Prior to this model, protein folding hadn't seen significant advancements in a decade or more. Worrying about the lack of tests in a first of its kind model is very much akin to co…

Parent comment is classical old guard mentality Googler who thinks if something sounds big and impressive it automatically is big and impressive. It was a marketing trick that weir…

> However, it was also an experiment from day 1, not "the next big thing" Not sure I understand that distinction. If I label all my projects as experiments, do I also get to escape…

re: cacheability of favicons, this is basically a non-issue as the bandwidth-delay product of even a 10mbit/50ms connection is already 62 kB. Anything below this size on such a con…

I can see how they ended up with an attribute that did not duplicate a potentially private URL. Consider downloading from an Intranet and copying to a USB pen that is then handed o…

For the future, and as a Windows/OSX-specific hack, there are HFS/NTFS extended attributes attached to any downloaded file indicating the domain/URL it came from. You could introsp…

Because it let me replace Ansible playbooks with a sensibly designed YAML syntax usually needing 40% the number of lines, and got my deploys down to a roughly constant 6 seconds re…

Serious question for fashionistas.. which of the modern frameworks integrate 'properly' with Closure Compiler? Not just minification, but structured so the compilation/code removal…

Selling is a horrible misnomer, the process is entirely about understanding that you have something the other party might want, and communicating this effectively. You could take a…

This gave me a giggle, perfect sentiment IMHO. Discord is basically saying "fuck you" at least 4 times each time you login, and the only appropriate response absolutely should be "…

Came here to ask this. Most obvious guess as to where the app's bible texts come from. Would much prefer to see this as a new UI for Crosswire than an independent effort. I know to…

Based on the principles in the blog post alone ( https://brave.com/brave-search-beta/ ), this will obviously be my new default search until it's proven sufficiently unusable. DDG's…

The certificate expires after 1 hour, so this is still an online process.

Windows 3.1 had something like 5 built-in widgets. CTL3D.DLL (dating myself here!) IIRC added a bunch more. IMHO somewhere between CTL3D and XP was when design topped out. I still …

Moral: the UX "sector" needs to shrink by about 98%, and what remains should be contractors or agencies

This is beta hedging, it works on the assumption that when SPY performs positively, your risky basket will outperform SPY, but if there is some systemic risk-off event, your SPY sh…

Easily solved by a user configurable staleness value with some reasonable default. Google don't crawl the entire web in response to every query because for the vast majority of que…
