Googling for kitty terminal information has a top result of a clothing store
I just had something happen that I think others here would find equally fascinating/frustrating as I did and hopefully someone could explain what happened a bit better than I can.

I was googling something regarding the Kitty terminal and a clicked a result that seemed to be related to be related to my query (first words in the link title were "Kitty keybindings"). When I click on the link it sends me to a Russian shopping website that has nothing to do with my search[0,1].

I have seen some scam/spam search results in the past that are unrelated to my query, but usually I find through CMD-f that they have a ton of random words, many of which match my query, in the same color as the background of the website and so I figured that's how they tricked Google.

But here is different, in the Google cache[2] of the page there is a totally different html result/url than where I am taken - it is almost entirely filled with SEO keywords, and it is a different URL then clicking on the Google result takes me too.

I assumed there was some redirects along the way but trying to track the requests using online redirect tracking tools like Redirect Detect [3] just yields 404s.

How are these websites able to do this? And how is a company with the resources of Google not able to detect such blatant spam like this? I understand how SEO websites get the top search results when they are topic adjacent - but it baffles me that Google is unable to detect websites that take users to a completely unrelated page.

Clever, thanks for the insight. Let me know if you want to have a real discussion
>Many religious people are born into it.

So are many atheists, I grew up with some myself.

>Converting educated adults is an uphill battle

I'm assuming by educated adults, you mean atheists. Converting educated religious adults to atheism is also an uphill battle. Perhaps that, like my previous post, says more about the nature of people than about atheism/ theism.
Instantly confused this with a feature specific to DragonFlyBSD.
Looking sweet though.
Yep I forgot about VeloCloud and SASE. It really is a beast of a company :-)

Jetbrains IDEs provide a link to explainshell.com with the highlighted shell command. Have used it often. Very helpful.
Cool! Can smaller businesses gain access to these funds ?
Three sentences, each with the same thing stated twice - three tautologies.
That was also my gripe with Firefly III. I liked the looks of it but the setup was a PITA
Non-programmer here. I love editing in vim and emacs. I hate reading these cookie cutter arguments that supposedly all this stuff is a lot of work or hard to learn. It's much easier than programming is.
Yes, since the definition of 'lie' covers both intentional and unintentional deception, but I interpreted the above comment to be referring to intentional lies. " Maybe she figured out that making up bullshit gave her power" doesn't read as sincere belief to me.
One for each version 'till 95 ;)
But that approach doesn't work if you intend for people to be able to access it from their mobile app, multiple PCs, etc.

Slapping a web server into a local desktop install and calling it good basically removes the vast majority of benefits of it being a web app.
Because it breaks separation of powers, and this distinction was actually made in the opinions we’ve seen — Congress can’t delegate “uniquely legislative powers.” Like if the EPA can effectively write laws and is run by the executive branch then the executive branch can write laws. That seems bad if you believe that the whole point of the branches of government is to prevent exactly this situation.
FDB scales really well with reads, but it will bottleneck on writes a lot faster than you think. For write heavy workloads, Redis and Dragonfly would both leave FDB in the dust (and I say this as a big FDB user/enthusiast).
Nice. Also this article seems to conflate the ethylene concentration in water with that in air.
Ah just violating the laws of physics NBD
Very, very few places will let you not use a framework nowadays. There is a ton of cargo culting around JS frameworks and coding vanilla is pretty much heresy land these days. Personal projects? Go for it. Commercial apps built for your employer? Good luck with that. Not only will you be raked over the coals for "reinventing the wheel" you'll also be blamed for any stumble along the way, whether it's related to using vanilla or not.

> if you want some war stories from your granddad, have you heard of jQuery ? :D

Bah, whippernsapper! I cut my baby web teeth on CGI and spent the bulk of it in Struts and JSF. Remember THOSE?
You probably know this but if that is your real date of birth, I suggest that change the numbers so that you are not leaking your and your wife’s PII on the internet. All sorts of people out there who might be able to use it to steal both your identities, crypto, etc.

In fact your entire comment linking your easily obtainable phone number to your birthday might be risky to say publicly.
Evolutionary or not I don't know, but I can't stand that sound of mosquitos and want to kill them.

I'm someone who helps a bee/spider/any insect find its way instead of killing, but for some reason I literally want every mosquito on the planet to die.

