I go through my bookmarks every five or six years, weeding out the dead links.

Surprisingly, many of them go back to the 20th century, and a few even to 1995, when I was running Mosaic on SCO Unix.

Now that disk space is so cheap I've been archiving many of the old links to local storage. A really nice bookmark function would do that automatically, but most modern browser interfaces seem to be following Chrome's lead and shuffling bookmarks off into a submenu ghetto as everything turns into a kiosk-style UI.
> We dont yet life in the police state where everyone's political opinions need to be hidden in dark networks.

You may not, but many of us actually do. Naturally not every political opinion, and it depends on how you express it, but still.

Why is that a bad reputation? Isn't that part of the point? ... Perhaps you mean unsavory, or immoral, or socially detrimental.

Now that is a significant point in its disfavor, yes.

Maybe not explicitly, but it was definitely mentioned:

Everything developed at Google is intended for transforming protobufs. And how are you going to get some protobufs in the first place? /s
It could be a part of amusement park.

Imagine, now exists parks with miniature World Wonders, and this will be park with 8bit world.
There will be 8bit building, 8bit rooms, 8bit design/environment, 8bit restaurant, and as pearl, collection of real 8bit computers.

And yes, as I know, amusement parks are good strong business, only have issues on pandemic.
It is legal in every home of the US. It is legal in many states' public schools. We were spanked in Houston public schools through the 90s. And it was a lot milder than what my cousins in Calcutta got. Good stuff.
Clients having delayed acks has a very good reason: those ACKs cost data, and clients tend to have much higher download bandwidth than upload bandwidth. Really, clients should probably be delaying acks and nagling packets, while servers should probably be doing neither.
I dunno.. I am not a networking expert by any stretch, but it does seem consistent with Golang's philosophy that devs should have a deep understanding of the various levels of the stack they're working in.

Though TFA does make a fair point that in reality this doesn't happen, and there is slow software abound as a result.
If you skip his body horror films (which admittedly is 70+ percent of his oeuvre), and look at Eastern Promises, Maps of the Stars, A Dangerous Method, or a History of Violence, and you'll likely come away with a different view.

Crash, Dead Ringers, and the Fly, while exceptionally interesting films, and well directed, are definitely difficult for a lot of audiences.
As an aside, a fork of TeXmacs has recently gained a lot of ground, called Mogan (https://mogan.app) which is being developed alongside TeXmacs. Very usefully, they provide a means to test out TeXmacs/Mogan via your browser directly: https://mogan.app/wasm/Mogan.html

I would enourage anyone interested to give this a go.
The book is freely downloadable as a PDF, and the introduction gives a brief answer to that question.

The rest of the book offers a somewhat longer-form answer.

Another reference I'd strongly recommend is the O'Reilly UNIX Power Tools book, which though it turns 30 as of the new year remains one of the best "what are some really useful recipes" books about and for Unix / Linux.

That is freely available here (3rd edition):

That does not follow. I was in the market for an EV and considered a Tesla and now I just get a bad feeling when I see one. I have many friends who think the same and it's 100% to do with Musk, as I associated him with the brand as do a lot of other customers. It's of course illogical, but humans are very illogical..

I have a hypothesis here. Go is a language closely curated by Google, and the primary use of Go in Google is to write concurrent Protobuf microservices, which is exactly the case of exchanging lots of small packets on a very reliable networks.

Lawsuit claims Oracle fired Bay Area man because of his age
I think that really depends on the type of book. I've found the large PDFs to be by far the most reliable for books printed before the 20th century because - save for Google Books - no one's OCR is tuned for the kind of printing errors, age related wear and tear, and fonts used over the centuries.

Manuscripts (which are admittedly very niche) often have to be high resolution scans or photographs just to be readable, but zlib and libgen don't really have many of those.
No it didn't. The Church was not a scientific body. The basis for their beliefs was not the scientific method, but faith in a literal interpretation of Scripture. Actual international scientific consensus (meaning, the consensus of actual scientists) has never had anyone murdered, if for no other reason than "science" has no body equivalent to the Church empowered or capable to do so, but certainly not for proving a hypothesis.
Further, a demonstration of TeXmacs can be seen in:

I understand the theory of externalities. I certainly understand that it’s difficult or impossible to know all costs to all parties for some good. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t pretty clear examples, like burning fossil fuels. It certainly doesn’t mean you can dismiss any mention of externalities simply because they are complicated. Some people are bald.

