DDG works great if you search for `happy synonyms`. It even has an equivalent list of synonyms embedded in the results page.

Actually even with "what is another word for happy", the first result is a wordhippo synonyms page.

Though I agree that question based queries are probably more popular these days, and DDG isn't handling them as well. I imagine this doesn't bother the tech / privacy crowd too much.
I think any search engine with smallish market share has an interesting advantage that few people are going to do search engine optimization targeting minor search engines. So, if one uses a different ranking algorithm, even if it isn't technically better in any sense, it's still an advantage in that it's using signals that people aren't deliberately trying to subvert.

At least for me google search results have degraded drastically over the past years, especially over maybe the last. I haven't used it more than a few times in the past few months. I find brave search to have the original google quality, allowing me to find things right away. Maybe it's because google is adapting towards natural language queries, and brave is still "old school", and I haven't adapted, I don't know...

Italy has 1000km of high-speed rail and California has none, so despite their reputation for dysfunction I can still look favorably upon a country that seems to at least sometimes work.
Guy at work used to put his hand over people's head to see if they were solving a problem or just staring at code. He was always able to tell. I prefer a kilo of cashews to a bottle of olive oil, but you can totally train your metabolism to utilize the fat. Some antioxidants from peppers or leaves into the mix and my brain doesn't get tired until its time to do some dreaming to unclog the stuck bad ideas.
Thoughts on Functional Programming just had a short episode about Smalltalk. The thesis was that its ratio of functionality to small size was due to the willingness to repeatedly rewrite it in pursuit of improvement.

> The censorship resistant claim assumes there's at least 1 node on the network willing to host your content.

That’s a weak claim then. I wouldn’t call that censorship resistant at all. That’s no better than China imo. Wouldn’t be surprised- if this got popular- for people to publish blacklists you can subscribe to.

Re the pricing mechanism, if the project fails/people abandon it (because the arweave economy crashes for whatever reason) what happens to the data? Paying out an endowment over time to fund the storage only works if you have people who put value in the tokens. Which could no longer exist.
Mate, I'm going to pay $1000 and get a bunch of Filipinos in a LAN centre using that SaaS company that routes your requests through other people's VPN software to click a bunch of thumbs up. Watch as my cialis video tops your search for EC2 instances.

Me too, I could in some days code for an entire day and feel tired but content. Listening in on a meeting for 1.5 hours cooks me as well, especially when I am expected to briefly participate and I can’t take my attention away from it. I love audiobooks and podcasts but there’s something about meetings that makes it feel exhausting.

Not neccesarily actively dating but stats show women are only interested in top 10-20% tier of men for casual dating. Casual dating is also taking longer now with marriage becoming more rare. In other words, women change partners more and are content with not having a partner for months at a time between attractive partners.

Women are attracted to similar traits much more than men (who are atteacted to like 80% top tier women) which means the too tier men do date more women more constantly than top tier women. The result is, only the very lowest tier of women have trouble finding a partner for casual relationships while only top tier men can say the same.

It really boils down to what is considered attractive by men and women. There are many porn sites and communities dedicated for appreciating large women for example while with women, it might be a tolerable feature it is rare to find women fetishizing that (just an example, pick any other category such as height, age,etc... )

Just to be clear, I see nothing wrong with either men or women wanting and appreciating any traits they value in partners. No one is owed affection from strangers.

Does anyone use Google Earth Engine?
I work with satellite imagery, and within the satellite / geospatial world I hear a lot about Google Earth Engine as a tool for imagery data processing (especially in academia). Curious how popular GEE is more generally though - does anyone use it or have examples of how it gets used outside of academia?

Thanks for sharing!
There are workloads that will saturate a redis instance's CPU: using it as an LRU cache, eventually you will hit the configured memory limits and adding new keys will require finding old keys to delete. Eventually it may also require redis to do memory defragmentation which can be fairly intensive.

I think the dead weight is a given, in either circumstance. It's not about motivating them, that's a sunk cost.

It's more about making the 90% of folks that aren't dead weight not suffer under the burden of the stuff OP mentions that overtakes day to day life as organizations get bigger. That's the issue.
It's interesting that they started that way (as a DARPA challenge) and we'll probably end up having some sort of racing league for them eventually

For example, they may show a copy of stack overflow because it has more ads - for many users they will still click through and deem the copy site sufficient.

Same thing with other SEO sites that blatantly copy other websites
>"Total Internet Users Worldwide" *numbers are estimates.

According to the world map infograph in the article there are 4.5 million more people using the internet in Australia than there are people in Australia...?

So I'd say the estimates aren't great, or they're likely estimating number of internet connections rather than the people using them.
It's just a funny name to me. Zero ohm and resistor are mutually exclusive.

