> tackle content that seems to have been primarily created for ranking well in search engines rather than to help or inform people

By my understanding, this should hopefully cause Pinterest pages to disappear from image searches too, but by my experience, they're a big site so Google will have made an exception for them.

And it should likely deal with those StackOverflow 'clone' sites which sometimes rank better than StackOverflow itself.
NATO doesn't allow members quickly. There were joint NATOmissions with Russia, but Putin didn't like that US intervened in Iraq ( in it's sphere of influence).

Since then the relation degraded.

There's an extensive report of military interventions the last 30 years of Russia.

I'd happily sacrifice the speed of plane travel for a slower forms of travel with none of the hassle and discomfort of being stuck at airports while flights are delayed or canceled, or the lack of personal space while in transit, regardless of the need to reduce our ecological footprint. But only so much - taking a week to travel what takes 20 hours now doesn't seem so bad, but a month would be crazy.
A 'war crime' violating which war law, as it were?

I'm just curious whether this is judging the past with modern law or not, from my cursory search, the relevant agreements are the Hague Conventions, and the Second Geneva Convention; none of which seems to have provision for the protection of 'non-military assets such as food' like that, but perhaps I'm missing it, I am just skimming/ctrl-f-ing. (Civilians/non-combatants yes, but not their supplies specifically, if non-violently blockaded, afaict.)

On YouTube, there is an option called "Don't recommend channel". I wonder why Google doesn't have a similar option. Or even better, a "Recommend me this website as the first option" button. It would useful to avoid spammy sites and to benefit the good ones. To avoid gaming the algorithm, Google can't take this data into account to benefit/punish websites on search results. The button has the only purpose to customise the user experience one by one. Over time though, and organically, spammy sites would get less traffic. Eventually, they would be forced to shut down (lack of ad revenue).
It probably doesn't need to be in all cases, and for simple stuff like generic image processing (resizing/rotation), there's probably no "secret sauce" to worry about.

You could maybe technically argue things like denoising algorithms / foreground/background detection might be more secret as there might be competitive advantages there somewhere...
I think it works: https://www.google.com/search?q=site:gu.com

That gives me 1,150,000 hits. A search for "gu.com" on Hacker News gives just one page of results, though.
If you add a length of thin wire from a crafts store, the kind that feels like a stiff thread, and a slightly bigger needle, you can even temporarily reattach backpack straps and securely mend rips in suitcase fabric for the flight home.

Fair enough. I've tried searching for these things but it's very hard to find good resources. So far I've not found a way to do this with similar ease, but from this thread it seems it might be possible after all.

Some concrete examples or resources would be much appreciated.

To be fair to Linux, sleep doesn't work reliably on Windows either. The new Intel sleep states just don't seem to be reliable enough with modern software, to the point of at least one laptop manufacturer recommending customers to not carry a laptop in sleep mode in a backpack.

The HDMI issue is ever present. Intel has lately been dropping the ball significantly with their drivers, but at least it's not Nvidia this time, so that's a change!
Well, I am excited to see the impact of this.

These days there is no shortage of tools that monitor SERP fluctuation, and if this update brings about _significant_ impact it will be talked about everywhere.

1) The cause of all human suffering is desire. The Buddhists have been pointing that out for millennia.

2) Greed is pretty much constant, people have been extremely greedy forever. The cause is the thing that changed to allow that greed to be channelled negatively. We've figured out how to channel greed for positive ends - in the process called a 'modern economy'. Greed is just a fuel, the issue is whether it is burning in an engine or burning uncontrolled.

I think there's a different driving factor that. I've heard of a metric that is how long you spend on a given URL. Not sure how they gather that data, probably only gathered from Chrome users.

Anyway, from what I've heard, that's the reason recipe sites have started posting 4 pages of drivel about the dish before getting to the actual recipe.

I hear that paternalistic argument all the time, and almost always coming from the Western countries, but surely food is closer to one's direct needs compared to a climatic thing that might or might not happen according to our models (which models are changing all the time).

