I search for the name of a Windows DLL, because I want technical information about it – what it does, its documented API, any information on undocumented APIs or reverse engineering, its implementation status in Wine or ReactOS, history of security vulnerabilities, its history (is it a descendant of some DLL in Windows 3.x, or was it just added in Windows 10 or 11?), etc, etc, etc

Instead of giving me what I want, it gives me pages of useless content farm crap with titles such as "How to Fix WHATEVER.dll Not Found or Missing Errors", "WHATEVER.dll free download", etc, etc, etc.

I can't understand why Google can't expunge all this content farm junk. I don't believe it is technically infeasible – rather, I think it is that Google (for whatever reason) doesn't actually want to do so.
This is pretty great; they've done the work to produce useful capsule summaries of a bunch of memory safety topics (like forward- and backward-edge CFI, JOP, and PAC). Looking forward to seeing how far they can take it. The assembler snippets are useful and could be fleshed out more.
> He's so young, and he already feels that society is hostile against him.

This really shouldn't be surprising. It's incredibly tough when from the moment you enter the education stream, every single chip is stacked against you, you are constantly blamed for problems you had no hand in, and are then bombarded with fundamental questions about your identity such as if you're sure you're even a boy.

If you make it to the age where you realize that the adults are very wrong and your teachers can have specific biases against you, then you can make it. But until that point, there's a lot of confusing suffering to survive through.
I still use cash a lot. Many places I go to only accept cash.

These places are not fully licensed which is probably why they don't want to accept digital but there's definitely still a case for it IMO.
> It's fair to say men hold a disproportionate amount of power

No it's not. It's neither accurate nor fair.

A disproportionate amount of power is held by people who happen to be men. That does not mean men as a group hold a disproportionate amount of power.

People always confuse these things.

Treat people as individuals, not as instances of groups.
Are you trying to justify making the poor pay even more by suggesting they already bear the burden?
Copywriters calling GPT content soulless is truly the pot calling the kettle black. Copy is the most useless, soulless content out there that for some reason every product is expected to have.
Also we will see a similar cycle play out with AI that computing devices did.

Right now we back in the “mainframe” days where IBM, MS, and Google have the systems.

Next will be “super computers”, then “work stations”, then “personal computers” then “mobile”. At the end we’ll all have many data sets and AIs in our pocket.

This cycle will be way faster because we don’t have to invent the underlying computer tech.

You can already get the AI in your pocket to classify and content search all you photos.
That's how the defendant should dress going to court.
> Help people move around a big area easily and cheaply and the housing crisis will be no more

And yet, cities/regions with great transit systems are the most expensive to live and have the most severe shortages. HK, London, NYC, SF...
It appears I’m one of the very few happy about this change. I miss my colleagues at work and having fun discussions about programming, investing, podcasts. I miss the adhoc discussions about a problem someone was encountering and helping them fix it. I miss talking to new people in the kitchen about what they did that weekend. I miss playing board games with a group of 10 people from different departments and teams. I miss the happy hours, the excitement, the kickoff of a new project. I loved my job, then WFH happened, I switched teams, found that still boring, went to another company, left within 3 months because that was still boring. I’ve lost a lot of joy from remote work. I’m excited that within the next 2 years I’ll be able to find a place to work that doesn’t work remotely, because, frankly I hate it.
There are strictly more parentheses since other languages also use [] and {} (and <>) instead for different things. Or even ; or whitespace. Ignoring the majority of available brace types is just stupid if you ask me. The parentheses being at the wrong positions is something I can deal with (still no fan of RPN, but w/e), but intentionally crippling syntax that could help is just not a good idea. Syntax is your friend, use it.
I don't know what that means. What lid? And why would a lid cover the sides of a phone?

