I wrote a keyboard-driven drawing program that IIRC wound up being self-replicating, appending a string of DRAW commands to itself so each saved drawing could rebuild itself and continue drawing.

I also remember how impressed I was when I first saw a program bouncing 3d shapes around the screen instead of my 2d lines.

T'was a great essay, but... same "hypocrisy."

Most of Marc's investments went into crypto/fintech, social media and such. He dabbles in some hard, physical, even socially useful investment... but it's a 1/50 ratio.

The same is true of Peter Thiel. He talks an incredibly big game about atoms & bits or the power of entrepreneurship while doing the opposite.

It depends on what the 27C measures. It's dry bulb temperature in desert with a breeze, it might even be a bit chilly.

The 27C headline figure would make more sense if it was something not commonly quoted, the web bulb temperature:

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Psychrometric-chart-Givo...

Yes, outdoors, with high humidity, and 27C can become uncomfortable. But keep indoors away from direct or indirect infra red radiation (hot surfaces in sunlight like external walls and roofs can radiate a lot of IR into windows and the like, sunlight streaming into a window can add 1KW heating per square meter of window), in humidity low enough so you don't sweat, and add a fan then as you can see from that graph (area 12) it can be pleasant up to 30C. But remove the fan, raise the humidity, and even 25C can become downright unpleasant.

Setting the air-conditioning to 27C should be comfortable in the right clothes. Provided it is significantly hotter outside, the air conditioning won't just drop the temperature to 27C, it will drop the humidity as well. Keep the air moving and your body will do the rest.
Wait does this mean there is a new player in town? Anybody knows who that is? Why else would Google improve search?
>As your system gets bigger, and your teams get bigger, the value of a typed schema has a multiplicative effect on both reliability and productivity.

I often see this in arguments using in TypeScript vs plain JS debate. Is this really true in practice? Be good to get some more examples on this.
It could, but Word didn't want you to write offensively for quite some time now. I remember being a teenager and just poking at the Word 97, and it was promptly telling me that "you shouldn't write like that" or something similar.
Why do they refuse to give you a manual? Why are there no instructions. Drives me crazy.

Irrelevant. Think of it this way, Let's Encrypt could be emailing a dead person and you can't tell them to fuck off.
A not-so-nice thing about GDB is that if you order it to disassemble a program with slightly unusual/wrong ELF headers, it (the GDB, not the program) can segfault which is quite an unreasonable thing for a debugger to do IMHO.
Hmm what do you mean by could? It’s not possible anymore? So far it seems to be still there.
So iOS is obviously not spying on its owner in ways that matter. If OP ordered from DD, Apple got that transaction and iOS started suggesting DD to OP across devices, that would be insidious enough to stop me from using Apple tech. Dumb location-based triggers are nothing, though I don't have them on because I need fewer distractions.

What feels as spying to me is, for example, seeing a specific medical care ad on YouTube after I talked to a friend about a health issue using a completely unrelated chat app or even IRL. There are clearly a lot of moving parts, a bunch of data stored outside of my device, and if it's not already tied to my identity it's likely de-anonymizable.
> That's basically the crux of the problem. The more exactness you're demanding the fewer results you will receive. The fewer results that are available reduce the perceived utility of the search engine, Google in this case.

Isn't the use of quotes an explicit request from the user to have fewer results and more exactness ?

If you do a default search, the question of 'lik dis' being included or not is pertinent. Putting quotes puts you straight into the "don't show me variations" camp.
Could this be addressed by an ensemble of GPT-3s fine tuned with different data?
This is true although Google is slowly getting more of that market. There are various very large companies that are switching.
I had a feeling this was gonna be about 3D Touch just from seeing the title.

It was definitely one of my favorite features, and Force Touch isn't a drop-in replacement.

With 3D Touch anywhere on the keyboard, you could apply pressure to start moving the caret (text cursor) around, but what was even more useful was being able to apply a little bit more pressure to start selecting text with incredible precision.

