It's not so much 'the way they were', rather, I'd prefer to live in a small town with a butchers, bakers, and grocers, so that I'm spending my money in the local economy, and that I'm getting higher quality produce, and back to the original post, shops that are within reasonable walking distance. The number of towns or villages in my area that have this are vanishingly small.

In fact, my medium sized town (20-30,000 people) has no butchers or bakers left. It also does not have a town centre supermarket. It does however have McDonalds, Burger King, Starbucks, Costa, kebab shops, and so on. You can probably guess correctly, that my local town centre is like ghost town.

It is extremely depressing that the UK is becoming like this, whilst at the same time planning rules and regulations (or lack thereof) are encouraging the centralization of shopping habits into large supermarkets in the chase for profits by the house builders.
Depends which version you tried to run, the MacBooks without metal graphics are really bad on modern OSes, but they have made a lot of progress with the patches.
There is no universal answer to this. With everyone having varied amounts of available time, other commitments and responsibilities, neurodivergences and other factors, it is impossible to come up with some kind of formula that applies to all circumstances.

The best we can do is:

- Don't beat yourself up, and mind that negative self-talk when you don't get all the work done that you expected to.

- Document. A lot. You think you will remember Small Detail X. You won't, especially after switching to a different project for awhile. Leave yourself a good map.

- Stop comparing yourself or your progress to others. It's not as valuable as you think.

- Be realistic about your limits. We see a lot of mythology surrounding our heroes, painting them as these one-man armies or superhuman go machines. They aren't. They had help, usually from other people. A lot of other people.

- If it stops being enjoyable, walk away. Misery is not a character builder like grandpa might have implied.
Thanks for mentioning bangs! I'm having the same issue as in the parent comment and didn't realize you could use bangs to set the location.

Still not an ideal solution for me, because it requires me to plan ahead when typing the query (or rewriting it later, which is slower).
I really hope they keep lowering the unlimited searches price. I'm pretty sure I use way less resources than my $10 pays for, but I just wanted it for the peace of mind - if enough people like me subscribe, they'll probably be able to lower it even more.

alternatively, I don't know how deeply embedded the LLM stuff is in kagi, but I really do not need that, so maybe a plan without that, since that is the stuff that requires a lot of expensive compute.
It happened at both work and home - my region was always set to United Kingdom and it would still decide I want localised Australian results sometimes.

It may have been fixed since I last used it of course - I just didn't find the results provided by Kagi any better than DDG to keep paying.
Yay, it’s back!
That's a complete misunderstanding of what Tesla did. Having a component in the car that is 48V and having the whole car being on a 48V PoE architecture are totally different things. The sad part is that these company actually have the beginning of a 48V system but never actually pushed threw and did it all.

This is like when SpaceX landed a first stage and everybody was like 'DC-X did it SpaceX did nothing new'.

There is a reason lots of people, including experts are exited of what Tesla did here.
Or the first buyer keeps it for three years then needlessly throws it away, or (more likely) shoves it in a drawer somewhere until it gets thrown away ten years later.
That seems kind of odd, my iPhone 12 Pro has zero issues with things like that and it’s three years old.

I did upgrade a few weeks ago because the iPhone 15 cameras are amazing and I care a lot about that but I honestly had zero performance reasons to upgrade. I’ve never had an issue with a 5-6 year old phone and I always keep my old phone as a backup specifically for banking.

Kagi is mind blowingly good. It's almost unbelievable first time you use it. Like you forgot that there could be good, interesting and relevant stuff on first page of results.. I am mad at myself for not trying it earlier.
Make it into a musical instrument/recording and mixing machine.

I still support those directly (airwindows.com). I also produce VST2.4s that ought to work for your Linux versions of those same Macs. Fairly often they have useful things like digital optical ins and outs. My primary development is on an old laptop running Snow Leopard for just this sort of reason. I'm pretty sure you can get versions of Reaper (or the current version) for machines this old.