Perhaps this explains it.
My wife is happy to tell me I’m a jerk (over that one), so don’t feel bad about that part. But in this instance I had a camera-ready due with a hard deadline and nobody else was available to submit it. I guess I could have put a year’s worth of research at risk, but that’s much harder than you think (for what it’s worth, labor lasted a long time and had a lot of ‘down time’. But it’s a choice I still regret.)

Add to the list of challenges: in industry you usually have a pretty deep bench to back you up, and in academic projects you may be one out of one or two contributors.
> Say what you will about Jony Ive but the eMate 300 is a beautiful design that also looks pretty functional.

Thomas Meyerhoffer designed the eMate 300. Jony designed the second-generation Newton MessagePad, the Newton MessagePad 110.
Yes to both, and I can't say many projects followed a radically different approach, at least without good reason. Webpack and Redux for example are many times more common than something like Parcel or Jotai, so it's rare to encounter many of these alternatives in one project.
This is really awesome. I'm very excited to get access to DALL-E 2, is there any way to speed that up? Surprised someone hasn't used their access already to provide a "slow" community edition.
Although this is about typography and I have only ever seen it referenced in relation to that field, her philosophy could be applied in other areas. For example, in cinema, some directors constantly remind you of their artistic control (e.g. Orson Welles), while others avoid drawing attention to themselves (e.g. Ron Howard).
I can try and help, although I'm assuming you are talking about drawing tablets without screens:

> Which Wacom tablet should I get?
It doesn't have to be wacom, there are lots of options - Huion and XP-Pen come to mind as two low cost ($20+) examples, to get your feet wet in the wordle of tablets, although there are lots of other companies as well

> Would an iPad be a better choice for note taking?
Depends on how you like your notes - an iPad is about as portable as a graphics tablet, so it's mostly personal preference and cost here

> How do Wacom and iPad compare hardware wise?

In terms of horizontal/vertical resolution: you probably don't need to worry about it, it'll be fine as long as your tablet is well matched in size to your screen (I quite like 8" diagonal or similar for a 24" screen, scaling up and down from there? personal preference though)

Both will do the basics of pressure sensitivity (any number of levels of sensitivity above 1024 is probably indistinguishable unless you are serious about it, ignore the marketing) and tablets will support tilt from a fairly low price. The main difference is that graphics tablets support 'hovering' the pen above the tablet to show the cursor on the screen, although this is not necessary on an iPad where the image is directly underneath.
You seem to be confused about how governments establish budget priorities.
I don't have a problem with SPA's.

I just hate the Javascript monopoly and can't wait for another option to dethrone JS with another more sane language through Web Assembly or some other meant.
Agreed, had similar experiences, and I won't take a role with any type of on-call duty. Thankfully there are a lot of companies out there that aren't trying to cannibalize their employees' free time to cut costs.
Range for loops are in C++11, 4 years earlier than Rust 1.0.
One difference was that PHP was specifically designed to be launched by or embedded in a web server and Ruby wasn't. Getting that glue to an unfinicky, unclunky state took some time.
If GPT-6 was only larger, it would still only know the things in its training set, whereas a human can take arbitrary time to think, can go out and perform experiments, can Google/GPT things themselves, etc.

GPT can never be an intelligent agent because it’s not an agent. Also, the increased training time to produce a really big model makes it less like an intelligence, which has low marginal cost to learn something new.

The reason GPT looks intelligent is because you’re the one providing that; it’s just a big blob of inanimate knowledge.

Postgres, mysql, mariadb, cockroachdb, Prometheus, neo4j, firebase, dbaas. The list goes on and on.

Multiple things exist. That’s fine and healthy? You don’t need to know absolutely everything.
So then my point still stands-- why not eliminate all the autistic people if intelligence is an independent event anyways?
The principles guiding these specific Nato committments will likely be expressed in contemporaneous reports. Here's an NY Times archive search for Nato and Russia in the period 1996--1998:

https://www.nytimes.com/search?dropmab=false&endDate=1998123...

I've yet to read through those (or others elsewhere), but at the time, there was much being made of the peaceful transition of the former Soviet bloc to democratic and independent rule, including the former states of the Soviet Union, some of which remained within Russia, others, including Ukraine, which did not. There was a delicate balance of diplomacy, military concerns, economics, and internal politics in seeking a successful path forward. Committments to ease Russian concerns were all but certainly made under those considerations.