With Force Touch, you can long press on the space bar till you get haptic feedback, then you can move the caret around freely. However, if you want to select text, you need to use a second finger on the keyboard after you start moving the caret around, but honestly it's an absolute mess to use; try it out, I can guarantee you won't be able to select what you were planning on.

However, as much as I miss it every time I fail to accurately select text on iOS, I don't mourn its loss. Force Touch is adequate. It's just not a replacement, and seems a shame it was probably removed to reduce costs and hardware complexity, all at the cost of regression.
I had a customer once that wanted a 'find' feature instead of a 'search' feature. Which was not a bad idea, it makes sense, you want to find something not just search for it. However, they also insisted the 'find' button would fall and bounce a few times after you click it. You win some, you lose some ;)

how would you implement that in the face of multiple threads? you can't use TLS as it will have initialize your stack on first access of your malloc_stack in a given thread, which may or may not be safe to use in real-time-ish-contexts (I think it's definitely not on Windows, not sure on Linux)
Learning can come from unexpected directions. With my base of GWBasic, QBasic and Turbo Pascal I tried and failed learning C more than once. (Admittedly, most attempts where trying to learn C and win32 API at the same time, that might have been a bit much at once - particularly using the exotic GCC ports of the day). Then I spent a year or two diving into POV-ray SDL, with its heavily C-preprocessor inspired syntax. After that, C came surprisingly easy.
It is interesting to see how different the responses in the Quora thread are to those in this thread.
I’ve been experiencing something similar recently, and for a while even thought it was just me getting worse at typing on such a small keyboard.

However, the points you make are absolutely right, and in addition it has recently developed the annoying trait of sometimes choosing to replace previous words that I have specifically typed and selected.
Thanks! Let me know what you think :)
There's several paid search startups to choose from. I'd rather do that than willingly part with my money for Google.
You don't need to keep a connection open assuming this is HTTP. Just send another request.

You're sending two requests either way, it doesn't matter that you're waiting 3s because you can just do it in parallel.
Yeah on Android interfaces there is a common concept of a 'hamburger icon' on screens. It may not be the best UX but at least if a dev doesn't know how to expose a certain feature in the UI they can put it in the menu that expands from the three dots icon

Exciting to see this in the standard. Once this is in all compilers, this will probably have security effects beyond C.

I wonder if newer farmers would farm inside buildings instead of outside.

Seems too risky to plant shit tons, then random (and increasingly common) bad weather fucks everything up. Also, because most people farm outside, when bad weather destroys crops, indoor farmers can hike up the price and make bank.

Well, that's on them. Lots of valuable comments get flagged.

You have a point though. If snobbery and walking in eggshells is what's valued here, why waste my time?
Recently git bisect gained got a new capability that was mysteriously missing before: bisect —first-parent. With that, it became possible to bisect also in repos where all commits on feature branches may not be buildable or passing tests, but commits on the development/main/integration branch does.

A feature I’m still missing is to bisect using a new test. That is, I have discovered a bug in the program that there is no test for, so I author a failing test. Now I want to find out when this failure occurred but I can’t bisect because even the previous commit is green as the test didn’t exist. It’s possible to work around by placing the test outside the repo root and bisecting with a script that “authors” the test (e.g copies the file) at each step, but it’s cumbersome and feels like something that could be possible to add to the bisect command, e.g an option to merge a commit (the new test) before testing each step of the bisect.
I was sure it was going to be about it as well! 3D touch was a really cool feature. I also find now that it’s a lot easier to activate the flashlight or camera on the Lock Screen since they are not ‘buttons’ any more
For what reason is restricting yourself to whole numbers advantageous?
>> Klunder’s innovation meant that instead of having to recalculate (recalc) every cell every time a cell changed, Odyssey only recalculated the affected cells.

I don't believe programmers were that bad in 1985 to recalculate entire sheet if one number changed. We had LISP and Prolog and a lot of other smart stuff by that time.

Yes, but medical stuff is a sensitive context too. And financial, as well. Plus ethnicity. And age. As well as anything could be indicative of the aforementioned topics, such as vehicle makes & models, ecommerce products, tea vs coffee preference, accounting, and so on.