You talk about how certain goods are immensely beneficial to society, but that’s not sufficient to claim there are positive externalities. Your example of a road being used by a store that you buy from is a poor example. Those transportation costs would simply show up in the cost of the stuff you buy (disregarding government subsidies for roads, of course, but that’s a separate issue).
> People need to stop voting on purely emotion, and vote more with logic and ethics.

Ultimately, though emotion–or at least, subjective preference–is the root of ethics; logic can get you from that root (plus, where relevant, observations about the world) to more complex non-root ethical statements, but it gets you nothing without the root preferences, which it cannot generate.

Agreed, most of what people produce are facsimiles of typewritten documents, account ledgers, and overhead slides.
That's what rubs me the wrong way I think, there is something off about a post like that, it just feels like bad faith "content" rather than an actual helpful write up about something, and I feel like more of this is ruining the internet. It's the equivalent of a more sophisticated listicle.
> Our requirements are functionally-equivalent to a copy of passwords.xlsx on a network share.

Really?!

That's the least secure option I can think about, including LastPass. No encryption whatsoever, and the whole setup relies on no one ever making copies or otherwise getting unauthorized access to the file. Audits could be tricky, too - Excel may save some temporary copies of this file somewhere (like in %TEMP%) without anyone realizing.

This stuff isn't rocket science (pass is a simple shell script, after all), but your comment sounds quite concerning. I mean, I know banks are notoriously backwards when it comes to technologies and information security, but this is just... wrong.
> I haven't seen a single top level comment that demonstrated a complete reading and understanding. Some even willingly admit an inability to process the information. Funny, because I thought this was actually remarkably good scientific journalism!

In defense of Typical HN:

- Usually, the submission itself isn't the topic, but rather it functions like a discussion prompt.

- As you've observed yourself, the primary thing the article tells us is that studies in this space are pretty much worthless, because the problem is incredibly hard to study. There isn't really much to discuss about the article itself.

But yeah, I also found the wrist actionography bit to be interesting, and quite surprising. My own takeaway here is that we might eventually get better studies, as wearable sensors become more and more ubiquitous, making it possible to do proper measurements where to date we have to rely on self-reporting.

Does it matter from the server point of view?
Their arguments around IPv4 and IPv6 and DNS felt weird, like, who cares about how large the DNS name space is if you never exhaust the limited reagent, IPv6?

I guess it felt like the obvious conclusion is that IPv6 would allow for this sort of individual site blocking but they didn’t want to say that so spent a lot of word count trying to make it sound ridiculous. I hope I simply misunderstood something because it felt very dishonest.
User agent sniffing is poor practice anyways. Try to use the feature and react according to the browser's abilities. Analytics and similar can sniff all day though.

To push browsers to get rid of UA string, we should all use a UA string extension that uses the same string like "DOG-SHIT". That way it'll start showing up in analytics.

And if you're trying to date the "data science" girl, spam the app/website with UA string like "hi-amy-will-you-go-out-with-me--sincerely-jack-who-sits-behind-you."
Kagi would be smart to offer a few tiers of service to encourage paid adoption. Have a pricey one time lifetime fee that goes up in price each year. Have a reasonable flat one time fee to increase the number of searches over free so that folks not ready for a subscription will jump at the opportunity. Add a "member since 20xx" icon to log in screen to let folks show how long they've been a member. Sell t-shirt, hoodie, laptop stickers, phone case, coffee mug swag to increase awareness. Make it easy to organize bookmarks, share search results and curate search lists.

> AoC is somewhat more difficult, but is it worth a blog post?

The AoC isn't the blog post; the choice of using a different language every day is the blog post. Does that not seem even remotely interesting to you?

> I'm somewhat surprised by this community's adoration of AoC and at the same time aversion to Leetcode and/or competitive programming in general.

