Very sorry for your loss. It's incredible how few videos are about thinking, not-celebrity adults. Gigabytes about kids with adult voiceover, some occasional video with one parent filming the other with other family members, but as of a few weeks ago I had nearly nothing with him being the subject, let alone him talking for more than seconds.

It's also made me more aware that there isn't even much where I'm filmed with my own kids (I'm the one filming 99.9% of the time).
Same thing happened with the windows 11 file explorer icons. I can't tell which icon from a glance is cut, copy and paste since they all look visually the same.

I know that search engines are optimized to facilitate commerce, and yes, depending on the extent to which you're bought into their ecosystem, Google probably knows a lot about you, like, for instance, whether or not you've been to Koh Lanta before as a tourist, but good lord what a self-centered way (for the author of this blog post, not the parent comment) to think about this.

Like, Koh Lanta is surely not just a vacation destination, it's also a place where people live their lives, go to work and school, are homeless, deal with illness. The expectation that Google will assume that by "koh lanta of croatia" you're really asking "vacation destinations in Croatia that are similar to Koh Lanta, Thailand" really rubs me the wrong way

Let's say its 30C. If you want to keep the air temperature at 27C, then the AC needs to be set below 27C. Also, many buildings have warmer areas and cooler areas. If you're unlucky to be in a warmer area, you're going to be working in temps of 30C or warmer.

And what about if I have a solar array on my roof? Shouldn't I be able to use the power I generate to be more comfortable?

I predict people will move the thermostat to a warmer part of the building, or just put a heat source under the thermostat.
Have you tried to buy something shipped from and sold by Amazon recently? I have had a couple promos in my account because of screw ups in shipping, so I’ve tried to use them. It’s impossible to find something that is both shipped from and sold by Amazon.

Amazon as a logistics company is also a joke. Their customer service is now bottom of the barrel, which is a real shame because it used to be decent. As a paying Prime customer, my items are late or lost probably 1/3 of the time.

Once a real competitor comes around that can compete on price and some level of good selection without being a horrendous experience, Amazon will be put on notice.

Thanks for the link, it looks like an interesting project, and fun engineering challenge.

It would be interesting to see $ spent per tonne of garbage removed from the rivers vs ocean. Like you said, far more economical to focus on the source. Given no project has unlimited funds, why spend resources on the"garbage patch"? I suspect that they still work on the ocean part because:

1. Is better for fundraising;

2. Is a fun engineering challenge;

3. fun to work on big boats;

4. Helps with recruitment;
I think this raises another point. An apples-to-apples comparison is only possible if you can do both yourself. If you're not a coder, then you're comparing creating a spreadsheet with managing coding. And the latter is even more difficult to learn than coding itself.

I'm in the middle ground -- can code until the cows come home, but can't manage a coding project to save my life. I am extremely sympathetic when someone has to manage me coding. I'm always thinking to myself: How can I avoid turning this into a nightmare for them?

I guess it doesn’t help my perspective that I’m heavily into 90s indie rock.

Cloud rap wasn’t coined because the platform was a failure that’s for sure. I think the future of SoundCloud looks more focused on hip hop, EDM, and types of music that are often produced more consistently than one album at a time. But albums are an archaic concept, maybe all music will move towards more frequent syndication.

I just hope they don’t end up like MySpace, whatever it is that they do.
FTA:

> Why don’t other search engines compete on search results? It can’t be hard to do better than Google for the long tail.

I think that's the "citation needed" that the author's missing. It's not like Google is unaware of this problem, and a huge piece of their research spend goes into improving search.

It's entirely possible nobody's doing better than Google because nobody knows how. The entire paradigm Google's leading in might be a saddle-point with significant activation energy needed to escape it while still having something as usually-useful as Google.
> But am I overly optimistic about historical Google?

