( rimshot ) But to the actual question of anybody actually getting this done, I still don't see the reason why. Yes, these things can be done; but for what purpose ? Like, is there a professional advantage?

I see, I apologise. Although, I still don't see that the original comment made responds to the main point that the writer makes, that Google has a responsibility because their data, correct or not, is presented to such a huge number of

Because not everybody needs all the stuff that comes with MinGW? Why install all that stuff if they don't intend to use it, just to get a package manager designed for another platform? Apart from the fact that the MinGW port of pacman

I still can't see the link to individuals using DDG as an immediate or relevant solution to the problem discussed by the author. The comment, to my eyes, came off as flippant.

Even better, the latest QEMU can now run Mac OS 9.2.2 with sound, networking, and excellent speed.

Have you tried QEMU in the last 3 months? They've really ironed out a lot of things, and you can now run Mac OS 9.2.2 with sound and networking. I run it to play a few old games and open old ClarisWorks documents.

This comment does not correspond with the content of the article. The blog writer is discussing the way that Google's algorithms are faulty, presenting false information quite high in search results. This has little to nothing to do wi

This comment doesn't correspond with the content of the blog post. It relates to Google's algorithms; one's personal choice of search engine does not change the fact that the results Google shows are ultimately seen by more e

We did think about not having pin codes or Touch ID enabled, but there are enough kids visiting my grandparents that the one thing we're afraid of is them deleting their files, mail, sending messages, etc. Thankfully, none of them forg

I've a 27" iMac with a 5K display. I don't think I'd want anything larger as you're supposed to sit close to your display rather than have it at a distance, and if I ever need more screen real estate, I change the s

There's a lovely piece of software called SensibleSideButtons to deal with that. Back in the day, everybody used USB Overdrive to overcome OS X's shortcomings with the mouse. Alternatively, BetterTouchTool is a nice little piece o

In case anybody's wondering, Google Translate says: The fragmented reading brought by social media has really affected our lives. I am now consciously avoiding the instant social platform, and important things will be solved by mail.

This. When you try to tell people this, especially here on HN, they say "well, people should just change to suit you or they're not worth contacting". The arrogance of the technically minded can be astounding; it took ten yea

Yep, and I'd say the masses, who only really came to the internet with the advent of web 2.0, only know how to do social media the new way, not the classic way. Even technical users seem to want to move away from email for more than of

I don't understand how this comment relates to GP. Whether people just want a DDG skin for Bing doesn't really address GP's points that (A) the article failed to mention this, and (B) failed to consider its implications.

It may be sufficient, but sufficient isn't the same as ideal. What people have come to expect of social media, of forums, etc. does not translate particularly well to email. Yes, it can be done, but it's not going to be how people

It doesn't matter how many clicks it is. Email is one of the few sanctuaries away from mass social media. People are not expected to know how to do mailbox rules, nor should that ever be forced upon them. That is not the reason why the

It's a shame, too, because the technical reasons they described were all completely sound — but are no reason for them to have thrown the baby out with the bathwater.
