Sure, I agree there are probably some half-useful middle ground solutions.

There are thousands of different sales tax rates in the US that change multiple times per year.

Each city, county, state and other things like metro transit districts, water districts and school districts can all contribute to the sales tax rate paid by an individual at the point of sale.
> If you're a keyboard user, like me, then all the Windows keystrokes that worked in GNOME 2 still work in Unity, so it's much less jarring than KDE or something.

Actually since you mention it. GNOME 3 and Unity block basic readline keystrokes from working. Alt+Space has been a keystroke in bash since the 1980s, and they fucking override it. Fuck them.

> Learn about this and consider it.

NO. Fuck you. I have my UI and it will work how I want it to. The UI comes to me, I don't change to fit the operating system. That's bullshit. This is ergonomics 101.

They keep changing shit for the sake of change, then fuck them. They don't get to keep their install base, and nobody will bother to learn their bullshit.

No need to say why [particular brand] of search engine can outperform Google. Really, any search engine could outperform Google by doing the following:

1. When I search for "X Y Z", ensure that the resulting documents contain X AND Y AND Z. The plus signs and quotes don't work. No exceptions to this rule, unless the user specifically requests "OR" searches, fuzzy searches, stemming, synonyms, etc. But no one will request those things because those things suck. (Recommending spelling corrections are okay, however. Just don't automatically perform them.)

2. Do not show me what "People also ask". Fire the product manager who is keeping this shit in the results.

3. Do not mix images and video and news with web results. I see the "images" etc links. I know how to click on things.

...

Has anybody had this experience with Google lately: Fighting and fighting to get it to NOT show 800 billion non-matching results, and then finally getting the actual result you want, only to have it be accompanied by the warning, "It looks like there aren't many good results for your search." Bad design award of the year, for that one.

Both Google and DDG already do that, you just format the query correctly. Once you are an expert in a field you will begin to understand how bad reddit is for information.
onMouseMove is going to be called at most like 3000 times a second, assuming a 240hz screen and the signal beinf sent through 12 objects.

You're going to be using up, what, 300 microseconds?

But even then, you're missing the point, because you don't have to use signals to detect the mouse moving if you don't want to.
In mobile Safari 15.6 the page crashes when I open the menu on the right.
Their mobile browser makes search faster. It has a nice autofill email feature to proxy your own with a @duck.com domain, stripping the trackers from them. The !bang feature has been useful for me socially, like in conversations, making search quick enough to be a part of it.

Now if they can pursue some tactful strategies like the article hopes for, they can eject the Microsoft ads that they have been grinding their teeth over.
I dunno, it made sense to me. The simplified thesis (perhaps with my own slight spin on it) is that a huge number of connections never really existed, and what's observed as a devaluation of things with inherent value is really more like a realization that the things in question had little to no real value, and a calculus that does assign them great value (without significantly diluting the word "friend") is flawed.
One of the core cultural values at Zipline is "customer obsession". That means many things. There's the actual business customers of course, but a customer is anyone that depends on your work. The engineering team's customers include the flight operators, for example.
Then you couldn't really use git (or any other kind of VCS) to version your config.

Also, not all config really lends itself to rows in a database (or some other binary registry). For example, commands to run on login. Or really anything where order matters, would be a pain to edit.
I was hoping their partnership with Dish would allow me to instantly spin up a 5G network slice with my VPC over the top.

This is very unlikely, as the regulations are set up to protect the incumbents. Just to sell a new vehicle in the US you have to crash test several copies of the vehicle.
Sometimes your application has multiple instances even on the same machine. Scripting languages like Node or Python don‘t share memory. With Redis they can share state in a high-performance manner.
If it's so automated, why require people to submit tax returns at all? Just calculate everything and send them the breakdown along with the check.
To be perfectly awful, 552K homeless out of 335M people is about 1.6% of the US population.

Even high-functioning and privileged individuals seldom have their shit together 98% of the time. I can't go 5 days without doing something chillingly stupid.

It is frankly astounding that we achieve better than 98% on any homelessness metric. A long forgotten ancestral memory says: there but for the grace of God go I.

Root cause: humans stink individually but we are robust in aggregate.

For me, DDG just needs to add blacklists/whitelists to search results that users can customize and I'll stay. I'm looking at switching away because SEO is so bad.

Love the video explaining how it works.
What I do is probably more similar to you than you realize. I'm not categorically placing all images in ~/Pictures, rather I'm using that directory primarily for pictures that I've taken. Each photo taking session gets its own sub-directory with the ISO 8601 date followed by a description of the event. This is extremely convenient because software I use (like raw image developers) automatically knows to look in ~/Pictures and I can access my files right away.