The general principle of spheres of influence or concern are old and long-standing. The US Monroe Doctrine held that any intervention in the political affairs of the Americas was a potentially hostile act against the United States. It was first articulated in 1823 and goverened US policy through the early 20th century.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroe_doctrine

See also the Carter Doctrine, which put a specific emphasis on oil:

The notion of a sphere of influence dates to ancient times, though most typically refers to the 19th century and following.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_of_influence

Put simply: a state's interests and concerns extend past its borders. That does not give unlimited licence to act beyond borders, though this has of course occurred frequently throughout history by any number of parties: Russian and its precursor state the Soviet Union, the United States, the UK and its precursor England, Germany, Japan, China, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iran, India, Pakistan, and more. Whether acting unilaterally and without reasonable provocation or expressing interests and concerns, any major state will have such concerns, and will likely have some history of action.

That said, a defensive alliance to which states seek membership on a voluntary basis without coercion from the alliance itself, and in paritcular under a credible hostile external threat, as seems to be the present case with Russia, would be hard to argue against under even the broadest of Sphere of Influence / external concerns constructions.
Highly recommend r/personalfinance, there's tons of good information there and the wiki will explain a lot of the basics to you.

General advice:

- don't keep money in a savings account, you're losing money because inflation is always higher than savings account returns (even under normal circumstances)

- first, pay off any debt

- keep an emergency fund of 3-6 months of expenses (can keep it in cash in a money market account)

- buy 10k of ibonds (guaranteed inflation protection)

- simplest thing to do with the rest is to open a vanguard account, put it into a target retirement account (e.g. a 2055 account if you think you'll retire in 30 years). These accounts start aggressively in stocks and slowly shift to bonds as you get older, and have much lower fees than actively managing them. Don't try to outsmart the market, just let it sit there and don't touch it unless you decide to buy a house later.

- make annual, max contributions to tax-advantaged retirement funds (401k or IRA) if you have access to them / are within income limits. There's more you can do to optimize here, but I won't overload with details.

It made sense to me, but I chose the interpretation that was obviously true (kids are at very low risk from covid, adult vaccination doesn't prevent infection very successfully) rather than choosing the interpretation that was controversial.
Hi HN! I hope you find this toy as fun and relaxing as I do. I wrote a post with more details here[1].

Curious how you think that climate change will kill more people than violent crime.

Perhaps you should talk to the largest corporations who are busy polluting the waters and skies? The government knows how to shut them down, where to find them, but instead they are buying stock in those companies.

What a curious coincidence that Valve is a private company.
If bison were intelligent, they wouldn’t be cooperative considering how we genocided them - so it’d be hard to tell if they are or not.
Back in my Apple II+ days, I spent a great deal of time programming 6502 assembler. I learned a great deal of the language by studying the disassembly of the Apple ROM (written primarily by Woz) that was conveniently included in the user manual and studying programs written by others and published in a variety of Apple-centric magazines (Nibble come to mind). I wrote straight assembler programs as well as a hybrid assembler/Applesoft Basic. I'd written assembly programs for the IBM 360 in college so I undertood the gist but the 6502 just seem friendlier. Very fondly revered times.
Not all apps have in-app volume. In which case you have Hardware volume x Windows master volume x Windows app volume -- and which should be removed? No hardware volume? Everything controlled by software? Sounds horrible. No Windows master volume? What if you want everything quieter, turn it all down one-by-one? No Windows volume mixer? I explained why that's an issue in my previous comment.

Your example of a good implementation is iOS which is hard to compare to because mobile OSes are generally single-task focused. But I certainly wouldn't want an iOS-style volume control on my PC.
And once again, that seems much more like an evasion to me than a debate. Something worked, per the influenza numbers. You admit that much, right? So, is it so weird to assume that the most obvious hypothesis (general social distancing and mask use) is correct? Must we go in circles of denial and redirection like this?
He geeks out about it and its great.
COMPILERS - just use LLVM.
Why do we need 900 different compilers ? We can have every architecture, programming language covered. Less human resource wasted. Experiments and new approaches can be tried inside LLVM too.
There's people out there who chose PostgreSQL twenty five years ago and found out since to have made the right choice. Not sure if that can be said of any item on the list you were responding to.
I completely misread this as

> Greeks love naturalistic explanations of mythological ideas, however far fetched.

And wonder whether this is also broadly, historically true?
Yes but acting like 99% of humanity is going to die is irrational, illogical, not true in any reality, and scares the shit out of people. It’s tragic that doomers have made people think that has any chance of happening.
What a nuisance
What are your saving goals? Retirement? Housing? For when aee you saving? The answers to these questions will shape your strategy.