Oh, wouldn't you know it... Turns out that almost all code doing something important might be able to be interpreted as sensitive.
Or maybe they realize people are starting to leave for DuckDuckGo etc. because Google no longer has better results.
You wouldn’t hear about it at all because of NDAs. And people wouldn’t be “leaving in droves”, because they are already used to it.

The reason for asking was that I expect she knows you best, and she might give the most direct and tangible advice on what to improve.

I'd work on these aspects first, then move on to some suggestions in this thread.

Something that has worked for me is to keep a list of mistakes I made in the past, or improvements suggested to me. I use it as a form of checklist to go through before sending off a new document, to at least avoid mistakes I've made in the past.

Yes, and it is the exact same codec as the $0.99. Have been using this for decades/long long time. Works great.
For what I understood the search results are the same, just the display of the results that is changing by highlighting the quoted terms.

I thought "improving search results" meaning that results itself were more relevant, not only the display.
That makes two of us!

I'm reworking the marketing and landing page, and I'm working on different stabs.

There are two things to consider.

First, I built a reactive document engine. Imagine Excel except instead of many very large grids, I have tables, objects, and single variables. Formulas can be attached any aspect to compute things reactivly,

Second, I put that document within a NoSQL style platform such that spreadsheets are now serverless.

In a way, it's like a headless Excel 365. Mutations of the documents happen by sending messages to the documents (and now HTTP puts).

When you read the document, you download a privacy checked version and filtered versioned (via a gossip'd view state).

My new marketing copy is going to start with "Unlock multiplayer super powers" - "Whether building a collaborative applicication or competitive game, the Adama platform will connect your people to global state and logic using a low latency edge network"
That's true. NFTs seem also failed the test because the speculated price increase is not "derived from the efforts of others". I think that is one of the reasons SEC considers Bitcoin to be a commodity (which probably falls in the jurisdiction of CFTC) but not a security.

Could be the site was configured to use IE6 NTLM authentication, which other browsers don’t support. Could be to maintain an audit trail of who accessed what, eg for SOX compliance reasons. It was / is not uncommon for big corporations with an SOE / golden image with Windows vXX and IE vXX to do this. Not saying this to defend his / her dickhead behaviour, though.

It’s very different (and extremely lazy) for a public web site.
I did give it a try, the whole Jocko Willink "wake up at 4:30 in the morning" shpiel. It works at first, but it's not sustainable. Someone or something is going to keep me awake significantly beyond 9 PM and I'd need to spend weeks running a "waking time" deficit pulling back the sleep schedule, so for my purposes it's simply an antipattern.

Trust and gratitude are like a backdoor to acting as if I had discipline. I find it's easier to cultivate them being theist, but the approach should not be utterly anathema to anyone who disbelieves the "black pill" ideology. The people who do believe that spin what may well be real disadvantages into a convenient license to do basically nothing about anything important.

That is not that they're arguing at all, they are arguing that those who are locked out of the system by the government or banks or corporations will be starved by a cashless system.
They would either be locked out by not having a bank account or device to participate in the system with, or by having their accounts suspended.

I use Bing, DDG, and Kagi. I also keep tagged bookmarks with Pinboard which I rely on much more than search.

Even if people aren't finding good alternatives, they might be searching less. Subconsciously, searching ends up feeling futile. The less tech savvy tend to just let one of their algorithms "find" things on its own terms (TikTok, YouTube for short entertainment, Spotify for music , Netflix for shows, Instagram for shopping)

TLDR a true competitor is not needed to see a lack of search volume. To some degree Google search is entertainment and (was once) useful for discovery. Now it can be substituted with other ways of discovering things.

I also find New York City to be extremely depressing, and radically subpar urbanistically compared with Berlin, where I currently live. You can take an S-Bahn in 30 minutes or so to S-Bahn Schlachtensee and swim clean, chill and easily accessible lake - a journey to the water in New York will take much much longer, involve more walking, and involve dirtier water.

It is easy to find scapegoats for the poor urbanism of the United States, but very difficult to think of a solution without a radical change in the nature of governance.

