Grinnell 17' here. At first I didn't enjoy intro with Racket. But by the end I changed my mind and it ended up being one of my favorite courses. In retrospect that class easily had the most impact on me during my CS major... I still have quite a few functional programming habits. These days I like to code in elixir for side projects, which has quite a few similarities.

Anyways, cool to see another alum here! I hope the department keeps it around for a while longer :)

Like any good yakshaving programmer, i built/use my own note taking / TODO app. Now I want to implement a feature where I can send a SMS to my app, and it will save the text/media to my database. Seems like a lot less friction than using the UI on my phones browser if I just need to save a quick note.

the act of writing it down probably makes them remember it.

I’m surprised they weren’t doing this already . This is standard for CC companies afaik.

Fair criticisms, but at the end of the day, Kagi offers a better search experience then all the alternatives for a fair price, so I pay for it. I don't really need to have 'faith' in it, though I do hope it sticks around.

Also, can't wait to get my tshirt! (closed beta user here)

I live about 180 miles north of silicon valley. The only utility I get here is high speed internet via a radio receiver in a redwood tree[0]. I just tested and I'm getting 20mb down/30 up, 30ms ping. Plenty for wifi calling, video calls, etc. I'm surprised your WISP has such poor performance?

Yeah, I believe they send DSL through the same lines that they don't want to support anymore.

Seems like a pretty good outcome to me?

Not useful for people who live in areas without cell service. These folks will have no way to make calls from home if ATT pulls out.

My usecase that doesn't work is using Emacs on a high DPI screen. I'll move over to sway as soon we get a native Emacs Wayland build.
