Wow, I’ll have to remember that. I always am fumbling to get to an http site to redirect when I go on the train or somewhere.
Absolutely! A great suggestion. Even more important for countries with multiple dominant languages. Switzerland comes to mind: four official languages, a pretty even split between French, German, and Italian, and a large number of non-native speakers who prefer English.

It drives me crazy when these are coupled because they have to make an opinionated choice that, for the Swiss use case, has to be wrong for the majority of users.

It doesn’t do live crawling, so might not be quite what you want, but I built Stork Search (https://stork-search.net) to solve full-text search for static sites.

Today, you’d run a binary as part of a site’s build or deploy process, feeding in the input files. It generates a search index which you deploy alongside your site. The project’s JS library will load that index and turn it into a client-side interactive search interface.

I’d be curious to see if this sounds interesting or workable for you - you mentioned that you don’t want to host your own index, but does that change if “hosting the index” feels similar to hosting an image, instead of spinning up a server?

I’d be interested in building a paid addition that will crawl your site & host the index - you’re probably the 2nd person I’ve seen with that suggestion. Please let me know if you’d be interested in being a beta user.
By the way: if you can, it would probably be wise to drop justified alignment, and make text aligned to the left. Rectangle blocks of text only look good from a distance—when actually trying to read, the differing inter-word spaces just make the experience jarring. It's especially bad on phones, which is a prime use-case for the HTML conversion.

(Though, from ‘tell HN’, the poster is probably not the site author, right?)
Great. It wasn't when I submitted this.

Gotta love HN :)
There are parallels to Discord; the HN audience knows Discord well and so if we were only trying to appeal to this audience we would probably market it that way. A large chunk (possibly the majority) of our existing users don't know about Discord though and it doesn't make sense to purely market it in relation to that.

There are also some noticeable differences, particularly:
- integrations are focused on work products, eg calendar, rather than what games you are playing etc
- rooms (similar to Discord voice channel) can be shared on a calendar for guests
- we prioritize different things in screenshare (quality over FPS, since it's for work not gaming)
I don't entirely disagree. I suppose I should have said "less biased". Imagine how biased "context checking" sites would be. Facts at least sort of have an appeal to an objective reality outside of politics.
Also reminds me of the intro to Creature Comfort by Arcade Fire.
>Before the customer leaves the store, two tokens appear in her digital wallet. The first is an NFT version of her new sneakers, usable in any game or virtual world she chooses. The second is an authenticated NFT receipt, which admits her into your exclusive online community of verified sneaker-lovers.

The first is an unobtainable, unrealistic goal that ultimately sours the idea of NFTs in the eyes of anyone that bought into them, thinking it was possible (or even viable to somehow encourage every game/world developer to put in the unpaid work to support arbitrary meshes, textures, mappings, animations, etc).

The second could have been an email, or even just a URL/code on the receipt.
I've considered similar companies as a customer and I could never figure out why paying for such an API would be better than just purchasing a company database.

I'm an engineer, ceo, and investor. I'm looking for projects where I can help with my money/connections/skills to build things now which will then later turn into passive income. My strong suit is AI and process automation.
Wait now I'm confused... Ricky is a diminutive form of Richard and Bobby is a diminutive form of Robert - what's the link?
DBus is an IPC protocol, it is the first thing the specification[0] mentions, there isn't any way where it would make sense for it to be used in-process nor the spec provides for such functionality. Some higher level library could potentially provide an API for exposing and consuming (object) interfaces that can be accessed either in-process or out-of-process, though only the latter would really be using DBus and the former would bypass it (and both would be only really usable only by users of that library, not anything using DBus).

DCOP is/was also an IPC protocol, though much simpler than DBus as it was essentially about passing arbitrary data between processes with some IDs attached (the higher level API did pretend that they were objects and method calls but the -still public- lower level API worked in terms of string identifiers and data streams), which makes it unsuitable for a cross-language ABI. KPart however (which is still being developed and part of KDE) is sort of a relative idea to COM in that it is really something similar (in concept) to ActiveX, so it could handle some uses (though it lacks the genericness of COM), except it being C++ based also makes it impractical for a cross-language ABI - which is the entire reason COM was brought up (and why IPC approaches like DBus and DCOP aren't relevant to what was discussed).

You probably already know this, but "an EU entity [for] hiring" means very different things for EU citizens than for permanent residents or visa holders/seekers.

Since the EU is not an immigration union, as a permanent resident of Germany I am only allowed to work in Germany, not in any other EU country. Granted, I could probably get a work visa for another EU country, but if I wanted to remain a German resident things would get tricky very fast.

