  • I am not a search engine engineer.

    Here are some things it might be though:

    It could be that the results you see first are cached on their servers, and expiring from that cache between your searches. however usually when something requested is pulled from a cache, the items lifespan in the cache is usually refreshed so it lives a bit longer.

    It could be that certain they are NOT cached at all, and certain sites are rate limiting the DDG crawler hitting them and returning info to you, so DDG takes them out of the results as they cannot confirm the site is alive. I noticed reddit disappeared from the results and we all know about Reddit and their APIs here.

    It could also be their ranking algorithm for results is not as deterministic as they want it to be, it could also be that way by design. Page ranking is a closely guarded trade secret, especially at big places like Google. DDG results will never match 1:1 with Google. Personally, I prefer DDGs results to Google.







  • I’ve never gotten past the second (or maybe third) zone of Barotrauma. usually I play with my brother, and we have a slew of mods that add new equipment and let you uninstall and reinstall equipment on subs, and we end up turning a rustbucket into a profitable cargo hauler with storage racks in every conceivable space and a wire up controller to manage the reactor for us. have you ever gotten to endgame content?



  • I’ll admit ignorance to the complexity involved, I had just thought that a sharpie would be less conspicuous than a bag full of QR code stickers if management were to search employees which I believe they do in amazon warehouses. Also the communicability of it, being able to tell others in different warehouses “fill in these squares on the QR code” rsther than distribution of stickers.

    Thanks for the in depth reply about feasibility of it though, very interesting!
