I would look into Kaleidescape if you want blu-ray quality viewing in your home with the convenience of streaming (although you have to download ahead of time). Only downside is the price and need for their proprietary player + server.

You could already do this before the port change, you just need a USB-C to Lightning cable (which has been included in the box for a few years now). Being able to use the same cable is nice and all, but in practice I want two or more cables

Both the git log and git bisect commands accept the --first-parent flag, which eliminates the complexities of dealing with merge commits in the history.

Amongst many other sites, I have w3schools blocked in my Kagi search results, along with MDN being raised/prioritized. From the looks of it, it seems like blocking w3schools is quite popular among Kagi users [1]. [1]: https:/&#x2

> It's not like you paid for it. There are individuals that pay ~$4/month for GitHub Teams, plus other services (Copilot, CI, LFS, Packages, etc). They may not have public repos, but that shouldn't matter.

I think part of this stability stems from the upstream repos being more stable themselves (cheaper and easier than ever to run CI, quality of tools, etc). It's not often that upstream packages break their stable releases, or heck even

I just tried Brave on the desktop with a few videos and didn't see any pop-ups, seems business as normal to me. Are you running an up to date version?

Just to reiterate on this point: Pretty much every Vulkan game on Windows forgoes using Vulkan Swapchains in favor of presenting from compute and using native DXGI Swapchains. If you are shipping a production quality game or application, yo

Privacy.com allows you to use completely made up billing information - transactions won't get rejected if the name/address is a mismatch. You can just feed a fake name and address into each site, even if they wanted to, how would

As another commenter pointed out, this is obsolete C, however: this is just not how modern compilers work. at all . Compilation is performed in phases, you have syntax analysis, semantic analysis, and then optimization and codegen. It’s tr

Kagi already does this, performing the same search multiple time’s doesn’t count against you (from my testing), so they must be caching, or your browser does, not sure.

Using an adblock isn’t enough as the ads are embedded into the results, and very subtlety called out. If your query even remotely resembles something related to shopping (in the eyes of Google) you will get spammed with localized ads.

This is such a bad take

I mean yeah, credit where credit is due Kagi lets you turn all these things off and customize how results are produced and displayed like no other.

100% the data you input to the ChatGPT 4 prompt window is being used to train ChatGPT 5, there is a reason a lot of companies are placing bans on it and telling employees to never enter sensitive data. I sincerely hope that LLMs won’t play

Ughh, please don’t. The last thing I want in my search engine is AI, especially for a “privacy focused” one like Kagi. Paying to have all my search queries get routed through ChatGPT (and effectively used as training data) is absolutely not

Huh? Windows 10 has been shipping the C standard library for quite a while now, you don’t need to ship any redistributables... yes you need to static link the C++ standard library but that is also a requirement if you ship on Linux since De

Depends on when you go. If you show up during lunch/hour when the line is getting long they absolutely will over scoop. It isn’t worth it for them to slow down the line when every customer asks them “can you scoop more” at every sing

There is no such thing that allows you to avoid the race condition. There are a few issues: - You can't control every call to open, and thus enforce O_CLOEXEC on all files (by default) - Because of this, most files will be leaked int

Pedantically, C’s runtime doesn’t parse the command line arguments, CommandLineToArgvW does, and that function lives in shell32.dll, not the C runtime (Nor is it dependent on the C runtime). Ofc the C runtime is free to ignore that routine

See my other comment on posix_spawn. It has its own issues and TOCTOU bugs that prevent it from being an actual alternative.

It’s fair to say the initial surface area of the API is more complex (at first glance). However, fork/exec don’t really scale that well beyond toy examples you see in blogs or CS101. Thing is, if you are using fork/exec, you are l

Curious why you think CreateProcess is worse than fork/exec. Sure it takes about a dozen parameters but is that really the end of the world?!? It’s much much easier to use correctly and doesn’t have nearly as many of the pitfalls as fo
