Ever since I got my hands on Turbo C++ 1.0, back in 1993, I see no reason why one should downgrade ourselves to C.

At least C++ give us the tools to be a bit more secure, even if tainted with C's copy-paste compatibility.

"Essentials"

Much of the western world is near-digital at this point.

I handwrite things so rarely these days that my handwriting has reverted back to year 6 level.
Yes, of course, colonialism was a curse for many countries, but we need to see further. Colonialism only works if a side has a much better technology than the other.

And the fact is that Europe (subjected to harsh winters, global empires and constant wars) had a much better technology. Period.

And that advances in war and travel, were based in lots and lots of solid science, created much before colonialism. You can't build a big ship or a bridge that stands 1000 years without solid math and skills.

Being subjected to a strong religion that is against science o pro-science also played a huge part.

The idea that when in danger of overheating or freeze our brain stop all machines and concentrates only in how to keep our body alive for one hour more is totally reasonable.

What about the "-"?
I search things in English daily. The results are translated word by word into similar sounding words in Japanese written in Katakana with zero English on the page.

I’m sorry, but what you’re saying simply is not true. It’s immensely frustrating. Using bing, DDG, or literally any other search engine doesn’t have this problem. And I’m searching common words, common concepts, basic things that even the worst search engines will accurately provide results for.

The most frustrating thing is sometimes the language will flip. I will get English on certain hours of the day. But if I make a single search in Japanese, it flips back into that mode and there’s no unsticking it.
-site:pinterest.com

works perfectly, and i use it in my all queries where i search for images.
I thought these meant something else:

+: the term following must be in the text (but may be stemmed)

"": search for exactly this phrase (not stemmed)

So for example:
+hiking => a term like hike, hiking, hiker, etc. must be on the page

+"hiking" => the string "hiking" must be on the page

"hiking" trekking outdoor => look for the string "hiking" and preferably return results that contain it, though hits for trekking and outdoor (stemmed) suffice

But apparently I'm wrong, and "" and + don't mean that any longer?
> More interesting: in the future with gpt5 and image generation tech, how will we know if anything is real ever again online? Actual question

Another question... Say we discover a new planet in 2030. Countless low quality, click/ads driven websites are going to report about it using gpt-4 text and dall-e 4 pictures.

Now how do we train gpt-5 and dall-e 5 to know about that new planet, yet somehow sort between what's "real" about that planet and what's poorly generated by inferior AIs (by that I mean inferior to the new version of the AI we're trying to train)?

Do we now need an AI to first determine what's real and what's not to know how to correctly train the new AI without using polluted data?

Mind blown.
Some test frameworks allow you to mark these tests as xfail (expected fail). When you fix the issue, you can remove the xfail in the same commit.
The shame of this is, sometimes it's nice to be able to indicate to google which words in your complex query should be treated as a phrase, without forcing 100% literal matching. So the ideal for a power user would be to have both quotes for phrase grouping and +/- for exact search and exclusion. (Both of which could be used on either single terms or phrases.)

Working numeric ranges would be nice too. And wildcards. Heck, full logical AND/OR search with parentheses.
One of several reasons why I'm never going back to Android. I know it's probably a controversial opinion here but iOS has a better user experience - I'm not forced to have malicious apps by default.

Probably true. The only Internet had a great filter. You needed to have money, technical know-how, and a great deal of openness and vision to do anything on the Internet, especially publishing anything there. Nowadays, there is no more filter, neither for access to the Internet, nor for publishing on it.

Also, getting people to pay you money is now a proven concept on the Internet. Whereas, in the early days, not only where there few options for taking payments or for monetizing content with ads, but it also wouldn’t have been worth the effort because that just wasn’t a big enough target audience.

Interesting contrast between this thread and the hustle porn thread.

I suspect it depends on individual creativity. Some people have very little and don't miss it, and a hyper-managed & disciplined life makes them feel like they're achieving important things.

Others do and they're always going to find it harder to find a balance between getting useful boring shit done and inventing and creating cool original stuff - an inherently non-linear process, which needs fallow periods and down time and a certain amount of chaos, as well as work and practice.

There clearly was a discoverability issue with 3D Touch. When you knew which app supported the feature, it was awesome but there was no way of knowing in advance if there was support for it before using it.
Long pressing an icon or anything just to see that nothing happens was just frustrating. Long term effect was that users probably felt this wasn't reliable/supported enough to use the feature at all or at least not in the scale Apple wanted.

But often, it's harder to get back to productivity. Especially when I got into social mode, it's hard to get back to focus mode.

