Ask HN: How do you save web page content
I have been saving web page content over the years in various ways. Plain text, print as PDF's, etc etc.

How do you all do it.

For example - if we wanted to save this web page locally how would you do it?

https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=368501

It's a long nicely formatted, color web page that I would not want to save as a text file. I used to just bookmark these things, but then when I want to go back (sometimes a couple years later) the web page is 404.

I am testing this https://historio.us but it's not free and I can't save my own data on my own hard drive.

I guess I would save that as a PDF but I was wondering how everyone else manages a knowledge base of which the source are web pages.

What we need is a version of historio.us that runs locally.

I hate when games have no option to turn word filter off. Souls games are infamous of the word Knight getting censored, the word filter is so bad most people invading are just asteriks
My current setup is a HP EliteDesk G3 w/i7 6700 CPU. The PSU inside is 80+ rated and I've seen the externally measured power consumption as low as 9W idling Windows Server 2019. I have no spinning disks inside so add at least a few watts average for each.

Another advantage to using Business Workstation SFF units is they're cheap and take up little space, you can have a backup unit ready to swap parts with.
Linux is the only operating system that guarantees kernel binary interface stability. You can discard the entire user space and write dependency-free software that interfaces with Linux directly. You can even boot Linux straight into your own program and bring up the system yourself.

This single function is all you need to do literally anything on x86_64 Linux from writing to a file descriptor to graphics card ioctls:

In all others, interfacing with the kernel directly eventually leads to breakage because the people in charge change the system calls. Go binaries broke on OS X because of this. We're not meant to bypass their system libraries.
Would you mind my asking what decade you were born in? I'm just curious.

They’re not as popular now as interest rates are low enough to make a repayment mortgage affordable to most. Coupled with their association with the Endowment Mortgage scandal [1] they’re not that popular in the UK anymore except as an equity release option.

Apple, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Cloudflare, if even one of these organizations had their name anywhere on this spec I'd give it the time of day. I work at one of them; I've worked for two in the past; I know the people, they're extremely smart and well-intentioned.

And if it gets popular, the price of old Xeon workstations will go through the roof, just like old stereos did. Used to be able to get an old Marantz 2220B for $100 on the bay. Now they are unobtainium or $850, as an example.

I think the same thing happened to old Sun workstations. We used to reuse them a LOT. Could get an ultra 2 decked out for like $200. Now, $800-$1000 with less CPU and ram than a few years back. Could be supply and demand, but it seems to happen a lot. People go "hey, that stuff was great, lets use it again" and the price skyrockets, then the people all go "hey, that old stuffs too expensive".

I've never seen anything that actually requires AVX. SSE yes, but virtually all 64-bit x64 chips have SSE.
What does the UK govt have to do with this? Surely it’s just a matter for a bank to choose to offer this product.

I was so intrigued i read TFA… turns out this is an entire article conjured out of an off hand comment in a far larger conversation that wasn’t about this topic:

Boris: blah blah blah
Reporter: blah blah
Boris: blah blah blah
Reporter: would that include multi generational mortgages?
Boris: yes, i’m open to any ideas
Reporter: back to unlrelated blah blah

No wonder journalism gets a bad rap.
I feel the same way. But just want to point out that the link is actually satire and makes a push for the same side as yours.

I get my clothing secondhand/cheap. I suppose we can differentiate "worth" and "paid for", but even the clothing I have is mid-level/cheap brands (except socks).

- $105 - 5 pairs of socks (purchased because of lifetime warranty and comfort)

- $15 - 5 boxers, purchased new

- $8 - 7 shirts (new on ebay)

- $10 - 1 pair of shoes (very lucky to find these in my size!)

- $5 - 2 pairs of shorts

- $5 - 2 pairs of pants

I do laundry about every 3-5 days.
I work at hp where we get new PCs every few years but I also have two maxed-out z800 workstations, one for Linux, one for Windows. For the most part this works great but the one downside is that the ancient BIOS and older slots prevent some upgrades.
Canada does not have long-term fixed rate mortgages either.
I'm surprised to see market efficiency/management as a reason to move to Canada - usually in such context it's protectionism, milk tokens, etc. being (negatively) discussed.