I disagree; Google isn't even trying - after all, Pinterest is still polluting image searches despite not even trying to do anything malicious.

However even if we assume that detecting spam content is hard, detecting the funding of said content is much easier - most of this content is there to get you to buy something or look at ads, and they use analytics tools to track conversion.

Use the presence of ads, analytics, affiliate links and other marketing tools as a proxy for "spam" and downrank them, or offer the user a "non-commercial" option like Kagi does.

Now you move the problem from old-school SEO "make my content rank higher" to "conceal my ads/analytics/etc from the search crawler so I don't get downranked". That is a very effective strategy because advertising has to be served via third-party code to protect against ad-fraud, but third-party scripts are trivially detectable.

Now the spammers and their partners have a problem - the only way to fool the crawler is to self-host the ads, but doing that would expose the advertisers to ad fraud. You're pitting the spammers against each other in a game where the only winning move is not to play and the extra overhead will make the spam less profitable (or not profitable at all).
I'm pretty sure Google uses shared keychain access.

Since iPhone OS 3.0 it has been possible to share data between a family of applications. This can provide a better user experience if you follow the common path of free/premium applications or if you have a set of related applications that need to share some common account settings.

It's unlikely for sleep to only do one thing. At a minimum it reduces caloric expenditures and accumulation of damage or risk through activity. It also allows time to heal injuries without the need for inflammation to immobilize the area.

Really lack of movement is probably useful and harmful for all kinds of things. REM sleep probably has some brain benefits but moving the eyes may relate to circulating fluid within the eye etc etc.
You could have a group of humans vote on whether sites can be included in the whitelist and a main criteria is that sites nexus to an actual human involvement. Could that work?
No. That is not how it works.

That’s a one box / instant answers query. A DDG search for “happy synonym” (no quotes) provides synonyms and antonyms.

The google result shows more antonyms than the DDG one, but the DDG result has a click through to rhymes and sounds-like words.

So, it is a draw in my book. I don’t try to ask english language questions to search engines though (and find it uniformly produces worse results than listing keywords, but YMMV).

Based on autocomplete suggestions, it looks like google auto rewrites your query to mine.

Arguably, it would be good to be able to search for pages containing phrases like the one you typed, instead of just ignoring user intent for people that have used search engines before.

I did a couple of 2 minute sets.

One went pretty damn well. The other got polite laughter at best.

Came away with a lot of respect for comedians. For me just coming up with 2 minutes of material was a challenge.
I doubt the parts for mine will ever become unobtainable, at least the parts that make it stop and go, as there's a huge aftermarket. Indeed, I suspect the "smart" stuff I've added will become unrepairable first.

(It's a stereotypical American "land yacht" with some performance mods and a bit of computer monitoring --- not control.)
This comes up over and over again. There is a brand that sells through Wal Mart in the US (Sceptre) which tends to not have smart features. They are not high end sets.

You can also get 'commercial' sets intended for signage that are apparently OK too. Jeff Geerling did a video on an interesting one from Sharp/NEC that takes a smart module, which can be a raspberry pi, here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=-epPf7D8oMk. There are some caveats, but it's something to keep an eye on IMO.

It seems to be true that there are no high end/aspirational sets that don't have smart features. I haven't personally seen any OLEDs, for example (although I am not an authority on this).
Wow, amazing that this is still being developed with a lot of competition for a lot of that time. Curio first was released nearly 20 years ago. Devonthink started in the late 90s. and Tinderbox started in 2002. And each have huge numbers of customers that have stuck with them for decades.

Every time I try g! to bypass SEO or “no relevant results”, the google results are just as bad as the DDG ones. I’ve found myself trying g! more often this year, but it has worked zero times for me in the last > 5 years.
The answer to both is a lot. It’s not just state level but also county, municipal etc levels. Every month there are dozens and dozens of tax rate changes.
I love it. For anyone wondering what the point is... Think of it as a coder's poem. I don't "get" literary poetry, but this, I get.
I'll try to answer your question in earnest. "Why would you want a search engine to provide you results from [websites] that are known liars?" Claiming someone is a liar is almost always a gross oversimplification and a form of propaganda in and of itself. Propaganda is partially defined as selectively presenting facts to influence people, which is exactly what you're telling people to do by shutting out opposing viewpoints.

If you are going to then say that people are too stupid to discern real from fake information, and therefore need the loving hand of Big Tech to tell them how to think, that's a pretty negative take. Asking Google or DDG if something is misinformation is like asking Monsanto if it's safe to drink Roundup.
Probably because they don't have the accountants to cover up and cook the books like the 1%, I don't think it's because of "criminal tendencies" of that income bracket like some would claim.
I was present at the BMUG meeting on Berkeley campus when Andy demonstrated Switcher for the first time. He did no talking, but simply ran up two or three applications... and then the whole screen scrolled sideways and the audience was on its feet cheering! The event was amazing, only perhaps matched by Bill Atkinson's demo of Hypercard. Happy days!

