My experience of the extension was bad.

The extension is a hack that allows them to redirect the searches from one of the available search engines to Kagi. So first you search, then e.g. the DDG page loads halfway, then the page flashes, you get redirected to Kagi. If you are lucky, you are signed in, and you wait for the Kagi results. If not, you sign in and type your search again.

On iOS, I made a shortcut that pops up a native text prompt for your search, then opens kagi using your session token. I recommend this over the extension.

On desktop Safari, you can additionally make Kagi your home page. Not as convenient as searching directly from the top bar but not bad either.

I had the extension for a while and it didn't work reliably for me.

I replaced it with a "let's fetch" shortcut.

I have DDG as the default search in Safari (because Kagi is not an option, maybe it requires profit sharing with Apple?) and I often end up using DDG out of convenience while being a Kagi subscriber.

I agree there is not a lot of differentiation between stock Kagi search and DDG. DDG still has a few ads but it's not that annoying, perfectly usable.

Kagi's assistants are pretty interesting though. Recently I asked it to find back a post that I vaguely remembered. It managed to generate a bunch of Kagi searches with different keywords and narrow it down to an old tweet.

I imagine log4j wasn't a problem either.

If you have this problem, leave one of those stone eggs in the nesting box to help them break the habit.

These days I see Conda (and micromamba) used as a reliable cross-platform winget/apt/yum/brew. For example, to install GDAL.

uv replaces pip, conda and pip have been complementary for a long time. But I would be surprised if uv does not take on conda at some point, e.g. with a micromamba subcommand.

Are you suggesting to make a uv/ruff/ty but for Java?

Interesting. There are exemptions, but not usually for that amount.

Are your purchases in the thousands getting through?

It's a rabbit hole, but I agree mainly because 3DS would have been triggered in the EU.

Years ago I got an Airport Express for this. They also had an audio port for connecting a stereo to AirPlay.

Shortcuts is buggy and difficult to work with, but it is the escape hatch on apple watch that makes the watch usable without also carrying your phone everywhere.

I have a shortcut for captive portals when you want to get on WiFi, a shortcut to dictate a quick search on Kagi (I am working on another for Kagi Assistant) and another to check the trains on the train website. Between these and apple wallet I can leave my phone at home.

I tried out duckdb-spatial for a hobby project and my takeaway is the main thing it offers over geopandas is performance in batch processing.

If I can reduce my spatial analysis to SQL and optimize that SQL a little bit, duckdb will happily saturate my CPUs and memory to process things fast in a way that a Python script struggles to do.

Yes, the static linking is nice. It helps with the problem of reproducible environments in Python. But that's not a game changer IMO.

Buenos Aires to Montevideo is ~200km so I guess they are going to Colonia del Sacramento, ~50km.

You are right, of course.

To add more context, the point of the original quote* (and the paraphrase) is to draw attention to an ironic situation and perhaps offer some hope that the situation is fundamentally solvable.

To paraphrase a quote ;)

This country is the second largest in the world and filled mainly of forests. Only an organizing genius could produce a shortage of land and construction materials at the same time.

I recently updated Pop OS to the Cosmic Alpha and it is much more to my liking than Gnome 3 ever was. I have an older Nvidia GPU though.

No, I was looking in the wrong place in the settings: "search" > "advanced" > "custom bangs". I see now you can assign a bang directly when you make a custom assistant. Very handy!

!code will get you into the proper code assistant.

I'd love it if it supported custom assistants though.

For example, !joost (the name of my AI language tutor)

Edit: I got this working.

True, but to be fair the statutory notice period is for the pay, not access to the internal messaging systems.

What are bricks good at? Are they purely aesthetic?

Structurally speaking, concrete and wood clearly have their place, bricks just seem like a worse concrete to me.

More context here.

"Scientist" is cool, but personally I would call myself a "forensic archeologist" if I had this gig.

I recently learned that there is datetime.UTC which is an alias of datetime.timezone.utc

It helps a bit with the verbosity:

from datetime import datetime, UTC

datetime.now(UTC)

How about channel channels?

I agree with the daily upper limit (though coffee/tea can extend it...)

But don't discount the amount of creative problem-solving that happens in the back of your head after-hours. This roughly stays constant in a 4-day week.

It's mostly just pandoc though?

And they chose it to avoid any non-standard markdown.

Windy.com gives you ECMWF. ECMWF has a much stronger model.

TI-83

I still think these things (especially the TI-89) are really underrated. They have a battery life measured in months to years and can do calculus symbolically.