Well, I was about to post a similar reply. It would have taken some messing around with the search string, but I'm confident I would be able to find something like this on Google 18 years ago, and I'm certain that if it exists, I can't find it now (unless it's on some big name site).
Apple Files Patent for a Blood Pressure Monitoring System for Apple Watch
Isn't this just getting older? You could just as well ask why is life so monotonous. There's a finite number of experiences, practically speaking, and as you go through each, subsequent versions lack novelty. This is also why time seems to speed up as we age.
The router basically connects to the hotel wifi and all the requests go through the router. So, while the hotel wifi only sees one device (my glnet router appears as a Samsung mobile), all the other devices connected to the router can identify each other.

I don’t remember what exactly you call this, bridge mode perhaps? Or AP repeater mode? I’m not too sure about the networking terms here

Edit: This comes in handy when you want to connect a device which is not capable of using the captive portal. That device can simply connect to your router. The router can connect to the Ethernet port or you can use its app/web interface to connect it to the WiFi network and proceed with the captive portal if needed
What you describe is a very important distinction from Calvin, as this mechanism for deriving a global log is core to its design. Have you published this new approach in any public venue?

If not, we’re now in an unfortunate situation where neither your practical nor theoretical capabilities are public knowledge.

> every host talk with every other host

Only every shard

> you seem to think you know more about FaunaDB's architecture than you do

You are perhaps being uncharitable. The only public statements I am aware of about Fauna's capabilities relate to its Calvin heritage. I have only been asking if my understanding is correct regarding both Calvin and its application to Fauna. However, none of the prior issues you responded to were problems with the original Calvin paper either, at least by my reading.

Ok, besides python support... The thing I'd like more than anything:

A better way to edit cell with really long function calls.

If nothing else, add color coded parenthesis to the bar at the top and not just in the cell.

Like, sometimes you just need some if/else statements... but try to parse and edit even something fairly simple like:

=IF(AND(LongExpression > 3, Other_longexpression<5),AnotherLongExpression, IF(AND(LongExpression>5,Other_longexpression<10), AnotherLongExpression, 0))

Even with the color-coded parentheses, this is really hard! And God Forbid all those "LongExpression" have a bunch of parenthesis and PEMDAS that needs to be respected.

It's... really goddamn tedious. I lost track of the parenthesis while writing that in this window ...However, if I could just have a little popout window where I could add arbitrary new/lines and spaces, that would make a difficult thing into something downright enjoyable and productive. Something like:

=IF(
AND(
LongExpression > 3,
Other_longexpression<5
),

AnotherLongExpression,

IF(
AND(
LongExpression>5,
Other_longexpression<10
),
AnotherLongExpression,
0
)
)

Would make things much easier to parse.

This doesn’t line up with my experience with Drivatars. They seem to have a driving line that they stick to. They often can’t maintain the line in unusual conditions like high powered RWD cars with low traction (like the recent Retro Muscle Trial) and they spin out or drive very slowly. There might be a NN somewhere but it feels much simpler.

Thanks for that great contribution! Hopefully I can also find a good team by posting there. :)
My dad and I did not have the kind of connection where I could have done this but I applaud you for doing it and for sharing it. I have other family members where this sort of thing is much more applicable for me and I think you just gave me the push I needed to go and act on it. So thank you very much.
Thinking about it, this could be the way forwards. Memory offers several natural bottlenecks:

1. Memory size - Memory is somewhat costly (even now), with most entry laptops being stuck in the range of 8GB.

2. Access bandwidth - Getting a CPU to communicate with the RAM takes some time, improvements are incremental and are fundamentally limited.

3. Thread access - Threads compete for bandwidth, as long as cache hits are low.
The Bizarre History of the Mongoose in Hawaii and the Havoc It’s Caused
Not at all. It's highly unusual for a politician to speak against the party line on a bill, if at all. The only time we ever see fracturing, if any, is around the elections, where dissatisfied members may break away or switch parties. It's not uncommon for people to switch allegiances if they were refused an election ticket as the party candidate, or for higher level politicians to form break away factions if refused the Chief Ministerial position, for example. The Anti-Defection Law allows breakaway factions only if at least 1/3rd leave en masse.
Your aside is exactly why I wanted to use a spreadsheet. It's the only tool that has that market penetration for non-programmers, and I wanted to see what made it tick. It seems like that may have backfired by not using Excel, however.

