Beyond the search results, it's becoming unusable in various other ways:

- Exact token searches (quoting, + prefix) are completely gone.

- Doesn't work properly until JS loads, leading to false starts.

- Screws with browser history so that often I cannot hit back to go to the results again, I land on the previous page before the search, and going forward goes to the result I clicked.

- 80% of the time I can't copy or save images on mobile. (This one is especially irksome).

- Shows nearly a full page grid of shopping results I don't care about if I search for any product. If I wanted shopping results I would use the shopping tab!

- Adds :~:#text= to URLs I click into, making sharing links I search up obnoxious.

It just goes on and on. These days I use Kagi, despite the friction/flakiness of the plugin on iOS.

Edit: looks like the newer 2.0 plugin just got updated a couple days ago to supposedly fix the lack of redirects. Seems to work so far! And now it redirects on any search engine site you allow the extension on, and doesn't on ones you don't, which is a fair bit nicer if a bit confusing to configure.
Where did this talk about aggression come from?
Honestly, the relationships are similar. They both require a lot of trust and companionship to be successful, you spend a lot of time with both people but in very different ways

Finding good business partners is like dating
It’s true. I’ve talked a lot of guys off the edge of a cliff. You try to warn the new generation but they don’t listen, guys always got to learn the hard way.
There is no guarantee that they wont do any of that in two weeks and since it is closed source you are basically forced to accept the enshittification or have to switch to another product.
This is the reason I haven't tried Obsidian yet. I will never use another closed source note taking app again.
If you happen to go down the same route I did and eventually get frustrated with Plex's frankly abysmal apps and interfaces (the server is terrific though) I cannot recommend Infuse enough as a replacement. I HATED the Plex Apple TV app and infuse is a fantastic replacement.
Another related question, what are some good resources on leadership?

I was really curious about their methodology, since this seems like a very non-trivial dataset to acquire.

But TLDR they just scraped a bunch of reviews for mentions of the words ‘quiet’, ‘relaxing’, ‘tranquil’, ‘calm’, and ‘peaceful’. It's not the same as actually sampling sound levels throughout a city. Probably many of the quietest places won't have map listings and reviews at all.
Would you be fine if it were titled:

"2895 lichess blitz elo without search (except for edge cases due to the threefold rep rule)" ?

The non optimal endgame play wouldn't really be a problem except for the threefold rule, in practice (i think). It would eventually bumble around and win.

Wow, I deeply want the cube and this couch. How much do you think it would cost to make the couch? How dangerous are these objects if one of the reactive wheels fails? I imagine if one was to fail, the object could be violently launched across the room.
Zoning laws that discourage mixed use developments. One of the only cities in the US that works well with the more European style model of mixed use developments with apartments and businesses all next to or on top of each other is NYC.

Great mindset and thoughts, but I hope this isn't what you actually said. I'd also like to point out serving someone or some thing doesn't make you a bitch.
Oh.. genuinely, thats what you have been doing through this thread
It was always cool. Until you find the only jobs on the market were ones that involve making machines that kill people. That’s what happened to me. YMMV.
Ok. So the salary difference should be the difference between the monthly median rent: for a 1 bed apartment that’s $1500/month cost difference, double it for taxes and fuzzy math, salary increase of $36k/year. Maybe it should cover “the median rent”, whatever size unit that is, so $1500 in Amsterdam vs $4k in SF: +$60k. Or should it cover buying a 3 bedroom house, though? That’s more like an extra $8k/month for SF, so salary difference is +$190k.

This kind of detail is where it falls down. Should people be able to purchase the same goods, or the same relative local position in society?

High output management (Andy Grove) is a classic that I've found a lot of value from over the years — written in the 80s and shows its age here and there, but otherwise good for the fundamentals: https://www.amazon.com/High-Output-Management-Andrew-Grove/d...
(Sorry for replying late to this but) that seems kind of inconvenient! And what if I'm using two libraries which happen to export functions with identical ASTs, and one updates? I guess usually meaningful nominal types will ensure that that doesn't happen but it seems like a nightmare to deal with in the event that it does.
And the top results where google give you the answer instead of taking you to a web page is often just hallucinations or not relevant.

It's simple, really; we flatten the rock, write on it with fire and acid, put lightning inside it, teach it many things, and make it speak to us from afar. See? No magic at all.
Leadership is a seductive concept, but in the main, leadership = management - work. In a healthy engineering culture, a management goal should be enabling the maximum number of people to exercise their own leadership. Even the newfangled concept of "servant leadership" is premised on a separation of agency between those who "serve/lead" and those who "are served/led".

Effective management --- do not groan before I finish this sentence --- tends to look a lot more like adminship on Wikipedia than it does, like, war leadership. It's about picking up a mop and a bucket and making the way clear for people to do their best work. And, in our field, doing one's best work often means making and communicating big decisions, which is what leadership is.

There's also a distinction between the kind of leadership the whole company needs --- hard decisions about where to allocate resources and what bets to make --- and the day-to-day "leadership" involved in getting things done as a team. I term I hear a lot is "vibes based management", which is a recognition that somebody (probably not engineering management!) is making these kinds of decisions and communicating them just well enough for line engineers to make good choices.

