etc etc.

A few of us got away with it in the early 90's reciting Spin Doctors and Metallica lyrics. The trick was to use a deep cut. I don't think the teacher would have even recognized a radio single, but she may have picked up on all our poems being "verse verse chorus verse chorus"!

As a counterpoint, for me light text on a dark background is easier to read than black text on a white background. Go figure. So much so that I sometimes create dark-mode CSS user scripts for sites that don't offer a dark mode.
> The overall problem -- and this is not specific to Google -- is that managers at all levels are incentivized to grow head counts.

No one is incentivised to grow head count. They are incentivised to do more, produce more revenue, and expand the reach of the company; most of these goals require the application of more smart people to a problem. They are not getting a promotion or salary bump because their group increased from 200 to 300 people over the previous quarter, they are receiving rewards for being able to effectively direct those people in order to achieve some specific goal. Increasing head count by 50% while delivering 250% growth in revenue/engagement/view/etc is what is being rewarded.

I have never owned a monitor or phone without a brightness control. I challenge you to find any screen capable of displaying a paragraph that does not have a brightness adjustment. Any form factor (other than backlight-free stuff like ePaper and cheap calculators) will do, as long as it had top 100 market share in its segment at some point in this century.

(Brightness is the adjustment that decreases the max white level without also making blacks brighter. So, a display that only has a contrast knob would count as missing a brightness adjustment.)