If you want to get fancy put a SSD in the old machine, which will get a lot more out of it.
Slow down pal. How am I supposed to have SSG and hydration and hook with such a simple setup!? I need my system to be webscale™, not maintainable with minimal moving parts.
Worth mentioning that it's only been "the future" for a little less than 3 years.

Safari on iOS added support for webp in iOS 14, in late 2020. Before that version reached widespread adoption you would have needed a jpeg fallback for your webp images.

AVIF is still not universally supported.

> There's nothing immoral or wrong with quitting a job and offering your services to your former employer at a better rate.

I don’t disagree with that. No one does.

> Even massive frauds and failures like Adam Neumann and SBF get way more chances than they deserve, when everyone knows what they did.

Are those supposed to be examples of people whose behavior we should emulate? Would you feel good about cheating and lying your way to the top?

> Don't bother going to work anymore then wait for the call. Tell them your contracting rate is 500$ per hour.

Here’s what the original comment said. It implies they should stop working and then blackmail their employer (if you don’t pay me exorbitant sums, I will let your critical systems fail). Since you’re a different person replying on behalf of that commenter, let’s hear your defense of doing that.
Be careful with the "100 free searches" limit, it's not always really 100.

If you click the "More" button at the bottom of the search results page it reduces the number of free searches left.

In hindsight, it probably means they're re-running the search again with different parameters, thus "using" another free search.

However it's not at all obvious to the user that asking to display more results from an existing list would do this. :(

Frankly, it seems a bit dishonest to me. Which is unfortunate, as I otherwise liked Kagi.
Bonus points for launching it in the anarcho capitalist wonderland /s "Prospera", a Charter City.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/k7a7ae/foreign-investors-are...

> A controversial law allows these experimental cities, known as “charter” or “model” cities, to use a legal right to land known as “eminent domain”, which permits a government, or in this case charter cities, to take over private property. The community is worried that it could be forced from its ancestral lands.

Of course, the model of Charter Cities is one the Tories wish to take to the UK - areas where laws and regulations would no longer apply, except the ones companies want.

I pirated it, liked it, then bought it three times (one copy for Wii and another for Linux I think and then later for iOS). I do feel times have changed. Not just because I have more disposable income, but the UX of buying digital games has improved massively (both for PC with Steam, on mobile app stores and on consoles).
If you have a block of code and feel that the block warrants an explanation, that block of code should receive a name instead. A block of code with a name. Behold: a function. Abstraction! Scary!

I do think things like types and functions should be documented, and on rare occasions there are tricks which can only reasonably be explained using code comments, but those are extremely rare.

I tried Kagi for a few months this year, and while the overall flavor experience was pretty good, it was not quite there yet for me in terms of result quality. I strongly believe in them and will absolutely try it again in 2024 though, the improvements they make are impressive and I actually miss some features (domain ranking and blacklisting is so great!). Can’t wait to see how the quality of results has evolved.
Unlikely, because the device I'm referring to here [0] is Android 13, and it plays rather fine on it.

> Rewriting a PR is a quick way to insult someone ...

Although I agree with this there is also another, more subtle thing going on. Rewriting the code that works and someone else is maintaining is a waste of the rewriter's time and is unprofessional. It also denies the original person an opportunity to learn because they don't see how lower quality code wastes time in practice (the time wasted in the refactor doesn't count because Abramov did it by initiative).

The clean code approach is better, but the issue here isn't code. It is that he was wasting his time while not providing useful feedback to the unnamed coder. He was making terrible choices. He isn't maximising the business or team outcomes. The best outcome is the original coder raising their standards and him going and working on something that needs work. He should have angled to that. Ie, the correct option was to do a code review.
But based on this it seems like the right comparison is between a three year old iPhone and a brand new mid-level android because they’ll last you the same amount of time, and three year old iPhones aren’t very expensive (though it depends on where in the world you live. In plenty of countries ~2yo iPhones cost the same as brand new iPhones at US prices, because you can use them for so much longer than local market android phones).

