I’ve been having better results with searx than ddg for the past month or two. Especially because ddg seemed to have forgotten what to do with quoted text.

My wish for Ocaml is that it could somehow be popular enough to have more… casual users, let’s say. I enjoy playing with it more than any other language I’ve run into, but everyone else falls so deeply into it that I don’t generally follow their discussions very well. (Maybe I’ll fall in deep myself in time, but it remains to be seen.)

Todd Weaver is such a con artist.

Thank you for this. I’d never looked into this far enough to learn about organizations working to make a difference here.
> you should feel ashamed for it. If anything you should feel shame
Trying to guilt-trip or shame people on HN for their views is absolutely against the HN guidelines[1] - "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation" "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive" "When disagreeing, please reply to the argument" and so on.
You guys are probably aware that what you end up with is a safe space for nazis.
If I could, I would downvote anything that does not increase the signal-to-noise ratio. In the last 1-2 years, there has been an upward trend in reddit-like comments like "Yes!", "That sucks", and smart-ass/low-quality oneliners that are supposed to be funny.
if only those comments could just disappear from HN.
I know sometimes on Reddit I would reply to people with something very short when all they’d been getting were lots of downvotes, or even some upvotes, but I felt they needed some support through actual human communication instead of just the blank emptiness of votes, and yet I didn’t have anything detailed to say.
I’m not any kind of downvoter because it’ll take me a decade to have enough internet points to be permitted to contribute in this way.
I like how they get halfway through the article before deciding it could also be a raven. And talk like it would just not be possible to distinguish one from the other.
Do you recognize that this is subjective? YouTube is way better than TV, imo.
When I go to youtube, I'm looking for something.
But I will see the front page of crap in my peripheral vision and wonder about the millions of people who click on that garbage. Sometimes I'll even look at the names for a second and think how it's the same few names always, and how crazy that they somehow get all the attention in the world for some nonsense.
For that matter, now I see people use the word "influencer" as if it sounds perfectly respectable to them, and it shocks me every time.
The business Dell laptops blow anything lenovo has ever made out of the water in terms of specs, build quality, and serviceability. Also Dell’s bios is way better and easier to do stuff in. I’ve had a t420 and I thought it was crap compared to the Dell business laptops. The cooling, plastic casing material, and serviceability just isn’t there. On the T420 my palm rest cracked and to replace it you pretty much had to fully take apart the laptop to get it off. ifixit rated that particular repair at a pretty high difficulty, so instead I took the reusable components out, binned it, and used a Dell latitude.
Currently I don't own a Dell business laptop however. Right now I'm using an Intel NUC Laptop and it does pretty good.
