In fact, if you disable web search via a registry value or group policy (don't remember which), it becomes a lot faster. Not Everything fast, but significantly faster nonetheless.

For The Wolf of Wall Street, the following result using wolf + money bag + roadway was considered wrong:

> The guess is: The Wolf of Wall Street Reason: The movie is about the rise and fall of Jordan Belfort, a stockbroker who defrauded investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars, earning him a lot of money in the process. The road emoji may represent the stock market, which is a symbol of the financial industry. Additionally, the wolf emoji can be seen as a reference to the word "wolf" in the title of the movie, while the emoji...

> There's a reason Zerodium values iOS zero days less than Android ones too [0], which is quite telling of the amount of them they already have in stock.

You could be right, but I don't think it's a given that the latter follows the former. The reason that Zerodium values iOS zero-days less than Androids is more likely because the US and European governments that purchase these exploits from Zerodium value iOS less than Android, which itself could be attributed to there simply being more Android phones used by adversarial countries than iOS.

I don't think it's sarcastic. COSMIC is still early in development and they're contributing upstream to Iced to improve it. And as the Iced repo[1] itself says, "Iced is currently experimental software".

I personally just use "X site:reddit.com". It's more verbose, but it does what you want.

EDIT: There's also a !bang that does the same thing: !ddgr

This feels like a combination of Airtable (before the push to be a no-code app platform) and Reddit. This seems way better than the public Google Sheets that make their way around the latter site.

I'm curious though. How do you plan to make money from this project (premium subscription option, affiliate links for product-focused databases, etc.)? Will it remain free to use?

Regardless, it seems like an interesting project!

Do you mind elaborating? I don't get how they're comparable. Vetted.ai uses AI to rank products based on user reviews and check prices across retailers. OP's project is a community-based, collaborative database (almost a fusion of Reddit and Airtable) where anyone can contribute to a database, which also isn't limited to products.

IIRC, Toolbox is less buggy and better tested according to some discussions on both Fedora Silverblue's and Toolbox's GitHub issue trackers.

I don't have links on-hand (mobile), but the discussions should be easy to find by searching "distrobox" in the issue page of the respective GitHub repos. I also can't speak to the validity of it since I haven't really had problems with either.

There's also Portmaster[0], which is open-source and supports both Windows and Linux.

I feel the trend to bigger phones is probably indicative of phones being the sole computing device for more and more people. Anecdotal, but one example is my parents. I've watched them go from having desktops to laptops to iPads while they kept getting the biggest iPhone available. Now, their phones are pretty much all they use (outside of a smart TV and an Amazon Echo).

Ah, I see what you were saying. I read your comment as being of the perspective of a non-programmer, given the context of the parent comment you replied to. Specifically, this part:

> Given the premices on which the Python language was designed (giving access to programming to non-programmers)

I'm not sure if you're saying that 1-indexed arrays are counterintuitive, but if you are, my experience has been that 0-indexed arrays are more counterintuitive to non-programmers, since most people count or make ordered lists starting at 1.

A few years ago, I worked in a neuroimaging research lab and taught some basic Python programming to quite a few research assistants with psych degrees. At the time, a scientific computing or intro to programming course wasn't part of the psych curriculum at the university that the lab was. 0-indexed arrays were often a big sticking point. It just didn't mesh with their intuition.

For example, if `len(some_list)` returned 2, they would try to get the last value with `some_list[2]` and then get confused. Or for another example, if they used `for i in range(n)`, they'd be confused when `i` didn't start at 1 and end at n. They eventually caught on and learned further syntax such as `some_list[-1]` for getting the last value in a list. But, it was a bit of a frustrating experience for both them and myself because I only had time to teach them the basics and some google-fu as well as give them some example code. While 0-indexing was a source of a lot of their bugs in the beginning, I learned that the best method for them to get the hang of it was to encourage them to do a lot of print debugging, which was more than adequate for any scripts they'd be writing. They just really needed more feedback from what they wrote and what it actually did to get a better grasp of the idiosyncrasies of programming vs. their intuition.

Side note: The frustration of teaching non-techies Python was nothing compared to teaching them LaTeX. I was luckily able to eventually convince the PI to adopt Overleaf and organizing the text into separate files and using `\include` or `\input` to reduce the headache of collaborative writing as well as move all the internal docs to markdown. The latter became a huge help when we eventually moved to Jupyter notebooks for a lot of our python-related scripts as the team members already became adept enough with markdown. It was also easier to teach everyone how to use pandoc for making pretty PDFs of the internal docs or converting their markdown drafts into LaTeX.

I can't speak to its validity, but the way it was explained to me from a neuroscientist a few years ago is that the general hypothesis now is that some people have a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia and that predisposition sort of lies dormant until triggered. That would explain how both could be true: it could be genetic and triggered by environment/trauma.

Couldn't you just use Fish or zsh-autosuggestions? I don't see the benefit of using a web api or AI for every keystroke when the current solutions work well enough.

I'm partial to Core Common, Core Uncommon, Core Rare, and Core Legendary.

On one hand, Microsoft has been ridiculously scummy lately in regards to Windows and Edge (e.g., dark patterns everywhere) and I downright abhor what Edge has become. On the other hand, programs probably shouldn't be able to silently change a user's default programs. But back to the first hand, it seems like this was targeting Chrome specifically rather than actually improving the API, so more scummy nonsense from Microsoft.

While Chrome included a button to ask users beforehand, they could've just as easily changed the default browser without asking. I'm not saying Google would do that, but maybe they shouldn't have the ability to do so regardless of intention.

Microsoft has made some Windows-based optimizations to things like memory management. But, as far as I know, they've been upstreaming those optimizations back to the Chromium codebase. There are some things that aren't upstreamed like Startup Boost and Game Mode (or whatever they're called) where Edge runs as a minimal background process on login to reduce startup lag when first opening Edge or reduces resource usage when Windows detects that you're playing a game, respectively.

I've noticed that this only happens to me if I edit a login from the iOS password integration rather than from the app itself. For example, if I hit the password icon on the keyboard to bring up 1Password and create/edit a login from there, I'll encounter that same issue. One (rather annoying) workaround is for me to kill the 1Password app and when I reopen it, the last login I created/edited outside the app will pop up in edit mode. I close it and redo the process with the second last login I've created/edit popping up and I close it. I iterate until all the logins I've created/edited outside of the app stop popping up.

It's a rather peculiar bug.

What's wrong with 1Password?

Right, but I assume the first sentence refers to CentOS and the second sentence of "sunsetting" referring to the end of CentOS and the start of CentOS Stream. After all, CentOS became a part of Red Hat back in 2014 and stopped in 2021.

In other words, how was downstream CentOS considered a beta or "a preview of what was coming down the pipe"?

> Under Red Hat control, CentOS no longer modeled RHEL production code but was marketed as a beta—a preview of what was coming down the pipe. Eventually, the company sunsetted the project entirely, and as a result, new copycats emerged.

I thought CentOS was downstream of RHEL. Doesn't this describe what CentOS Stream became?
