Programming Note: Offline Thursday For Yom Kippur 5782

This is just a programming note that I will be 100% offline starting Wednesday night (September 15th) through Thursday night (September 16th) for Yom Kippur. I am scheduling stories on Yom Kippur, anything posted would have been written prior to Yom Kippur. We have a white theme going up today around 3pm ET through all of Yom Kippur (as a reminder, so check it out).

Microsoft is testing a new "compact view" in the Bing search results interface. It is a toggle you can turn on and off that makes the search results page, um, more compact.