You mentioned loops in the output as a requirement for a compiler, but I'm this case all compilers that unroll loops are not compilers. Early shader compilers come to mind.
Oh, and:
- The name manager is relatively cumbersome to use. F.e. at least some copy/clone functionality would be nice.
- Excel table columns cannot be directly used for DVL lists, you need to create additional named ranges pointing to them.
- Once Excel tables have been created, afaik it is not yet possible to extend them by additional columns, respective edit their defined ranges?
- RegExp support for DVLs, w/o having to rely on VBA (desktop only) or OfficeScript (Online only)
Does this mean that pages with excessively complicated cookie acceptance/rejection also get ranked higher because they have a longer dwell time? Talk about a dark pattern.

Among other things, Linux on the Web can be used to usher in a new paradigm for accessing online resources.

The current document-centric approach has an intensely graphical (attention grabbing) aspect which very much encourages the least common denominator types of results that the author abhors.

Those who want to be more thoughtful about these things need better toolsets to allow them to focus the way that they go about their online lives (including general search).

Google is in indeed more than search. They are also the machine learning framework, Tensorflow. Linux on the Web is in as good a position as anything else to start putting the JavaScript implementation (Tensorflow.js) to very good use.

We don't need new search engines as much as we need new search engine interfaces.
This is golden. It's nice to see people add context to Indian politics on HN. All too often, even the most well-read American has a naïve understanding of Indian politics. You're doing God's work giving folks glimpses into the sheer difference, complexity and nuance of Indian politics.

> but the edit timer has run down on that comment

such is life.

> I'm curious about your reasons for having a low opinion of them?

I think part of it is because I only ever read them when someone tells me about how they mis-reported on something. So, it might be personal bias where I overtly hone-in on the mistakes they make. I don't read either OutlookIndia or TheWire enough to make strong claims about their caliber as journalism houses. But when I get linked to them, I make sure to get a 2nd opinion.
I was there for it.

It worked for a select group of toy problem domains and the answer for most high-concept searches would be noise or nothing.

The author never manages to convince me that the information they're looking for is on the Internet for Google to index in the first place. The author then asserts "don't just hit me with garbage," which is a fine assertion, except what they're interpreting as 'garbage' is the information other people making the search could actually use. Google A/B tested the hell out of "say nothing" vs. "guess something close to what the requester might care about" and the latter won out every time.
100% agree. But if you mention this, he will tell you that he is a college professor, and therefore you don't know what you're talking about.

In 20 years, with luck, he will look back on himself today and just sigh.

He simply does not follow what the majority of his guests are saying sometimes to the point of argument. Maybe "strong disagreement" is a better phrase. He will not understand what a guest says, then challenge it as if he did. It's infuriating to listen to.

I mostly avoid his podcast now, because of it. I may listen to this one because John always says a lot of things that are interesting to me. Unless it's VR. Then, I don't give a hoot.
Exactly! The top "comment" right now is: "this is a clear demonstration of the user's expectation of search having exceeded what's possible today".

When Google puts 4 paid ads ahead of the first
When Google puts 4 paid ads ahead of the first organic result for your own brand name, you’re forced to pay up if you want to be found. It’s a shakedown. It’s ransom. But at least we can have fun with it. Search for Basecamp and you may see this attached ad.
I disagree because it’s 100% within Google power to purge junk websites, see Panda in 2011.

But they didn’t want to do that anymore. Why? Because of ads money.

