Yandex feels like a relatively simple text search with results from a large number of sources, kind of like Google from ~15 years ago. Modern Google instead feels like it gives you what it thinks you "actually" want, with an extreme preference to push you towards a very limited number of heavily weighted sources.

A simple example would be a search for 'russia usa war'. It's the sort of search that's REALLY annoying using something like Google for because, predictably, it gave me nothing but results about Ukraine from large US media outlets. Yandex gave me this [1] pretty informative Wiki entry as the #1 result, and then three pages describing a hypothetical Russia USA war including this [2] interesting looking video (and channel) on YouTube.

Continuing on further down the results you get ever more interesting things like this [3] that suggests Russia was involved in the US Civil War, on the side of the Union! As is always the case for anything, just because it's published - doesn't mean its true. But in this case it does seem to be, which is something I had no clue of even as a history fan! So I just had a TIL in "my" domain, while spending 5 minutes writing this post (and another 30 exploring Russian involvement in the US Civil War). That's why it rocks. Basically it kind of makes the internet feel like the internet again. And that's nice.

You're missing the entire point. It is a clown world where Black Lives Matter (never mind the fact most people killed by cops are white), but saying it's okay to be white is somehow offensive.

The entire absurdity of that is why it works as a troll. Nobody should be offended by that statement, and yet...

Why does an Android TV device requiring a Google account paint Google in a bad light?

If I’m all-in on the Google/Android ecosystem, this is a positive! It works even better!

The alternative is that the people behind the Nvidia Shield are intentionally user hostile / acting with malice, in cooperation with Google?

The idea that the account requirement is positive or negative is a hugely subjective one. The fact is it’s needed. Whether it’s positive or negative is largely irrelevant. The fact should be surfaced.
> was conquered was because of industries

And control of the global trade networks. The same reason why the seemingly insignificant Netherlands (population and area wise) were able to maintain its position as a global superpower throughout most of the 17th century before being replaced by Britain. Of course it's a bit baffling that that happened after England and Holland ceased being rivals because a Dutch army invaded Britain, overthrew it's government and put their Stadholder on the English Throne..

I wouldn't say so. Some of the colonizers were quite small: the Portuguese, the Dutch, the Belgians, &c.

But it's important to state that it wasn't Europeans, but western Europeans who colonized. Here in Romania we never colonized anyone but were colonized by western Europeans and Asians: Austrians, Russians, Turks, &c.

I have the impression that here on HN most post are about latest/hyped tools, but the "real" industry is done with boring/old fashionated tools.
Your post just confirms my toughs since you are using terms like "cloud-native" which sounds like marketing boolshit to me, but such terms are common here on HN. (And I am not against HN in general, it is my favorite website, but I learned a long time ago that I should treat it with a bit of salt regarding hyped tools and technologies)
And surely there's no way your impression is biased? Or that you have an agenda?

I'm 59, and I've noticed cognitive changes as I've gotten older. Perhaps the biggest ones are: 1) How much distraction and interruption I can tolerate before I lose my flow. 2) How long it takes to get back into flow when picking up something I worked on months or years ago.

I was going to add 3) How long it takes to find something on my computer, but that might be a function of adding more stuff and never getting rid of anything. I don't think I was more organized as a kid, just there was less stuff to organize.

In terms of things like social attitudes, having kids go through high school and college age was a big "reset" button, because I kind of observed the world through their eyes and listened to their arguments. They're the ones who have to live with this ** after all.
Trump presented it as an intentional biological attack from China. This is why everyone was running as fast as possible from "lab leak". Nobody wanted to add WW3 to our problems with an unknown pandemic looming at the horizon.
It is almost always the people who "just talk" (managers) that are being measured by OKRs, though.

It's just that these managers often respond by relaying their OKRs to their teams and making them constantly-aware-of and responsible-for achieving them, rather than having the OKR be something private to the executive level that informs the manager's decisions, while they continue to run the team the way they would without OKRs.

This does not feel surprising to me. I think you mentally lock into the age where you really bloomed into your adult self. For many, that is their early 20s. For me, it is around 30 (I am in my 50s).

