I thought we were discussing personal sites. Why does a personal site need analytics?

I'm not sure what "pagerank" means, unless it's SEO specifically for Goo.

SEO in the sense of reasonable page design, comes for free with a builder like Wordpress. Other kinds of SEO are for scammers and the get-rich-quick brigade.

Search is cool; but translate, for a personal site? Is it too much to expect visitors that don't know your language, but want to use your site, to resort to an online translator? You could even link to it.
The problem here is that the “move left to expand left” and “move right to expand right” doesn’t map mentally to the way a cursor works.

With a traditional cursor, it places an anchor wherever you’ve moused down and then drags the selection around that anchor.

Whereas with Haptic Touch selection, there’s no anchor, so you find yourself selecting text you didn’t mean to. I’m sure that once you’ve gotten used to it, it’s a nice feature; but it’s not intuitive if you’re not accustomed to it (which seems to be the majority of folks).

How do you folks think about the fact that sites provide privileged access to Google’s crawler but routinely restrict access/paywall the same content to a normal user? Among chronic offenders are LinkedIn Pinterest, Instagram, various media sites, and etc. are you folks well aware that this is occurring, and are there any plans to discourage or punish that sort of behavior?

> Disciplining myself is in a way like dealing with a child.

Exactly! And while the entire person appears "self-disciplined" from the outside, it does not mean that the inner conversation between the adult and the child amounts to scolding the latter.

But not all (inner) children are born rebellious and maybe for some of them daily scolding does not lead to burnout. Who knows?

lol what ? I'd give Google a lot of credit for a lot of stuff, including all their Linux contribution to the kernel.

But stating "Google made Linux mainstream" ? I can't see how ? I'd wager orgs like Ubuntu had a lot more todo with making "Linux mainstream".

Yes, it's slightly worse now but for a greater cause and the greater cause, IMHO, is the unified interaction model on mobile devices. If not all devices and apps are using it there's no reason to having it.

In the Android world there are tons of exotic stuff, novel ideas and even "standards" that go nowhere unless Apple implements it.

There is a magic in general availability. I think, if all Apple devices had it, it could have been possible to rely on its existence and build the UI with that assumption in mind. With just some devices having it, you need to have few versions of the UI to handle each case.
I did say that. You got pissy because I didn't agree with your over the top hyperbole, then you said a lot of ridiculous nonsense, and now that you're ridiculous nonsense has been called you're trying to retroactively pull back on your claims.

Financial discipline is hard, it's totally understandable why people don't save as much as would be optimal. I also don't save as much as is optimal. It requires good financial discipline to save money when your budget is limited.

But it doesn't require living like a monk or spending every minute of every day pinching pennies to put away $1000 to $3000 or so per year for most Americans, and if you do that you'll be insulated against the kind of minor disasters that happen once a decade or so.

I’m sure you know the motivation of every TikToker. And in the old days, no one tried to promote their website or find viewers? I guess the reason for web rings and why every little page had a view counter had nothing to do with wanting to be seen?

Or maybe your chauvinism make you think that showing of some technical prowess (because HTML with a bit of ecma script was really hard), is for some reason more valuable than dancing, singing, crafts or stupid jokes?

I guess somehow when I was a child my parents thought me something I cannot fully understand now. Nowadays I cannot enjoy entertaining myself if I haven't first finished my "homework" (as an adult, my homework is: work, chores,... the usual stuff).

So, I have this kind of "discipline" not because I enjoy doing "homework" but because I want to fully enjoy my free time without thinking "damn, when I'm done playing video games I have to wash the dishes".

As a kid I could never understood the other kids that on a Friday afternoon were going out to play knowing that they had homework to do in the weekend. I was like "I cannot enjoy playing basketball now knowing that later on or tomorrow I'll have to do the maths homework... so let's first finish the maths homework and then I'll have the entire day/weekend to do whatever the hell I want".

Not sure if this is a good or a bad thing. It's normal to me at my age, though.

