Not just potential bugs, there'll be definite security failures.

Changing the line endings can invalidate signatures over plaintext content. So an email MTA, for example, could never do so. Nor most proxy implementations. Then there's the high latent potential for request smuggling, command injection, and privilege escalation, via careful crafting of ambiguous header lines or protocol commands that target less robust implementations. With some protocols, it may cause declared content sizes to be incorrect, leading to bizarre hangs, which is to say, another attack surface.

In practice, retiring CRLF can't be safely performed unilaterally or by fiat, we'll need to devise a whole new handshake to affirm that both ends are on the same page re. newline semantics.

I'm not sure when I first had the idea. I read a lot of mystery, but I'm often frustrated trying to remember all the details. A virtual notebook seems like it could help a lot for me personally.

My mom and grandma also read books with a physical notebook handy, and seems like modern technology should make that unnecessary.

I was laid off as part of the massive layoffs in 2022 and made a first pass at the project. I didn't use epubjs and instead wasted a lot of time making a custom rendering engine -- this was dumb. Eventually I got another job and paused the project. I started again in earnest a month or so ago using epubjs as the base.

> replacement for Google that is to survive should really convince and be super cheap

The market for most is met with ads. It's why streaming services are adding ad tiers and JCPenney doing "away with constant sales and coupons, opting instead for everyday low prices" failed [1]. That's most consumers. It's almost all non-premium consumers. That's good fodder for Google and whatever LLM garbage replaces them.

Paraphrasing Scott Galloway, advertising is a tax on the stupid and the poor. I wish something like Kagi got public funding. But we have better priorities than taking ads out of search. So for the time being, you get one product for the wealthy and savvy and another, that's just good enough, for everyone else.

The interesting thing about their calculation of Google's $23/m revenue per user, is how much of that is simply by matching a user's query and location to ads? i.e. Is all the additional data collection and abandonment of privacy entirely necessary to reach anywhere near that number?

Also it's not clear if the numbers used in the article omits publisher ads from Adsense.

It would be great if G's advertisers were opened up to competitors, I think a CPA model would work out well since combatting click fraud involves a lot of profiling.

N+1 problem is also reduced if you keep your one and only server next to your one and only database.

This was actually the solution we came up with at a very big global company. Well, not 1 server, but 1 data center. If your write leaders are all in one place it apparently doesn't matter that everything else is global, for certain write requests at least.

That's not the platform's problem. It would likely make the platform less successful if they were to follow your advice.

Your suggestion was,

> Maybe someone should make a TikTok competitor where you swipe left or right on a video to indicate your approval.

The audience for this would be small. Social media platforms have found that users engage with content they "don't like". If showing users content they don't like resulted in less overall engagement, the platforms would rewrite their algorithms in a heartbeat.

A competitor to TikTok already faces an enormous uphill battle. If such a platform chooses to remove a proven strategy for traction and engagement, then it's doubling down on the headwinds and infirmities. I wouldn't count on it being a successful venture.
New "alternate" way to do things is always welcome I suppose. This looks slightly better than declaring the style right in the style attribute of an HTML element.

The number of times I've found something in seconds that a co-worker was digging around in pursuit of for minutes has by this point escaped me. Were you around for Alta Vista vs. Google? This feels the same. The only difference is it's paywalled, which for the consumer, is generally good--it means the benefits won't be generalised and the product will remain an elite minority offering that doesn't gain traction with SEO bots.

Kagi is easily in the top tier of my subscriptions (along with JetBrains and my cloud backup provider), where if it were a local business, I'd go there to pay in person, and smile while doing it.

But would using redundant systems separated in space connected with each other not offset the chance that they all would be affected at the same time? This is actually not rocket science .. just hard engineering and hardware/software design for redundant systems which is also usable on the ground.

> Creating an open registry would be nice, or even for developers to be able to host their own repos for others to install plugins from (à la Linux package managers), to avoid such centralisation.

All of the linked XMPP-phonenetwork bridging services appear to be United States + Canada only, so I have no hope of trying or testing this software.

The best I have in my country (Australia) are SIP providers. They generally only offer landline numbers; I think some might offer mobile numbers but I have not tried those services (they cost more and I suspect texting won't work anyway).

Nonetheless some simple self-hosted SIP-XMPP bridge software would be amazing. We'd also need XMPP clients that understand this, however, otherwise using existing tel://xxx address books would be fiddly (you would have to manually retype them to be an XMPP address).

N.B. SIP clients on phones seem to be a bit slow and unreliable. I use one daily nonetheless, along with Snikket (conversations), which also has its fair share of issues on different people's phones.
Oh, wow, this is so bad. m usually means "milli" not "micro". At least they could have used u instead of µ, which is a more common replacement when you don't have the keyboard character available.
I really wouldn’t say Tailwind does anything that resembles living and breathing CSS.

Their entire value proposition is making shit copy and pastable by ignoring the “C” in CSS and then doing further things to kind of reduce how much you need to know about writing CSS like just making everything a class for example.

I know a lot of people like it but it’s considered a very flawed solution in a lot of ways by people who have a decent working knowledge of CSS to begin with.

Don’t get me wrong I see the appeal of it but the implementation I think leaves a lot to be desired.
Musk does everything to serve his dream. Pity it's a broken self-serving dystopia and he cannot see it.

He invented nothing and will continue to invent nothing.

Why is it dystopian? It's full of people laboring alone and separated in virtual cellars. Every thing he does is an enclosure: a dome, a car with no driver, a rocket. To compensate you get to sit in a VR helmet and interact with a robot.

It's not just the listed prices either. There was a story here not long ago where they essentially requested someone to migrate to an enterprise plan or get out.

Yes, stained glass is like band filter, they let through a particular frequency range, while reducing those outside the range. Your FM receiver will still lock on the desired frequency as long as their is enough signal strength. It's kind of the same as listening to an emitter that is very far while being very close to another. Of course, it'll stop to work at some point depending on minimum signal-to-noise ratio.

Kagi integrates GPT 4 and other LLMs, as well as its own Quick Answer product. The Quick Answer product is 9 times out of 10 superior to any of the pre-trained LLMs. Mostly because it's accessing live information.

This. When we went house shopping in Seattle, we saw alot of craftsman houses with basements and most of them were depressing and expensive, especially the basement, like 1500 sqf on paper but half of that is almost unusable. The newer townhomes were about the same price with no basements but three stories above ground instead, so we wound up in one in Ballard.

I don’t mourn the old houses being torn down to make way for three town homes on the same plot.

I don't think radios use a PLL to demodulate the FM audio: the signal has a huge "pilot" tone at 19kHz that you can match to get the first part of the spectrum, mono audio (L+R channels), and at double that frequency you know you'll find the stereo part (L-R channels). Precise phase estimation is only necessary to decode the RDS digital data (station name, datetime, etc.).

Also note that around the same time other European expeditions were making similar discoveries: 2 years before Columbus, Dias discovered the Cape of Good Hope and a decade later Da Gama braved 10,000 km of open ocean and discovered a sea route to India.

> I also don't understand why people get a boner with Columbus.

He is primarily of interest because Italian-Americans want a feeling of pride and so celebrate "one of their own", the Genovese Columbus. And America is very big and important, so whatever it cares about, a lot of other people care about.

If you were Canadian instead, you'd probably be genned up on John Cabot (also Genovese) and Newfoundland and CODFISH! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds8G9sFOK5w]

There's no point sneering that Leif Erikson got there first, Europe as a whole did not particularly know The Americas existed until Columbus confirmed it. Then they rushed to colonise it... which is where most of the Americans (and Canadians) ultimately come from. So that's why it's important to so many of them.
