Well put. Lots of people in the comments have a nostalgic vision of Paris it seems.

Just did, it's the worse city in France. A few cycle lanes won't fix it.

Correct. Rich people can easily afford the congestion charges and higher parking fees. These policies impact working class people more.

Exactly.

I think Paris has bigger problems to worry about.

Actually it should help with both, because a on-island terminal would also provide LNG storage capacity which would buffer short-term price fluctuations. We have zero such storage. Again, our poor decision making around national infrastruc

A LNG terminal would help. Lots of bad infrastructure decisions have left us extremely exposed to those external shocks you mentioned.

Another Irishman here, completely agree with your comment. My domestic gas and electric bills have never been higher, insane inflation for nothing more than political virtue signalling.

This is not a design decision, it's legislation.

When did we get to vote on this?

It's sad to see such big brother crap in Linux, which sees like the exact opposite of the hacker ethos it was originally built upon.

Oh no! I just finished reading Hyperion this week and it has become one of my favorite books of all time. I will treasure my signed copy more so now, RIP.

I huge Lucene index for storage and search, with a custom crawler that I wrote myself. It's a fun engineering problem.

I'm working on the language improvements presently, but I need to clean out a lot of bad entries in my index. In essence what I am trying to say is many servers ignore "Accept-Language" so you have to rely on other means of

Yes correct, that is where the name comes from.

It's a difficult problem to fix, you can set an Accept-Language header on crawl requests but his only works if the target website uses "Content Negotiation." Some sites ignore headers and determine language based on the IP ad

Nice find, will review!

Couldn't agree more! The early pioneers of the Internet were hackers and tinkers, I've tried to maintain the same ethos.

Appreciate the detailed feedback! A lot of the JS trickery and URL shenanigans I'm doing is to prevent bot spam attempts, which was a real problem in the beginning.

I am definitely not trying to complete with Google, instead I am offering an old-school "just search" engine with no tracking, personalization filtering, or AI. It's driven by my own personal nostalgia for the early Internet,
