They downranked pirated content results in 2018[1] so someone could just use pagerank and include those sites and have a better search engine for that sort of content. There's also the "controversial twiddler"[2] which makes Google only present mainstream opinions on various topics. I had to search yandex.com to even find a good article on it. There's some weird stuff on the Youtube blacklist, like the Las Vegas mass shooting from a few years ago that everyone forgot about that they never figured out the motive for. See the leaked "YouTube Blacklist" under the "Censorship" link in the project veritas article.[2]

In my observations of the world and history, the only 'ism' that works for the people, is where the real power is concentrated in the hands of as many people as possible.

As long as we create structures that concentrate power in the hands of the few, policies change and resources flow into those circles.

I've been using the Orion Browser as my secondary browser for the last couple of days and so far its really good! All my web extensions work, I can download them straight from the google or mozilla extensions store. It also uses waaaay less energy to run on my MacBook then any non webkit browser. If this gets polished and maintained as well as I hope, this could be a real competitor on Mac.

Your solution though attempts to fix the system by making it "cost more". This will always favour large corporations, with more money, while prejudicing small companies making small amounts of money.

Shortening the monopoly period simply reduces the time small companies are protected. For example, I invent widget x. I sell 100K worth of that a year. I can live on that. Patent expires, big corp copies x. I can't afford to pay for my patent, so they win. I stop inventing and go get a job at big corp to pay my bills. This is a net loss.

Equally this would not stop patent trolls - since in many cases their patent claims are bogus, BUT it would cost me more (and risk more) to fight it than just pay the license. People don't pay the license _because_ the patent has value, they pay because it's the cheapest route out.

Trying to ban "patent trolls" also fails because "troll" is subjective. If I licensed my widget x above to big corp, and I don't manufacture anything myself, am I a troll?

Your suggestion would not stop "defensive" patents either (although it would reduce their number.) But if you can stop competition with 10 patents you don't need 1000. So it'll have no net-effect.
This is exactly the kind of thinking that keeps mac-only or mac-first businesses from becoming successful more frequently.

Although I'm really impressed by your work (I know what it is to spend so many years on a "side" project), I can't help but feel that in this day and age of global climate/environmental crisis, making the apology of "10000 tons of diplomacy", "resource consumption" and overall expansion at any price is a bit, well, unfortunate. I think nowadays indie games are strong enough to carry a message....
That game was a huge inspiration to me when I was a teenager and trying game development out. Both the mechanics and the visual style. I had no idea they released the source code to it!
"Regulators are underfunded and outgunned by those whose massive profits rely on outsmarting them."

That's a feature, not a bug, and generally true in any country.

Like with any software engineering field, start looking at OSS. This is especially true with blockchains and web3 projects which are more often than not open sourced.

Then decide wether you want to jump on the blockchain/infrastructure bandwagon (Go, Rust, etc.) or the smart contract/app bandwagon (Solidity, etc.).

Then start contributing back to the OSS projects that interest you. If you do that, you should have no issue landing a job in the field.

Source: I did hire solidity developers a few years ago and I would totally look at their open source contributions as proof of their knowledge since this was/is such a new field.

I came here to post this, I just disagree it is "one of the best" shmups - it IS the best. Fully recommended.
I think this is because once you are a running on infinite cash, it becomes a no-brainer to apply what you've already learned to achieve that success. Also, stakeholders will require that. So pull in a bunch of management, MBA-s, designers, analysts, etc. What you end up with is lot of friction and no real innovation.
Can a possibility be possible?
69 of them I think. I went back up every time except the first.
The company you work for is not your family, you are just an NPC to them, they will get rid of you in a heartbeat as soon as it suits their interest, because the single purpose of a company is to make money, everything else is bullshit, you work for the company to make money as well, as soon as they would stop paying you, you would stop working.

You should build your life outside of any company:

- mixing friendship with work rarely ends well, you might end up competing with your best friend for the same promotion, he might not even be your best friend, just making you think that he is

- dating in the workplace is a minefield, you can easily get into trouble

Don't be attached to a company, you can find another role in seconds.

You don't need to keep up with everything in the company, you just need to be good at what you are doing.

You don't need to be promoted at the company, you just need to improve your skills, it might be easier to leave and join another company, or even rejoin the same one in a more senior role than to go through the promotion process.
Thinking back I can probably list all the open source games I've enjoyed on one hand.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is the one I enjoy daily, also enjoyed the predecessor. Play it every time I'm on the toilet. ;)

Konquest was a really fun old game that came with KDE back in the late 90s, early 2000s. I assume it was open source, I was just a kid playing it.

Nethack of course, enjoyed many hours in that dungeon.

Doom counts right? I played a lot of Doom in the 90s and it's open source now. Quake too I believe.

Edit: How the hell could I forget Cataclysm: Dark days ahead.

This is a hard list to make, partly because I love open source and there are so few titles I've enjoyed on a regular basis.

On the other hand, the main source of the money for the industry - major advertisers - are legitimate above-board companies, who either are honest or are liable for enforcement.

GDPR is not really about selling personal data but about using it; a big part of its effect is on buyers of data since GDPR effectively (there are all kinds of nuances) means that it's not legally possible for legitimate company to simply buy personal data for arbitrary purposes, since the data subject obviously did not opt-in to that particular purpose by that company when the data was collected.
This sounds to me a bit like saying it's unfortunate that shooter games are violent, or some forms of music satanistic.

Don't get me wrong -- I'm all about sustainability -- not in make-believe worlds but in real life.