Even a case fully covering the sides could have a bump in the right place, to serve as a target for the user and transmit force to the phone's force sensor.
Maybe but using CCs is even more expensive for the poor given their propensity to not pay their balances in full for multiple reasons; so from that PoV cash is cheaper.
It still exists for you- just buy one. People have been using “hoverboards” before bird and they’ll continue to do so. Bird wanted to profit but not take responsibility. They were completely reckless in 2018 and were very easy on their customers riding on sidewalk at full speed and not even providing a way to securely lock it. Then when the regulations came down, after the city saw how reckless they were being used, it’s going to be harsh, duh. If they were thoughtful or even took responsibility to correct some behavior they could have even sold this as transit for the poor and made the city pay them for the privilege of providing them with an option that public transit can’t match. They’d have come up with stations for them to store and retrieve. They’d have strictly banned users taking it to the sidewalk or unsafe use.
You're correct, I didn't pick a good link. I picked one that admits the problem and then downplays it. Please note that no evidence exists on the page for the controlled gender pay gap.

Places that care and investigate will in turn find corruption and you are likely to hear about it. Be concerned where you hear nothing as that sometimes means they don't care and are covering up.

I was thinking also when Geordi LaForge created Leah Brahmes to learn more about the Enterprise's engines... that didn't lead to ANY problems!
Yeah there was something special there that I haven't seen happen in games ever since then. The full 6 degrees of freedom was disorienting at first but extremely fun once you got the hang of it.
I also found it to flip between "this is obvious advice" and "this is awful advice", and I think that's part of the issue. I've had multiple arguments with people where that natural motte-and-bailey led to "oh, you don't like Clean Code? so you think variables shouldn't have understandable names?"
I haven't heard of it, I will take a look, thanks.

I remember being very disappointed in Civ 5 compared to Civ 4 but I can't now remember much about it. I think I liked the slime-mould like spread of culture/religion compared to the simplification in 5. Was there also unit stacking?

> The pay scales seem to indicate that we are pretty damn far from having a general problem with anti-male prejudice

No they don't indicate that at all. Equal pay day is in fact anti-male propaganda. It's the opposite of meritocracy to expect people to earn the same regardless of career and life choices and that's exactly what the equal pay day would require. The controlled pay gap is at 1% (based on the same source you linked).
> but when it comes to its citizens, they are properly taken care [of] to move forward

Except for Uyghur citizens apparently, unless of course they have drastically mangled the meaning of 'taken care of' beyond all recognition. The same if you're a Falun Gong member, or a dissident, or said anything bad about Dear Leader, or complained about the wrong corrupt business entity, or have a low social credit score for whatever reason, etc. If this nightmare is 'moving forward', then I prefer 'dark times' thank you very much.
It does, and one class of mitigation is to improve automation, which airlines (and their regulators) do all the time.

But another class of mitigations is to make the human less error-prone in the first place. This is especially important in preventing failures that were caused by improper management of the automation. Hence the emphasis on rest periods, training, and other mitigations on the human side.

In the "swiss cheese" model, a disaster needs to slip through both the human's defenses and the automation's defenses to actually happen. It makes sense to improve both of those layers of defense against disaster, while acknowledging that humans will never be perfect. But at least they can be awake and knowledgable.
Which hiring practices are those? The ones that favor women by 2:1? https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1418878112

Anecdotally, an executive recruiter friend I talked to recently here in Europe said that she now has to get approval from corporate headquarters in the US for a straight white male candidate.

This is like no-competes or binding arbitration agreements. If you decline to sign, your rights were honored, and you're free to find a job elsewhere.
I don’t quite follow - what is the reason? That you wish there was a haptic home button? iPhones never had haptic buttons on the front face - only real physical press buttons.
The important part seems to be that the thing can convince us it's conscious not whether it is actually conscious in a similar way we are. We don't know that anything is actually a computation but that hasn't stopped us from using computations in place of real systems.

"Principles of Product Development Flow" This is an academic standard for queuing theory and flow of value by Don Reinertsen. Tough read btw.

"The Fifth Discipline" by Peter Senge. This is a classic text that also covers the mental model side of the shift from managing people to managing flow.

"Team Topologies" by Skelton and Pais. Another classic on team structure as it relates to flow of value.