Is the 'hydro' (as they call it) cheap there? I heard the opposite, but that from a Canadian, so perhaps it's just that it's gone up a lot (as everywhere) and they didn't appreciate their lower starting point.

Edit: oh, very variable between provinces - https://www.energyhub.org/electricity-prices/
Ask HN: Does Reddit site performance seem to be getting worse?
Hope it's appropriate to discuss here, but I apologize if it's not.

Does reddit site performance seem to be getting worse and nothing being done by the admins about it?

So reddit has infinite scroll and after scrolling through a few hundred posts and watching a few videos, my fans turn on and my computer starts putting out a lot of heat. I even left a reddit tab open on accident one night and woke up to my laptop too hot to even sit on my lap. Once the reddit tab was closed I could immediately hear my fans wind down.

I have a 8 core processor and 8 gb of RAM, shouldn't that be enough? Should any website need to be using resources the way reddit does? This has been happening for so long that at this point I would think some of the blame needs to be placed on the engineers that designed the site.

I think one obvious solution would be to remove content from the DOM after the user has scrolled past it. Does every video I watch stay in memory until I close the tab? No wonder the video player stops working after I watch a few videos.

I'm using Chrome on Fedora 36 btw.
Obviously yes
I've just installed scummvm on my tablet and put beneath a still sky on it. That and broken sword are two games that I never got to play with the dedication is deserves. I'm trying to play a little bit before bed to see if I can finish them.
If you have unusually expensive energy then this is correct. Globally though this neglects embodied energy. A new machine with all new chips takes a ton of energy to produce. It's usually most efficient to reuse old stuff as long as it's useful rather than pitching it as e-waste and buying new.

Also keep in mind that a desktop can usually be put to sleep or turned off when not in use. Doesn't need to run 24/7.
Identity is impervious to persuasion, logic, values.

So what does that leave us? Cult deprogramming techniques? Lithium in the water?

Show me the techniques that work, and I'll do it. I've studied and tried them all.

Meanwhile, I've given up. Absolutely refuse to talk news or politics with friends and relations. Not even with people I agree with.

Now I just practice radical empathy.

Culture, art, technology, science, growth, exploration, communication, and so on. Basically advancement in nearly every measurable way of every aspect of society.

Food is not a limiting factor. China is a net exporter of food in a country of 1.4 billion on about 1.1 million km^2 of arable land. For context, the United States has about 1.6 million km^2. And the quantities of arable land can be expanded somewhat dramatically everywhere.

It's kind of true. This isn't going to change in the future. Neoliberalism means, "if you're not 21st century valuable you're going to be 19th century poor" and this has me troubled. The conundrum for me is how you can develop an advanced society without advanced education. It seems like technology becomes a social stratifier despite the, "advantages" that they gain the poor. This has historical precedent-- so far technological advances have done a great deal to correct social imbalances (consider working class life in the 1850s) but they have also furthered that gap between the most and least powerful in society.

It seems that human culture closely follows power laws; it might be possible that, "elites" are a natural consequence of human existence. The question is how this will be managed in a world where elites have near absolute technical powers. It's worth thinking about I thinking about.
Go’s HTTP routing is very primitive. That’s one big area that I’ve always needed to use a 3rd party dependency. The main issue is that it doesn’t support placeholder values in route paths.
Ligatures [0] are special glyphs which replace a series of letters. For instance, an "fl" is often replaced by a single glyph which looks far better than the individual glyphs.

Scunthorpe Sans has ligatures defined for each nasty series of characters, but instead of replacing them with something more readable it replaces them with a black box.

This is what bought us the rate of progress we've become accustomed too. Why should we want it to be faster?
Censoring words is much more the right's obsession than the let's. You're right in the particular case of the n-word, and slurs in general, but the conservative right has been adamant in banning all use of swear-words in mass media for decades.
I'm using the Feedly app not paid since Google shut down theirs.

