- dickiedyce parentCode39 would be really useful ;-)
- Actually on the nail. Mine actually made me laugh out loud. https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/dickiedyce
- 1 company? 2 buildings? Over < 5 years? Any evidence for "dampening short-run pay raises but boosting them in the long run" must be pretty sketchy.
- I'm a keen Orion user, and general Kagi user - early adopter since June 2022 (So kool-aid? ;-) ) That said, I have Chrome installed for mandated office work (profile managed by IT ;-( ), Brave for LinkedIn & YouTube... but for everything else I use Orion. Recent versions have been rock solid, and it does exactly what it says on the tin.
My only gripe is that the favourites bar isn't right-click editable like Chrome or Brave - assume this is down to Webkit. Apart from that, joy to use and develop against.
- Warmer = US centric? I always think that the proliferation of J.A.R.V.I.S.-type projects in the wild is down to the writing in Iron Man, and Paul Bettany's dry delivery. We want dryer, not warmer. More sarcasm, less smarm.
- LOL. Yes, Scottish Water was never privatised, and that's been a great story of success... even if it's only because it's not any of the failed English water companies.
- As a Scot who travels on Scottish, English, and Welsh railways, and on Swiss and German railways... Scotrail (now in Public ownership) is pretty good. And I say that as someone in the Highlands, which has had the worst of it in the last 30 years. There's been recent investment, and even the re-opening of closed lines and finally new stations where they've been desperately needed (Inverness Airport, Kintore, Laurencekirk). But still plenty more to do. I visit the south semi-regularly, and worked in London in the 90's. Rail around London seems to have really improved over the last few years. Swiss Rail (SBB) is still the poster child for a decent rail system. Clean, on time, reasonably priced (compared to UK rail), and easy to use. What was eye-opening for me was recent travel in Germany (München to Basel in CH)... DB was dreadful and the stations were in an awful state of repair.
- Also - the speed and quality improvements when having to redo homework lost to an undiscerning canine companion is also a corollary of this. Perhaps the time it takes to 'redo' is a better measure than last mile - it's the entire effort, minus the initial solution-space exploration?
- No, this is an argument against any new online-only software for students where your work is being stored in a cloud, and not in an open format locally on hard drives.
- It's a really cracking little app, and great for inline docs.
- From the blurb: "Expressive design makes you feel something. It inspires emotion..." Yep, sea-sickness, quesyness, nausea, and a growing desire park the DeLorean back in 2010 or skip to 2035. The whole 'emotion' thing = funky palettes is irritating beyond measure: the next 2 years of websites will be like working inside a TV advert for Jaguar.
- Also, and I guess this may be another common feature request, it would be great to have a newest at the bottom of the page rather than the top ;-) although I’m guessing that this is to do with performance given it's a single file?
- Cracking ! :-)
- I really like the app, it’s a nice idea, I’m actually started using it for journalling! One thing that would be great – when I stick a hashtag in, it would be really good if it gave me the last five or the most common in a pop-up menu, just to make sure I spell them correctly.
- I jumped to Kagi early on. I was on a friend's machine the other day, and without thinking, ran a default search ... in Google, and wow. Just, wow.
What an appalling waste of electrons. First, non-advert (labelled, and non-labelled) on page 3.
- Ah ha. Is this the start of MAIA - "Make America Irrelevant Again"? Do they really need the help? Seems like their about to do a great job on that already... ;-)
- you mean the anglo-saxon one that connotes large, frightening, extraordinary, shocking, pleasurable or depressing?
- Actually, according to Anne Elk, it's a test "dinosaur"...

... which seems appropriate.
- LOL. Pubs in the UK tend to fall into roughly 2 camps... with TV, and without. And the with TV ones can be quite extreme, and conversation can be difficult when people are distracted by a TV visible whichever way you look. During the European football championships, lots of pubs have wall-to-wall football coverage (as in soccer, not Rugby in drag) which serious drinkers might want to avoid ;-) (And for the more sports obsessed, it also makes, avoiding seeing the scores before you get home and watch it properly on catch-up much easier...)
- Pretty sure that The Maypole (https://maypolefreehouse.co.uk), which is round the back of the Baron, is safe... thank goodness.
- > "Every news site has advertising sections"
Ahem, bbc.co.uk/news * *?
* Note, not bbc.com ;-)
* Also, editorially, BBC News has also gone a little downhill in recent times. But it's all relative.
- Hi Liam - can't seem to see a call graph. I've sent a report, but wasn't sure what to expect, as your site has a nice preview of the architectuer graph, but not the call graph functionality. Perhaps add a second preview? $19 does seem a little steep. Would it be possible to have a lower cost with a user supplied 3rd party LLM service key?
- Yes. Who doesn't secretly love a magic number ;-)
- Someone really screwed up the OCR on that ;-)
Apart from the typos, I suspect that there's at least one paragraph in the body (the summary introduction?), that wasn't written by Mr Chandler.
- Missed opportunity dept.: the title should have been "The Magic Goes Away", in reference to the Larry Niven novel.
- My first programs were in Basic on punch tape sent down an acoustic coupler to Imperial College in 1981. I get that it was the end of an era. But just after leaving school, I ran a Linotype photo-setter in the late 1980's - with different spinning optical discs for different fonts, and Hot wax rollers, and Letraset lines. And after university, I worked on computer magazines in W1, which went from photo-setting to Desktop Publish. So I remember an entire era, from start to finish. Boy, do I feel old.
- I'm pretty sure I saw some technology like this in the UK in the late '90s? With prints (pictures) in frames being used as wall-mounted speakers?
- ... and active retrieval of cadmium batteries from infant digestive tracts is not something to joke about.
- Apparently, this is NOT an April Fool's joke, just a classic case of poor timing?
