   IMO, trying to do something that's usually (a) inherently intrinsically motivated + (b) operates on long timelines, is exactly the sort of thing that: 1. Cannot be easily captured via "metrics", and 2. Is resistant to being &

   Good analogies! It also kinda follows from your "public space" analogy, that the loudest people screaming the most obnoxious and entertaining insults, will dominate this space. Extending your analogy a bit further, this "publ

   Did you mean Tailscale, or Tailwind? I'm interested in replicating your setup, so if you happen to have a blog post or some other HOWTO resource, that would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance!

   What are you running it inside? VMWare, VirtualBox? I had a tough time trying to get my Aeotec Gen5 Zstick to passthrough. I'd love to know what your setup is, since it sounds like you've been successful in connecting USB devices

   A lot of the underpinnings of such a manually-curated knowledge base did exist in the early 2000s, in the form of Yahoo! Directory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Directory

    Thank you for creating redblob -- I've personally benefited from that resource, and TIL that you explicitly designed it for longevity (which makes sense in hindsight).

    The smartest people in the world attacked this question ("what do we use it for?") in the 90s, and nobody was able to come up with a killer app (as in, widely-applicable-once-mass-produced) then. I don't know what's fun

    It appears that the service is not working, but I haven't seen any official updates on this (yet).

    Echoing parent, and I'd like to reinforce this for gp -- you can bring it back in < 1 week, if you write for 30 minutes every day. I was forced to learn this dreaded skill in grade school, and said "good riddance" to it in

    I had to jump in and comment, because "pocket glass supercomputer" has been one of my favorite personal (or so I thought, until now) neologisms. It tickles me to think that there are others who think about (and name) smartphones t

    Being niche is okay, but being sustainable is vital. There are many ways to articulate this, and I'm not an unqualified fan of pg, but he did capture this wisdom very well in "Do Things That Don't Scale" [1] [1] https:&

    Same here. Perhaps your happiness is due to Kagi being (right now anyway) an entity whose incentives line up with what's best for its end-users? This could definitely change, but today, it looks like a genuine attempt to break out of t

    We are definitely stuck in a (very suboptimal) local maximum. It reminds me of "Meditations on Moloch": > Every single citizen hates the system, but for lack of a good coordination mechanism it endures. From a god’s-eye-view, w

    Another vote of support for kagi.com -- it's well worth the payment. Our (collective) disinclination towards paying for things on the Internet is what has led to the "everything must be monetized via ads" local maxima we&#x27

    To GP: this is very true. The parent comment's third paragraph is a superb strategy to consider. Of course, if your mind's made up, you'll just have to realize this for yourself, through first-hand experience.