They use automated cameras on many roads and they will fine you for going over 30km/hr, from experience in Ireland. Although I think they are only that strict on problematic stretches. My mother got a fine for going 34km/hr in a 30 zone.
Seconding this. It feels like every other day I download an image, realize it's WebP and start bashing my head against the desk because it means opening it in GIMP to convert it to JPEG once again.

I've got several hundreds of GB of unused SSD storage, and I'm downloading it over a 1Gbps connection. Honestly, I really could not care less about those 150KB I'm saving.
I completely agree. The issue with the "clean" version of the code is that it's completely coupled together. If you touch one thing in the math code, it affects everything. At some point, it becomes easier to keep some duplicated code, point out the similarity using some code structure cues or comments, and over time, highlight any key differences using more comments.

A "clean code" approach to this kind of code doesn't handle evolving requirements well. It always ends up as a mess of helper functions with multiple code paths within depending on where the function is called from. This can sometimes be abstracted: some people might have noticed already the previous sentence is describing OOP polymorphism. But how would anyone know the exact requirements ahead of time? If we're in such an early phase, any attempt to "clean code" will only result in a bad abstraction, or in overengineering. The right approach is to do nothing, note the possible issue, and wait until more is known about the problem domain.
not sure if it's possible to set up on iOS, but in settings -> account they offer a "Session Link" that contains a token that will log you in automatically. if you can set that link as your default search you shouldn't have that issue any more.

I use it in private browsing mode so i can still use the nice search without having to log in every time.
Its the same with aluminum casting. The car makers used the technology once in a while in some specific parts, Tesla was like 'why not make half the car out of one casting'.

Tesla worked closely with a supplier, did lots of its own research and development and continue to work with a supplier to make the technology better over time.

This was considered stupid at first. This is now very widely copied. First automakers from China copied it. And now others are copying it as well. Even Toyota (who everybody believes are some kind of gods of manufacturing) are copying this now.

If you have been doing something one way for long enough, going into a radically different direction is hard. Your whole workforce knows about welding steel sheets together, and nobody knows anything about casting. Your whole workforce knows about V12 and the ecosystem for that.

Its hard to fundamentally change how you do things when you are producing millions of vehicles a year.

Ask HN: Does Email Open Rate not matter?
Since 2015 I have been receiving 1-2 (sometimes 3) emails per week from CodeTriage about my Github integration being broken. This has resulted in 718 emails to my gmail that I have not opened.

I was under the impression that companies that send many emails would track the open % rate and automatically unsubscribe users that weren't opening their emails in order to not hurt their reputation.

It looks like they've been using sendgrid since at least 2015. Wouldn't sendgrid step in at some point?

Well, McDonalds, Costa, etc. provide jobs to locals, especially young people. That's the local economy as much as other shops.

Independent butchers and grocers have mostly disappeared because they are expensive and less convenient. Places were you can still find some are usually either 'posh' or where the local demographics has special meat/dietary requirements, shall we say...

The advantage of an independent butcher is that you can order in advance or ask them to source/prepare special things (in my experience that's the only way to find fresh lamb kidneys, for instance). But that is less and less the case, and people are less and less interested. And, again, it is much more expensive.
It has been such a blast to play this with some friends. It's been like DND sessions without the stress of remembering things or DMing too hard. It's actually been difficult to get them back to the table because of just how well polished everything in this game is. Really a pretty excellent intro into TTRPG though one must bring a little bit less save scuming and realism to a real DM.

What an incredible piece of art that team made.
> Sometimes you will just have to accept that things take the number of lines they do and having them duplicate in different places is a feature as you (or someone else) might have the reasonable desire to change the individual parts.

The trick is always to figure out whether you are in that case or whether you are in the case where someone will want to change the shared logic everywhere at once. In my experience, the latter is vastly more common, and this is what DRY optimizes for.

They might have similar results in many cases, but they're very different things. For a start, if uBlock blocks a domain then it's a click away from accessing it just this once. On the other hand, it only helps in browsers it supports. On the gripping hand, uBlock Origin can block individual resources, not only entire domains.

I'm a happy user of NextDNS rather than a PiHole, but the rationale is the same: use DNS blocking to block stuff that you never want anything on your network to see, and use uBlock Origin for fine-grained blocking of the rest.

