That's not really how insurance works. Everything gets paid for by someone, it's not magic money. A systemic increase in insurance payouts causes a proportional systemic increase in insurance premiums which are ultimately passed onto the customer.

When I say the leap from 2 to 3 is dodgy, I meant that as a bit of dry understatement. It's insane. But to even get to point 2 you need to first assume point 1, which is that Google is somehow compelled to provide a result count. They aren't. They could simply remove the result count and not say anything about it, then they wouldn't ""need"" to lie about it.
Usually its https nowadays but other than that there's methods a hostile webserver can detect whether the content is piped or not (IIRC I/O speed). It can decide to inject different commands based on whether it is piped or not. So you need to end up writing to a file with redirect or tee. Or by using a hash of the script. We do that with binaries, why not with scripts? If its complex enough, a shell script should be considered source code.
Perhaps try KeePassXC on Desktop + Strongbox on iOS.
For anyone wondering what are these new JS frameworks:

- mithril.js is an actual web framework. I’ve not tried it myself.
- the next comment referenced adamant as being better. There is an MMORPG called RuneScape in which weapons and armour can be smithed of various metals, and treats adamant as 1 tier better than mithril.
- similarly orichalcum is a couple of tiers above mithril.

Gnome Shell on Mobile: An Update
The left hand on a split keyboard has 6 keys in the bottom row on an ISO layout, but only 5 on an ANSI layout as this keyboard has. Then comes the shift key. I am a huge fan of split keyboards, but as I am touch typing, that required the keys being in the correct relative position to each other.

There are tons of great keyboards out there, unfortunately a lot of them only in ANSI layout.
You’re baking in the assumption that goofy hat is 100% correlated with bad content, but I’d say 30% of my YouTube subscriptions do the goofy hat thing (usually just having somewhat baity thumbnails / titles) yet deliver great content.

And honestly? I don’t care. The content is good, and if the hat gets them more viewers then all the better.
If it's an estimate it's not a lie
People expect it because it's the expectation they are told to have. When you see "1 of 200,000,000 results" you think you can scroll through all of them.

If Google would say "1 of over 1000 results" and cut off at page 10 of 100 results with a nice message saying "please refine your search query if you haven't found what you're looking for," nobody here would be complaining.
Classic missing the punto HN side comment (sorry), but as a británico learning Spanish I thought it would be good to try and learn the Spanish keyboard layout. Barra punto is horribly hard to type. I keep having to switch when I want to run something in CWD. I do appreciate the dedicated jamón key though.
Classic HN. Can you really not conceive any benefits? Is your imagination so limited that it does not extend to seeing that other people have different use cases to you? Yes there are clearly drawbacks, but there are obvious benefits.

For me, with three children that take sandwiches to school for lunch, it's all about convenience. I don't need one more minor complication getting them ready each day.

Some well meaning advice: being able to put yourself in other people's position, seeing from their perspective is an invaluable life skill. It is extremely useful in personal and professional settings, and it is very worthwhile to develop.

> Banning spambots

OP was pretty explicit that his job was not banning spambots, but "protecting marginalized users who face a lot of abuse".
You literally said you would keep using passwords. The dichotomy was established by you.
With all due respect, your comments seem to imply a certain level of immaturity and it does not seem like you really know what you are talking about.

It's possible in some cases that you can implement something in JavaScript which is competitive with a systems programming language, thanks to all the incredible optimization work which has gone into JavaScript engines, but the performance ceiling of a language like JS is much much lower than that of system programming languages. For instance, if you are optimizing for memory cache performance C or Rust or Zig are going to have tools which just don't exist in JS. There's a reason that HPC - one of the computing fields where profitability literally depends on speed - is all implemented in C and C++.

And not that it matters but I've got plenty of experience with languages. I've been doing software engineering professionally for over a decade, and I've shipped professional projects in probably a half dozen languages or more including C, Rust, and Javascript. I've also done my fair share of programming in the systems domain, including computer graphics and games. I've also implemented programming languages of my own.

> you can't seem to wrap your mind around the idea that there isn't some niche where Zig is perfect and unassailable or the only alternative is rust.