For fresh or prospective immigrants it's generally less favorable; and every EU country has different regulations as well as attitudes to immigrants from different regions.

Thus I recommend, when you get to that point, that you do some research about which EU countries are most advantageous to you and your potential workforce, and open subsidiaries in the countries that make sense. Probably more than one, out of the gate. Because missing out on the pool of immigrant talent in Europe is probably not your goal.

And congratulations on the funding!
> People generally drive the safe speed for the road they are travelling on.

Can you substantiate that assertion somehow? People drive the speed that they feel safe with, but that is not necessarily true. It may be safe most of the time, but change due to external circumstances. It’s safe most of the time to drive 50km/h in a residential zone, except that one time when a child jumps out from behind a car.

Private browsing mode is always my first test for these weird issues. Usually it then boils down to an extension, cookies or cache. It sounds like you only cleared ycombinator related cookies. Maybe it’s worth clearing everything?

Yep, and those two gallons aren't even remotely close. It's the most annoying thing on car forums, because someone will always say "oh my car gets 30mpg but everyone here says they are getting 40mpg!"

Can you try Lynx/Brave/Waterfox as well? I'd personally be curious to diff the HN cookie stored in each browser and see if there's a difference unique to FF.

I'd also be curious to diff the HTTP requests sent from each browser, particularly FF vs FF forks.
Yea, so instead it would just encourage more 3rd party libraries doing random things on your site. This is what happens in native. Instead of embedding an ad in an iframe and isolating its damage you embed your ad service's library in your code and it spies on way more activity than it ever could otherwise.
Hi, I'm working on solutions to currency inflation and would love some help. Similar to a COLA (cost of living adjustment) on your salary, I think people should receive a COLA on their savings. Inflation destroys economies and lives all over the world, due mostly to uncontrolled currency printing by gov't. And, as obvious as it may sound, we don't have to sit back and just accept it anymore. We can build tools that protect people, and their savings, from dramatic losses in value. To do that, I am building an NFT "Russian doll" that is linked to CPI (consumer price index). How does it work?: As CPI rises past a predetermined level, the smart contract in the Russian Doll nft will auto-mint the holder a new NFT (Russian Doll #2), which the holder can then sell to cover inflation. Buyer of Russian Doll #2 gets same inflation protection, as CPI rises past a predetermined level, RD #2 auto-mints RD #3, and on and on.

As governments print more money, and prices rise, the hope is that citizens can use these NFTs to combat that rise in price. That is the basic idea, which we can iterate on. I'm super excited about it simply because I think it has the potential to do a lot of good in this world. look forward to hearing from anyone interested, please reach out!!! (pdeckr at gmail).

Luxembourg Ministry of Education | Statistical Officer / Data Scientist / Data Engineer | Onsite with partly remote | Full-Time

We keep the data of students, grades, teachers, ... and answer requests related to education by other national institutions, international bodies (OECD, PISA study, ...) or from within the ministry.
We try to help schools, teachers and kids by facilitating data exchange, automation and visualization. And we try to measure / predict the impact of policy changes.

The team is extremely international and interdisciplinary. The working language is English but you'll hear a LOT of other languages. Don't worry, you're not supposed to speak all of them.

We're based in Luxembourg City in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, right between Germany, France and Belgium.

We use postgres / Oracle, R, Qlik, some Clojure/script and are phasing out Access.

Since this is a state job you'll need to fulfill a few requirements that are imposed by law but that we don't necessarily agree with, most importantly

- you have a Master (or equivalent) in a MINT subject or a degree related to Statistics or Education. This degree needs to be recognized by some country in the EU

- you are a EU national

- you speak two of the three official languages (which are German, French, Luxembourgish) at levels C1 and B2.

- you speak English level B2 or better

A few remarks on the language requirements:

- There is an exemption if you spent at least 3 years at a university in a country where that language is spoken

- a certificate of language proficiency from a recognized institute is also considered as ok. Otherwise you do a test where you need to have 60% of the points, so it's basically not full B2 / C1 that they're asking. The language test will be done after our hiring decision so you will have a few weeks to really ramp up your language skills.

- A test for a missing language can also be postponed. So if you fulfill less than the requirements but are a good match and you're confident you can catch up in a year, this is also a possibility that you could ask for (I can't guarantee this will be granted though)

- If you speak German or maybe Dutch, it's possible to quickly learn Luxembourgish (with some effort) because it's IMHO as close as Spanish is to Portuguese.