AoC is deliberately a game. It's spirited and fun. Leetcode is a by-product of an interviewing system that worked kind-of well at one company once upon a time, and then everybody decided they needed to do the same thing because that company had a Big Name, and now we have a broken interview process that is — in most practical respects — completely useless.

That's not to say some Leetcode problems aren't good or fun problems to work on, but the website itself was purpose-built to help people game a broken interview process (which has, incidentally, only made the process worse).
I personally believe that each emerging technology should charted by probability, value, position, velocity and acceleration. Not all technologies have the same probability of commercialization. Not all technologies will touch the same number of lives or achieve the same commercial value. And certainly not all technologies are moving and developing at the same pace. In my experience, the hype cycle is a rough snapshot and is nearly impossible to use for technology applications or investing.
> Why haven’t science scholars devoted time to this issue?

This is a flat out lie. Metascientists have grappled with this question for a long time, including Kuhn and Popper (who are mentioned). The truth of the matter is that you can't identify a scientific fact, that's not really how science works. We rule things out, not in. But we also hone in on answers but never have an exact one. There will always be a lot of trust in the system. We trust that scientists won't lie. The truth is that there is very little lying. Because if you do, you are completely ruined. We're even seeing people distrust science not because scientists are wrong but because science reporting is wrong and people will blame scientists but not the reporting. Though the thing is, how is a layman supposed to know the difference? I wouldn't expect them to and I don't know how to. I can only really judge a "fact" that's in my niche in my field and everything else is an educated guess. I have training and experience, but there's still a lot of trust in the system. The world runs on trust and people are extremely trustworthy and good, even in this time where many people don't think this is true the evidence is right there that people are honest.

But the article is talking about two different things. It opens with

> Scientists, policymakers, and laypersons could all use an answer to [knowing what is a fact]

but then starts discussing how we know the earth's core's composition. I'm surprised they didn't talk about the electron (or particles) as this is something Popper and Kuhn both talked about. Are they real or are they forces or just a mathematical construct? This is a far more philosophical question than discussing how public can understand if someone is teaching science or telling lies while sounding scientific. This is really missing the point if you're conflating these two philosophical ideas.

I do think we should teach more metascience in the sciences but I'm not sure this will do anything to build peoples' trust in science, and more importantly, scientific communication.

But how should policy makers deal with these questions? The same way news sources should. You communicate with the scientists and you have scientists (or former) on your team. People that can speak the language and communicate with you. This has to be a team effort because we live in a world of specialization. There is too much information for any singular person to even have a glimpse of reality. But you'll find that many politicians don't have members like these on their teams and I'm not sure how you could expect them to make accurate decisions (or how they can even trust themselves, but that's a different issue).
Thanks, didn't see that detail! Good sources.

What's worse, it's mostly dismissed. This is surprising, because it's arguably the most important factor - even the speculated negative effects of sleep training on child development pale in comparison to the negative effects of persistently sleep-deprived parents have on child short and long-term development.
This. 100% this.

We live in the 21st century and have proper APIs to detect features now, we should not be relying on parsing this user-agent string which is 90% legacy-garbage anyways.

I mean, sites blocking compatible browsers is such a common problem that not only do user-agent switcher extensions exist, they're also some of the most popular extensions out there!
This is the correct answer. Allow 3rd party analytics or whatever to do as they choose, but your javascript should pretty much never believe a UA string.

`if (someFeature && someFeature.someSpecificMethod)...`

This piece seems to be focused on explaining the state-of-the-world, with a clear theme of needing wealth redistribution in my uniform.

I like that they didn't propose policies, as that brings in personal opinions.
https://icannwiki.org/.horse:

"The purpose of the .horse gTLD is to offer horse owners, service providers, horse industry employees, and volunteers the opportunity to clearly define their presence on the Internet and to help potential customers gain access to content about horses.

...

We specifically examined more restrictive registration policies, such as limiting registration to members of organizations with a specific tie to horses. We rejected such limitations because they would interfere with .horse’s primary mission, purpose, and goals--which is to encourage as many registrants as possible to associate themselves with horses for any legal purpose."