From what ive read in the past those patterns can also be cause by just generally poor growing conditions. Which can be cause any number of things like soil composition, water and soil pH, too much shade, weed or pest infestations, lack of water at the right times, etc. All things that today are easily fixed by a quick trip to the store to buy pH up or down, fertilizer, pesticide, or a hose.

Ive seen a similar pattern before in a watermelon before too, and it was in a small home grown watermelon, the only one of many but all from the same seed pack. Although I don't remember the specific growing conditions to say what could have been the cause, it did certainly seem under developed compared to its peers. It got picked because it was obviously not growing any more and would have been at risk of rotting in the dirt if we just let it sit there forever doing nothing for another month.
A bit of a rant. By January 2022 I hadn't used anything but Apple Pay for three years.

But then my home country starts a war (which is terrible), and since the war was not approved by countries controlling the cashless technologies, immediately all my cards stop working, I am not allowed to get a new one anywhere in the world, my foreign currency bank accounts and retirement savings on brokerage accounts get frozen indefinitely.

Make sure you keep enough cash and cryptos for a rainy day.
I'm sorry but that behaviour is very, very flaky in Duckduckgo and breaks for me regularly.

Filtering retailers out of search results in Duckduckgo can be very difficult because of it.

An trivial example that springs to mind recently was trying to search for information on the manufacturer of Hycosan Extra eye drops.

The results are swamped by ecommerce sites with no actual information on them. Adding terms like "-pharmacist" or "-retailer" actually boosts sites with pharmacist in their URL to the top of the results.

I sometimes have the same issue searching for programming topics where the results are swamped by Microsoft related tech. That would be fine if that's what I was searching for but when it's not it's a real pain in the arse. Using "-microsoft" or some other exclusion just boosts the incorrect results from Microsoft's own site even further.

Sometimes Duckduckgo fix this behaviour but it seems to break randomly for me.

This idea that surveillance and centralization[0] are mainly dangerous in a dictatorship is quite harmful, and I've heard shallow dismissals based on this, along the lines of "we would have bigger problems then". To be fair, these arguments were originally from well-meaning advocacy, and these tendencies would make a classic coup d'etat easier, when you want to take full control of key places and paralyze any opposition.

But the main consequences of central control are universal to any political system. Law enforcement and organizations in general are corrupt everywhere to varying degrees. You're probably more likely to be harassed because some random employee doesn't like you (or "likes" you too much), for a random reason, and not because of some large political intrigue. Consider this in a system with no recourse and accountability, and where you cannot know that you are targeted or why (see getting explanations for bans from banks or internet corporations).

For example, currently payment processors seem to have a reputation for being pro-consumer. I'd be interested in how this persists long term in a truly cashless society.

I am employed, but I went back to university (while working) so I’m technically a student.

I’m glad I did that because after one year or cacm and xrds, I don’t really aee the point of it.

80% of the cacm issues are either opinions, shallow essays, marketing or self-congratulatory celebrations. The remaining 20% is advertising.

Improbable's grpc-web [1] works pretty well. I have been using it along with their new websocket transport for about two months and as an RPC layer its great.

However I do miss being able to inspect the traffic in devtools, and the TS sdk is still not ESM friendly and requires jumping through hoops to get working with vite.

So we ended up bundling it separately through esbuild (along with other google protobuf deps etc.) to a large single file ESM module that other projects can easily consume.

Buf seems to be a solution that handles all of this better. Very excited to try this out.

Depending what you mean, but simple compilers are very straightforward. The output might make you want to cry, but they're still compilers. There's less magic than you think. There are also lots of books out there about writing them.

Correction: there is no magic in compilers. Like Elixa, when you understand them they become totally mundane.

3D Touch was a lovely feature but to be honest I’ve adapted to its replacements to the point where I hadn’t thought about it for months until reading this. I imagine the amount of engineering complexity on the hardware side for such a relatively niche feature just didn’t make sense, also the fact that it seemingly couldn’t scale to iPad sized screens. A shame, but probably a sensible move.
AWS does not go to this category. You are literally paying for them to handle these matters.
