I had this problem due to the massive amount of bookmarks I had, but I found an easy way is to add an unique identifier at the end of the name. For example, for HackerNews I'd add hknws to the end of a bookmark so I only have to write those chars and find it easily.

That said, it has to be really unique since browsers usually search for both title and url of the bookmark. I also have the issue that sometimes I want to search in a specific group of folders, so I'm currently working on an extension to scratch that itch.
Chrome on iOS uses the same browser engine as safari; it's vendor lock in regardless of what you do.

The teacher in that example had 13 years of service and worked in one of the better paying public schools in New Jersey. She said she was paid pretty highly at around $60K (iirc). I do remember there was a kind of pecking order where more entry level teachers would make lesson plans, but the senior teachers still had to help the younger teachers learn how to do it, and sometimes do it themselves when nobody else could (teachers might trade between each other what extra work they needed).

What does does the 'linear' term in 'sRGB linear' mean? sRGB is not a linear encoding. Does this mean that the original value was sRGB encoded but is now linear (can be stamped directly into a vec3 for BRDF work)?
I'd agree with you there, keeping quiet would be a better policy.

However, as it was told to me my friend revealed the automation scripting as a very deliberate FU right at the end of his employment. Not so much burning bridges, but almost taking deliberate steps to douse them in kerosene beforehand.

Seeing he ended up as a principal developer in a reinsurance company, I doubt it did much long term reputational damage.
Did you consider leveraging buildbot (buildbot.net) when writing your infrastructure? It has some features that should be helpful.

I'm currently setting up a ci/cd build infrastructure for myself. While I've been exploring different ways to perform the build/test cycle, I expect it will be beneficial to wrap the whole thing in buildbot in the end.
that's what i meant.

the resolvers (which those apps talk to) are (afaik) generally rfc-conforming and respect ttl, though they may have lower max ttl values, allowing faster refreshes in some cases.

certain bad applications however just don't bother dealing with ttls at all and assume dns is static and never changes.
The opposite view is shortterminism, live for today and don't worry if there will be a future (any future, at least for mankind, not those in particular that he describes), nor take action against anything that may be a threat for our survival..

Digital, posthuman, galactic empire futures may or not happen. There may be serious practical bumps in the road. Digital existence seemed nice in some positive fiction works (like in Greg Egan's Permutation City) until I've read Lena ( https://qntm.org/lena ), and that assuming that it will be possible or desirable at all. The same goes with unseen possibilities that our current stage of development may not see as an idea, even our today's world with everyone connected with internet sharing their lives was something with little or no fiction covering it not so long into the past.

In the other hand, having no future not only erases those weird speculations that may not happens, but also the past, a tree falling in a desert forest doesn't make sound, after mankind is gone things will be as we never existed, all we did never happened.

This is the first time I have ever heard of Medicare being held up as efficient. Medicare is 13% of the US government budget. More federal money goes to Medicare than to the Department of Defense. In contrast, the care that people get from Medicare is substantially worse than what you get from private insurance in the US.
Why do you assume those two things are connected?
Moreover, the chart of 2021 ad revenue shows Facebook at $114B, Apple at $4B. The article text says Facebook worries Apple’s changes could cost them $10B, less than 10% of their 2021 ad revenue and more than double Apple’s total.

The narrative doesn’t match the numbers.

I'm not suggesting reducing the size of the LibGen collection, I'm thinking along the lines of "I have 2TB of disk space spare, and I want to fill it with as much culturally-relevant information as possible".

If the entire collection were availble as a torrent (maybe it already is?), I could select which files I wish to download, and then seed.

Those who have 52TB to spare would of course aim to store everything, but most people don't.

Just as the proposal in the OP would result in the remaining 32.59 TB of data being less well replicated, my approach has the problem that less "popular" files would be poorly replicated, but you could solve that by also selecting some files at random. (e.g. 1.5TB chosen algorithmically, 0.5TB chosen at random).

NHS funding has increased massively under the Conservatives

That is simply not true. The Conservatives came to power in 2010. Here's what the The King's Fund [1] has to say on funding:

"In the decade following the global financial crisis in 2008, the health service faced the most prolonged spending squeeze in its history: between 2009/10 and 2018/19 health spending increased by an average of just 1.5% per year in real terms, compared to a long-term average increase of 3.6 per cent per year. These pressures were not unique to the UK, whose public spending on health care as a share of GDP is above the EU average, though lower than several comparable nations, including Germany, France, Denmark and the Netherlands." (Source: https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/projects/positions/nhs-funding)

[1] The The King's Fund is an independent charitable organisation working to improve health and care in England.
> I wonder why it is that Steam hasn't had any issues remaining such a successful video game platform, while other forms of media have struggled to keep up.

Well, Youtube's ad problem comes from the fact that it is run by the largest internet advertiser. Netflix--video streaming in general--suffers from the fact that there are very few major content producers, and after seeing the monetary success of Netflix, the content producers decided to create their own streaming platforms and deliver their content only via them.