And then that perceived age very slowly drifts up, but still with considerable lag to “real” age.
> "Folk high school" is equivalent to community college.

I thought a community college was just a college/university that aimed to serve the local community and its needs, rather than having terribly high research ambitions?

If so, it's completely different from folk high schools (in Norway, at least). They have no grades and no exams, and they serve 18-19 year olds from elsewhere than their local community. It's very rare to go to your own community's folk high school. Unlike all other education levels in Norway, folk high schools are boarding schools by default.

Also, because they struggle somewhat with popularity, they're quite focused on hobby or "useless" skills, from art to horse sports. There's even some esports offerings in recent years. They need to draw students in, and for most students with a traditional goal in mind such as becoming a nurse or an accountant, they would be a poor investment of a year, so they can't really offer very "practical" courses.

Young people go there to live their dream career for a while, get some more time to figure out what they can actually do as a career, and "make friends for life", a phrase you'll find a lot in folk high school promotional material. It's pretty much code for "find a serious boyfriend/girlfriend". Rare for arenas where that's the goal, they're typically rather gender balanced, or even with women slightly overrepresented.
The answer lies in the frequency of updates across the org. KRs in most orgs are reviewed on a quarterly basis, whereas marketing spend, conversions and similar need a weekly cadence. We are currently reporting on KRs on a weekly basis, but that requires a lot of indoctrination for new hires.
I lost my parents at age 20, and instantly felt 30 for the next 10 years-
and the next 10 years after that.

One of the silver linings of losing parents so young is getting a genuine interest to not have that happen to you, so I've made my health a pretty important part of my life - enough so that I won't die in my 50's unless a freak accident happens. My body could be misplaced for a 30 year old, even if my face looks 40.

> The problem is that engineers like to work in silos and they do not communicate well with other engineers.

This is organizational problem that should be solved so that meetings are avoided as much as possible. The main way I have seen this solved is by engineering teams having clear APIs between. I use the term API loosely. This may be a software API between software teams but it may be a document, hardware interface or other sort of interface.

Without this sort of structure, communication requirements grow quadratically with each additional person, i.e., n*(n-1)/2 where n is the # of people.
This is just a bureaucratic checkbox though. IT approvals are "an employee asked if they could use this" not some kind of broader endorsement.

The UK did not acquire territories because of religious issues and to push out Puritans. It was economics. Your explanation in general is a massive oversimplification - most of the time, governments weren't intentionally driving colonization. England favored economic growth with corporations running the show.

Jamestown, for example, was not founded by the government of England but instead by an investment company in search of riches. The Puritans as well; the government didn't put them on a boat, they bought a charter from the Virginia Company.

I don't care what managers do as long as it's managers doing their own fucking jobs instead of forcing it on everyone below them. Individual engineers shouldn't have to plan objectives, their own or otherwise. That's literally what management is for in the first place.
The parent of your comment brings up a valid point though.

The Western media pushing divisive narratives is a major problem, that is already starting to tear apart the social fabric of Western society. I don't know what the solution is, but it sure isn't "herr durr, move to Russia!"

You understand that a cartel of traditional and social media companies worked with the FBI and intelligence agencies to push a false narrative (the fake Steele dossier, paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign) and to suppress a major story about corruption by a Presidential candidate (Hunter Biden's laptop), both of which are straight up election interference. Even if you're a Democrat or a never-Trumper this should outrage you.

The problem is, the US has invaded more countries in the last 50 years than the rest of the world combined and it's always based on lies and/or ulterior motives. So we have zero credibility on this.

At this point, if you don't instinctively assume our CIA/State Dept are actively working to undermine other nations then you haven't been paying attention. Why should we ever trust anything they say or do? Because Putin is a dick? Sorry, that's not quite enough to undo decades of lies I've had to listen to these turds shovel down our throats.

On the one hand, I understand wanting to make the works more palatable to contemporary audiences.

On the other hand, I don't like the idea of whitewashing our sorted past in this way.