I never said Zig fits a perfect niche. I said the theory of the language is valid, and it's a worthwhile contribution to the field. Zig, like all other languages, is an experiment. It's actually quite an interesting one with different goals than a lot of the other popular languages out there, and which is very appealing for the systems programming domain. I'm arguing against the idea that Zig is "irresponsible", which is an extreme position.

I keep bringing up rust because of you guys insistence that Rust is a counter-example to the idea that a new systems programming language not necessarily be memory safe. For instance this comment:

> We can't ignore the fact that Rust has shown that memory safety is not incompatible with low-level semantics.

Seems to imply that Rust's existence unto itself is proof that every new systems programming language must be memory safe.

C is the current standards bearer for systems programming. Everyone is trying to invent a "better C". Go and Nim are trying to do it with garbage collection. Rust is trying to do it with the borrow checker. Zim is trying to do it with ruthless simplicity and explicitness.

All of these are experiments, and all of them are valid. 20 years from now we'll know a lot more about what works and what doesn't from each of these experiments, but it's too early to conclude that now.
I've always wondered what the reasoning was, and now, still is they do have to be included tho. Besides "that's how it is"
This technique wouldn't be novel even if it _was_ lensless. Google search "lensfree holography" for plenty of existing literature.
Not directed at your comment. But is calling a person a "crotchety and elitist angry person" necessary to the point being made? Seems a bit ad hominem to me.
I disagree.

A click bait, is a bait, a lure in all instances to get something different what is expected.

A fish wanting the worm gets the hook, a fox wanting the meat, gets the snap trap. The clicker wanting the content promised in the title, gets something different, not what is expected.

> ... wearing a funny hat ...

An instructor still delivers all the details and content as expected with or without the funny hat. Not so for click bait videos.
>I question whether measuring excreted compounds rather than stores is relevant

I would have to figure that chemicals sitting in fat cells that rarely divide are probably not causing cancer. Cancer occurs mostly in epithelial tissue; in my case, the germ cell. Excreted compounds are probably a better measure of actual blood levels. I'm not a nephrologist or anything, though.

>A small prospective study

will almost certainly find nothing, because the rate of early-onset cancer is too low to detect changes in a small population. You probably need >100k participants to have a good chance of finding anything.

>it is unclear what value this information will provide

I mean, that's the billion-dollar question, isn't it? Should probably try to control for obesity first, it's the most obvious candidate (changes since 1990, so not, e.g., smoking), but it certainly wasn't my problem (BMI 21).
How is it misleading? It's an estimate of the total results, it doesn't say it's going to display them
But if your framework of choice is big, you’ll have trouble extending/modifying it and be locked in.

This is false for other search terms. Search for "meaning of life". At the top left of the first result page it says "About 10,620,000,000 results (0.56 seconds)".

Here's a good one:

"starfish buttercup pickle mouse"

Page 1 of 2 says

> About 589,000 results (0.62 seconds)

Page 2 of 2 says

> Page 2 of about 22 results (0.36 seconds)

Oops! Must have been one of those common "multiply by 26,772" errors.

At the bottom of the page, it says "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 22 already displayed." with an option to show all results.

With all results shown, the total result count goes to 59, so only off by 9,983x! But who's counting? Definitely not Google.
Actually, if the number actually meant something I would find it very useful.

If google said there were actually just 1234 results for my search, my attitude towards checking things much further down the list would be quite different than if it said there are 123,456,789 results. With a number like that, I know that "deep searching" is likely to be fruitless, which is paradoxical but so is life.

The problem is that I'm not convinced that the result count actually means what we generally think it does.
As I said, it's for marketing. That's the explanation, but it's not an excuse. They should remove it, nobody is forcing them to keep it. They choose to keep it even though they know it's insanely inaccurate.

> Honestly that's kinda ridiculous. You could build a calculator with a single file and a couple of components. This is not a problem with using React or any other of the modern libs but with that particular programmer.

Yeah I'm trying to figure out how someone could possibly reach this number of files if you're not counting dependencies...

If I make the app with the explicit goal of having as many files as possible I can think of:

~6 config files and dotfiles. Maybe make it TypeScript so we have a tsconfig.json as well and maybe we'll have a README and LICENSE as well for good measure

In our public folder we'll have the index.html, a _redirects, robots.txt, a favicon, logos of different sizes, a manifest just in case, a sitemap because why not. Maybe a dozen files in total?