While there have been attempts to build alternative video game platforms than Steam (notably Epic Games Store and Origin), they haven't been able to enforce an exclusivity deal of the kind that showed up in video streaming. I'm not entirely certain why, but it seems to be a mixture of the lack of centralization in developers (so must-have is much less a factor in video games as it is for movies), the need for multi-platform distribution anyways to reach consoles, and the necessary social media integration (you need friend lists to be able to invite friends) making fragmentation more painful for users.
IMHO a process which is lossy should never be described as deduplication.

What would work out fairly well for this use case is to group files by similarity, and compress them with an algorithm which can look at all 'editions' of a text.

This should mean that storing a PDF with a (perhaps badly, perhaps brilliantly) type-edited version next to it would 'weigh' about as much as the original PDF plus a patch.
> Apple is planning to expand its advertising business significantly by placing more ads directly on users' devices directly, Bloomberg reports. The expansion would include bringing ads to more of Apple's own apps on iPhones and iPads, including Apple Maps.

I smile remembering "if you don't pay you're the product" which apple lovers lobbied looking at G users, hinting they payment for extra margins will save them from being ad targeted.

But now:

- Paying won't save you from ads.

- You're paying but you're still the product

- And ultimately Apple also gets huge sums from Google, for selling their users.
Um, where did Germany get "massive government spending"? If you say "the Marshall Plan", look up the MP on wikipedia. Germany did get MP money, but far less than Britain and France did. The latter two did not have a "British Miracle" or "French Miracle".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_time_machine

Here the "classes" are derived from technical skill and knowledge. It might seem bizarre to us here on HN but just knowing about e.g. ublock origin let alone how to install it makes you one of the elite.

I don't really know how to feel about all this. On the one hand, it seems regressive to me to herd folks into silos and milk them (FAANG). On the other hand, people have to take some personal responsibility for their own education and agency, right? Computers aren't really that hard? No one's holding a gun to their heads to make them use FAANG products and services. Certainly, the options to live a more free and open life are there, eh?

The scheme supposes mailto: scheme works (by web browser starting MUA after click to mailto: scheme link). I cannot imagine that is true for majority of people. Perhaps it worked in the past where people used real MUA application, and such MUA is configured as default handled for mailto: in their OS, but today when people mostly use web-based MUA and browser/OS has no idea about it, i would expect it mostly does not work.

This is a very long read to ultimately conclude "who knows, there's probably a strong placebo effect."

Anecdotally, I can say there is a strong placebo effect, but it isn't complete. I think what is missing in all of this is perhaps what role stress hormones have in inducing inflammation in old injury sites.

My wife has chronic back pain due to years of working as a nurse in a hospital, moving patients and such. Some things help, some do not. I have what was once diagnosed as fibromyalgia, and I can say that having lived with it long enough, there are several triggers which are totally unrelated to stress (though stress can play a role too, it isn't necessary).

> We sell you super expensive product, charge everyone 30% tax for anything you buy on it, put health monitoring devices on you (that you pay for), have directly your credit cards in the wallet (including custom one from us) and in the end capture more data that any other ads giant now.

I get what you're saying, but Apple didn't put a health monitoring device on you, or shove a credit card in your wallet. That was your choice, totally voluntary, and as a knowledgeable person you were to some degree aware that your data would be stored and processed as a result. You made a choice to trade privacy for whatever convenience you expected those products to provide you.
apple is in a better position to defend against our (laughably weak) anti-trust enforcement, because the platform is closed, so they'd argue that the ad network is an intertwined part of that one market (mobile computing). google, being an advertising (and surveillance) company first and foremost, has a weaker position wrt the any of their flanking businesses, especially mobile computing, since it's hard to argue that mobile computing is an essential component of the ads business.

i'd vote for anyone who promises (and has a realistic plan) to fund the anti-trust division with 100× their current funding (the IRS too) to crack down on all these distortions in our markets. i have little hope of seeing such a political candidate however.

> that's not what anyone wants

The NHS has been turned into what is effectively a state religion in some quarters. It's untouchable. It can't be criticised. It's immune to meaningful improvement and reform at this point. Yet everyone I know who works for the NHS has a litany of stories about the inefficiency and waste. And it consumes an increasing proportion of the GDP. Eventually, something will have to give.

Its been on an unsustainable path since its inception. It's always been in crisis and needed increasing amounts of cash. Cash that we taxpayers have no choice but to pay up. The NHS isn't optional, it's mandatory.

If we have the option to opt out of paying for the NHS and go private, many will do so. I already have to pay twice over. I pay privately through my employer's plan, and then again for the NHS. I suspect if there is the possibility of opting out and going entirely private, many would do so. At this point it's the only way to ever get a GP appointment for many of us.

The problem with the debate here is that it's always framed in terms of UK vs US funding models, both of which are horribly broken in different ways, and never looks at other European countries or other systems around the world, some of which have systems which work better and provide better health outcomes for less money. If we were to privatise it along French lines, for example, it might be a massive improvement all around. But that debate has never happened.