Not intentionally cripple. It takes years to get to feature parity even with laser focus. If that focus isn't there (deciding Sheets has a slightly different positioning in the market for instance) it's not getting to feature parity.
Many countries in Africa are probably leading the way. Central and up uses phones as a virtual card, they send cash around with their phones using different types of sms/digital technologies.

In the south such as South Africa a lot of people have some form of bank card (apart from the people on the very bottom of society). As such those people on the bottom are affected by being cashless, because for example people might no longer carry around cash to hand out to the needy on street corners etc.

What do you mean with "not cleanly"?

bar.update_smooth(i * 100 / 7)

Once i is 7, this will be equal to 100. No matter your rounding mode. You don't need a CS degree for that formula.
I didn't know this feature was 3D touch-specific.

Why can't Apple make the feature activate on a regular "long press" for the other models?
That used to be the case. It's why they rose to dominance (that and the "no extra crap on the page"). Nowadays, Google's search results are pretty meuh. However, the domain has become much more adversarial with many companies devoted to manipulating search results for a fee. Not sure, perhaps "meuh" is the best we can hope for nowadays.

If a service can consistently deliver good results on the first page (like Google used to, 20-odd years ago), they could definitely dethrone Google. Of course, the moment that appears to be the case, all SEO spammers start focusing on the new rival and the newcomer's job becomes a lot harder.
> We don't ignore the terms that are quoted.

This has not been my experience. I regularly use quotes and get back pages that don't contain the phrase.

The article suggests that content might not appear because it is in the source of the page, or the page has changed since it was crawled. However, I've grepped the source of the page, and checked Google's cache of the page, and not found the quoted phrase.

I used to report bad results to Google, but it's a complete black box and I have no idea if anyone pays attention to them, so I don't anymore.
Yes, you can.

I use Yandex browser [Chromium-based] on Android. Like all mobile browsers, it's a piece of crap. But it's the least piece of crap one I've found so far. The only mobile browser that offers text-reflow[0] AND the ability to install any extension [1][2]

[0] Kiwi browser also has text-reflow. But the implementation is terrible. Yandex's works really well.

[1]Kiwi Browser also offers full extension support

[2] Yandex makes you jump through hoops to install some extensions by refusing to install them as 'incompatible'. However by enabling Developer Mode and using 'Load Unpacked' you can usually get around this. I run Yandex browser on Android with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, ViolentMonkey, Windscribe VPN and I Don't Care ABout Cookies.

BTW --to pre-empt the tediously predictable:

responses

If I didn't use Yandex browser on Android, Kiwi browser would be my second choice. On paper, it offers the same must-have features as Yandex; text-reflow and full extension support. But, in practice, I find it pretty clunky and glitchy.

And, the reason I brought up the subject of Firefox mobile, in the discussion of Firefox's demise is that:

1. For quite a while now, more people have been browsing the web on mobile than on desktop. So having a decent mobile version of your browser is paramount

2: Many people [myself included] enjoy the convenience of being able to 'pick up where we left off' when switching between using browsers on our laptops / desktops /mobile devices. So finding one browser that we can use [and sync] across all devices is preferred.

I still have Firefox on my laptops & desktops. But, these days, I rarely ever fire it up, as I know anything I do on there will be lost to me when I switch to one of my mobile devices.
First synthetic embryo: why this is more important than you think
> Much of the western world [...] // I ... so rarely these days that ... reverted back to year 6 level

Don't blame it on the "West". I have rights to blame my rage on the "west". There are no rights to blame what you are not forced to (in this case, e.g. that you abandoned doing math and solving through state-of-the-art "wits hand stick and surface").

Nonetheless, we were talking about signatures.

> «Essentials»

With «essentials» of course I meant something that you carry around because you know you may need it owing to the environment - not a absolute personal need (as in "I will take notes"), but a relative contextual need (as in "either I bring mine or I will have to share").

> Yes. Discipline is purposeful pain seeking. Procrastination is pain avoidance.

? I'm not sure I can ever agree to that. Discipline is more about having commitment to a thing.

It's not about grasping nettles each day until you develop a callus, it's about doing something you have some interest in some way until you get better at it.

No professional sports player ends up professional in the field because they hate sports. No professional musician ends up that good and trained because they hate music. No scientist ends up good at their job because they hate it.

It's not about seeking pain, if you've convinced yourself it is you will likely burn out as you're not following something you actually enjoy or have an interest in. You may have found disciplin in that, but frankly it will just be 'disciplin to embrase pain' which may be another skill in and of itself.

