The article doesn’t mention Kagi: The Assistant, a search-powered LLM frontend that came out of closed beta around the beginning of the year, and got included in all paid plans since yesterday. It really is a game changer when the search en

I don’t see what’s clumsy about it. Is it that ‘stub’ seems to be part of the non-test API and gets exposed in production? I’m not sure why this isn’t just called mock-testing. In Scala using tagless final, I’ve seen an entire database laye

LSP in the editor means you get feedback while you code. Having compiler feedback in the terminal is workable, but not as good.

Zed is snappy, but it also doesn’t have a rich plugin ecosystem yet. In that way it’s much like Vim, Emacs, Helix: powertools that need a lot of configuring.

Yeah, kill them with kindness. Moving forward from a bad experience can be difficult, but feeling the need to badmouth means something is holding you back from being great right now, and you’re the one paying the price.

Now my recommendation is: VSCodium, the telemetry-free (and apparently ad-free) version of VSCode. I’ve used this for two years, downloading extensions from Open-VSX. I switched from Vim to Emacs in 2012 because Emacs had superior language

Why can't we have personal assistants because the open web has been dead? I'll be happy with a personal assistant with access to my paid APIs.

Since I make most things in Rust nowadays, and the article references the pointlessness of FastCGI when you can write native Rust apps, FastCGI has, for me, entered the realm of the forever undying. I configured it many times in the past, s

Like the spinning silhouette of a ballerina, you can make it spin both ways. You can see a sun with a house, and you can see a butt with an object penetrating. But admittedly, it's pretty hard to unsee the butt once you think about it.

I've found Kagi's Universal Summarizer useful for: - Long reads when I just want to know the conclusion - Reading terms of services that I would otherwise have blindly accepted - Summarizing key requirements in large tende

And sometimes you have all the data, but it’s too much, so you ask for a summary and ask elaborating questions.

Probably 70% of my searches are FastGPT searches, meaning I end my search query with a ‘?’ and Kagi summarises the results, so I don’t need to click. And the ratio between using search engine and Kagi’s LLM agent with search is still 70% se

My impression is that once we didn’t want to call jails for containers to differentiate them to jails’ advantage: they’re essentially more secure. They’re not just containers (if your frame of reference is Linux). But since containers hav
