This being allowed shows the sad state Google is in - you search for a brand, get ads for a competitor? Search engine, my ass. You now effectively need to pay Google to keep your product relevant through ads, even when the user is specifica

Tabulator should support pretty much all those things, it really is a fantastic library.

I have been using https://github.com/burnash/gspread for a while now, very happy with it. Does Sheetfu do anything better?

Some of us don't want to be isolated. I have the choice of working from home, with complete freedom, but mostly choose to work from the office. I don't look to annoy others at work, I just don't like to be at home (unless I r

I have, sadly, given up. I can't stand watching/reading the news and feeling that I am quite possibly being manipulated, so I have completely given up. Anything I do read, I mistrust. I don't want to be ignorant towards what

I learned to touch type via https://www.keybr.com/ - Careful, you can get addicted to this site! All other software felt like a much bigger grind, with fixed lessons that didn't fit my shortcomings. keybr adapts to you

It might not have "rocked" the data privacy world, but it is having an impact on how businesses operate. A lot of businesses (big and small) were getting too cozy with collected data. With little regard to what was being collected

Hi, I can't really share the report itself (way too much of my own data in it), but the section on subsidence risk comes directly from this: http://mapapps.bgs.ac.uk/geologyofbritain3d/index.html

I have just received an environmental report for a property I am hoping to buy, which flagged up increased risk of subsidence. This is due to clay in the soil - which expands/contracts depending on temperature and water content. This i

Better not work for the web at all, if that's what worries HN users.

Most people here are incapable of understanding this. HN is full of people who's work is purely good and ethical :). I would love to be able to see the world through those eyes.

So what should the "finance" person do? Stop thinking in a financial way? Pretty sure the journalists like having a job, too. These ads are there because they work, savvy users might not like them, you don't, I don't. It

When I read these sentiments, I usually see it as people that naively believe the "badness" of the internet is limited to a selected list of players. If we could magically get rid of these players, you might as well shut down the

Because they have bills and wages to pay. They more than likely have tried different methods of monetisation as well, it just didn't work as well. Which is why this field is in dire need fir reinvention. It's terrible, but it work

That's not what I am saying. Any large web platform will use these tactics, the worst offenders being the ones on top of the chain. Even if you truly believe your platform or employer does not use these tactics, they are being positive

There is not a single large web platform that does not use complex tracking and targeting mechanisms. Affiliate Marketing is nothing compared to that.

by joaodlf 7y ago
Sure, but Affiliate Marketing is just marketing. It's not the best thing in the world, but it sure as hell isn't worse than the likes of Facebook, Google, etc.

I am more and more resonating with these feelings, for the good and bad. In fact, my own writing reflects that over the years: https://joaodlf.com/ , I started my blog with information regarding technologies like Spark, Cas
