They used to serve Kimi K2 (I think they said experimentally), which I think for many purposes is a better model, but discontinued it with the suggestion to use GPT OSS instead.

WordPress is to creating website what Excel is to generic business calculations.

Ada is still updated, last released in 2023. Given its original audience is the Department of Defense, it seems to me very likely it is far from dead.

Isn't Canonical the one that hires bases on High School performance?

But that's somewhat negated if you lift and shift, because your application is not designed to leverage that capability in that way.

I have to agree. I've been playing around with this for a while at https://github.com/outages/ (which includes the bchydro-outages mentioned in the original comment).

While it's easy to gather the data, the friction in analyzing it has always pushed the priority of doing so below other datasets I've gathered.

There's a lot for large and small thematic communities around, for instance there's a sizeable Python Slack, my university has a few, and I'm in a few geographic ones for developers in different cities.

This is very cool, particularly as it's a nice way of supporting pkpass files on Android.

However, I do wish it would also accept PDF files (planning a trip right now and many museums just give you a PDF), as well as that it had some level of in-app organization. I have a lot of items and it's just one live. I suspect I need to use the calendar function to do the latter.

Honestly, I think they would have had a sizeable amount of people paying for the subscription.

Now, even if they backtrack on this later on in a few months or years, they burned the good will, so I doubt developers are going invest the time to make a good Reddit client after this.

Yes, though in turn The Pokemon Company is owned by Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures. So it's a big loop in some way.

marcolussetti — Sun, 20 Nov 2022 17:24:13 +0000

I love the documentation for Ansible. You have a good amount of well thought out examples, very well written explanations for things, and links to other related functions.

I found the performance very poor and had to discontinue using it. It permanently pinned 4 cores on the remote server where VS Code used <0.25 (codebase was a very small Django app)

I have both an Android (personal primary device) and an iPhone (work phone).

For me by far the number one reason I use my Android device is the Internet browsing differences. Firefox Nightly with all the add-ons I use (first of all uBlock Origin, but so many more) and the sync to desktop Firefox is night and day compared to Safari (with an adblocker).

New comment by marcolussetti in "Kagi/Orion status update: First three months"

marcolussetti — Sat, 03 Sep 2022 01:01:22 +0000

The $0.125 is fascinating. According to my stats I query Google between 2500 and 3500 times a month. That would be a $300/mo. bill for Kagi?

I guess most people don't query as much as I do, but seems like it would need quite a number of people underquerying to make up for users who would be similar to me?

marcolussetti — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 14:48:49 +0000

Firefox Nightly for Android supports most desktop extensions. It is clunky to enable them (you have to create a collection and then subscribe to it) and being a nightly build it does have some instability, but it works out pretty well.

Only caveat I've really found is that it gets stuck on the Guardian's website (after a few clicks).

This is where I think the OS "vendor" packaging application model (e.g. Linux distribution) is very nice. I periodically update everything, and don't really need to worry about each application.

There are a few exceptions (Discord sabotages it with mandatory updates, and I use Jetbrains-Toolbox's update mechanism) but for the most part it works out very well.