And well, have to mention my little book, "Agile V2 Coach's Field Manual" available on Amazon. Hardcover only. I need to write a rev, but still holds up regarding the concept of codifying behaviors into a delivery system, thus cutting down on politics, finger-pointing, unethical decision-making, and other crap that represents the legacy people-management model. Quick read.

Lot more books available. This is a very rich area of study that's been around since people have been trying to figure out how to get out of each other's way for better outcomes.
Seriously. Trying to keep oneself functioning after work vs just taking a nap and getting back to work, refreshed is sooo good.

Why would a defense attorney need feel guilty? All humans are fundamentally duplicitous, which includes "the good guys". I'm fine with a serial killer getting the best defense possible. Without a strong counterpressure in a system, no relative virtue has the capacity to be emerge.

Everyone needs a good defense. No exceptions.

In point of fact, before the emergence of Law & Order, it was often the defense attorney focused on as the person of virtue in the legal system. Governments gonna government. They have tons of tax money to throw at locking people up.

A defense attorney has their assistants, wits, and maybe a PI or two they can reach out to to get them info to use in the defense of their client.

And even with a 100% open shut, they done it case, the hypothetical defendant still deserves someone that will exercise every legal remedy/avenue on their behalf, because, damnit, no one else will, and if we're going to pretend our legal system is even remotely okay, there has to be someone to look out for even the scumbags.

The only tragedy is that like so much these days, the inequity of the system is laid bare by the paltry quality/funding dispersed to the Public Defender's office compared to what gets raked in by the big firms & outfits.

The problem is that currently Unix (well, Linux) doesn't have tools that do one thing right. They are too small and too overwhelmed by the problems they need to solve.

And this gets worse the more generic a tool you want to make, because, inevitably, you will have to account for the lower-level tools that your tool has to use. Let's, again, take storage as an example.

So, you want to write a program that shows users what block devices are currently available to them. Seems conceptually simple and potentially very useful. And, right off the bet you hit complexity: do loop devices count? Do separate partitions count, and if so, what to do about special partitions that keep data necessary for hardware RAIDs to function, that, in general, shouldn't be exposed to users)? How do you go about RAID devices, do you acknowledge that RAIDs exist and display them as separate entities, or do you pretend they don't and only display their constituents? How about physical and logical volumes? Do you think that you need to support ZFS volumes? What if some FUSE filesystem decides to expose some information as a device file, does that count as a block device? What about iSCSI (potentially with multipathing)? Encrypted devices?

And there are more... there's archaic NBD alongside with the blazing hot NVMe over IP and so on. And you don't really have any unifying interfaces. You can look into /sys/block, but depending on how you answered the questions above, you'll either find too little or too much info there. And there's not a single tool that can really, in all circumstances, give you a correct answer to the question "what block devices are currently available".

Unix started with a bunch of simplified assumptions and sloppy (if any) planning. It's OK for computers with predictable and not very diverse hardware configuration. But, because Linux is free (as in beer) enterprise sector decided to capitalize on this freedom. They no longer needed to develop the platform to run their stuff on. They took a tool that was supposed to enable individual users and small businesses to take ownership of their hardware and turned it into a money printing machine. And they keep using it w/o major investments as long as they can make profits.

It means that it sucks to be a system / infra guy (not financially, but in terms of what you have to work with), because your stuff is broken and will never get better, since the business decided that they'd rather run their stuff on a toy but free (as in beer) system than invest into developing a more grown-up one.
shit you're right. I forgot that part. But, if it used standard gauge, you'd still see it being transported in non-train-like ways.

Also Plato is the earliest (Western) philosopher for whom we have full dialogues. For most of the presocratics we only have fragments of their works.
Ok? I don't think society is overall hostile to men. I'm a man. I think I might have noticed.

I'm not telling you to sacrifice your son to some abstract goal. I'm telling you that his happiness depend on things more meaningful than a gender label. Your son doesn't have to attach his identity to an oppressor class that is ending, which surely would impact his happiness. He can instead attach it to the end of oppression, something he can feel happy working toward.

