> GitHub is a web-based front-end to Git.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

208 mentions of GitHub.

4 mentions of Gitea.

3 mentions of GitLab.

Why is it so biased and why is it helping to continue to teach people to centralized git.


It seems that Beej built this guide to help his students. More of them are probably using Git and GitHub in anger than the other tools.

Interestingly enough, searching for ě on the page finds the ĕ as well, but so does search for e...


At least in Firefox the search pane has a ‘Match Diacritics’ option. Turning it on causes it to match only the precise characters in the textbox. (It’s slightly misnamed, since it doesn’t just handle diacritics, but also cases like ⟨e⟩ vs ⟨ɛ⟩.)

And it's not offline.


A while back nobody would believe that Google's search dominance could be disturbed... and now many have either switched away or stopped using search altogether. It takes me two clicks to set a search to DDG, Kagi or other and Google has lost this customer (often a family) forever.

So let them be arrogant and loose their YouTube customers over time too.


Google still has close to 90% market share with DDG being a little more than a half percent.

Edit:Wrong year - that was 2020 this is 2024

You've linked to 2020.

2024 is at https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share/all/wo..., but the numbers seem to be identical.


Change is sometimes slow. Let’s see how Google does as a century old company.

In the grand scheme of things, they’re still a fairly young giant.


The thing is I see it everywhere around me. People don't care looking for a better search engine. Worse I am pretty sure that most people do not know they can choose their search engine and can define whatever is used when searching in the url bar.


Sure, today. Right now.

That’s what I’m saying. Search engines are still a part young technology in the grand scheme of things.

No reason to believe this is the end state.


From what I see, people don't even care to search anymore. They mostly go direct to an app.


I didn’t realize I was looking at the 2020 stats. But the 2024 stats are the same


Defining the market correctly is always an important first step. Those numbers don't include LLMs.


While I’ve been using ChatGPT with web search for almost two years as a paid user, the majority of people don’t and that has just gone free in the last few months.

But when I just want a simple search, I still use Google first out of habit.

Thank you very much.

It would be useful to have dates for created and for edited on the articles. With the huge scope of the SQLite project, I have no idea whether this is historical, current, or upcoming.


History on the SQLite repo seems to say this was added Sep 10, 2024

https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/commit/a9c8f7cf34545f410e94...


And made it to the news section of the SQLite site on Oct. 21st 2024:

Interesting. On the funny side, glad to hear there are more then 100 of these companies because workers in these companies probably need to ask a competition to hand their resignation letter.


It's a good start, and please do more... Even small QOL improvements like tab completion for filenames are important and is what makes me to install ipython at this point.


Glad to see someone else to use solarized light in terminal. I have this in terminal, vim, mc... custom tweaked and I love it.
