A McDonald's kiosk is a masterpiece of engineering perfectly designed to make as much money as possible. It's by no means lazily made or without afterthoughts or care. Every detail in the interface has was decided after tons of ex

Do you have an example query? Quotes for literal words work for me. Domain search was always with with site:domain.com and not quotes and works fine. I think bing/ddg removed that feature recently?

I strongly recommend installing Spectacle for Mac, which does window snapping with a hotkey. Apparently it's no longer maintained but works perfectly fine right now, and there are alternatives i haven't tried, like Rectangle.

She seems to assume that federations are supposed to be small groups where everyone knows each other. Has anyone claimed that? Email and the web are the perfect examplea of federations, because they are not controlled by a single company; t

Any simple heuristic has false positives, meaning they'll end up taking down legitimate sites that had repeated content for a good reason. Say, for example two sites quoting text from the us constitution. The second one to be crawled

There are billions of dollars on stake from both sides, search engines and spammers, in an endless arms race that has been going on for more than 20 years. Trust me, it's beyond naive to say fighting webspam is a low hanging fruit prob

Put ads before you have a product. Send people to a fake landing page when they click, just to see if there's interest at all.

Wow, I opened this to recommend Fall of Civilizations, but I'm glad to see it's already recommended by the OP.

Adversarial interoperability is the only solution. Make the new networks compatible with the current ones, even without their authorization.

Chrome mobile saves to mhtml if you download a page. Chrome desktop can save to mhtml if you select "webpage, single file". And of course they open the files fine. But it's not compressed, so you'll end up with smaller f

I can't believe I never thought of this. I keep a huge bookmark folder with "things I might need 10 years from now", but finding things becomes a torture if you can only search by the title and not the contents. And after a

How much does it cost to buy that "anonymized" data from grindr or tinder? I feel it could be really useful if I ever need to blackmail someone.

For some channels I only watch some of their content. RSS allows me to add filters based on the video name. Plus, my RSS client works like email, so I can mark as read or unread easily.

I don't think so... I've never seen the subscriptions tab skipping a video of the channels I follow.

by IndexPointer 5y ago
Me too. I thought I was the only one that still uses RSS for my YouTube channels. I could just subscribe to the channel and open the subscriptions tab on YouTube, but RSS allows me to add manual filters on my RSS client (blogtrottr), becaus

Just commenting to say that there are third-party reddit apps that are pretty good. Boost for Android is the only way I browse reddit anymore.