Likewise, I'm not using ~/Documents just for stuff with an .odt or .pdf extension. Rather, any sort of human-readable text based file goes there. I have some markdown files that have embedded images, and of course the .png or .svg files exist alongside them in the relevant directories.

~/Music is probably the best example of why the default XDG approach makes sense. You can place everything in an Artist/Album hierarchy, and most music software is written to automatically pick up and scan these directories to keep their internal libraries in sync. There's no fuss.

I don't limit myself to just the XDG directories when there's not a close fit; i also have a ~/Projects for various things I've made and ~/Programs for statically built programs that can't be installed, and so on.

Basically, I've found that the XDG approach does a pretty good job of splitting up files by purpose, allowing you to compartmentalize by avoiding having too many directories at the top level of the hierarchy.
Did anyone ever say ALL stars have planets? But anyway, MOST stars probably DO have planets!
And no, 99.9% of planets confirmed by NASA are not orbiting high metallicity stars, that's nonsense. Stars with more than 1.5 times the metallicity of our Sun* host only around 16% of planets discovered and confirmed. At least according to NASA's Exoplanet Archive.

see - https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/TblView/np... - And then under the column headed Stellar Metallicity [dex] put in ">=0.176"

*The average metallicity of the stars in Kepler's Field of View was about the same as our Sun, very slightly lower 90%, so a small percentage of low metallicity stars to begin with.
In the past few years, I've started having this problem with offices where recent graduates handle outside interaction. Instead of bringing affairs to an explicit conclusion, they just stop responding. A few times, I've had to directly contact higher-ups to get official closure to a transaction.

If you are in a position to hire/manage Gen Z employees, please make it part of their job orientation that business etiquette requires explicit closure to interactions.

If this has sufficient range, I could imagine it being a no brainer for a lot of businesses that have to stand up quickly (Resources, Warehousing, Tourism). This would give massive flexibility to stand up a new location. The real question is range, and home much this is affected by your neighbours. I imagine in urban areas range will be much smaller then what would be possible on a mine site for instance.

Combined with a Starlink system, you could deploy a single central point and have sufficient capability to cover an entire campus. While not well supported currently (60 day minimum hire), I could imagine it would be a massive boon to those who setup music festivals and other outdoor events. 150mbps is perfectly fine to run POS transactions and basic coms.

I'm pretty new to it so I don't feel that way. I get some interesting work. Even the duller stuff, I see the value of it. Client wants a CRUD app, they pay for it, I code it, I get paid. Struggle to really see the loser. Even if it's not super exciting I still find it fun to get things working, and I see how it makes things easier for their business. Imagine if they just had to email Excel spreadsheets to one another.

Maybe it's cause I'm still in the growth stage of my career where there is a lot to learn. I also don't approach it with a heroic idea of changing the world. I just want to do a good job at something useful to make my living.
I was just chatting about the “golden years” of Facebook with a friend today. I think it was about 10 years ago. Maybe we’re over-glamorizing the past, but at least the way we recall it:

Around 2012-2014, the newsfeed mostly was just updates from your friends with some ads sprinkled in. Everyone was on Facebook, so if you were hosting a social event, you could just invite everyone on Facebook and they’d hear about it. Birthdays were great because everyone would wish you happy birthday and you would do the same for them. There was a location-based search feature, where you could travel to basically any city and search your friends list to see who was there.

I felt closer to a lot of old friends from growing up than almost any other time, because suddenly everyone was on Facebook and it was super easy to catch up with someone I hadn’t talked to in years.

That’s all vanished these days, sadly. Social events are organized by email again (which is fine but less convenient). I’ve lost touch with old high school friends again because nobody uses Facebook anymore except for a few die hard holdouts.

I really remember thinking “Man, Facebook is just so dominant, I don’t see how they could blow it.”

Turns out, if you keep feeding the growth monster in search of more and more “engagement” (enragement?), eventually the growth monster destroys you.

I know a little bit about Ethernet, having used it since the early 10Base-2 days as well as having done a bit of "hacking" in an effort to decode 1000Base-T.

This article is focused on the QSGMII PHY chip, without which it would be practically impossible to use an oscilloscope for any meaningful troubleshooting.

