RIP, you'll be missed.

However I'm not puzzled by this. The speed was always fast, and they didn't employ any strategies like a lot of the other OCH which made downloading a huge PITA.

This site would so much improve by using `background-attachment: fixed;` in its CSS. I'm getting a headache here.

Same... I hate it that they borrowed this term to give them credibility. They are no architects.

Too bad they decided to become irrelevant. Kagi was a fresh breeze and liked it very much, but by abolishing the free plan (which is now a merely short trial) and rising the prices this steeply will hurt them.

It's so much eyebrow-raising, too! All I wanted is a good search, but now they try to justify by saying "oh no our shiny AI costs so much!" – a feature I did not want and neither intend to use! Same with their browser? Why is everybody so fixated in making their own?

It is maddening. I recommended Kagi to all my colleagues and friends. Will stop doing that.

Nope, it doesn't. FF stable on MacOS.

Teams is, was, and will be the absolut worst. They only won, because it's bundled into MSO.

Had big issues with Zoom today indeed – for how long has this bug existed?

I'm still on Monterey but have not yet updated to 12.6.1.

I think what really is missing here would be a full text search. I have currently multiple thousands of bookmarks. Sometimes remembering the title just doesn't cut it.

Also I have a severe fear of link rot. I developed the habit of putting every link I would bookmark into web.archive.org and archive.is as well. So a nice tool should do that too (and of course store the generated link). Some folks might even would want to have it stored offline.

It's superb! Only needs city lights now. Think of driving up the hill next to a city. And then less cars. That would be soothing.

And you have to reload the page then...

Should have been a "back" button or smth!

Funny enough, as a person whose native language is not English, The Register always went above my head. I knew it was meant to be snarky or funny, but it always left me stumbling and I never was quite sure if not the whole page was just an elaborate shitjoke.

Totally unusable in Firefox on Windows 10 as well.

Really cool! Only missing a "sum" function.

I've tested Tabnine but found it significantly slowing down my whole PC down to barely usable at all. Maybe this issue has been fixed and I can have another look at it. Also it seemed to me that the suggestions were only based on the existing code, whereas Github's Copilot appears to be "smarter".

That's exactly the thing I would be looking for, too.

Especially since I'm working in proprietary niche language, it would be so great to have my own code to be the corpus of the model.

It could be so easy: stuff your codebase into a model generator and out comes some sensible autocomplete. Well, at least I hope we will see something like this soon.

Ugh, looked into Baserow for exactly 10 seconds a while ago until I found out that selfhosting needs Docker.

I always regarded Pozidriv to be a joke, a homeopathic design. Does it _really_ does better than Philipps? On paper, yeah. Does it feel in the real world like that? Nope, not at all.

Torx all the way!

Let me tell you: Zoning in itself is not a bad thing per se! Quite the contrary. I guess nearly all countries belonging to the "Global North" have them. And they do so for a reason.

Tossing out zoning laws alltogether is just another nail in the ethically bankrupt city plannings coffin. Instead the zoning laws have to get better by revising their underlying premises. E.g. why the hell do you guys outlaw condos? In Germany we have a gradient on whats allowed and what not. The "BauNVO" (Baunutzungsverordnung) regulates that on a broad level. Then you will go to a more granular level, the "B-Plan" (Bebauungsplan). There it will have more regulations which have to be followed. E.g. it is very often the case that the ground level is reserved for commercial use, but on the other levels must be condos.

I could think of the Brexit: Britons lost the access to the .eu tld. But there was a really long sunset phase. More than two years I think?

I'd sayx it is not really probable that you'd would immediately be nuked off your tld. And I also can't see the Swedes pulling this move.

On a sidenote I really had to smirk when I read "painkillers". So american!

But let's stay on track: The thing with painkillers is that they are not really predictable (so I don't wonder that he failed). Even if a study suggests that a certain kind of medicine might help better, this doesn't mean anything. It especially does not mean, that the painkiller will help me.

I've tried a lot of them, based on recommendations from the doctor, from the internet, from the pharmacist. In the end I found one agent that really helps me and I sticked with that.

I'm so happy QuickTime is finally gone for good.

Hassling with it on Windows was always a big pain, with the versions being incompatible to one another. Also it left so much bloat and changed so many settings it looked like malware. But to be fair most of those crude media applications did that at this time. (Looking at you, Realplayer!)

Also you needed the browser (Internet Explorer) plugin, because HTML5 video wasn't a thing, but everyone wanted to display their media.

In a sidenote QuickTime also was part of other installers, too. One big CAD application needed QT on the system for displaying their help files (and I guess some media im-/export). It wouldn't even install without it. To make things worse, the installer itself – not the app, mind you – was in Java. To uninstall now you both need an old Java and an old QuickTime to be installed first...

This surely is just a persiflage, right? Right??

Just a few days ago I had the need to implement a random function with a niche proprietary language, where you have no binary data type. Only strings, integers, and floats. Thats fun! I instead used a Lehmer generator with 32-bit arithmetics. I also wondered if there are any better solutions.

It works quite well, but bear in mind that the dataset must be already quite old. Based on my ancestors extremely rare name (only family in Germany) I would say at least 15 years old – but accurate for that matter!

Eventually they will realize that the zoning laws are the culprit.

Until then most US urban planning will stay the sh*t show it is.

Offtopic, but still relevant: Github pages could also use to get a newer Jekyll version...

This gets more and more baffling. Everyday another totally useless framework gets released – and they never tell you what usecase this shit has. Seriously, what problem is solved by this?

What is wrong by just writing VanillaCSS? This is becoming ridiculous.

"Wie meine Westentasche" in German – "Like my vest's (waistcoat's) pocket.

Nice. Basically the same as a slide rule.

There is a german company that still sells these. [0]

It is more on the contrary. The registry is one of the most well-thought features of Windows.

Also there is nothing like "bloat". No process needs too loop around or smth like that, so there is literally no way to have a forgotten registry item slowing down your PC.

And last but not least: What are the alternatives? .plist config files like with Apple, scattering around the system?

Really hard to understand. I think this should be rewritten to make it more clear.