I have no clue what you mean.

Where do they show this daily?

And don't get me wrong, you traided self management against a nag pop up? It's your choice but Feedly still does it with a reasonable offering.

And I actually thinking about going pro to remove all the rumor news shit I don't care and the cve feature sounds nice as well.
ZeroTier has SSO now, at least for its hosted controller option.
I think we are like mold on a tomato that is floating in space.

At the moment, we are barely visible. But over time, the whole tomato (planet earth) will turn into mold.

Earth is 10^24 kg.

So far, humans are something like 10^11 kg.

Maybe 10^13 or 10^14 kg if we count all our stuff, like roads and buildings etc?

So we still have about 99.9999999% of "colonizing earth" in front of us.
Not when you’re paying the electricity bill it’s not.

My old workstation cost me a 14” MacBook Pro in power in 5 years.

Plus you can get new in box Lenovo mini PCs with 11th gen i5 in for less than the price of a second hand Xeon desktop that’s actually usable now. They pull average 30 watts.

In Canada however that positive net migration (I believe second highest in western world) and high immigrant percentage of population (forth highest I believe) comes at a massive cost when you realize Canada has not been matching population growth to housing and infrastructure.

Prior to pandemic we were building fewer than 0.4 new houses per person nationwide (down from 0.7 back in 2010), our healthcare system is very stressed with lowered population provinces (example Maritimes) having massive waits to get family doctors causing ppl to use ER for simple things adding major stress and delays there.

Most of the talk about Canada's RE market gets pushed to secondary causes or really reactions and symptoms of the core issues. Foriegn money, private investment, greedy landlords etc are all results of a basic supply and demand problem that the government could fix via zoning reform and immigration reform but seem to deflect away from instead giving ppl boogiemen to hate on instead.

Net migration into Canada is great and we benefit greatly by those who choose to come here however if it's not balanced by the government spending to support it Canada is heading for disaster in the next decade.
Thanks for the feedback. I ended up having shift-right-click do the default behavior of right-click so atleast theres a workaround.
In Sweden it's not uncommon to have mortgage terms of 105 years. The maximum was reduced from 140 years in 2016. Obviously whether the descendants of the borrower can choose whether to keep paying or not when they inherit the load, but they're definitely not signing up at the beginning.
Back in the day, I was the Exhibits Engineer at the Computer Museum in Boston. We had an exhibit with a robot arm and alphabet blocks; visitors could type in a phrase and it would be spelled out. I maintained the "dirty word" list, which was the list of things that the robot wasn't allowed to spell out.
Any company that does union busting.

Any company with at least one shareholder or exec who's a billionaire.

Any company that sells a product at a loss to drive smaller competitors out of business.

Any company that supports politicians who promote the lie that the 2020 election was stolen.

Any company that lobbies to stop or reduce the fight against climate change.

It would be easy to go on.

A smart government would incentivise the population to invest in British industry, which would develop the economy and reduce this ridiculous industrial-investment-killing monster in the shape of the property market. But, this is England: a place where good ideas that might benefit the masses are generally either strangled at birth or sold off for a pittance.
Take it from someone who has done this - it's a terrible idea.

I bought a HP Z620 off of eBay for $500 in 2019. Spec'd with 2x Xeon E5-2680 @2.7GHZ & 96GB of RAM, and had a 1TB SSD. Bought a RX570 graphics card, and away I went.

It's been an absolute pain in the ass: heavy, huge, tempermental, and sucks an enormous amount of power. Idles at 250-300watts just sitting at the login screen. My home office temperature goes up by several degrees when it's on.

It's also noisy, but not from the fans. There's noticeable coil whine/high pitched sounds when the computer is not idling. You probably wouldn't hear it over the background noise in a normal office, but you definitely hear it at home. And of course it sounds like a rocket when the fans are going full blast, which I'll admit is kind of fun.

Reliability has been a crapshoot - motherboard died and I had to source another from eBay. Pretty sure one of the RAM sticks is dying too - every few months it crashes hard (with an error screen mentioning a memory issue) but HP's hardware testing tools find nothing. Upside: very easy to take apart and replace the motherboard - everything is modular and slots out.

