Tech results have gotten progressively noisier and less useful. It's become mostly worthless I usually don't even bother and just debug the source of the thing

I usually don't even bother and just debug the source of the thing giving me problems now. Thank God for open source. It's kind of ridiculous though
- Gigachad 5y agoThe only noise I have noticed is SEO spam sites copying posts from stack overflow or GitHub. But usually these only come up when almost no content on the topic exists so it didn’t really deprive me of anything.
- kristopolous 5y agoSpeaking of sed, I kinda wish there was some kind of regex like query you could search with beyond booleans and ranges I know the scalability of PCRE sounds crazy and I'm not asking for that, but maybe some thing is possible that'd be useful for errors that mention things specific to you but you want to just say "\w+" there GitHub has something that's pretty flexible but for some unknown reason it lacks a very extremely obvious "hide [] exact [] near duplicates" setting so you don't get 25 pages of the same thing over and over again. This could be trivially done in a greasemonkey plug-in with JavaScript and fetch() and actually if I wasn't already in bed I'd probably write that right now