I wouldn't want to rely exclusively on DNS blocking, because it won't block at the right level of granularity. I wouldn't want to rely exclusively on uBlock Origin either, because it doesn't work everywhere I want to block stuff.
For me, Chatgpt / Bard and similar (Perplexity) has replaced 85 percent of Google searches so I feel Kagi will be a step backwards in this regard

All clinical studies are not equal so some nuance on the objective of the studies is probably important. My impression is that grant funded clinical studies tend to be earlier in development and more exploratory if interventional, or observational if larger (eg framingham study). This isn’t absolute, but the funding required to cover large definitive pivotal studies, and all pharm/tox and manufacturing needed for a drug approval is large and I believe is very unlikely to be covered by grants.
I agree NIH is essential and Pharma has some large issues, but I don’t believe NIH is teeing up loads of approvable drugs for industry to exploit.
Yeah I agree on that one, if I wanted results specific to where I physically am I'd append the city/country name to my search.

Example where this annoys me with Google: if I search for "gdb", the first result is a local burger place named GDB, and not the GNU Debugger
I imagine the reason we get all the AI garbage is ads. kagi downranks sites that contain a lot of ads, while google, who obviously gets their income from ads, pushes them. that alone is bound to make a massive difference.

there's more, of course. but it's plenty for me to decide that i have no problem paying my $10 a month to not get 8/10 results that are ads.

Well that's certainly a hot take. While I have no doubt the Tailscale team has some talented minds, I am not so naive as to expect a truly reimagined Internet—i.e. one that puts privacy, anonymity in first place, and removes the need for Cloudflare-like MITM—to come out of a government or private company, especially one that's fueled by grow-fast venture capital money.
As usual whenever Elon is involved people turn of their brains just so they can not admit that Elon or his companies did something well.

Nobody says this is the first time V48 has ever been used for anything. That literally just missing the point.

The point is that the whole architecture of the car will use PoE 48v.

And if you go and take apart these Mercedes cars you will see that the waste majority of all of the devices and the wiring use the exact same 12v architecture that all the ICE cars also use.

> Rewriting your teammate’s code without a discussion is a huge blow to your ability to effectively collaborate on a codebase together.

It's a mistake to believe that the code belongs to any one teammate. Code in a shared project is the project's code, not any individual's code.

Folks stuck on the idea that any given part of a project is "their" code would do well to look up the term "egoless programming" and start applying it to their work.

Perhaps it's related to visibility and a feeling of "fairness". I completely understand all of the things you wrote, and the corporate tax fraud is a MUCH bigger problem.

But for some reason when my neighbour told me she'd been lying about not being able to work for the last 12 years so she could collect Jobseeker's allowance (basically "unemployment insurance" for those in the US) it really stung and felt like I, personally, was paying for her.

I got a lot more conservative after I moved to the countryside and realized how casual fraud and tax evasion were (I was routinely asked to pay for several-thousand-euro jobs in cash, and tradespeople balked at me for wanting a receipt)

I joined a multiplier lobby on ps5. To my surprise, there was voice chat, and I spent the next eight hours playing through most of act 1 with some friendly fellows from across the world.

Eventually there was a sex scene, and the host graciously enabled the setting to let us all watch.

"Multiplayer voyeurism" wasn’t on my bingo card for 2023, but it was an interesting experience.

When I was 11 or so, I used to play StarCraft 1 custom games. Some of the maps rewarded the players by revealing a smutty image in the minimap if you won.

The person you're responding to mentioned them as "minimarkets which are really small". They still exist and are very important as a last resort thing, or for exotic stuff.

In France sometimes they're called "arab stores" or something along those lines, because they're often held by people of visibly foreign origin (tbf I've seen more Indian/Pakistani/Sri Lankan/Bangladeshi than Arab-held ones), and are great for emergency shopping on Sunday/late at night when you realise you're missing something, but also for exotic products you wouldn't find in a regular supermarket like exotic spices or even high quantities of rice.