Software wise - all kinds of weird driver issues, especially with power management. Sleep mode usually crashes the machine. Of course none of the drivers have been updated in years, and Windows 11 isn't officially supported. ESXi works well enough after some BIOS tinkering - could not get GPU passthrough to work, and some of the system sensors aren't detected. Bare metal Windows 11 install works after some minor registry changes, but not officially supported.

The most irritating part of this tale is that I didn't buy this to be my daily driver.

I've always had a home server, and thought it would be fun to have the extra CPU/RAM power on tap to spin up VMs with reckless abandon. Well after all the issues with the Z620, I ended up buying a Dell OptiPlex Micro with 32GB of RAM & an i5-10500T. It's the size of a book, cost about the same as the Z620, is silent, sips power, and has been dead reliable. Granted, it's not as powerful - the E5-2680 has a 12,500 passmark score (and there's two of them) versus the i5-10500T's 10,319 passmark score. However this has never actually been an issue for me.

Tldr: There's a reason these dinosaurs are cheap. Power hogs, noisy, unreliable, and a giant hassle.
Is this actually very common? “average” is the common word for “mean”, I haven’t seen anyone to present median or mode as an average.

The linguistic “process” that allows this is called “expletive infixation” and it, as you might guess from the name, only works with swears.

There’s some neat work on where within the original word you can add them, made all the funnier by hearing people dispassionately dropping strings of f-bombs “to see what works”.

Day of the Tentacle. Perfectly captures the height of the genre, or at least its first peak: Mature graphics given the technical constraints, 4th-wall-breaking self-deprecating humor (the game is a joke and it knows). Nothing is serious and you should be able to try anything and everything without any repercussions other than not progressing (if you don't, you might miss out on a joke).

Broken Sword was the second peak, when stories became more serious and played more like an interactive novel. There are still jokes, but the game itself isn't one anymore.
I've gotten two messages in the past month of the form "Hi, is this <my real name>?" from unknown numbers. There's a chance they're real acquaintances, but the likelihood of them just being spam finding my name & number in some online database is too high that I haven't responded. If they were real acquaintances, I guess they would tell me who they are, right? Dunno, feels weird.

Everybody’s got an opinion on what bad language means, but maybe everybody should maintain their own local variants of this font that censor specifically the words that they don’t want to see.
At some point we lost the original concept of DSLs. The “domain” here was supposed to be fairly far removed from the realms of software engineering. For example, if you work for a bank, a DSL couched in the needs of financial modeling for the problems of the bank. If you work in automotive, a DSL that is hand crafted for the purpose of running on the car you are building. In particular the idea was very much these would be used by non-programmers. Programmers would work with domain experts to organically evolve one or more, intermixable domain languages, in the interest of more precisely capturing their knowledge than written specs, and allow them to iterate on the software independently from engineers. The domain languages often were intentionally imprecise and ambiguous, with programmers tasked with providing generators and interpreters into a running system. I think the concept still has merit - that we still live in a world where domain experts are largely siloed from being able to actually adjust the behavior of the software systems they’re stakeholders in is sign enough there is still work to be done, even if DSLs aren’t the solution.

The concept kind of came and went, the two projects that really went all in on the idea were JetBrains MPS (still alive) and Intentional Software (now dead.)

Edit: MPS has some case studies on their site that nicely demonstrate the concept here - as you can tell, it’s very different than the way we typically use DSLs :)

Edit2: they have a pretty good video that explains the core concept above here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eEUMAx3g6do
I had a Xeon workstation, 1st gen Core architecture, similar to the first Mac Pro. Yes I managed to buy it cheaply, but the noise was pretty loud. Especially during POST it would spin the fans at max for 30 seconds which sounded like a vacuum cleaner! Not great for nighttime use.
Wow, this is both a really good idea and a good concrete example of it. Adding it to my toolbox. Thanks!
That's understandable, however is near this value usual for people who are frequently social with overlapping attendees?