I live in Spain. This summer is being absolutely unbearable. We're constantly hovering around 40ºC. You can't open the windows to go to sleep because at 23:00 it's still 29-30º outside. We've been like this since the beginning of July. And I live in Madrid, which isn't even one of the hottest parts of the country.

And that's just now. I can't imagine how it's going to be in the future. It's going to make parts of the country completely unlivable in the summer. Insulating and protecting from extreme heat is far more difficult from extreme cold, at this point the only alternative we really have is AC, which makes things worse due to the energy usage, and there are zones that aren't equipped with it because they don't usually get a lot of heat. Quite a lot of people will die of heat stroke (those vulnerable to hypothermia in the winter are also vulnerable to heat stroke in the summer, it's not like warmer weather will save any lives). The effect on crops, vegetation and wildlife is going to be devastating. The desertification process of Spain will continue even faster.

So yeah, the prospect of 2ºC heating is really, really scary.
Why not just map "don't" to "dont"? I can't really see too many false positives.
if you introduce namespaces and method calls you have to introduce name mangling, to differentiate

namespace foo { void x(); }

and

namespace bar { void x(); }

and then you have to rely on compiler vendors to use the same mangling everywhere otherwise you end up exactly at the C++ position where there are multiple incompatible name mangling schemes, thus C code compiled with e.g. cl.exe would not be able to call a C function compiled with gcc (and FFIs wouldn't be able to either so you loose the "easy language bindings" "feature" of the operating system ABIs)

> anonymous payment services

Could you please expand? In this area, the only ones available I found have a surcharge of ~5..10% (you buy a 100€ card through 105€..110€). Note: I am not certain of the amount, it has been a while since I used one.

And in Europe electronic payments cannot by law be anonymous over 150€.

If you actually want to only do business in cash, you're already going to have a very bad time. 95% of jobs (99.9% of decent paying or professional or large company jobs) won't pay you in cash. The same for any sort of loan or finance (who can you borrow money from without leaving an electronic trail?). What sort of landlord or mortgage company will accept actual cash? Can you pay the tax man with it (probably but good luck).

The truth is, you're already in a cashless society for the vast majority of your income and expenses.
I did the same thing. Ashley invited my dad to a one week holiday in a mountain cabin. Interview with him about his early life, his childhood, as well as his marriage to my mother.

I did the same thing with my grandfather. He grew up in the 1920s and lived through some rough times.

While I am glad that I did it, I feel a little foolish that I did it only pretty much close to the end of our relationship. How different could things have been, had I been getting to know my parents like that while I was still living with them.

With my kids, I am trying to cultivate and openness about my life outside of being the father that will, hopefully, make an interview with me at the end of my life superfluous.

(Another area where this is extremely powerful is marriage. Often, life gets in the way of really getting to know your partner, especially their early life. I certainly hadn’t paid enough attention to that part of my wife when we were dating. So it seems to be often only when there is a deep crisis that one seeks to really understand one’s partner. This is when you read these books about having the important conversations, learning your partners “love language“, or making an effort to put together a “manual“ of how your partner works, i.e. what calms him, angers him, etc..).

In C you can use functions the file doesn't see, and since namespaces changes what symbol an expression refers to depending on what symbols exists in the program it will lead to a lot of strange scenarios. C++ doesn't allow this, and is the main way C++ isn't compatible with C.
> the entire paradigm revolves around knowing the shape of your data in advance.

This is true, but you can improve things significantly by using named ranges.

Using `$PAYMENTS` instead of `Sheet2!$B2:$B$21` for your column data and `$TAX_RATE` instead of `$Sheet4!$A$1` clarifies things quite a lot.

You still will need to know how your data is structured (e.g. this is a column that goes down, this is a fixed variable) but it is way more readable.

Atheists aren't a group. It makes no sense to refer to them as a group, they don't in general meet, communicate with each other, or think that not believing in something is an important attribute of themselves that they recognise in others.

