Yep it’s a superb book, definitely read/listen to it. (there’s a new book out by John Tye too, another Concorde pilot.) And if you’re in the UK, visit Brooklands Museum where you can go on one where they’ve replicated some the noise, m

One thing I find increasingly frustrating is reading an article where bits of it are plausible but the whole thing feels "off" and not being sure why. It's too verbose or vague. Was it AI generated? Someone working in a conte

I think it's kind of a combination - not having the tools pulled from under you, but also the device to device portability he mentions, and having all your content in text (or whatever) in a directory structure you control. And yes, it

In relative terms, it's not huge - NYT is no more specific than hundreds, so let's say 500, out of 182,000 - that's 0.27% (though obviously a higher impact on engineering - you might that would be what they'd cut last).

> Multi device sync is not there without some effort but I don’t really care to mix my personal history with my work machines anyway. Yep, obviously there are many benefits to per-device history, but I think I'd find it more annoyin

It's better for the environment as well, because you're not throwing the whole thing out/leaving it to the whim of whoever is supposed to recycle it, plus you can selective change components that are bothering you - keyboard,

- kept an iPhone 6S for nearly 7 years (2 battery replacements), now using an SE 3rd Gen (to keep old tech I like - touch ID and LCD rather than OLED - still a bit suspicious about headaches, given I use it phone low brightness) - used a 20

Have you tried Kagi? It's subscription and doesn't really do what you suggest, but it's results are good, you can prioritise and block specific sites and they have a project called Kagi Small Web: https://blog.kagi

Not used it for a year or two (got to a 365-day streak then decided to stop). What annoyed me most was they became one of "those" companies that goes to extreme lengths to make themselves impossible to contact (except for billing