To drive the point home, it is not that difficult for Google to have a junk score and simply phase out the junkiest of junks. But they didn’t even want to do that.
Perl for one-off tasks, especially ones involving text. It has a bad reputation from the uses it got put to outside of its original problem domain of text processing, unix scripting, and improving on sed, awk, and shell, so that (figuratively) no one understands its core strengths. It doesn't help that you can technically do the exact same things in Python...but you won't, just like you won't write purely functional Java code. You do not get like results by using a tool with impedance mismatch to the problem.
The Grand Unified Theory of Documentation also appears at Divio's site https://documentation.divio.com/

Some additional documents that don't fit neatly into the 4-document model are

Conceptual overviews, which are kind of like explanations but lean more towards the broader theories

Case studies, focusing on practical examples in use

FAQs are kind of a reference, focusing on common problems in usage

Troubleshooting guides can cover problems too uncommon for FAQs, but they usually presume a certain level of knowledge

Best practice articles are opinionated guides supplementing explanatory documents with additional guidance on why some solutions should be idiomatic
Social media existed way before 2006, it just wasn't so popular.

But this was indeed a great time. Remember being on a social network ca 1999 and people used it as a diary where others could comment, give advice and meet others with similar interests. There was a timeline and posts from people you "followed". I think it didn't have likes or ratings though. Most people were super friendly and we were doing meet ups, so very much everyone knew each other. At peak time there was about 20k people and at that point owners couldn't cope with it. With that amount of people you'll find some nasty ones that will ruin it for everyone else and that's what happened. Owners couldn't afford to host it, so they were doing crowdfunding to cover the server costs and maintenance. Some bitter people didn't like that and started making unfounded accusations of theft or that they will report everything to the tax man and the police. So owners eventually closed it.
I think the main problem with studio work is that it sets highly unrealistic expectations for what a woman’s body looks like. It’s professionally groomed and unnatural and girls cannot possibly meet the same standard on any given Tuesday. Neither can guys but I feel like the expectations for guys are generally much lower anyway.

I always wanted to do this with my grandfather. We had so many stories from his accounts and from his children and grandchildren, but never a through recap of his experience.

I always slacked and just toyed with the idea, but never acted on it. Now there's he is gone, and along with him the opportunity.

I am happy that you did, and I will take advantage of doing so with my dad.
That's exactly what I did. Now separate out some columns and perform some additional transformation on that FILTERed data. Can you do it without repeating yourself (duplicating the FILTER statement, or any of the other transformations you need to do, besides just filling down a column). Can you perform these transformations only on the row height of the data, and not have extra rows with broken formulas?

I honestly wouldn't even be surprised if the functionality to do the above does exist, but for all of my searching I couldn't find it.
I didn't realize there was an anime adaption of that; I read the first few chapters of the manga a while ago and my impression was that it was a "sex comedy" that was neither sexy nor funny; does it get better?

In addition; Per wikipedia, Tokyo MX and SUN both canceled their airing of it as well, so it's not strictly western sensibilities that it is failing.
I have two trimmers, one is a four stroke and the other is battery electric. The gasoline trimmer is generally a rarely used pole saw now because I can trim the whole yard without killing the small battery. It's easier, lighter, and quieter.
I’ve had shipments be late and go missing recently and they straight up just say “ok we will send you another one” without any other resolution. They seem to be stopping that behavior, at least for me. I have to specifically complain about the cost of Prime or tell them I am considering canceling before they offer up $5.
5 hours?! I'm diving in (I try to fastforward when Lex talks). Carmack is one of the few people that actually inspires me a bit - like I listen to him and think "okay, I should be writing way more code than I do".
Well, isn't still type-safe then? If every field is optional, then a zero byte message is a totally valid message. The issue is that every field is optional, and there are no required fields at all.

I'm very annoyed that all fields are optional. Which means I have to do additional validation on server side and in a language like rust it's double annoying because now you have `T` or `Option<T>` and it's confusing for some types:

- `string` will be rust's `String` except it is an empty string by default
- All "custom" types are `Option<T>` even if that makes no sense semantically

So now you have to check if a string is empty, which I guess is technically a string anyway. However, now you have no idea, it is an empty string as a value or lack of value? You end up wrapping `string` into a `StringValue` and now linter is complaining that you shouldn't use those.

Overall parser for protobuf messages got simpler, but now enforcing safety is on server's implementation.
Is the title also misleading because it’s not written in Spanish?