How is string reversal is done with unicodes?
That's not how it works. Hashpower decides the canonical chain, not the rules of the system. Hashpower makes sure that the blockchain can't be rewritten. Hashpower can't change the rules of the system, because those blocks would be invalid and rejected by the network.

There's no consensus needed on which rules to use. Everyone can use whichever rules they want, by using different versions of the software. Different rules define a different currency, like euro or dollar. Using the best currency with the best rules is just a game theoretic focal point. Everyone chooses to use the best version of the software, because they assume that everyone else does so too, even in the absence of communication. There is no "correct, current" software in Bitcoin, because it would be a single point of failure.

There's no objective protection against long-range attacks in PoS, because there's no hashpower to prove the canonical chain. It requires the provider of the "correct, current" software to decide which chain is the right one.
This is probably the reason I was trying to limit my friend count to the very minimal figure (a little over 100), as I wanted to share my story to those who cared to listen to it. Though since Facebook started to deploy Discovery Engine, I have decided to stop using it (Deactivate the main account, leave Messenger available for contacts). I wanted to be more "connected", not having them scattered.

I don't think most people actually get to know like minded individuals on social media. They just flock together on specific topics and don't associate where they disagree. When you meet people in the real world, chances are you are unlike in some ways by default. People just don't express their differences in superficial context. You don't find the differences unless you ask and listen. At least that's been my experience meeting people.

I discuss tearing here: https://james.darpinian.com/blog/latency-techniques#tearing-... and here https://james.darpinian.com/blog/latency-platform-considerat...

Tearing is a pretty bad artifact so I wouldn't say that enabling it is ideal. I'm a stickler for low latency but even I don't think it's worth it in most cases. It's possible to achieve great latency without tearing. The ideal swap mechanism would be VRR when available.

Those GL extensions likely predate modern composition window managers and fail to work when compositing is enabled. As I discuss in the platform specific considerations section, tearing on Windows requires either full screen, or Multiplane Overlay which is not supported by OpenGL.

In a sense, it's interesting that we (social network users) once found the activities of our friends and acquaintances "interesting", but that's largely been subjugated to simply "interesting things are interesting".

Friendster was interesting, myspace was weird, but facebook just became a boring manicured lawn. Eventually it turned to astroturf; fake green to make it look beautiful.

Perhaps snapchat is the evolution of the social network; a closer "social" live snapshot of people we are close to.

Or perhaps its something else.
Is self publishing a more viable option now?
I've seen many turnarounds. I've seen others that just don't understand what's expected and will never turn around. I've seen folks sit on a team they hate for 3+ year cause they love the people but hated the work. I found that one a new team and they're very productive again, but they would have stayed unhappy and unproductive for years without intervention.
I've always been a bit baffled by the ongoing panic around rare earth magnet shortages when induction motors have always been there as an only-slightly-worse alternative, waiting in the wings.

Like, if the economics shift enough, many major players in the space could change their designs within 5-10 years, couldn't they?
It is likely due to the most recent period being a partial time span. These articles come out every few months, and the most recent period is always low.

As for the Russia thing, as far as I can tell, they still show Russian propaganda sites (and often as the first result). They just don’t let SEO’ed sock puppet sites drown out all the other results.

I imagine the number of people that switched away because of that is vanishingly small.

Please don't use checkbook hacks for menu. When a lot of work can go into trying to make them accessible, it will be a lot easier and cleaner doing straight JavaScript. As it stands, you're missing a lot of ARIA for these components which isn't accessible and looks awful in TUI browsers with unusable checkbox elements scattered through the hierarchy. Further nitpick is using the `dd-` prefix for the inner dropdown bits; it's confusing because `<dd>` is already an HTML element.

51% attacks can not arbitrarily change the rules nor can they steal funds. They can double spend or prevent finality. Nodes enforce the rules of the network by rejecting blocks they deem invalid.

> There hasn't been much going on in the Linux desktop software world for the past twenty years.

As a daily user of Linux on the desktop I am totally biased -- but can you provide some examples of this? From my (subjective) perspective, Linux desktop software is pretty active.

However, I totally agree with your point about Linux being an afterthought for a lot of desktop apps and made possible only by tooling comparable to Electron.

Some points I could see:

1. I still can't ditch X-11 for work (because of Zoom[1])

2. My point above about desktop Linux support being an afterthought for most desktop apps

However, I feel like on the other side there is a huge desktop application library that is pretty active.
