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 complaining about the choice of font in a…
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 weirdly infected employees throughout the…

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 connection is likely to render faster than…

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 over to a customer It also freezes in…

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 introspect this and refuse to run the…
Presumably they're at least 15 years away from integrating their email after the merger, going by typical dinosaur corp schedules
Serious question for fashionistas.. which of the modern frameworks integrate 'properly' with Closure Compiler? Not just minification, but structured so the compilation/code removal/constant…
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 shit hot salesperson and give them 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 "no, fuck you"
ZH is largely critical of crypto

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 usability has always been a bit of a…
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 love elements of 7 and 10, but honestly…
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 short will at least dampen if not fully…
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 queries it's unnecessary. For those where…
It knew which queries to run before I clicked, because those queries are baked in. Why did I have to wait for the app to do something it knew it had to do if someone clicked? Of course we can't make e.g. protein folding…
Thanks for replying. Precompute whatever you can I guess, but I'm guessing the app has parameterized queries and stuff like that which are hard to precompute. In that case even a cache or LRU list is fine, say…
Clicked into one of the demos, was greeted by around 10 progress spinners, possibly more. This instantly reminded me of some combination of Google Cloud's deeply mediocre console and waiting for a Jira page to render.…
I randomly flicked a few videos, the first segment I settled on was loaded with terminology from critical race theory. Instantly closed the tab
This is some of the disastrous Android rewrite leaking out into desktop, it's no small issue. Check out the Play Store reviews for evidence by now Mozilla's primary mission appears to be self-destruction