If you're looking for management advice because you're running a whole company, that kind of leadership is in scope! But if you're looking to learn how to be a good engineering manager, I'm not sure how much "leadership" has to do with doing a good job.
I find that let’s say you search for a review of a type of software. The comparison will either be written by one of the two software companies or a third competitor and the purpose is to sell you the product of the domain. Also, if you search for a recipe the top results will often be from a company that sells one of the ingredients. I wish there was a way to hide or remove results from these or just to flag low quality results to train an ai to provide better results.
This is most definitely true, but I think it highlights the mistaken idea that individual healthcare is a commodity. I think we all recognize that an excellent home builder, auto mechanic, attorney, software developer, etc., can have an outsized impact on the outcome of potentially severe or expensive situation but we often put less effort into finding a healthcare provider for a particular malady. I've had some severe negative outcomes from questionably competent, focused-on-billing doctors where I would have been better off not seeing a doctor at all than seeing them. Unfortunately, there's no reliable way to separate the truly skilled doctors from the ones who barely passed their boards.
Author here,

Use Jellyfin over Plex, it is open source for one thing and it's not being enshittified as Plex is, as Plex tries to generate revenue from notoriously cheap customers, by definition.
Probably the company grew, and standards grew as well. It is difficult to do layoffs / fire people based on perf in Netherlands, so it seems that's why it was only hinted for the person to leave.
I am with the company on this one. Business is business, and it's both manager's and employee's responsibility to grow and keep up with the demands. Learn from errors and move on.
Yeah the media loves to have it both ways because at the end of the day, they'recompetitors in the same attention business.
Arduino + LED = Hello World for electronics.

Find a project online that tickles your fancy, and then recreate that. If your thing doesn't work, you know it is something you did incorrectly as the project has been built successfully by others. During the course of that project, you will pick up on so many little things.

As an example, I had a project with more buttons than pins. Just something as simple as adding a few resistors to each button allows multiple buttons to be connected to the same pin. You just have test the voltage to know which button. Sounds simple, but I learned it from someone else's build.

Nobody likes walking through tutorials for tutorials sake, but it's still useful and rewarding if you can build something functional as a tutorial.

If this is your whole mindset, in what sense are you a leader? The person who moves rocks out of the way of the path for the army to march on generally isn't the leader; the leader is the guy (it's always a guy) telling people which rocks to move.

I'm not dunking on you; maybe you aren't a servant-leader, but rather just a servant. That's a great way to be: a servant of "the mission" (replace with whatever term keeps the contents of your stomach down).
My biggest gripe with Popcorn Time is that it doesn't run on my TV. I use a cloud server instead and Radarr/Sonarr combined with Real-Debrid(to download torrents) and Usenet to download content. I have a 16TB server on which I have downloaded all movies with IMDB rating > 6 and a good number of votes.

This allows me to run Plex/Jellyfin on my TV and stream. Bonus points is that it even works on my mobile phone when I'm on the move!
>It sounds like men should either not get married, or if they do, then endeavor quite seriously to keep their wives happy.

I'm happily married, and in the sense of being counter-cultural would be in completely the other end of the spectrum (very conservative about family, intend on having 6-8 kids that I will cherish even when they're adults).

That said, I think you've hit the nail on the head about "happy wife, happy life".

It's important to basically dedicate your life to being in service to her, but on the flip side it's important for her to do the same.

This level of dedication is almost counter-cultural in a sense, because you're not putting yourself first, but it's absolutely worth it in the long run.

On a visceral level, you feel always loved, always important, always worthy.
Well this is such an old project idea that they are already being sold on aliexpress both in complete form for $500 and $50 per torque axis if you want to make one from scratch. Just search up cubli.
I think you could experiment with new tile sets using stable diffusion.
I don't think the approach of getting consumers to care can work. Most people really just don't care about taking precautions when the negative impacts of not doing so are so diffuse and time-delayed; it's an unfortunate aspect of human nature. We usually overcome these individual failings by organizing into groups better suited for long-term planning. In this case the solution that comes to mind would be to make personal data legally onerous to hold and process for companies, to the extent that they would go out of their way to design their products and services to never touch the stuff, and if they do need it to operate then they would be incentivized to store it locally on users' devices and only synchronize it in a completely encrypted form such that they never have to deal with the legal implications of having access to it.
It’s always “Western society at large” in these conversations. These have for a long time only been social requirements of some women in order for some men to partner and reproduce. This is not “Western society” it is the cultural fabric, which itself is dominated by the social activity of women. It is a shadow matriarchy.
Rextron (the OEM behind Level1Techs' kVMs) has a version with EDID emulation, but it only supports usb1.1, not 3.0 or above. I sent a casual question to their contact to see what getting a branded one looks like and the Level1Techs ones are not sold at a huge markup, only about 20% or so.

EDID emulation done right is expensive.
Said most societies globally.

It's true across Africa. It's true across Asia (see: China, Japan for two very prominent examples). It's true in India. It's true across all of the Islamic world. It's commonly true in most of Europe (and absolutely true across Eastern Europe). Canada is quite similar to the US. It's true across Latin America. And it's true in the US.

