I used a combo of DDG (for most searches) and sometimes search.marginalia.nu (for some searches) and Google (if nothing else worked, but I think half the time Google didn't work either) until I started using Kagi. Since then I feel I h

English is not my first language, but I am good enough that I still think I was justified to be (slightly) surprised when they started charging.

But compressed images were free forever until they weren't, right?

I have tried out Bing some times earlier and I think I can confirm that until the last few years another reason why Google won was because they were better. The last few years I feel Google has become so hilariously bad at search that I did

For me it seems to be. I have used the free compressed photos option the whole time and one day I was suddenly many many gigabytes over limit.

Another example: when free high quality (slightly downscaled) photo storage turned into paid after I had used it as backup of almost sll my photos during my android days? (To be fair, both Dropbox and OneDrive has done the same: offered fre

Unlike Google who has incentives to promote the spam Kagi has incentives to fight the spam. Also Kagi lets me blacklist domains myself if I want stricter rules than Kagi already provide.

> The "effort" is using the same typo detection algorithm you use for non-quoted search to display the same warning If you were a paying customer you could submit this idea in the forums and someone will actually look into it.

But you wouldn't tell your kid: we are going to visit your paternal grandmother, right? That is the distinction I tried to make above between academic and everyday language.

If this is more important to you than all the things I have listed above then I don't think Kagi is the right search engine for you.

I wasn't sure because this never bothered me so I did a little experiment by searching for "does it warn about mispellings" (Note the intentional misspelling above.) And here is the result: We haven’t found anything.

I would have accepted it if it was something people would actually say, even if it was written like two words or more. Example: sister/brother in law is something that is close enough even if it isn't written in one word like Norw

Yes. In four ways for me: - it actually respects my search. If I search for "<some word or phrase that doesn't exist>" I get no result. It doesn't silently twist my search until it gets something it can show me a m

It is Norwegian. And it is serious. And I am not saying the concept doesn't exist, only that as far as I am aware there is no usable everyday word for it. I mean: nobody will tell their kids they are going to visit dads mum and dads da

I am fairly sure English doesn't have (or at least does not use) separate everyday words for farmor/farfar (fathers mother / fathers mother) or mormor/morfar (same for mothers parents). Sure in academic language there is

The good thing about Maven is it is XML so everyone wants to keep it as short as possible ;-) (More seriously: with Maven shorter and more boring is a sign that everything is correctly configured. Maven works by the convention over configur

Just start with the fact that all desktop programs had a menu bar where you could find every feature - and at least on Windows - also a shortcut for that feature. This was broken with Ribbon and the hamburger menus that every application se

Then again, Gradle has come to show why that is a terrible idea. I think at some point 24 out of 28 Gradle projects I had access to at a certain customer had variations in either kotlin/Groovy style or the way they did or didn't u

You make a small small backend-for-frontend that translates requests from the browser to calls to the Apache POI library and return the information to the browser, probably as some kind of json representation.

The worst I had was an alarm clock app that cost somewhere $3 - $6 a month (it has been a while) but still wanted to collect data on me. Worst part was while I decided against using it, it still took a while before I found a replacement. S

Is thread locked up compared to zigbee somehow? (I honestly don't know and was thinking Matter and Thread were somehow related and the were both good and I hope someone can confirm or explain what I am missing.)

Possibly even worse: When the UX designer decided that greyed out buttons are terrible UX and bans them, so instead of disabling them (greying them out) you have to remove them if they aren't clickable. Now, instead of being puzzled by
