I love KOreader for the best in class type setting imho. If an e-reader can run KOreader is a purchasing factor to me for that reason. I read a lot so it matters to me how the text looks.

Anyone experience how Kagi performs with non-english searches?

Supported. It is survivorship bias. I do sometimes learn something through reading that stuff that makes my life a little easier. But it won't make me more successfull. Pretty sur about that.

I remember the times these cans were priced way cheaper. This is a fantastic rip off across all brands.

Winning the project with a very cheap offer and making money with exessive claim management. The customer can't leave the contract and at some point has to deal with it and we're over budget...

About everything starts with an anecdote. And it works. But I am so sick of it and also stop reading or listening. I don't want any anecdote.

I dislike most the these espresso machines with touchscreen or dialing knobs on autopilot. This is disgusting coffee no matter the beans. Imho drip coffee makers in office kitchens would be nicer.

I am often surprised how the big picture manifests itself in nitty gritty details. I want all teams to know the big picture and you must trust their expertise and experience. This is tough to learn to let go but that's why you hired ex

I quite often say: If you need KPIs you're too far removed from how the company actually conducts business.

We are all humans. And talking in extremes here: Introverts think in private. After that they may share. They need time to think through stuff. Extroverts think while engaging with others. Sharing supports and facilitates the thought proces

I try not to regret. It is a pain to do so. You can't go back in time and you can't change a thing but we torment ourselves with the wish to do so. Stop doing that. We live now and if we want to spend more time with our loved ones

Got a new Laptop. Runs Win 11. UI ugly as hell and doesn't make much sense. Impressive feat to find ways to further downgrade from there.

Well. I am often bored... so I avoid doing things. I have yet to encounter a job without boring stuff to do. Once in a while a nice challenge comes along and my motivation is through the roof again. Also rebelliousness fits the bill very ni

I stopped reading after that unbearable "Moonraker". "Diamonds Are Forever" is the next in the series. Might give it a try now.

Imho after Casino Royale the book series went south rather quickly.

Loved reading it. Fantastic piece. That writing got very close to me, watery eyes and so and I also read it from my perspective of being a dad of a small child right now.

I don't experience this. So far writing has not refined my thinking. I need to write to have a documentation for easy access. I tend to forget a lot. I need to write to onboard others, to communicate ideas. I like struggeling for the b

Early 40ies. I see a lot of old problems labeled as new problems. It is boring as hell. Few new ideas. Lots of packaging to give it an interesting appearance. So I lose interest. No decline.

No is a valid conclusion an therefore a valid answer and a complete sentence. Not the only one, though. You have to find out the appropriate setting. It cuts nicely through bullshit, for example.

I never tried one, but I read good things about them. A wider range of layouts and easier on the budget for sure. Topre is expensive.

I was almost down the rabbit hole. I stopped at Topre Boards. I enjoy typing and prefer it to any other board. Typing is my daily business amd to me worth the investment. I put corporate issued keyboards aside.

I'd love to experiment with tiling WMs but then, I'm on Win10 in corporate land with low res screens. My 'tiling' is a vertical split which is done easily with a shortcut and mouse follows focus. That serves me well.

Current main stream isn't worth listening in 16/44 either. I would be a critical listener with high expectations. Not trained professionally. I don't hear a difference going from 16/44 to 24/96. But I hear a tremend

Would love to play it again. Enjoyed Kirby a lot on the original Game Boy 30 ago years. Unbelievable.

I used to be an avid photographer. Then got drowned in an overkill of technology since then. I preferred the look of AA filter sensors. Modern lenses and modern cameras are so tack sharp that to me photos feel like they are beyond reality.

Not necessarily related but I would like to bring up this and hope it's something to consider: Do what you're told, go home, come back next day. Repeat. That is not 100% correct but good enough to summarize modern life. Why learni

Funny thing those audiobooks. I am very biased. Audiobooks make me aggressive and I want to stop playback. Something always bothers me: - Not the exact and therefore perfect reading speed as the voice in my head. - Tonality of the narrator&

I actually read some Bond novels. IMHO the series detoriates rather quickly. After two books Fleming's writing and yarn spinning is a far cry from Casino Royal. Casino Royal is very different from any of the movies and worth a read.

Completely normal phenomenon, I'd say. That's how big organisations survive. "I quickly do it myself" spawns chaos down the road or outright desaster.

I liked 'Dune' and read it as a teen. Haven't managed to read all the rest. The last book still missing. Also 'Dune' but much more so the others are choke full of religious stuff. A difficult read and the reason I s