But for the actual source files? index.tsx and App.tsx (I usually make these two the same file). Maybe we're keeping our jsx and css in different files so let's just double the number of components by 2. I'm struggling to think of why this might have to be more than one component but let's just say it's 2. So 4 files in total. Let's even say there's a custom hook for some reason so that gives us another file.

That's like 7 files for the source code if we really stretch things out. Maybe you're one of those people that likes to have separate files for your routing or maybe you have some Layout.tsx business going on. Still can't imagine it stretching passed 10 files.

I'm up to 28 with a ton of rounding up...
I didn't claim that. We are talking about population level trends, not individual anecdotes. The question is: does light drinking cause people to live shorter or worse lives overall? The answer is: we have no idea, and the answer may be that it has the opposite effect.
> Will we really throw up our hands and finally announce to each other that we are too stupid to solve our problems?

Well, yes. That's what "AI" is about: Create some, very complex, generic model and hope that it can encode the problem at hand well enough. Then do a parameter estimation, e.g., from real-world data. Voila, you got yourself a "model".

When I first came in touch with machine-learning engineers, I was dumbfounded. They talked about models all the time and did so in a very smart manner. But not a single one could connect their "model" to the domain at hand. They didn't even understand the question.
Oracle/Netsuite has an interesting approach to upgrades--they force them on you twice a year.

Upgrade windows aside, it's ok. I imagine that the sweet-spot for Netsuite are businesses that do 5MM to 100MM ARR. Possibly less if there's a heavy need for EDI, volumetric shipping, etc.

No, it will a be a stable currency that people actually use without even thinking about it to make instant money transfers at zero cost.
> Much less since you’re posting semi-anonymously in an Internet forum.

I mean, I don't make it that hard for people to figure out who I am if that's a thing they care to do.

But I think you're right about the larger part - it's hard to trust Corporations. As I said in my case, and what I advise others to do, is rather than trusting a company (big or small), try to find individuals there you can trust (either, early in your time there, or ideally find someone that you already trust that happens to be there).
> but part of me recognises that if your goal is to sell, then you'd be wise to spend time on presenting your content in a way that is at least initially attention grabbing.

The issue is, I think, exactly that everyone must be at least partially a salesman to get ahead. Is this what we want? Is there a way for YouTube to compensate for clickbaity titles and thumbnails? Are they incentivized to do so?

Thinking back at teachers and teaching that I really liked, they aren't always the best salesmen, but they're always very good communicators, and good at speaking. I don't think that the content promoted by today's engagement machines are optimizing for that.
The grid reported peak doesn't include home rooftop or other behind-the-meter solar, that's why the California grid demand peak has shifted later over the last few years, as well as (but not as much as) the net peak that doesn't count the utility scale solar.

You can also choose when you want the peak to occur to some degree, by positioning your panels in both location and direction. Semi-random alignment combined with solar noon happening over a hour for a timezone means the 'peak' is often rounded and flattened, and shifted in the direction of the solar compared with the load.

e.g. if you have a coastal area with demand on the coast and utility solar mostly inland, then you get a different timeshift between load and supply depending on where the coast is positioned in a West-East direction.

I'm not sure what you're trying to argue regarding price, but since renewables are cheaper than even running existing fossil fuel plants, I'm not sure it matters.
I am struggling to understand over what the author has these gripes. There's just not enough reason to call BS over Marissa's article.
Why should I feel a sense of ownership over something everyone, myself included, know I do not own? Really why?

I have a sense of professional responsibility that says do my best at work because I take the money, but that is different.

If I have unallocated and paid for time at work I look for things to fill it with that are valid work and improve my skills, or braindead things to fix like typos in the text or simple documentation updates. Both mean I am earning my pay and oddly enough I get a lot of props for the second and so does the engineering team overall for that work.
That's how it starts... React/Vue/Svelte are too big/bloated for what I want to accomplish...