Initial salary is 80k€+, 32 days of paid leave p.a.

The official job offering is only in French (because that's the formal language here) but I'll help you out if you have questions. In any case, you'd be working with me, so shoot me an email, you can find it in my profile.

I don't see anything good about this or Solana, it is still a centralised ponzi scheme like the rest of all the crypto coins.

How can Solana be the next Visa if it keeps going down every time. If this system is going down now, it certainly cannot scale when more people use it.

Author here, it's true that GNU tar auto-detects compression when specifying a local tarball to extract. However when piping a file stream to tar to extract it actually doesn't auto-detect and fails if you don't explicitly specify a compression type. Should have made that more clear in the post.

Another aspect is that "science" is never a settled-and-done, I-told-you-so sort of matter. It's a process of hopefully disinterested individuals making discoveries and comparing results.

For example, FTE: "America is an outlier regarding its vaccine policy for young people. Numerous other countries have taken a far more conservative approach. The UK allows a third dose only for 12 to 15-year-olds who have serious medical conditions that put them at high risk or who live with a vulnerable person. Finland has a similar policy for 12 to 17-year-olds. In Ireland no one under 16 can receive a booster. Denmark, Sweden, Japan, and Spain, are among the countries that have approved boosters for adults only. Some countries don’t recommend Covid vaccines for healthy children at all, or just one dose. Norway’s Institute of Public Health, for example, states: “12-15-year-olds already have high protection against a severe disease course after the first vaccine dose.”

Maybe researchers in those countries know something that we don't. Maybe we should risk being a little more conservative when we're talking about giving our children shots which may do more harm than good. If that's a "talking point of the right", and makes you think that I vote Republican or supported Donald Trump, I'm sorry, but that's simply not the case.

This is a bad take. Oracle today is worth $216B. Over the last 15 years Oracle, under the leadership of Ellison, has grown 5x in value, returning significant shareholder value. I personally very much dislike Oracle and its products, but I have to respect Larry Ellison for his performance as an executive.
I would define "corrupt" as hindering the profitability or stated objectives of the organization[1]. If a team hired to get the job done happens not to be diverse, that doesn't mean the hiring is corrupt. For instance, winning NBA teams don't tend to be very diverse, but I don't see anyone seriously suggesting the NBA draft is corrupt.

By that token, if your company tends to hire a certain sort of person, that is by no means an indication of corruption. I certainly don't see what's inherently corrupt about submitting a job application, going through interviews, and ultimately being hired, mostly by strangers.

When you say you want the solution to be "fair", what do you mean exactly? If a Chinese restaurant staffed entirely by Chinese people hires only additional Chinese people, with the intent of maintaining the efficiency of a culturally homogenous environment, is it fair? Does it matter? It certainly isn't corrupt. Doesn't this apply to every business and any culturally discriminatory hiring criteria?

I see you tried private browsing and it works, so that would imply a bug in something that runs when not private browsing, so most likely a plugin that is blocking something.

Start doing a plugin bisection and see if you can find the offending plugin.
For the actual pure sounds that's right, but I believe there's still more to be done in the effects area (autotune etc) and instrument interfaces.
An annoying "feature" of firefox is that if you (even temporarily) run low on storage it will go into a mode where localstorage (and indexdb?) stop working. This makes a lot of sites break for seemingly no reason. You have to restart Firefox to fix it.
Quirrel Joins Netlify and Scheduled Functions Launches in Beta
I've discussed a similar concern in another hackernews post, though there I suggested improvements to the C language itself since it's the one standard everyone is somewhat forced to follow.

The problem with such an ABI is getting people to use it, there's no single entity with enough power to enforce it.

I've thought of tackling the problem in another direction, making a simple C-like language (but slightly higher level) which uses the C ABI but with proper support for slices/strings/interfaces/errors/etc. and automatically produces wrapper code for mainstream languages (C++, Java, C#, Swift).

The wrappers wouldn't be idiomatic code in the host language, but they'd be directly usable, whereas right now wrapping a "C" library (even when produced by a higher level language) requires recovering all of the semantic information in an additional, library-dependent high-level wrapper.

For example, some SMT solvers expose quite nice C APIs, but to use them in say... Python, you'd need to use ctypes and a lot of low level code, which is why they go out of their way to expose wrapper APIs.

Some solvers like Yices2 have really low level Python wrappers, which mostly take care of the memory management, unpacking lists into a pointer and a length, and string conversions. There's no reason that couldn't be automated with a slightly higher-level than C language.