In other words you don't need much modelling to see that more expensive food will hurt the world's poor here and now, the climate change thing is in the indistinct future (and it might happen the way we prevision it, or it may not).

The idea of the vomit draft works for narrative text because it's aimed at human consumers and humans are very adaptable when it comes to accepting input. We can absorb a whole bunch of incoherent, inconsistent content and still find the parts in it which make sense, do useful and interesting things.

An executing program is a lot less forgiving, for obvious and unavoidable reasons.

What TDD brings to the table when you are building a throwaway version is that it helps to identify and deal with the things which are pure implementation errors (failure to handle missing inputs, format problems, regression failures and incompatibilities between different functional requirements). In some cases it can speed up the delivery of a working prototype, or at least reduce the chance that the first action that the first non-developer user of your system does causes the whole application to crash.

Genuine usability failures, performance issues and failure to actually do what the user wanted will not get caught by TDD, but putting automated tests in early means that the use of the prototype as a way of revealing unavoidable bugs is not downgraded by the existence of perfectly avoidable ones. It may also make it easier to iterate on the functionality in the prototype by catching regressions during the changes cycle, although I'll admit that the existence of lots of tests here may well be a double-edged sword. It very much depends on how much the prototype changes during the iterative phase, before the whole thing gets thrown away and rebuilt.

And, when you come to building your non-throw away version, the suite of tests you wrote for your prototype give you a check list of things you want to be testing in the next iteration, even if you can't use the code directly. And it seems likely enough that at least some of your old test code can be repurposed more easily than writing it all from scratch.
> If consumers had to push payment every month or year to continue subscriptions (instead of having it automatically debited), then churn rates would skyrocket and modern SaaS multiples would crash - taking company valuations with it.

Recurring bank transfers are not that hard to setup and would probably be even easier by now if credit cards weren't available. If your argument is that this would give users better oversight of their recurring payments and the ability to cancel ahead of time without restrictions then I fail to see how this is an argument for the current credit card system.
A Year to Learn Japanese: Reflections on five years of progress
What you did is essentially re-create an offline sampler using Python libraries. Professional samplers do pretty much the same - they take pre-recorded notes, choose which note to play depending on the MIDI message length and other user-provided info, then stretch or shorten the note with an algorithm that keeps the pitch. This sounds very good, I have to say, and could be the base for a general purpose library to write music.

I’ve worked with some consultants that were ‘senior’ after 2-3 years of experience. I think there are two reasons for this trend: giving some a senior title can sometimes mean you have to pay them less (paradoxically perhaps) because they feel they are more important now, second consultancy agencies can ask higher rates for ‘seniors’.
> Maybe the ability to influence millions of people is a thing that isn't so great in an unregulated market.

This is actually the underpinnings of the free market and free speech. It's the ability for everyone to influence everyone else. What do you think speech is? It's the ability to say things that may influence others... and we let people think for themselves whether they should get influenced or not. Once we decide to think for others and choose what's best for other's, we'll have become the authoritarians.
Did some searching, looks like pyrolysis can convert waste into biochar in way that eliminates pathogens:

https://www.susana.org/_resources/documents/default/2-1832-2...

>Complete elimination of pathogens from Human Solid Waste (HSW) is a priority of our biochar reactor. By heating an appropriate flow of input material to high temperatures above 450 C for about 15 minutes, the material thoroughly chars, causing a 100% elimination of pathogens.

Doesn't say anything about heavy metals or pharmaceuticals. In particular I don't know whether heat can denature or destroy birth control hormones like ethinylestradiol. If it's suspended in water, it can be removed through a reverse osmosis or activated charcoal filter. Maybe leaching before charring and filtering the runoff would help? Dunno.

When the UK beef farming industry looked into going net zero, they found that the lowest hanging fruit was to stop buying animal feed that was grown on cleared rainforest.

