  • That’s the exact issue I was talking about, and the last comment I read when I last checked was the one right a one what you linked lol.

    I tried 4get before and the catches were extremely 4chan cringe, kind of turned me off it, but I’ll have to try it again if they have a fix.

    It’s nice to see the searxng atleast has a possible temp work around that looks like it will be merged soon.

    Thanks for the helpful info!


  • Is the a public instance you recommend? Because since Google broke their Api, the main one I used is always rate limited and only returns completely unrelated Bing results (no matter what settings you use or other engines you enable). I started trying other instances on the list, and gave up after about 5 when they all had the same problem, and last I checked they haven’t been able to work around the changes Google made, at least as of a week or 2 ago according the updates on the github issue.




  • It’s funny because when I was in school I use to get lectured for not showing my work the way it was taught, but I didn’t like the way it was taught so I came up with my own method. Turns out my method is now what they teach in school (basically, and obviously completely a coincidence).

    If you’d like more research and context, the term to search for is “common core math”.

    Based on your other comments though, you’ve mostly got it down already though, but for the exact steps you’ll be able to find pretty easily.

    Rough example (don’t quote me on it though, not a teacher): 12 x 7 isn’t as “intuitive” as 10 x 7 or 12 x 5. So you do (10 x 7) + (2 x 7) = 70 + 14 = 84. You find the “common” “core” to make it easier, kind of like how we handled multipling fractions. The over all objective is to make it easier to do math quickly in your head, but since they are teaching it to kids, you have to prove you understand the thought process, which makes it seem like it’s just over complicating things.

    Either way though, kudos to you for trying to learn the new way and helping your kid with their homework in general. No matter what your kid will turn out great with a parent who shows they care like you do.
