This reminds me of the early arguments about RSS.

xoogler from 2005 to 2018. People in developer tools always wanted a mandate to use their tools when their tools didn't gain enough users.

Except android and iOS are both trying to keep you away from your own files.

I like how it's not mobile friendly.

bootstrap has not depended on jquery for a long time now.

No. I'm comfortable remembering passwords.

try reducing dependencies.

I would like to write code for latexml to translate a package but I found the documentation to be hard to understand. That might be what is holding developers back. I looked at this a year ago and gave up.

No doubt flights between blue cities.

you can't install for Firefox on Android unless you use a Google account for the play store.

I highly recommend the Rosie-the-riveter museum at the old Richmond shipyard. What happened there is amazing to this day.

They spelled Len's name wrong in the credits. :/

Nah. I don't do subscriptions for much of anything. I just do fewer searches now that I know google is so heavily slanted toward commercially relevant queries.

Kagi seems like an obvious acquisition target. They will never raise enough paying subscribers.

Everyone in adtech gets a boner when they think people want more personalized ads. News flash: people hate them.

Opting people into their sludge generates high engagement numbers. Or is it enragement?

Note: that article does not contain the word "forward".

I'm almost 71 and I still write code every day. The only difference is that I haven't done it for an employer in seven years.

For those who prefer scrolling to reading I guess.

AI is getting harder to build a tech business in because people are starting to see through the hype.

Does Firefox send a header to request this?

Context: a response to a hit piece on Prabhakar Raghavan that needs corroboration from people inside before anyone should believe it.

I know Prabhakar. He was my manager at Google Research and he tried to recruit me to Yahoo in 2005, but I went to Google instead. This article stinks of hatred and misunderstanding about how Google works. It's possible that Prabhakar bears some responsibility for the decline of search experience, but it sounds over the top to assign all blame to him as a manager.

foxnews.com is not paywalled, but mostly spews crap to the uneducated. By contrast, nytimes is paywalled. I'm sure that limits the effectiveness of legitimate news organizations.

Google search

I have a letter from Knuth as well as a letter from Erdos. I've been hanging onto these.

As far as I can tell, all copilot does is to regurgitate web results it has found, often out of context.

My wife keeps a land line because of superior voice quality for calls to her family. I find it handy because I can give a number to businesses when they demand one. We never answer that phone (it has been silenced from ringing). AT&T has no broadband service in my area - they offer only DSL and I live in a fairly rich area of silicon valley. The problem is that my utilities were put underground when the house was built in the 70s, so it's too expensive to upgrade the utilities.

The case for burning up in a fire.

I've been wanting to build a solar powered above-ground pump for a waterfall into my pool. The pump will not be submerged, so I'd like to use a well pump.

it's odd that you say that without having seen the competitor. This is evidence of belonging to a cult or being afraid of better things. Of course it's possible that the new one is shit, but I think I'll make my own mind up.