I like exploring the awesome power of mechanisation at grand scales in a safe way, inside make-believe worlds. It's a way to learn about it without wrecking this one.
I'm very happy to see that Kagi is succeeding! I've been using it for about 3 months and I can concur with others that the search results are superb, on par with or above in quality of Google's. This is an impressive feat! And the ability to down- or upvote sites in the search results makes it even better. During my testing I only resorted to checking Google less than a dozen times and each time I concluded that Google doesn't have better results either.

As far as the cost go, I hoped for a lower figure but based on my experience it does worth $10/mo without a doubt! I trust Vlad has done the math properly on the costs and as an IT guy, I know that it's far from free to provide such service. And, on the benefit side: good quality search results saves you time, lets you find the correct solution rather than going down a rabbit hole. And without ads you are less likely to click on a spam or scam link.

But, of course, everybody's situation and priorities are different. An ad, spam, scam and privacy violation free search engine might not be as valuable to you as to me or others. Then you can simply use any of the other ad-supported search engines. I think the price is quite reasonable and in alignment with the costs of providing the service. And it's likely that as the user base grows and more and more search result caching opportunity will be available and the costs will come down. It's a new and pioneering approach which I think will give us a very valuable alternative to the current, declining quality search engines.

I also agree with Vlad on concentrating on quality and sustainability, rather than lightning fast expansion of the user base. This approach is a lot better in the long term and would help it to stay independent of other influences. With that said I'm really hoping that Kagi will stay clear of getting merged with some big tech company and its core values getting twisted along with that. That's another reason to put some user support behind to help Kagi make it.
Loved this game! I forget why I stopped playing. I played it for many years.

AR, like it has been depicted in sci-fi where digital objects can be placed within the real environment in the users full field of view is very hard to do and is decades away, if even possible.

What some companies call AR today isn't, it's just a HUD. Those will all fail.

In the near term the opposite of real AR: "passthru-VR", for lack of better term with cameras taking in real world and merging it with a digital VR world, have a chance of becoming popular.

It's simple, I came to the end of a journey (the final public artifact: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3477132.3483572 ). The thing was built, the organization was flushed out, and I helped grow a bunch of staff engineers to do what was needed. I succeeded as a leader and put myself out of a job.

At the end, they didn't know what to do with me, and I didn't want to deal with much of the day to day nonsense. I moved back to the midwest because being closer to friends and family became very important.

Now, I mess around with https://www.adama-platform.com which is fun when I can mess with it, and I can run the company how I see fit. For example, I believe in being 100% honest with no B.S.
You can also send an email instantly. So, obviously, in this context instant means synchronous, and not just immediately, otherwise there would be no point to put it into the name as a differentiating factor compared to email.

That sort of font is small enough that it could probably be encoded in the bookmarklet¹, and inserted into the target page's styling via a data Uri. Extra steps, but it would remove the need for the font to be locally available otherwise or requested from elsewhere.

[1] I'm not sure want the limits on those are on modern browsers, the length that would work varied quite a bit back in the day. It was small in IE (<2K?) though I'm not sure IE of the time I'm remembering the bookmark referred to previously supported fonts loaded that way anyway.

Hey! I have a bug report, related to downloading via Steam. I just purchased the game, but it won't finish downloading. It says "Missing downloaded files". I have retried multiple times. My drives are not full.

Maybe it's because I use the Linux client, but my experience is that MS Teams is the worst ever implementation of every single facet of chat and video communications. It's really the one popular application out there that seems to have absolutely no redeeming factors, and I'm constantly confused by why it has the uptake it has. I can only conclude that it has more to do with companies preferring Microsoft than because they actually like it, or that it satisfies some policy/legal reasons, (eg. I've heard it's more GDPR compliant.) But purely as software, it's actually the most terrible user experience I've ever had. I really don't get it.
This is crazy talk from Elon. Demanding your employees spend 40 hours a week "visibly present" in an office, rather than judging them by the value they have delivered to your business is absurd.

I very much enjoy working from an office and have been commuting to my office for the last year for my software job when almost none of my coworkers were. After March I was hoping more people would come back, but its really really low. I'd estimate about 5% of people are mostly working from the office, and 20% are coming in 1-2 days a week or for team events. These roughly matches what I've seen in polling of tech workers. People are voting with their feet.

I wish it were different. I would like to work in the future with a primarily in-office culture, but I don't see how that happens. A company that demands 40 hours in-person from people who can work remotely is not going to be able to attract the necessary talent.

S3 is expanding in Berlin! We're a small group building major products within S3 and growing fast!

I'm an ex-New York/Nairobi/Seattle person now putting together a team here and I'd love to talk to developers looking for serious scale with all the bells and whistles. I'm an ex-startup CTO/developer and we run the shop like that so you'll be at the cutting edge not only of the tech stack but also of the product development process (of which you will be an integral part).

Requires 2+ years experience and we have openings for senior/principal level engineers as well.

We use Rust, Java, and Python but other language backgrounds are encouraged.

No specific algorithm for now, but that is a good idea.

Yes, I have seeded the data from multiple open source projects for now. But I will also check how can I leverage APIs or maybe scraping to gather relevant data to this project. Libhunt and Saashub are under CC4 but not alternative.to I guess.
It would be great if such a site gave a SCORE for the open sourceness of the product in question. It has been becoming more and more common to have "open source" projects that are either not developed in the open, or not provide all the functionality needed without buying the "enterprise" version. Some projects don't provide installable binaries on some or all platforms either. Other metrics could be having an up to date repo, number of committers, number of recent bugs/issues not acknowledged in their repo etc.