1000Base-T is the most commonly used Ethernet variant in use today. It uses four balanced differential pairs for signalling. Each pair transmits and receives simultaneously. This works because 1000Base-T is a point-to-point connection and the PHY contains a hybrid that subtracts the voltage being transmitted from what is received. This makes the problem of "tapping" the interface harder because the third party observer sees a jumble of data and cannot easily determine what data is coming from either of the two connected devices. Each pair can send/receive five possible symbols, represented by voltages of +3.5, +2, 0, -2, -3.5 volts. In addition, the PHY "scrambles" the data being sent with a LFSR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-feedback_shift_register) seeded with either a "master" or "slave" value. (The master/slave identity is negotiated between the two peers when they detect each other.) It gets even more complex with hamming codes and an abstraction layer to separate the control/data planes. There's also a complicated DSP for line equalization.

BTW, I do own one of these: https://www.amazon.com/midBit-Technologies-LLC-SharkTapUSB-1... which can make the job very easy, but it was not an available option for my "hacking" application.

I think it's the boredom mixed with the vigilance (limiting this at 1-2 year old). Often they want to be "watched" playing, without you playing. It's super boring and you still need vigilance.

Working out what to do with your life is easy for some who seem born to a particular vocation. However, a pattern you’ll notice is that those people are firstly focused on service to others in a role they’re good at. So, first focus on how your work serves others even if it’s just your team or those you help support from your paychecks, ensure you’re good at it and seek to improve, and you’ll find a degree of fulfillment in it no matter what it is. There’s nothing wrong with seeking out a vocation yourself too, but real meaning always comes from service to the other.
> When I checked the terms of the warranty, it said that it was only covered if it failed on the first or second use out of the box.

According to the warranty page you linked, "first or second use" is not a limitation. The language you quoted, however, does discourage warranty claims on products that have been used for a while. I agree that does not inspire confidence in the longevity of their products.
For this I use Google Hit Hider. It's an amazingly well-built addon. Works on DDG as well.

I've been on ddg for years, have it defaulted in all my browsers/machines, and I can't remember the last time I used !g.

Not sure what you mean about immediate results though... if I search for, say, "10C in F" I get "10 Celsius = 50 Fahrenheit" at the top of the page. And "time in mumbai" gives me "7:37 AM" plus the offset from UTC and the date. Also "weather in chicago".

Same for conversions of lb/kg, mph/kmh, and some other units I just tried, as well as currencies. But either it doesn't do mpg<->L/100km or I'm formatting the search wrong.

It also doesn't answer "hello in french" with an immediate translation like !g does. But I'm ok with missing translations because languages that I want to look up are in wordreference, are easy to make shortcuts for, and generally have better translations and more thorough info.

When I do have to use google directly I sometimes find it _harder_ to get results because it doesn't just show some links and summaries, it seems to want to try to give me "solutions" which aren't always quite what I want. I've been told the results get better the more you use it (ie. the more info you feed to the machine, it learns what you want) but I almost always get what I need on the first attempt searching with ddg and usually within the first few results. If it's not there, my experience has been that I'm not going to find it with !g either. (Usually something to do with really obscure programming problems or error messages.)

Why would you want a search engine to provide you results from websites/companies that are known liars, that you very likely would never know was propaganda etc?
A few interesting tidbits:

Bill Gates: "a really good programmer like you should be able to write at least a thousand lines of code per week".

So the expectation for a really good programmer was around two hundred lines per day, assuming five days of work every week. That is not far away from today, even after almost four decades.

Bill Gates: "If it takes ten weeks, and you get paid four thousand dollars per week, that means you should get paid $40,000 for writing it."

So, around $100 per hour, effectively? Looks like Steve offered $250 per hour (assuming Bill's calculation is not widely off the mark). This was back in 1984. Thirty-eight years later, salaries have not increased by that much!
Had the same thought. This really is the better Reddit for nerds.
Yeah I'm ambivalent about if what they do is good. I do think that what they've done with Star Wars is better than whatever Lucasfilm did with the franchise between 1983 and when they sold.

Should new Star Wars be a big part of what I watch? I enjoy them, but I'm undecided.

MCU just feels like rubbish, but it prints money for reasons I just can't figure out.
Had this same problem, I think it's just the web sites. Every now and then you can find pre-builts with all the features you wanted and just the features you wanted so you may just have to order it through a human being. Case in point I couldn't customize a Camry on the Toyota to have a factory installed alarm system and one day I was browsing their inventory and there was one. Od course someone bought the car and probably sold it to Carmax for a few thousand profit, but the used car market scam going on now with car hoarding and price inflation is another story.
