Wget with AI that hallucinates HTML to reduce bandwidth.

I learn a lot while I search. LLMs may or may not hallucinate, and I’m not learning.

Try wget2 instead, it’s faster.

You don’t and cannot finance Firefox. Mozilla gets all the money. I would love a Firefox subscription, but the CEO grabs all the millions.

If you have better ideas…

Line goes down :(

And most importantly, what is your mother’s maiden name?

I don’t know how those search engines evolved, but last time I checked (a few years ago), Qwant was the worst search engine ever, and DDG was pretty average. I don’t know how Kagi works, but it’s good for every query. I usually don’t recommend it because it’s expensive ($10 a month) but it really changed how I work, especially for programming topics.

As an example, Qwant still uses w3schools as the reference for C++, which is some “4chan trolling” level of stupidity.

It feels like spam to mention Kagi since it’s all over the place (even on Hacker News), but I’ve been a subscriber since the beginning and it made me a “2x programmer” due to their good results.

If I had no money left, I would try SearXNG.

IMHO, perfect albums that you can listen to from the beginning to the end without skipping anything:

• Guns n’ Roses, Use Your Illusion 1 & 2
• Radiohead, OK Computer
• Portishead, Portishead
• Bjork, Homogenic

I think you actually can make a reasonable scientific case for the existence of the supernatural

Can you explain how you would use the scientific method on the supernatural?

It is bad practice. You’ll obviously have 0 warnings if you hide the warnings. You don’t go from warnings to YOLO mode. You should compile with “warnings as errors” and fix those if you want to really remove those warnings.

He actually believes that ghosts exist while proclaiming to be an atheist who thinks the scientific method is flawed. He’s pretty retarded and we’re pointing it out.

If it’s not a cooldown period as that other guy said, you may contact the scammer new owner, he will ask for a billion dollars and it’s up to you whether that domain was important enough. Consider finding a new one right now if you can.

Try to buy it to see who is holding it to scam people.

Dupe and old, are you a bot?

I’m not a freelance but I have thought about it, and a friend of mine has been doing this for years. He’s a software project manager but developers are still popular of course.

You will have some kind of administrative stuff to take care of. In France you can use the “portage salarial” which is a company that takes care of getting money from your clients, pays taxes, gives you a salary, and gives you some kind of healthcare and retirement program.

You will make much more money but you have to make sure your taxes are taken care of.

As for the clients themselves, you can have long missions (up to 3, 4, or 5 years) but most of the time it seems that my friend finds new jobs thanks to previous clients or coworkers. If you’re new, you can bootstrap your clients’ list with full-remote offers from LinkedIn or other job boards.

It can still found in some places in France. It’s quite good, a bit like beef with less fat.

You will soon get a performance improvement plan because of your freethinking and stubbornness. Then they will fire you.