Of course for some of them, they will be more conscious of the fact that some people believe in a God, and that they don't. For instance if they grew up with religion and then left it. But that hardly describes all atheists.

Most atheists just don't believe in God in roughly the same way they don't believe in Russell's tea pot. It's not something that comes up very often.

I totally relate to this. I once had to stay in suburbia with far apart houses (Dallas). Nowhere to go without driving. It was very very lonely (I was single, to boot).

I went on a business trip to NY, and I immediately felt alive. The 'energy' of people even though you don't know any of them, seeing so many faces, late night hustle & bustle - all very invigorating.

Had a flat in London on the Thames. Beautiful new build. Close my balcony doors and I couldn't hear a thing from the outside. Quiet as a church.

I think US construction is just lower quality in comparison, which is a fair complaint. With only access to inferior manpower without the skill and techniques from the UK, you'll likely end up with the noisy apartment and then you're fucked. So I understand the concern.

This topic has been on my mind for a couple years now, and it's interesting how I came to a similar conclusion as the author.

There are a ton of things I really enjoy doing: running, boxing, playing music, writing, drawing... however, I always struggle to get started. It always feels like a chore and I'm baffled as to why. I should be excited about initiating any of those activities, but I'm not! The moment they enter a to-do list, I know they also enter the realm of procrastination and avoidance. It's weird.

As I grow older and more experience, I realize "it's all in the mind". If you have the right mindset towards the activity you want to do, you have 80%+ of the job done.

Using running as an example, I went from running a couple days per week to running every day. Why? Simply put, a mentality shift.
Before, I would think about it as "I should run at least 30 mins, 3 days per week". Now, I think about it as: "Let's move a bit, go to that nice canal by the river". In a nutshell... I moved my mindset from "I must be disciplined" to "let's play", pretty much as the author states.

The comment I replied to suggested that if tourists could find good places they'd become too busy. My reply was that if one spot becomes busy, it means places like that spot are profitable, and people will build more places on the million-kilometres of global coastline.

In the context of the discussion, I don't understand your question. The money comes from the hypothetical tourists who're hypothetically making all the usual spots too busy. What point are you making?

Job Forms - What is ideal audience for them?
How do you use job forms in your hiring needs?
You're overlooking a couple of things: person-to-person transactions, and the disabled/impaired.

Among those who protest the most against a cashless society are interest groups for the elderly and the handicapped. The blind need their money amounts to be tactile, well ... because they need almost everything they interact with to be.

You can't use prepaid cards for person-to-person transactions, but there are various types of smartphone apps. But then you are back to the original problem in the article. And you need to have good eye sight to use those too, so you can't be too old. And a good signal to the nearest tower, which rules out rural areas.

.. and no service disruptions.
Hi, would you know if there are any good explanations on whether Google searches (or in general the search strategy) say, creates a general search result for any given query, which is then tweaked with customizations specific to individuals / locations / languages? I.e. they've "saved" the basic search output in advance so that core doesn't have to be run each time, and only adjust around the edges specific to a user?

Or is that not how it's done, and each search, for a given person, follows the same process?

I've always been curious about that.

I'm a Google engineer way too far organisationally to ever have any say in this.

I wonder if that will ever be worth the hardware cost. Back when I did some coursework on information retrieval, it seemed that you get superlinear savings via reducing the cardinality of tokens. So you'd do stemming, remove all punctuation, words that are too frequent ("do", "be", "and", "or", ...)... Basically remove all grammar. You do the same to your search query and the index. This intuitively reduces your compute by at least an order of magnitude, especially for languages with rich grammar (e.g. stemming nouns in Polish reduces the cardinality of tokens by a factor of 7 and verbs by a factor of 162).

But if I start to believe that, for medical reasons, or any other reason, I really should go to the gym, and I struggle doing it because I feel it's not my environment, how do I start without a bit of self-discipline?