On the gripping hand, the foaming-at-the-mouth anti-woke crowd makes it difficult to not see them as exactly the reason people think this sort of thing needs to be done.

I think OBS just captures the pixels on your display, not the logical windows themselves. So OBS doesn't know anything about your windows aside from maybe the first one to get the dimensions/position of the rectangle to capture.

The recursion you're seeing is just old pixels from a previous capture that were copied into a new capture. It's the same thing that happens if you connect a video camera so its output is displayed on a TV/computer, then point the video camera at that output. To the video/camera computer system, it's no different than if there were no recursion "loop."

A special case is a microphone + speaker. If you feed the speaker output from the microphone back to the microphone, there's a feedback loop that amplifies the signal making that really loud humming sound.

It’s a bitter pill to swallow seeing this article. I am a former Squarespacer who left in the past year. All I will say is consider a few things carefully about this:

1. This introduces a lot of process, bureaucracy, and chances of gatekeeping politics. The whole “yes if” mantra just centralizes the political power to the hands of fewer senior leaders by cutting off legitimate blocking criticism from the rank and file.

2. Judge processes by outcomes. What has Squarespace done / shipped / accomplished in the last four or five years? I’m not alone in feeling like it’s a head-scratcher why the company would pay the most senior engineers to erect slow moving bureaucratic decision-by-committee disempowerment structures like this, and then turn around and act like that’s a good thing or constitutes what you’d want to see as productivity from staff or principal engineers.

While I’m a proponent of writing things down, not surprising peer teams, pulling blockers or conflicts forward quickly … I don’t think templates and councils help more than they hurt, and often domain experts in different teams need empowerment to just totally bypass that time-wasting crap and do what needs to be done. If they don’t uphold the responsibility to do due diligence on review or finding conflicts, fire them or take them off the project, but don’t make everyone wear design-by-committee training wheels and act like that’s non-dysfunctional good engineering.

YMMV of course, but I reckon it’s really worth it to ask what is the real engineering output, speed, productivity following from this kind of large process overhead.

The way to think about this is that people affiliate themselves with tribes for multiple reasons.

One can philosophically not care at all about the beliefs of Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, etc, but for the purposes of interacting with members of their tribe, and signaling to other members of their tribe that they are in that tribe, they might still describe themselves as being “Catholic” (or whatever).
But then how would you separate, for example, teaching from preaching?
> This is not a thing in big cities, and there are no facilities freely available to anyone.

Yeah, right after reading this I started thinking about how to start such a circle in my area, and realized it's not possible because a key factor is a free space young people can adopt and re-imagine. In a densely populated city this is immensely hard to happen spontaneously, any such space will most likely be quickly occupied by homeless people, which feels more urgent than education and exploration.

Very true, there are a lot of sites out there back in the day that a lot of oldtimers would remember.

My personal favourite was astalavista, named in relation to the legit search-site altavista I guess.

Actually I take that back, my favourite site was +fravia's reverse engineering pages. Mostly because the legitimate crack-sites were safe, but there was always a risk of downloading something with a virus, or a trojan instead. So it was more rewarding to read up on the reversing techniques and do the job myself.

Happy days using Numega's soft-ice (kernel mode debugger) to remove the protection it shipped with.

When I switched to Linux one of the first "problems" was that there were few commercial binaries which required a license key, so there were fewer reasons to actual get into reverse engineering / decompiling & patching linux binaries.

Do you really find language like "chest feeding" to be a non-degrading way of talking about women? I can't imagine successfully defending that language to anyone, say 10 years ago. I think you just missed the point where it became insane, instead of progressive, because the line was blurry.
> Approvers say “yes” or “not yet.” We want to encourage constructive comments, so the template doesn’t suggest “no.” Instead of just vetoing an idea, it’s better to be clear on what it would take to approve it.

I'm not trying to be facetious, but what if the idea really is a No? Not every change is for the better. What if someone proposes "we should rewrite X in Y language," or "we should use Z database instead." Sometimes you need to say "No."

Otherwise you end up with feature creep, endless rewrites and refactoring, code churn, and a bunch of other issues.