As an example, if you are looking to buy a house within 2 years then I would not recommend investing in ETFs, as short term market volatility may cause you to initially lose value and delay your goal of buying a house.

If your goal is retirement or buying a house in 5+ years then ETFs are a good idea, as the longer the time horizon the less short term volatility impacts you.
Changing APIs. When the front-end gets JSON from an API. We really don't know what we're getting. We need to liaise with the API team to figure out how these APIs work and when they change, we don't know what changed. Luckily there is a new solution. End to end type safety. Using tools like graphQL allows FED build tools to get the entire API schema and bring that into the typescript build. If the API changes, your build will break allowing you to update your app to the latest API.

Maybe we need a new HTTP method "SCHEMA" that allows the app team to get the schema directly from the API and stop sharing postman links around in chats.
As if it's so easy to move from one thing to another. Yikes!
I use a voip.ms IVR to filter calls since I was getting so many spam calls on my phone. Whitelisted numbers ring through and everyone else has to press a number. It totally killed all spam.
PCF is still making bank but the industry has rallied around K8s. So growth has stalled but it has a happy customer base.

Unfortunately there’s no real equivalent (OpenShift is not really “it”) on K8s unless you’re assembling several products together with a lot of glue. Which is what everyone does, with varying quality.
To focus on social welfare for a moment, we don't do enough to offset the effects of a major industry leaving a town. Many people don't relocate to continue to be productive and so we end up with large amounts of poverty in those areas. I think relocation benefits should be part of the social safety net in the US, as areas see more loss of industry from competition. Wage increases are also causing industries to leave as competition heats up which is in a large part caused by our disastrous housing and healthcare situation driving up the cost of living.
Slightly surprised that query wasn’t thrown off by decades of Penny Arcade but maybe the character’s name isn’t that clear.
Cost isn’t just money.
I would disagree until we reach arbitrary clean power generation. Current agricultural land contraction is entirely based huge expansions in fossil fuel based fertilizer and is not sustainable. A lot of farmland is being depleted and topsoil thinning which shows even with fossil fuel fertilizer we are overutilizing the land beyond capacity.
If you’re technical enough to self host and concerned about privacy, you might want to try using GNU Ledger and hand-rolling importers.

I was in your position about 3 years ago, and have no regrets going down this path.

Downloading all of the necessary files by hand only takes a couple minutes with a decent password manager. You’ll spend more time (re-)categorizing and running interesting reports, and IME the ledger apps have the best experience in this dimension, although YNAB isn’t bad.
Actually, it changes a LOT over time. I'm a little removed from the breast feeding days, so I had to look it up. Here is a cool article [0].

I'll summarize some of the cool points. Breast milk changes to respond to 3 distinct ages of the baby. Newborn to 3ish days. 3ish days to 1 year. 1 year to "the end".

Milk changes to respond to growth spurts of your baby!

Milk changes to provide antibodies. Not covered in this article: it is hypothesized that kissing your baby can give the mom bacteria on the baby - and then the mom makes the antibodies for bacteria the baby was exposed to.

Milk changes throughout the day!

Milk changes in the middle of breast feeding

That's it. Those are the ones I enjoyed. Here is the link!!

Hi! Author here. I'll admit I struggled to find a more precise word than "context". What I mean is that a friendship is not the 1:1 interaction you have with your friend, but that friend's omni-directional interaction with every other friend. Their location within a network is one way of putting it. In other words, their entanglements in your web of mutual commitments, shared history, and collective responsibility.

Ah, but tether foundation would have to buy it, but more likely a third party buys it with already existing tether.

They would have to liquidate a lot of Bitcoin into USD at once to satisfy a big request for withdrawal, which is a problem since tether's raison d'etre is to provide that liquidity because the dollars weren't there.
Cost of goods are deductible against sales. But unsold inventory is not. So effectively it is taxed as business profit.
I discovered this on my own site years ago now, at the time I thought it was just my inexperience, which to be fair it was.

If you think properly about security and don't blindly rely on third parties (especially for auth) you'll be fine.
Partners do like to hire and fire lots of associates so they don't have to pay as many senior associates and management. They sure as hell froze pay and fired a ton of people in 2020 and made everyone else double up. The pay when accounting for inflation in accounting has stayed flat or fallen until just recently. Now they're having a "talent shortage." Go figure.

The partners will happily make you work 50-90 hours during busy season which may be once or twice per year. And, don't get me started on the industry wide billing for time and lying on timesheets to meet the budget.
