Comment It's getting harder (Score 4, Interesting) 133

I'm frequently searching for things and needing to make sure a word doesn't show up in the results. The old time standard operators for excluding words not only don't work anymore but are now seen as something you are explicitly searching for, not against. Doesn't matter if you use Google or DuckDuckGo, the result is the same. It's adding lots of time to my efforts. I know part of this is because sites game the SEO by including the things you are trying to avoid which would exclude them from the results even if it is exactly what you are looking for but that's not the whole problem.

Comment Password managers (Score 2) 549

After Heartbleed I brought up my password manager and changed 140 passwords in a few hours. If it wasn't for my password manager I would have never even known I had 140 passwords to change.
These things are amazing. Randomized passwords for all my accounts. In the event of a catastrophic failure all I have to do is remember three passwords to get everything back. My email password. my cloud password and the password to the encrypted db of passwords. As a person who deals every day with people who "don't even remember setting a password for that" I wish more people used these.

We have about 80 years worth of recipes based on the current oven standards.
All of them would need revisions and people who don't cook that often wouldn't be aware of why their recipe failed if they used a new style oven.
Convection is great for crispy skin, not so great for custards.