Don't get me wrong, loving science doesn't prepare you for the hours you will spend getting your head around the maths that underpin it. No love of sports will prepare you for waking up with your muscles exhausted. No love of music will prepare you for freaking out when you can't get that the right notes or timing on a piece after days of effort.
These are not the things you're developing a disciplin in. And imo is dangerous to mistake the fact that tou are. You're developing a disciplin in the topics you enjoy and discovering the real world (unfortunately) isn't all about disney musicals. (Which if you assume it is, sorry buddy, you're not going to be randomly selected to join NASA to go to the moon tomorrow, you're not a trained test pilot/astronaught)

You would be surprised how much Popper's work is falsified. I get what you mean but it only stays as a romantic goal and the reality is much more messed up. The title says given the current understanding of fhe Black Hole dynamics, if we plug in the numbers to the model the resulting dynamics can be shown to be stable whichnis exactly what the result is set out to do. Hence no popperian borders have been crossed.
The interesting part to me is, replacements for 3D Touch aren't that much more discoverable: you'll need to be randomly long pressing icons, buttons, sometimes specific areas in apps to discover they have additional menus.

Getting rid of 3DTouch feels to me more like a hardware cost reduction (+ harmonizing the system with the iPad) than anything.

Documenting software architecture with arc42
arc42 is a practical, pragmatic way to communicate and document software architectures. Here's a brief introduction.
What's the fundamental rule to get users to switch products or services? Answer: 10x.

When a competitor's results are 10 times better than Google's - not a little better, or sometimes better, or better if you add a special character to your search, or subjectively better based on your personal preference, but an actual order of magnitude better - then and only then will Google even begin to start worrying about its dominant position in search.

"But Russ," I can hear you say, "How can a search result be 10x better? That's a straw man. What does it even mean to be 'better'? Faster? More accurate? More contextual? More personal? More predictive? Less spam? More niche sites? Less niche sites? More photos? More videos? More news? Less photos? Less videos? Less news? More languages? Less languages? More international? More local? More convenient? More customizable? How can you even measure something like that?"

Exactly.

> This is true for any activity, from physical fitness to academic pursuits.

I don't think it's true for all activities. The author is a writer. I don't think you can grind story building or maybe you can but I doubt you will get anything actually good or creative out of it. Do you know of any painters that grind painting like you can grind exercise?

All this advice about discipline is good for stuff like keeping your house clean, going to the gym, sucking it up and doing your tasks that suck at big corp or any other task that sucks because it's boring or it physically hurts. It's boring because you already kind of know what needs to be done so there is no novelty to it, it doesn't need your creative input and if you are a creative person that sucks.

I care more about being satisfied with my life, getting pleasure out of it. That to me is being successful. I don't need a vacation home and a yacht or private jet so why would I grind and toil for extra money?

If you believe that it's important for free software to use free software infrastructure (and you should[0]), then there is no choice but to do so. Infrastructure like GitHub is primarily a function of network effects and the only way to overcome them is to cast your lot appropriately. A maintainer who "doesn't care" if their infrastructure is proprietary is not doing a good job.

[0]: https://drewdevault.com/2022/03/29/free-software-free-infras...

Note that GitLab is not really the answer to this problem. It's open core, subservient to its investors, and pulls a lot of stupid shit like this. If you want the GitHub-style workflow and UI, go with Codeberg or another Gitea instance.
I'm curious, have you benchmarked both of these and seen if there's no real world difference? I've had major performance differences between clouds on what is supposedly similar hardware. If AWS is faster in nothing then why they're so expensive would be a very good question indeed.

My initial guess would be AWS is relying on its advantage that users who are currently using AWS heavily are unlikely to switch clouds if they suddenly have to go from VM's to dedicated servers, and thus they can profit off such capture. e.g. 7x cost is probably fine when you consider what the cost might be to employ people for a cloud migration.
Not OP, but:

Many of these bots are exceptionally simple - zero tailoring, just scriptkiddie copy/past/run stuff.

They could simply iterate through a list of websites inputted by the user. Said list could be some curated list you find on blackhat forums, which is just a collection of websites with traffic over a certain threshold. Doesn't say anything about the content or what type of website, just the URL.

Then it does a simple operation to map the website - as well as checking for input forms. If an input form is detected, it does a POST operation. If there's an error, timeout, or whatever, it simply moves to the next one.

This of course sucks if you try to run a search engine - because even the simplest of bots will succeed when your website is literally just one website, with the text/input field right there in the front, and with no captcha or similar to dissuade legit users.
