I use uBlock Origin and never see YouTube ads. I'm not sure which list does the magic, but whatever it is, it works. YouTube is pretty frustrting to use without the ad blocker.

The headline is clear and correct. Don't blame the headline for your unfounded assumptions, learn from them.

There was no tradeoff. They sacrificed schools and hospitals and got nothing. Turns out they were a day late and a dollar short.

The winning move was helping schools and hospitals recover. Sadly the FBI chose a different move.

Older programmers know the basics and they know how to learn new technologies. Matter of fact, that's precisely what they know. Those who don't move into management before they become "older programmers".

There's always a need for better learning tools. But tools for "old programmers" doesn't make any more sense than tools for female coders.

Have you looked at the service agrement? It says exacly this:

I've been here a long time and didn't switch the last two times. I'll switch this time and will support in whatever way I can.

Thank you!

The quick response isn't a reflection of how easy it is to change a page. It's a reflection of the millions of dollars government agencies have spent preparing for every potential shutdown over the past few years.

Long before the shutdown happened, government agencies stopped doing the people's work and instead started to prepare for a lapse in funding. Government inefficiency caused by the same people who are tasked with oversight to prevent wasteful spending.

The web sites were able to be turned on quickly, in part, because it started happening *before* the president signed HR 2775. OPM ordered government employees back to work the day before it was signed.

Yea, but it doesn't work. Google simply isn't able to do text searches anymore. They can return as many fast half-assed results as I can stand, but not one single accurate result.

Wanna get a list of pages that don't contain the test altavist? Simple just search for -altavista. Yea, doesn't work.

It's still the best you could hope for. Sure wish Google still had that technology.

If my search criteria isn't on the page, I don't want to see it. Can't google get some of that cutting edge 90's tech back? They have smart people, right?

The same reason everybody else has a rough time with it. It's hard. You wouldn't roll your own cryptography, don't roll your own date calculations.

"Denial-of-Service Attack Found In Btrfs File-System" didn't happen. A vulnerability was found. That's a big deal, no reason to obscure it.

Can Google invent a text search feature? You know, where you type words into a text box and Google returns a list of pages that contain those words? That would be cool. Can Google work on that next?

Gandi rocks, no doubt about it. However, they cannot protect a domain owner from the US government.

I have my domain there because they respect the rights of a domain owner far more than other registrars, but there's nothing they can do if the US government wants a domain in a US-hosted top level domain. When it comes .com, .net, or .org, NSI is all that matters. And unfortunately, they don't care about domain owners.

Sure, but it's not really a newspaper, it's a glorified blog. This was a big win for everybody involved.
If the snarkiness was in the print version of NYT, it would be noteworthy. As is, not much more than a cat fight.
