We use Copilot to review PRs at work. It loves these kinds of scenarios.
The other day, I was adjusting a drop-down site filter to only show options that would work for the given user. It threw up a “critical vulnerability alert” complaining that I “validated” the user’s selection based on all options, not just the ones they can view.
First off, it wasn’t validation. It was me getting the value of the option. Second, they literally couldn’t do anything if they did select one of those options. And third, the user could bypass it about a dozen other ways, even if I designed it to be a validator.
Because you just taught your computer how to be lazy. “oH lOoK aT mE i’M sWaP mEmOrY”
Keep in mind that, by default, POSIX systems assume you don’t actually want to spend all that time checking all the files on your system. You need to also use the flag --no-preserve-root.
Please don’t use swear words like “Fr*nch” on this Christian post.
It usually has better results. The features alone, however, put it above DDG.
Rankings aren’t static. You can block a site, pin it to the top of results, or just derank/promote it.
Want to redirect a domain? You can do that.
Want to see specific results? Like PDFs only, or maybe just small web, educational, news stories, forums, or whatever? Use a lens!
Love AI summaries? You can use them! Hate AI summaries? Don’t worry, they’re off by default and require you to press the small “Summarize” button.
You probably understand bangs, right? Using !w will search Wikipedia. You probably also know that some sites, such as Reddit, have shit results so using !r would be worthless. Kagi supports bangs but also has what they call “snaps” - if you type @w, it will be replaced with site:wikipedia.com.
Oh, yeah, one more thing. No ads. There are no risks of misaligned interests between you, Kagi, and their advertisers.
Here’s an idea. Do this with a giant ass logo. Put a banner underneath it with a link saying something like “Add this for FREE to your own business’ website!”
It would have two main benefits. First, it’s still a giant ad for their project. Second, it would shame the company into sponsoring because now everyone can see how cheap they are.