Who did this?

"MMX, also known as Minds + Machines, applied for the gTLD on behalf of the company and its subsidiary.

...

Minds + Machines Group Limited (MMX) (formerly Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd. (TLDH)) is the parent company of Minds + Machines. The company is dedicated to acquiring and operating new gTLDs, as well as providing consultancy services and back-end registry solutions for entities interested in operating new gTLDs. The company is publicly traded on the AIM under the ticker symbol TLDH.L. Its market cap is valued at over $60 million USD."

Also:

"The application for the .horse TLD is supported by the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government, Keeneland Pony Club, Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau, The Greater Lexington Chamber of Commerce, Inc., Kentucky Equine Humane Center, and the Inforatag Racing Stable LLC."
Kagi is in fact better for me very frequently. I customized it to my liking and it shows better results than Google. Sure, I would be able to find the same content on Google, but that would require using keywords for site or file type.

With DDG I had anxiety that I am not finding the right results and would double check on Google too often. With Kagi this anxiety is gone - that’s a phenomenal accomplishment in my opinion.
Curious how folks think this compares to Neeva? For whatever reason, didn't quite stick with that one.
That dilemma seems very specific to Canadian law (or any situation where such a law exists).

The thing I asked was whether it makes sense to remove the concept of property and markets entirely from meteorites.

Sayings yes it's property but adding a minor exception wouldn't eliminate the incentives entirely... but it could severely reduce the incentives to find them and therefore the net gain scientists (and the public) get from making it open to the private hunters.

Those details matter a lot in that context, do they have to turn it over indefinitely for 'research'? Do researchers have to compensate the finder if they take it for an extended period of time? etc.

That's basically a whole different conversation that's predicated on the core question I proposed but it's a different question.
While I'm ill-equipped to properly analyze that comparison, I'd generally be wary of generalizing from rulings about music recordings, which get special treatment under US copyright law. They're even represented by a distinct category, "phonorecords", explicitly excluded from the definition of "copies".
Dividing packets into MTUs is the job of the tcp stack - or even the driver or NIC in the case of offloads. Userspace software shouldn’t deal with MTUs and always use buffer sizes that make sense for the application - eg 64kB or even more. Otherwise the stack wouldn’t be very efficient with every tiny piece of data causing a syscall and independent processing by the networking stack
Problem is some versions of some browsers have bugs in some parts of doodle2, and the largest websites tend to care about things like that.
There's definitely a lesson in prioritization in there, as these task are mostly not dependent on each other. Hal already had the light bulb in his hand when he noticed the loose shelf and he already had the tools to fix the shelf when noticing the squealing. The only dependency in there was fixing the car to get WD40 and fix the drawer.

From a business perspective, he could have finished the first two tasks before going to the next one - the total time to completion would be the same, but the business would have had 2/4 tasks completed and therefore a better product earlier.

The fact that this is an article written by a software engineer that completely ignores the missing dependencies bears some irony :-)
> Without any notice to Cloudflare, an Austrian court had ordered Austrian Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block 11 of Cloudflare’s IP addresses.

This is a little poetic. :)

Cloudflare is often blocking legitimate access to its customers' Web sites, sometimes triggered by browser privacy&security settings and blocker rulesets, sometimes triggered by using Tor exit nodes.

I wonder whether Cloudflare customers are aware of this (or does it just show up in metrics of "bad" requests/hosts they've blocked), and whether the customers would prefer that those users could access.

From a privacy and security perspective, I wonder whether Cloudflare often blocking a user from accessing a site they want to access encourages people to disable privacy and security measures?
How about, pay per search?
Pirates being picky, eh?

Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the access that libgen and z-lib provide and think on the whole it is beneficial to society. It is still not paying for people's work though.
I was hired a couple decades ago to replace a Microsoft Access system that was written by a non-software engineer and was running an entire company with around 50 users with all sorts of complex forms.

It got a little too big and I rewrote it as a C# desktop application talking to a SQL Server, but it was impressive what this person was able to create with no real programming knowledge and just Microsoft Access.
If you replaced QM with general relativity, you would be correct. So, your broader point is valid.
