Nitpick, that's kind of a non example because the official Postgres docs let you swap versions more or less seamlessly. IME I will click the top result then click the correct version for my Postgres SE queries. 2 clicks, 0 scrolling.
Sure, but 1 click and 0 scrolling would be better!

Phoenix LiveView gives you excellent interactivity with backend rendering.
I desperately want to check that out when I have some free time. (In other news, I would desperately like some free time)
I recently watched the "Helvetica" documentary that was posted here a few days ago [0], where they briefly mention "Grunge Typography" [1], a seemingly dead-end branch of typography that, for some strange reason, became pretty popular for a short period of time. After some years however, consensus amongst designers formed that what they've created was a pile of illegible garbage, and realized that there was no other…
I really hope personal blogging becomes popular again!. Speaking of which, I still haven't found a really good alternative to the "horrible" WordPress for blogging. It has: - Integrated API, RSS - Tons of plugins - Accessibility, translations - Easy and powerful editor(Gutenberg) - Comments sections and forms w/ complete ownership and moderation - Easy data imports from multiple platforms. - Users and roles - 100% op…
I've been counting down the days until it's okay again to use . I think I have a lot more counting to do ...

People are still creating great stuff along these lines - you just won't find it through Google or Facebook or most of Reddit. Complex, interesting hypertext creations and web sites are still everywhere. But try typing "interesting hypertext" into Google or Facebook and see where it gets you. You can't search for something that's off the beaten track. This is where directories come back in. Check some of these out: *…
2020 has given us a lot of crazy stuff, so I guess I won't be too surprised if it also gives us the return of webrings :-) I'm calling it now, the hottest startups will be "disrupting search using artisinally crafted rings of websites"!

Schopenhauer's 19th century essay "On Authorship" has been a personal fave since discovering it last year: Writing for money and reservation of copyright are, at bottom, the ruin of literature. No one writes anything that is worth writing, unless he writes entirely for the sake of his subject. What an inestimable boon it would be, if in every branch of literature there were only a few books, but those excellent! This…
Well, we're making progress towards reducing if not eliminating profit through authorship.

Google has that, it's just stopped working. You'll end up with articles from 1997 that say they updated 4h ago. And the amount of seo garbage that gets through has polluted the remaining results. What would be really cool was if google could show what the results for a search looked like on a given day. Not the current algorithm, not any sites indexed since then, but what it looked like at the time. Going back to use…
Part of me wonders whether this is technically possible. I’m sure it’s an answerable question.
The other way would be to have the index and algorithm versioned, where you can target any instance of the algorithm against any version of the data.