When it's that comprehensive, spanning most of the human population across wildly different cultures, it's not society, it's biology. Society - cultures - are a production of that biology, reinforcing, not the other way around. It's not recent, it's ancient; it wasn't originated by humanity through society, nature organized humanity in a way that assisted survival.
strongly disagree. there is a big benefit to have cultures mix and help with integration into an international company, both to gitlab and to society. that's why i moved to china.
No, and a lot of python code is written these days.
We had a balanced budget at the turn of the century. What produced the deficit we have now was rich people deciding that their past tax cuts weren’t enough and several wars of choice with expensive occupations, not investing in future citizens.

Show HN: Presentation Interface for Figma
I love Figma and all its capabilities. It makes it so versatile and useful beyond its original purpose. But in order to use it properly for presentations it is missing a more advanced UX. Especially in bigger teams and when it comes to editing, presenting, sharing and organizing decks.

That’s why I’m building deckd - which acts as the presentation interface for Figma. Would love to get some feedback. So check it out and please roast me. www.deckd.io
> PS: the total BOM cost for this cube project was around 2500 Euros.

Somethings are purchased in packs of 10 even when needing 1 type of things happen too, so sometimes you have to divide the price by numbers used. Your comment also suggest you consider that nothing was necessary to repurchase or that the final BOM wasn't the 3rd iteration of which items were actually used in previous attempts. Pure R&D type hobby projects can be oh so much more expensive, but oh so much fun.
But pass does that too, you could even use github for the backing if you wanted.
I worry that people in these tech community conversations have socialized themselves into accepting and repeating this narrative and reinterpreting their experiences to align with the consciously adopted narrative. So you just get this vague, lobotomized commentary to the effect that the results are "terrible" without it meaning anything.

I'm personally frustrated with Google as much as anyone else, but I know they are metrics driven and I wonder if, according to a certain metric, Google is nailing it just as much as they ever have been, or perhaps are even more so.

Or they've shifted strategies to optimize for things that give them a high hit rate, perhaps things that leverage their knowledge in maps, or people's desire for extremely recent news. All of the unconscious times that we use !g because we don't trust DuckDuckGo enough to get the right answer.

I don't know what the right answer is here, I think the question "does Google suck" breaks down into several sub questions that get at the essence of what we mean, and certain variations of the question the answer is yes, such as niche discovery or deep dive research, credible long-term commitments to any kind of specific algorithm whatsoever that can help you grow an extinctual relationship with the product, and for certain other questions the answer is no.

So it's not even that I disagree, I just think anytime I see this feeling expressed, it's always reiterating that very vague first pass subjective unprovable version, and it's not breaking down into sub questions.

> now we use mechanical fonts and layout engines etc. Times change, technology changes.

Absolutely, and I personally don't design my own fonts. But if I were a professional typographer like Matthew Butterick[1] for example, and someone accused me of using Times New Roman when I actually created my own fonts from scratch, I'd probably be a little perturbed.

> Is science a search for truth, a process that should broadly accessible even to those with poor language skills?

It's absolutely a search for truth, and like I said elsewhere, I'm not opposed to someone using a large language model to help them document their findings. You can continue using ChatGPT to help you write [2]. I have no issue with that. You're arguing against a straw man.

I'm saying if someone had poor English language skills for example, and they spent years acquiring English language proficiency, they'd probably be annoyed if you discredited their years of mastering the language by simply saying "you're not fluent in English, you just used ChatGPT to write everything". That doesn't mean someone else who doesn't have the time or resources to master English can't use ChatGPT as a writing aid. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive.

Lol, I was raised Catholic; the serve others thing is quite a big part of the dogma, and I don't disagree with that necessarily (unlike quite a bit of the rest of that religion), but that doesn't mean that it works for everyone. Some people are just wired differently; the meaninglessness creeps in no matter the volunteer organization; the therapy, the drugs (licit or otherwise). It's an experience since young childhood and seems unlikely to change markedly. I'm actually quite happy that it's not something I'll ever have to subject a child to (and the probable hellscape that we're leaving them; glad I'll never have to have that conversation either). It certainly could be a post-facto rationalization on my part, but perhaps it's just the way I am and ever was. Honestly, accepting that has brought me peace as much as anything.
Debian 12.5 Released to Provide the Latest Security and Bug Fixes
You’re looking at it wrong. Google is a decent product search that occasionally mixes in other information.

Seriously I’m rennovating a house and the top of the google page usually tells me whether Home Depot or Lowes sells what I need in seconds.
We’re child free (and intend to remain as such) and in our 30s, to be honest we do wonder what it’ll be like in 30 years.

I’ve never wanted children (vehemently so) but my SO needed some convincing and it’s something I struggle with, I’m not sure if it’s really what she wants or my desires are just too strong. We’ve had this conversation between us of course and she’s not really sure either, she thinks she’ll be fine though.

I’d love to hear your perspective.

Do you feel like you’ve accomplished more than your peers? Led a more fulfilling and liberating life that allowed you to focus on yourselves? Or did that get old past age 40?
