"Minors". "Miners" are people who work in mines; that should not fit high school students since child labor laws were passed.

But also, your argument here seems flawed to me. Students aren't safe in high school, so we shouldn't worry about them being safe in college? Um, how about we work toward them being safe both places?

Going out on a limb, but guessing that the chief hurdle a company like Kagi faces is willingness to pay. I'm going to guess the 'this is a great product, but I just can't bring myself to pay more than 20¢ per year for search' crowd is crowded in Linux. (I may be totally wrong on this!)
haha, nice catch, thanks for the smile. :)
I've wondered about that. In a series of sci-fi books (the lost fleet series, starting with Dauntless), our intrepid heroes bombard military bases with BFRs. Big fucking rocks. Which are tungsten slugs coated with ceramic I think.

These are fired from light hours away at approximately 0.2 to 0.3 c. I had assumed that something going so fast would just disintegrate if it hit an atmosphere head on? The projectiles are described as "increasing velocity" as they approach, and they strike with gigaton effects. I remember reading an xkcd that showed something traveling so fast in atmosphere would cause huge explosions from air turned into plasma.

Fairer, but that's probably the point and tone you should have quoted with then. ;)

I would probably concede that it depends on context - for devs paid at the top of the market to simply churn stuff out factory-style there is less justification for self-improvement on work time.

For the majority though there is always give and take between responsible employees and employers, and building skills as discussed is normal.
Feels a bit unfair to compare art to bikes.

Genres in music aren't just about splitting hairs—they're about expression, identity, and connection. Just like how "gravel bikepacking bike" tells you what experience someone is after, music genres help people find the sound they're seeking. Yeah, sometimes labels do get excessive, but they help us share and understand each other better.
I switched to Kagi long time ago and I haven’t think about Google ever since.

Part of the answer, IMO, is that F/OSS surfs the delta between the individual and the group. Projects are an individual or small team effort that, per some hand-wavy statistical distribution, have some potential for traction.

The group needs stability and predictability. Hence all the pesky laws and economics that individuals generally disdain.

Cutting out the middle-man is excellent. One could pine for more stability and predictability, but that implies some governance.

THOUGHT: Maybe, as the greyhair population increases, trusted Devs who are inclined can move toward a governance council, and offer oversight of a resource pool (implying a non-Dev staff for the beancounting chores). This is one of those Herb Sutter ideas where the "difference between theory and practice may be greater in practice than in theory". But the basic idea is to leverage the wisdom of those who've Been There but don't intend to mash keys until the destructor call.

Maybe. Kind of impossible to know until we see launch costs but you could make a much cheaper upper stage than they have if you wanted disposable. Trick with that is you need a payload heavy enough to justify it. Has SpaceX talked much about a disposable upper stage version of the system?

I don't put a huge emphasis on credentials. If someone is capable and talented, a degree doesn't change that. However, if they were able to complete an engineering degree (or insert analogous degree from any other area) then they have demonstrated an aptitude and capability that others have not.

The people who couldn't create their keypairs may have had the raw material, but they were trying perform at a level they weren't yet capable of - they couldn't google a simple task and follow instructions. They needed to go back to square zero and learn basics when they were in a graduate program. And because the graduate program was dumbed down, they weren't going to learn the basics in the program.

Whilst it may smell of ChatGPT/Claude, I think the answer is actually simpler.

Look at the authors of the blog, search LinkedIn. They are all based in India, mostly Bangalore.

It is therefore more likely to be Indian English.

To be absolutely clear, for absolute avoidance of doubt:

This is NOT intended a racist comment. Indians clearly speak English fluently. But the style and flow of English is different. Just like it is for US English, Australian English or any other English. I am not remotely saying one English is better than another !

If, like me, you have spent many hours on the phone to Bangalore call-centres, you will recognise many of the stylistic patterns present in the blog text.

What you're describing with airplanes already happened. Large airplanes used to land on the water, which incurred a mass and aerodynamic penalty for the airplane but was very cheap to operate airfields ("fields"?) for; it only required a flat lake or harbor which was already there. The switch to landing gear allowed airplanes to be more optimized but requires more infrastructure expenditure for large aircraft.

When you refer someone, you’re putting your own reputation on the line. If the person turns out to be a bad fit or incompetent, the referrer’s opinion and judgement loses value.

Why are your friends subjecting themselves to spending their own time interacting with strangers and risking their own reputation by recommending someone they don’t know? For what? A slice of the under 5$ a month per user, which would make the referral even less valuable? I doesn’t make sense to me.

As someone who uses Orion as their daily driver, I'll admit I'm somewhat confused by why Kagi isn't staying mission focussed. That said, it may be the case that they're a premium company for a small, well-defined niche. In that case, broadening the service offering makes sense--it's what Apple did.
yes, working from home is one of the great solutions if you want a work-life balance. In my country, the term work from home became popular when the pandemic hit at the beginning of 2020, and til now several company (mostly tech, blockchain, and finance) still doing it. But honestly, if you asking about productivity working from the office is still a better choice.
> That they will probably get to 0 cases. (he was wrong, but this prediction was made fairly early on when the data looked like this:

This was an incorrect interpretation of data that did not account for reporting lag in case numbers, which were actually increasing. It was a bad statement, a bad interpretation of data, and poor judgement to post it.

"Kids are essentially immune" and "Kids seem to be less affected" are two different statements. There are thousands of child deaths associated with COVID-19.

