Re:Google changes its search box
on Wednesday May 20, 2026 @10:49AM (#48208801)
According to Wikipedia "As of April 2024, Kagi listed that its sources for search results were derived from Google, Brave Search, Mojeek and Yandex" so I suppose Google won't be available there as a source anymore? And perhaps all others in the future if they choose the same path.
Re:I’ve banned query strings

I noticed that ChatGPT started to add the utm_source parameters for all links it recommends. For example, for GitHub links. Not sure if this critical or not but it could affect users for sure if URLs with any query parameters are blocked.

Sometimes cross-references don't have links, is this expected? For example, here https://britannica11.org/article/26-0828-theosophy/theosophy there is no links for BOEHME and SWEDENBORG but all other references have the links.

I've read that there were very rare conditions to launch Voyagers which gave them tremendous advantage with gravitational maneuvers. It happens very rarely, I don't remember the exact periods but maybe it happens once per hundreds of years.

Oh, I was very wrong, my apologies!
I was sure this one was for Python from 3.7 up to 3.10. But it is still here.. But as for 2026 it will not stay forever as it was supposed to - there are 2 PEPs which are suppose to fix it in Python 3.14 - https://peps.python.org/pep-0649/ and https://peps.python.org/pep-0749/

All modern AI tools tend to put `from __future__ import annotations` line into Python code which isn't required by recent Python versions.
I guess this is because they all are trained on an intermediate code bases when this was required some times (even at that time the real usage was quite rare).
And now this line is parroting everywhere like a junk DNA :)

I'd add some reasonable water supplies, at least bottled, and some pills to disinfect water from rivers, springs etc could be handy as well.