And it's not my idea that ending inequality requires asymmetric behavior. It's a basic fact that if Bucket A has 4 apples and Bucket B has 2 apples, asymmetric behavior will be required to get an equal number of apples in the buckets. Similarly, reducing my male privilege is going to require behaviors that are not perfectly the same toward all people. Should we try to minimize "collateral damage" as we move forward? Absolutely! But we should also keep in mind that not moving forward means ongoing damage. If we treat the collateral damage to men (from improvement) as more important than the damage to women (from not improving), that's just another flavor of patriarchy.
“Cover” is probably what OP meant - not block as in prevent the user from operating. You’re pressing the case, not the button directly.

So whether there’s a perfectly tuned click response from a physical mechanism or just haptics under the layer of plastic is kind of irrelevant.
Thanks for the clarification. It might be me, but quotes would have made that obvious.

Has Google really been "outsmarted" by all these SEO consultants? Or is Google smarter than them, but has decided not to use their smarts?

Google search is full of content farm crap, and I don't believe Googlers aren't smart enough to work out how to stop it, if they were truly motivated to do that.

Maybe, someone has decided that content farm crap is better for advertising revenue than real content. Or that the "average user" would rather crap than real. Or that the expected gain in advertising revenue from improving the search is less than the cost of doing so.
I feel you are fundamentally in agreement with my point and splitting hairs to satisfy a pedantic desire to make a very specific semantic distinction. It might feel good, but you're not going to win anyone over with this type of nitpicking.
One of the coolest use-cases for this for me is the ability to "host" these folders on a server and be able to access it from embedded contexts. I'm hoping to write a full computer stack that can run on microcontrollers (GitHub.com/Civboot/fngi), including a gopher-like browser for lightweight protocols. It could never interface with the real WWW... unless it had a server hosting the browser like this!
I did not realize humans existed who ever attempted to pronounce it.
Reminds me of the PG&E situation. You can't actually hold them liable for all the fire damage because they'd have to pass it on to rate payers. I'm not even sure if they can specifically raise rates in areas with high fire risk.

PG&E is in an even tougher bind because the fix (burying the lines) might be prohibitively expensive.
I absolutely don’t think so. This is a hype period. It will absolutely end, it may help shape the future but it won’t make it or be in it.
What about the people that do use cash regularly?

>And cash is expensive.

Cards are expensive, the price is just currently being subsidized by the industry. Do we as a society really want to have to rely on that? There's no guarantee credit card fees will not increase in the future
Your point is correct, but let’s note that SF doesn’t have a great transit system.
Glad to see someone is working on this. Humanoid robots using traditional motors is never going to cut it.
Freezing bank accounts is not acceptable, since that is currently the mechanism for electronic money transfer. It is like taking away someone’s right to own or use cash.

If a crime has been committed, and there is a fine with the crime, and there is a conviction of the crime, then the government taking money from the electronic account as payment for the fine is OK.

But the right to engage in transactions should never be able to be taken away.
In order to achieve the required lift force for takeoff, a higher angle of attack was needed to compensate for the incorrect low rotation airspeed. In effect, pilots raised to a higher nose-high attitude to achieve lift off by the expected point, and this resulted in a tail strike.
I don't think it's that hard, and I'm not alone in saying that. It seems hard because (IMHO) we won't admit it's just something like GPT running on only our own memories.
I like them. I am not (to my knowledge) financially invested in them.

I live in a major European city. Cars don't make sense for most trips because parking is limited both naturally by population density and artificially by policy. Public transit is crowded, and there are several airborne viruses of concern going around. I got a quote to insure my bike against theft when locked up in public and concluded it is very likely to be stolen. Bike rentals with parking stations are inconvenient because the stations often aren't where I want to go, and the bikes are very heavy/slow with airless tires.

So I use scooters somewhat often. I used them more when there were subscription plans that were effectively unlimited use for a month for a flat fee.