In March of 2020 we had very little characterization of this virus and its effects. Whether predictions were mostly right or mostly wrong, I think a prominent public figure making definitive statements about probably trending to zero or kids being "immune" was irresponsible. If nothing else, to me it makes him look dumb considering how much he downplayed the impact of the virus itself, how much he vilified the 'panic', and how many millions of deaths followed those statements.

> He wanted to keep factories open and for people to be allowed outside their homes.

Most people (in the US at least) were not trapped in their homes, that is an exaggeration. He wanted his factory to be kept open. I'm not sure whether he was right or wrong on that, but given that his opinions were based on at least some bad interpretations of data from above I don't think it was well considered. Basically all of his statements on COVID seem to correlate with a personal motivation to keep his factory and business running, rather than a consideration of actual public health impacts.

Anyway, my point above was not really to legislate what he was and was not correct about. My point was to highlight that his public "turn" into making strong political statements and clashing with government administration was not a new thing that started recently during the Biden administration. Right or wrong he very much clashed with the government response to COVID in 2020 and there's a fairly direct line you can draw between that clash and many of his current statements and positions.

This is yet another myth:

The "Woolyness" of AM broadcast (at least in America) is due to the stations purposefully tailoring their audio processing to suit typical cheap AM receivers. And this in turn is because designers of cheap AM receivers fit narrow filters instead of using noise reduction techniques, eg a good outside antenna.

There was a period (in the rest of the world) where high quality AM receivers had a narrow/wide switch to give better audio response to stronger signals.

The good news is that modern SDR receivers usually have selectable bandwidth on AM so as to derive the full transmitted audio. And many of these have AM stereo decoders as well.

If you listen to a good quality AM broadcast (eg Gov AM stations in Australia) you will hear audio which are very hard to tell from FM audio.

Go back and read the many high-quality AM tuner articles in the electronic hobby magazines from the past.
Categorization, or ontology, is a fundamental human activity that can be applied to pretty much any field or niche. I often think of chemistry in this context: there's a big chunk of it that is about classifying substances and systematic nomenclature. The name of compound alone conveys a ton of information!

By naming things, we unlock all sorts of superpowers for studying, remixing, remembering, sharing knowledge, and creating derived stuff.

However! I confess I was sharing your sentiment... In my case I think it is a reaction to how we are constantly bombarded by algorithmically chosen content these days. There’s something beautiful about organic discovery, even if it means you won't be exposed to EVERYTHING that you MAY ever enjoy.
A garbage collector really takes away a huge amount of cognitive overhead. In doing away with it, Rust requires that you understand the borrow checker and lifetimes, even if minimally due to extensive use of .clone() in your early code. This ties into all of the different kinds of strings in Rust from str to string to vec[u8], etc.

Unlike Go that only really requires experience in general programming to become rapidly productive, Rust basically requires that you read The Book in its entirety before you even think about applying that knowledge in production. There are just to many interdependent concepts to hand wave away the prep time. It all (mostly) makes sense once you've familiarized yourself with the basic concepts, but it's a training step you simply cannot skip without inflicting a fair amount of pain on yourself and others.

Show HN: Sublime-Text Syntax Highlighting but for the command line
Hi HN, I'm new to the community, and after some lurking around from the shadows, I decided to debut with this project.
It surely needs to be refined, but it is usable.
Personally, I find it very useful and I always wanted to have something like this, but it would have been rather difficult and pointless IMO to create my own syntax highlighting and color scheme format, only to then be forced to also write many different syntaxes from scratch.
So I thought, hey, Sublime Text is probably one of the most used text editors and already has many syntaxes and color-schemes already implemented, why reinvent the wheel! And so sublhighlight was born...
Feedback is highly appreciated!
Obscure facts ...

On the Sinclair computers (incredibly popular in the UK, the BASIC was not written by Microsoft) it was in fact possible to predict where the program would be loaded, so a very popular place to store machine code was in a REM statement. This also had the advantage that you could save the machine code by saving the BASIC program.

On the ZX81, the first byte of the payload of a REM statement at the beginning of the program was at address 16514, hence:

RAND USR 16514

was the command to run the machine code. (RAND set the random number seed and was just used as a convenient way to turn the USR function into a BASIC statement. The contents of the BC register were the return value from USR).
As airlines rely more on hubs and connecting flights, I think airports need to be focused around getting people from terminal x to catch their next flight at terminal y, as it's often a short time period.

In big companies they never just "hire a guy or two"; the bus factor would be atrocious in this case, not to mention vacations and such. The minimum unit of hiring is one team, about five people five or take. So the difference they are looking at is either hiring a team of Postgres people or forcing everyone on one existing team to learn Postgres deeply. From this perspective, standardizing on infrastructure makes more sense now.

The basically-no-authorisation arrangement is somewhat common for modern bluetooth devices.

It's problematic for things like keyboards used for entering passwords - but if my next door neighbour wants to snoop on my living room thermometer or someone wants to snoop on my heart rate strap as I jog past their house? It doesn't seem to be much of a problem, in practice.

In the bad old days of bluetooth, loads of devices without screens would just hard code the pairing code to 000000 anyway. So it wasn't adding much security anyway. Unlike internet-connected devices, it's not exposed to a billion griefers from around the globe at any given moment.

My experience is the opposite. I spend a lot more time in a debugger when I work with golang than when I'm working with rust. Sure, there's a learning curve with rust's borrow checker, but once you figure out how to use it I find rust to be a much more "flow state" development experience, with less interruptions of the form "what is this program actually doing and why?"
