Google is still really good with image search (while duck duck go is awful at it), I guess the ads team don't really care about image search that much to try to min-max it to death.

> So blaming Raghavan for what happened at Yahoo! is just stupid. He joined yahoo in 2005, if my memory serves correctly yahoo was already pretty much IBM-dead by then. The downfall of yahoo was due to the hard push of popup ads in the l

I think that a good portion of the problem is that there are groups involved in metrics: 1) People setting the metrics 2) People implementing/calculating the metrics 3) People working on improving the metrics (ie product work) 2 is spe

This is the number 1 reason to use macbooks instead of windows laptops at any job. Security compliance software is like a cancer on windows, macos has some of this kind of crap as well but is nowhere near as bad.

oh first time I heard of a different spelling for Daniel, but at least in all the countries I need to do business in it is the same spelling.

by DanielHB 3y ago
The spelling is important so people don't get it wrong when they have to write it down. It can be a bureaucratic nightmare to get this kind of thing fixed sometimes. For example my birth certificate had a typo in my dad's last nam

As someone named Daniel it is really nice that it is a common name in most European languages and never deviates in spelling. Please people give your children the most boring name possible.

I was sleeping 8.5-10h per day and still feeling extremely tired. Also had a lot of mental problems to the point I was thinking of going to a therapist (I thought it was work related). My doctor sent me to do sleep apnea tests and blood wor

In Sweden there are two types of ER, real ER and "närakut" which roughly translates to "near care". It works pretty well, the few times I had to go to närakut I waited less than an hour to talk to a doctor. Just wonderin

I once looked at Zendesk (the thing that powers most of those little customer support chat buttons on the bottom right of web pages), I was appalled at the size of bloat they push down to the browser. I don't remember exact numbers but

You joke but when something is really bad I make a point of saying it is "job security" for myself in front of my tech lead (and my teach lead's manager). It triggers something in their heads that "oh, if he quits we are

50% of the reason Kubernetes is getting so popular, devops people need k8 experience to move up in their careers and therefor your company is now using k8.

I think the problem AMD has is that they just don't have enough engineers and can't hire more because nvidia (an to a lesser extent Apple, AWS, Google and Microsoft) just gobbles up all people who have any experience with this sor

You joke, but relying on bluetooth could be reasonable as a redundant system, wires can break too. Probably more as a failure detection mechanism though.