Does anyone who likes beef actually want them to be fed that way? Do the people clearing the rainforests actually want that? Or is it just what will bring them profit in the current system. It's all just a series of poorly applied financial incentives that we are able to change.

I mean, both your PC and your phone will have special DRM-compliant hardware decoders available. Whether Spotify is using those or not is another question, but yes, the CPUs in phones/PCs are equipped to decrypt DRM-secured content.

(one "interesting" case around that was that some OnePlus phones couldn't play netflix in resolutions higher than 480p, because despite the Snapdragon chip supporting the DRM format required for higher resolutions, OnePlus never paid the licence to use it - so their phones couldn't decrypt the video. They did relent later and said they will enable the functionality for users who send in their phones, and it can only be flashed in person at their service centre, not via an OTA update. I always wondered how many people have done that)

"She knows, now, absolutely, hearing the white noise that is London, that Damien's theory of jet lag is correct: that her mortal soul is leagues behind her, being reeled in on some ghostly umbilical down the vanished wake of the plane that brought her here, hundreds of thousands of feet above the Atlantic. Souls can't move that quickly, and are left behind, and must be awaited, upon arrival, like lost luggage."
How did you find/calculate the floor area from Rightmove? In my experience listings _might_ have the area in the floor plan image, so you’d be hoping for floor plans then running OCR to find the area? But I’d expect that to often go wrong or not find anything (missing or duplicate floor plans etc). Would love to know as it’s infuriating that the UK market is based on bedroom count rather than floor area.

But yes, I've had 4 Dell XPSes, all running windows, and all of them have had at least one episode of the laptop cooking itself inside a bag - I pull it out and it's literally burning to the touch, because some stupid event decided to wake it up, despite the lid being shut.

I've seen it more and more during the last few years, from ads around the city I live in to hipsterish magazines. There's something about it that has started bugging me the wrong way, I find it kind of infantilising but at the same time trying to "sell" me something as an adult (an insurance product, a "life is good" vibe because goofy drawings, that sort of thing). Or maybe I'm seeing too much into it.

Later edit: I'm talking about visuals like this one [1], which, looking at it again, I find quite similar in style to the one Google is using (hence my question, there must be a trend or something).

There have been various languages where this was the only mode. Early BASICS, for example, on time sharing systems, and APL. We used to push our BASIC programs to paper tape. And the APL (which was an otherwise extremely great language!) was a disaster. Originally, working in what they called “workspaces” was the only available mode of operation. The workspaces would get all messed up very quickly and you had to pull your code function-by-function into a new one to clean out APL droppings!

While the Futamura Projection is undoubtedly very powerful, it's worth being aware that some of its properties are significantly oversold; in practice, useful partial evaluation has a lot of the same kinds of decisions and trade-offs as optimising compilers and being Jones-Optimal isn't the same as being fast.

As an example, imagine a simple case of a program that outputs N verses of the "bottles of beer on the wall" song. A naive partial evaluator given an N will produce the whole output (potentially multi-gigabyte) string during partial evaluation, even if loading and printing that whole string may be slower than just running the original code.

Look at Pypy and GraalVM for partial evaluation in practice; none of it is free and there's a lot of engineering and tweaking involved, not to mention how it can affect debugging.
So, guilty until proven innocent, but where the standards of innocence are undefined statistical measures that nobody will commit to up front? Sounds mediaeval.

If it were true, why would they write "first actual case of a bug being found"? It would be similar to people calling the First World War the First World War at the time. It doesn't make any sense. But it's a story that people want to be true, so nobody questions it.

I don't know about Gravity Payments but one of the huge money making machine in credit industry is collections. If you can figure out tricks to have people pay off their debt without getting dragged into expensive court, you get a huge portion of the proceeds. Many people would just pay things off right away because they did not notice library fines and things like that. As collection agency, you get huge cut for basically locating a person and sending them $0.25 mail.
