Ever since it became about engagement rather than the right results, the writing was on the wall.
Fortunately this means that there are significant opportunities for search competition. The only thing you need to do is give better results than Google.
Just like all the search engines before Google, it too will become a footnote in the history of the internet.
Wow!
I’m guessing that WordPress will be forked soon …
Yeah, in the unedited version of my reply, the asterisk wasn’t detected as part of the URL which lands you at Sag A, not Sag A*.
This.
If you’re wondering why, this is the centre of our Galaxy. Of course if you’re planning on intergalactic travel, you might have some issues, but before you get too worried about it, exploring the current galaxy is going to take a while.
Edit: The link to the super massive black hole at the centre of our galaxy wasn’t working.
Hopefully this means that when I search for Kmart items I’ll finally only get Australian results for things I can actually buy, rather than stupid Google search results offering USA results, even when I tell it that I’m in Australia where Kmart is alive and well with apparently 301 stores in the country.
Here’s an example of me searching for “kmart sandles” on “google.com.au”
I remove the sticker, wash it under the tap and one bite at a time, eat it whole.
I read that you’re manually tagging them, so your process can be whatever you want to do.
For example, you can leave the images in their current folder structure and create a separate folder structure with symbolic links to an image, so in the character folder would be symbolic links to all the images like that. They also don’t have to be unique, an image can be in multiple categories.
Alternatively you can use a spreadsheet and generate lists there.
Finally there are plenty of photo album applications that allow you to tag images.
Walk into an Apple store and show the genius at the bar …
If you’re actually working out, nobody cares about what you look like and comfort is more important than any other consideration.
If you’re using the gym as a place to meet people, nobody you would actually want to meet cares about lines in your clothing.
In other words, the lines you’re concerned with have been put there by advertisers wanting to sell you more stuff.
Aww … shucks … giggle
True, the employee(s) here need to be across every aspect of the business, including cleaning the toilet and talking to CEOs and CIOs, not to mention do the accounts, chase debtors and write code whilst maintaining a sense of humour and getting enough sleep.
Yeah. I jumped through these hoops too and it created a company page for my company, with one employee, me, just so I could read someone else’s review on a different company.
Of course, now there’s a company page for my company that I don’t appear to be able to delete.
Your modem will likely keep connection statistics which will tell you how much data was downloaded and uploaded.
Ookla speedtest.net will give you an indication of your network speed. I have a cron job that logs the speed with their cli client every 5 hours and I use it to keep my ISP mostly honest.
The resulting data can also be used to map peak network congestion so you don’t end up with network buffering issues when you are watching the latest episode on your favourite streaming service.
Thank you.
Science communication is hard. If the audience is scientists in the field, the text is probably digestible, but for anyone else, it’s just not.
Note that I’m not saying anything about the content itself, but in my experience, considering who is reading is useful in most cases.
It is again beginning to feel rather dysfunctional…
And now in English?
Seriously, is this important information relevant to the general public who has no idea what this is describing?
I might also add that currently this word soup looks a lot like the gibberish coming from chatgpt…
Perl is the only language that looks just as incomprehensible before and after a rot13 transformation.
Python on the other hand is the only language that will cause your application to stop working because you mixed up tabs and spaces, even though it looks perfectly fine on your scr.
And lisp is hard to say if you have one.
Edit: aa -> after a
There are at least three legal ways to do this. CB radio, ISM frequencies and amateur radio. I say legal because the radio spectrum is heavily regulated because every transmitter affects everyone else to more or lesser extent.
You can buy CB or ISM band radios and get started.
Amateur radio is a better option in my opinion. There are many more frequencies to experiment with, people who can help and people to talk to.
Amateur licensing is different in each country, but an introductory licence is often no more than a weekend course and exam. I know of nine year olds who have done this. It’s not hard. No Morse code required either.
With such a licence in hand you can use things like JS8Call, CODEC2, Olivia, WSPR and hundreds of other protocols to communicate using just a radio and a computer.
Disclaimer: I’m a licensed amateur in Australia and have been since 2010. I hold an introductory licence, here it’s called a Foundation licence, and have been having an absolute blast with all that I can do.
If you have specific questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
