I was confused by the legends between the first and second image?
Both have p=2 and p=4 yet look different, I believe that this is wrong, as the sentence before the second image states "increasing p". Hope I'm not missing something
> Although the survey is not statistically representative of Nature readers or the scientific community at large
I found that the survey seems to have been advertised for with "Has Bluesky replaced X for scientists?" according to this article from Jan 14 [1].
This attracts people who switched more I think.
So the 70% figure is nothing than hot air.
It is still interesting seeing the positive sentiments and reasons for switching analyzed.
You are generalizing. Google and big providers do that, usually (US)services that need to cater to the whole world.
But a huge part of the normal web still uses and _needs_ preferred language. No one wants to be forced to use geolocation.
Just one very common example are info pages for sightseeing, they are usually available in all languages that people commonly visit from and just work if you browse to them. Not to mention that geolocation would be useless anyway in that case.
It would be nice if Google actually used the preferred language. They don't give a shit. I'm still getting maps and other stuff in local language based on IP.
Yep. So much for "built for the web".
While I know that a lot of software is only tested on Chrome and Safari, I would expect different when marketing as being web-based.
Thought the same.
It is clear that this presentation is definetely biased towards showing the problems of standing workers, as there haven't been any negative options about sitting presented.
Unfortunately, while medically known and even legislated (forced breaks), problems of sitting workers are still widely ignored (often by themselves too) until too late or trivialized.
Can anyone explain why there wasn't any BGP activity on the Finland-Germany systems when the cable broke, while for Lithuania there was a massive spike?
Unfortunately it's been a long time since I learned about BGP, if anyone could help out here I'd be grateful.
Each BGP hop represents an ISP so when an ISP reroutes traffic internally there's no need for changes to external BGP announcements. Clearly ISPs in the Baltic region have multiple paths and don't depend on any one cable.
And project specifying "requires python 3.X+" instead of Version X to Y is also a major culprit I often encounter.
Most of the times it will not work with the newest shiny python, which I only notice after already installing it and then having searched search the Github issues.
That happens to me all the time. It helped cement my habit of binding the python version to the project with direnv and a flake.nix so I end up switching to the right version when I cd to the project dir.
The measure of success of a search engine is how quickly I leave it with the info I want in hand.
I too find this a bit strange. Downranking results that would otherwise be naturally highly ranked seems only to inhibit the operation of the search engine.
Yes, people aren't going to use a search engine that politically skews the results. It will end up as a tiny website for a very narrow niche of person, similar to eg Mastodon.
> I find it rather concerning their vision of a better search involves deciding what is good and bad
the entire purpose of a search engine is to do this, you've been grossly confused about the entire space if you think this isn't exactly what everyone is trying to do.
Yes, but it usually isn't "good or bad" in the moral judgement sense. Not to mention the many logical flaws involved with trying to make such prioritization. If I'm searching for say desert eagles refusing to return any gun related content and only giving me birds isn't helping anything or anyone.
Although come to think of it I'm surprised that I haven't heard of any attempts of fundamentalists to make "moral" search engines that do things like exclude evolution.

Fortunately the Internet Archive crawler has already continued (confirmed by Jason Scott), the new information is just not yet represented in the Wayback Machine.
Considering the importance of events currently happening around the world (wars, elections, ...), that's very good. (although I'm not sure how extensive its coverage is)
However, all the archiving efforts by individuals using Save Page Now or the API are still halted.
