On Firefox, I use a uBlock Origin script to block Twitch ads. (Normal filters don't work on Twitch.) Is it possible to block Twitch ads with uBO-Lite as well?


Do you mind sharing which uBlock Origin script you use for blocking ads on Twitch? I tried one a while ago but didn't get it to work.


The problem isn't the IDE, but that we are still using a programming language 24 years old.


What does a more recent language offer that C# doesn't and that would enable more powerful IDEs?


Verified pre and post conditions would be nice. Especially in the era of LLM's, which can usually fill in the implementation given a sufficiently clear specification.


Eiffel is also well over 24 years old (but Albatross is more recent)


What's the problem? Golang is more than a decade old. Python predates Linux. Common Lisp with ANSI C is from early 90's too, but it began as Lisp in the 50's.


Some people in the comments claim CS was used for compliance reasons. Some others claim Windows & CS do not offer warranties. How can a product satisfy the compliance check-box, if it does not offer the warranty and not accept liability for the related features?


While software is often warranted, contracts won't often accept liability in terms of business damages etc, and that's not usually a requirement for compliance.

If it was, it would also make it impractical for a small business to contract with a large one because of risk.


Kagi is pretty good, but as someone living in a 3rd world country, it is too expensive. They say 300 queries/month is enough for almost everyone, but I've almost reached that amount in just a few days. And few cents per query adds up when I do multiple searches per topic, times ten for currency weakness.

AI search engines like perplexity.ai are too slow, and I end up clicking the referenced links anyway.

Once my Kagi credits are used up, I'll go back to DDG, which has better results than google in my experience. Though reddit being gone makes it hard to tell rn.


Give mojeek a try. It is keyword based, not query based ( they explain on their home page) and it works very nicely and there is no cost.


There is the esoteric "Cosmological Natural Selection" theory that predicts the discrepancies. This guy at https://theeggandtherock.substack.com/archive explains his version of this theory (albeit in an emotional way) that I find a pleasant read.


It's an amazing theory that I now share.
