ETrade also started recently to include that disgusting thing in their News feed for watch lists -- as if it can really predict anything, with no way to turn it off (AFAICT). It's clear that it's being pushed in many directions.

Complete shamelessness all around.

I can't understand why this company won't rebrand itself to something a bit catchier or better-sounding name than DuckDuckGo -- who the hell wants to say that ? Unless it's a self-selection filter...

Relatedly, it doesn't help that 'Kagi' sounds like poop in half of Europe.

Medium always is the message, eventually.

Lovely article with a happy ending!

One thing that I am glad to have been taught early on in my career when it comes to debugging, especially anything involving HW, is to `make no assumptions'. Bugs can be anywhere and everywhere.

I wonder if they had meetings or 'design committees' to find the most optimal shape with respect to the ease of killing prey eventually.

One possibility on origin (totally made up by me) could be that there were large stones lying around already as debris from e.g. earthquakes, celestial events and such and some groups took advantage of this and later people iterated upon it.

As a supporting point, I think it's connected not only with mental functions, but also our senses.

I have a weak memory in general, but I always remember the most mundane things in my life that I had no idea I still contained in my brain, triggered by a specific smell.

Another example is that when I moved to a new street, while crossing one road, I stumbled upon the edge of tram road and almost fell. Two years and counting, my brain always brings this memory up while passing the same point on the road..

I was adamant on using one of those health/exercise tracking devices, mainly out of distaste of our modern habit to be constantly in the know of everything, but I gotta say, since I've started using one, it's just so satisfying seeing the accumulated numbers over N months or even years!

This discussion reminds me a beautiful sentence I read in 'The Power and the Glory' by Graham Greene: "Hope is an instinct that only the reasoning human mind can kill."

> VS (ctrl+,) takes several seconds and intermixes search results for files and file contents, when I'm only interested in files.

I hate this a lot. It's gotten so bad the last couple of releases to the point that I try and use VS Code more in lieue of VS except debugging.

How they could let such fundamental functionality get broken is beyond me.

Or any time one dares to criticize Israel for their recent contributions to peace on Earth (wink wink) -- it has to be prefaced with "Let me say that I'm the biggest defender of the Jews and fight against anti-Semitism".

It's moot.