1000 hours later and 200k lines of code... I just built the next React/Vue/Svelte, now there's even more options to choose from, with same amount of bloat,just different because 'my way' is better than 'their way' - maybe.
But really, as far as any non-Googler is concerned, there's 400 actual results and a random number generator that generated "9,890,000,000" for that search.

It's not a million miles from hotel and flights websites saying "37 people are looking at this page right now!" It's a dark pattern to increase engagement. A pretty innocuous one in Google's case, but it is a little deceptive.
It's a convenience. That doesn't mean slicing it yourself is hard, per se, it means that for some people the convenience is worth it. (And what's annoying for one person can be a hardship for another, e.g. if someone has a disability.)

Personally, I don't like it, since it stales so quickly -- or you have to add a bunch of additives to prevent that. But now that I have a kid, I suddenly understand why sliced cheese and bread could be useful -- my kid isn't strong enough to slice them herself yet, and I'd like her to be able to prepare her own food.
Solution proposed by Google: Force through Manifest v3, coincidentally make blocking YouTube ads impossible
I think VR needs pretty badly to pivot in general, it's an amazing technology that tries to replace phones/computer interfaces where it should be working with them.

I don't want to strap a thing to my face and "be in VR" for a long period of time, navigating menus by pressing giant virtual buttons or pointing lasers at them. I want to, while using google maps on a phone or computer, be able to hold the headset up to my face and look around briefly and then take it back off. Same with data visualizations, 3D models, short-form entertainment, etc.

Standing in VR looking at loading screens is an awful experience. It should already be loaded to what I want to do.

It's hard to imagine Meta making that pivot since they seem to want to have a walled garden like Apple's. But they could at the very least make navigating/loading by a phone app an option. Even track the phone in VR, have a mirrored twin of it (with a kind of blown-up holographic version of it you can more easily read), that you can use in and outside of VR, and instead of their controllers.

IIUC they don't condense the water. They just make the hydrolysis while is vapor in the air. Anyway, all the story about an alternative source of hydrogen in desert areas looks like a solution looking for a problem. I really don't expect that the use of water for hydrolysis will be so high that it will make deserts even drier.
The message is that you cannot verify what you are told, you just get what you're given. And what part you are given is an illusion that there are more results. Just trust Google.... what could go wrong?

Let's not forget, that Eric Schmidt said that more than 1 result is a bug.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeIIpLqsOe4

This touches on the scope and hubris of Google and other companies that mediate reality for us. They think they have 'the truth', they know it and will give it to us, and if we refuse their truth, they will attempt to train us until we get it, in schools, the workplace, online, etc.

It's also why they will become irrelevant. If there is nothing organic about their results because the algo filters thoughtcrime ideas out, people will continue to move away. Thank god.

I personally use presearch and feel happier that the results are more natural. But nothing is perfect.
I enjoyed Kagi too. I think it has a lot of promise fwiw.
Fasting and IF are not always the same thing - personally I find a bigger benefit from occasionally totally fasting (for longer than one day).

I'm a creator too. I'm small on YouTube (3,880 subs; 6.4k views and about 293 hours watched in the last 28 days), but have a (relatively speaking) large Discord with 3,800 members. I have a mailing list of about 1,600. My goal and focus is to sell, but it's to sell a big package around the idea of IT education. I want to sell to people who want the interaction and community, not just the knowledge dump.

And I'm the same. I won't do the over-the-top, hyped up character who uses the latest trends to grab your attention, like some sort of hollowed out clown that has no real joy in the middle.

Instead, I just focus on writing my online courses, mentoring people, and building a community. If you're interested in the same thing, and I can help, reach out :-)

In 20 years el Reg has had several, well incarnations is too strong a word, but let's just say its nature has evolved. I think this is is pretty much the nature of any organization. The Lester Haines era (https://www.theregister.com/2016/06/16/lester_haines_obituar... ) was quite good -- I think his presence must have inspired others to creativity and lunacy in their prose. Orlowski was really really good but you can't do the same thing forever.

FWIW, lately I feel like it's been on an uptick.

Let's compare it to google which had a burst of activity and even inspiration at first and then lost its way after Schmidt stopped being CEO. OK, El Reg isn't one of the largest corporations in the world (well, at least they won't admit it and hide it well) but on this dimension I think it's done better than Google.
