It doesn't matter if you're a Junior or Senior Developer, everyone uses Google to search for solutions.

What a lot of people don't know, is how to effectively search for the right answer.

Let me help you improve your Google search skills with these 16 tips!

🧵🧵🧵

1. NOT Logical operator:

You use this operator to exclude results if it contains the operand using "-" e.g.

javascript -frameworks
2. OR Logical operator:

This is a binary operator that returns a result if it contains both operands or one of them e.g.

(angular OR react) javascript tips
3. AND Logical operator:

This is a binary operator that returns a result containing it's operant on the left and right hand-side e.g.

html AND css

This returns a result if both terms are in the search result.
4. Exact match:

Use quotation marks to return an exact match in your search result e.g.

python tutorial "full course"
5. Wildcard:

Use the wildcard "*" placeholder to return a search result containing anything in your phrase e.g.

"the * javascript tutorial"
6. Site specifier:

This is probably the most used one. Using "site:" will return searches from that specific URL e.g.

site:https://t.co/c7XaH1z0RU S3

The S3 section of the amazon docs will be returned.
7. File specifier:

Using "file:" returns a search result based on the file type e.g.

filetype:pdf javascript tutorial
8. Related specifier:

Using "related:" returns the root domain of similar websites e.g.

related:https://t.co/cBQZlrwV0X
9. Map specifier:

Using "map:" returns the location of your search e.g.

map:silicon valley
10. Cache specifier:

Using "cache:" returns a cached version of a website e.g.

cache:https://t.co/DJSbcG5Khv

A webpage indexed by Google will have a cached version available on Google's end.
11. Intitle specifier:

Using "intitle:" returns results that contains your searched word in the title e.g.

intitle:best vscode extensions
12. inurl specifier:

This is a specifier that returns results containing its operant in the URL e.g.

python inurl:tutorial
13. define specifier:

This will display the meaning of a word in a card-like result e.g.

define:entrepreneur
14. intext specifier:

Find pages containing a certain word (or words) somewhere in the content e.g.

intext:best way to learn python
15. blogurl specifier:

Find blog URLs under a specific domain e.g.

blogurl:https://t.co/cynZoYUFJ3
16. movie specifier:

Find information about a specific movie e.g.

movie:avatar

(1) Some haters of #Cardano are not only bag holders but also imperative developers.

If you are an imperative programmers you know that Plutus is not the most intuitive -> (https://t.co/m3fzq7rJYb)

It is, however, intuitive for people with IT financial background, e.g. banks

(2)

IELE + k framework will be a real game changer because there will be DSLs (Domain Specific Languages) in any programming language supported by K framework. The only issue is that we need to wait for all this

(3) Good news is that the moment we get IELE integrated into Cardano, we get some popular langs. To my knowledge we should get from day one: Solidity and Rust, maybe others as well?

List of langs:

#Cardano

(a) Last but not least, marketing to people with Haskell, functional programming with experience and decision makers in banks is a tricky one, how do you market but not tell them you want to replace them. In the end one strategy is to pitch new markets, e.g. developing world

(b) As banks realize what is happening they maybe more inclined to join - not because they would like to but because they will have to - in such cases some development talent maybe re-routed to Plutus / Cardano / Algorand / Tezos

We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.

Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)

It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.

Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
