I use Inoreader's "Save to Inoreader" bookmarklet which lets you tag and save the link which can be accessed across devices. Their search works well enough on the saved links and they have a very generous free tier.

Wow, I just tried it and had no idea. I can kind of understand now why there is so much hate towards the "orange site" on twitter and some other spaces.

Makes sense. Is there is difference between [dead] and [flagged]? At the time of my comment, I could see the top post. Now it shows [flagged] with showdead off and [flagged][dead] with showdead on.

Also if all this is documented somewhere, please feel free to point me to it. I couldn't find any on my own.

Why not delete the comment too, since it is completely unnecessary?

A lot has been already said about this unfortunate situation. I would like to mention that pinning all this on brigading by reddit is very disingenuous. There was a lot of hate directed towards actix and Nicolay on twitter by some very prominent members of Rust community also who were discussing removing actix from the awesome-rust list so people stop using it. Let's not represent a community by their worst members.

> QA "leads" would probably cost a fraction of that

While I agree with the sentiment here, there is no need to diminish the work of QA people. They are a very important of the development process. A good QA is hard to come by and I often see them single-single handedly carry a project to completion despite working with a team highly incompetent "developers"(see what I did there).

Shouldn't you be using feature detection[1] here anyway? Making browsers unsupported in a blanket fashion via user-agent is the exact thing people should stop doing.

I have also been doing something similar for a few years to distract myself, reading, music, podcasts, long running tv shows, smoking weed, taking a longer route when leaving work on friday which does not have many restaurants/clubs, you name it.

But it still leaves me feeling empty and unfulfilled. And I can feel the problem only getting worse gradually. I have started hating the things I used to love, silence makes me anxious hence I need music pretty the whole time I am awake. Reading or learning anything new seems pointless since I don't know what to do with the new found knowledge/skill. The feeling of "no one cares" amplifies when you are alone. The advise of just "go out more" or "connect with new people" is not much helpful when you have terrible social anxiety and never learned to interact with people.

In short, distracting yourself might help in short term, but it is not a sustainable solution.

Oh my, last 100 or so commits are mostly just Update README.md.

> Is being a student so hard in India that failing an exam causes people to commit suicide?

The problem here is definitely bigger than a software error. For students from small towns or poor family, education is their only shot at a better life for them and their family. You grow up in an environment where failure is simply not an option. I was once one of them. The cost of failing is incredibly high. Kids at this age should not be under such pressure.

Agreed. As much as I like plain text email personally, having inline images etc. is really helpful sometimes.

The page footer might interest you. It directly answers your question.

Quoting

  "But if plaintext is so good, why is this page written in HTML?" 
  This is a reference document, not an email, you twit.

What is most interesting to me is that we are talking about this in open now, we have accepted that this is the new normal.

I might be wrong but I think Ublock origin does not block google analytics, atleast with default settings. I have installed ghostery for that. Will check and confirm.

The repo author has some pretty interesting rust projects. Worth checking out.

What you need, in my opinion, is python docs and not a book. Python official docs has a tutorial[0] and and a library reference[1] section. The tutorial gives you a clear introduction to language syntax and general coding style and ends with a brief overview to standard library. After that you can keep the library reference "under your pillow" and refer to it as you need.

I found this the best way to start with python. YMMV.

nbval does something similar to what you want.

Their "I am not a robot" captcha is in similar vein. If I am training your machine learning models by manually clicking on pictures, I need access to the trained model.

I have refused to use dozens of service which required me to click pictures to prove that "I am not a robot" and sent the service provider an email informing them of my decision. I would urge everyone to do the same.

You right click an element, select block element, in the dialogue that opens, you select pick, click on the element you want gone permanently, preview how the site will look and then click create.

Maybe Google is not trying to censor them, but just changed their algorithms to not show antipolygraph when searching for polygraph as said by someone in the google forum. Their site #1 result when searching "antipolygraph".

Though it looks like unmaintained, I use watchdog[1] for automatically running build and test commands on file change.

Yeah I have tried verbatim and it does seem to help a little in some cases. In others, it either shows totally irrelevant results or does not turn up any search results.

I wish I could do a grep style search on the web after removing all the social media and popular brands.

> crawling my top 20 sites and a search depth of 2 for linked sites + wikipedia + IMDb + Wiktionary

I have been thinking something along similar lines. One thing I wanted to add is independent (static site)bloggers and content creators, forums like HN and reddit, stackoverflow etc. But I have no idea how to find these bloggers. Maybe whitelisting the sites to be indexed is the solution?

Everytime I a stackoverflow answer links to some really amazing blog post, it saddens me that google wouldn't have shown me that result even if I searched the exact same topic of the blog post.

They definitely have. Removing the main keywords from my query is the most frustating thing ever. I just want them to do kind of "dumb" search, without any machine learning magic about 95% of the time.

I swithed to DDG sometime ago and it is way better atleast for me. I still switch to google for localised information(local restaurants etc.) though.

Not to attack you personally, but it seems like you have never written software professionally. All the available packages you mention quickly become useless as soon as you have a use case that is not in the package's, often very short, README. More often than not, you need functionality which is at the intersection of what is provided by 2 or more packages with no easy means to make them work with one another nicely, so you basically have to write one for yourself. And when you remove all these useless packages, you get a set of useful packages which are not unique to javascript but can be found in any mature language.

Off topic - I am actually working on a framework to automate the process of self-hosting these services on some VPS. I might open-source it once it is in usable shape. But some things just have no real alternative(like maps and android)

I also did it some time ago, but I have a feeling, with nothing to backup my claim, that they still log, store and analyse all my activity but just don't show it in the dashboard. I don't know how targeted ads are (because of ad block) but youtube doesn't suggest me anything based on watch history so I guess I might be wrong here.

> The case was remanded to a federal court in California to determine how much the Alphabet Inc. unit should pay.

No Google is not going to pay billion dollars, not yet. Very clickbaity title.

But what are they going to do with this information if they can't show us ads based on them. Collect and target all you want, I am not seeing any ads. If 60-80% users does this, what will be the point of collecting data anymore.
