Title: Show HN: Ather Tab – A Chrome Extension That Turns Your New Tab Into a Powerful Notepad

Hi HN,

I’m excited to share Ather Tab, a Chrome extension I’ve built to transform your browser’s new tab into a fully functional notepad. It's simple, lightweight, and packed with features designed to make note-taking seamless, accessible, and reliable.

Why Ather Tab?
- Triple Storage Fallback: Notes are stored in three locations to ensure reliability even if one fails.

- Bookmark Integration: Notes are saved as bookmarks, so you can:

- Access them from mobile devices without installing anything extra.

- Sync notes across browsers like Chrome and Edge if you use bookmark syncing.

- Edit notes directly from the bookmark URI on your phone, and it updates on your PC automatically.

- Auto-Sync: Your notes are backed up to your Google account with no extra setup required.

How Is It Unique?
Unlike the only other notepad extension for the new tab, Ather Tab includes robust sync capabilities—an essential feature in today’s multi-device world.

Additional Features:
- Popup and Sidebar Access: Use the notepad as a popup or sidebar. (Note: Sidebar access is currently limited due to a Chrome bug, but I’m tracking it closely.)

- New Tab Integration: Open a new tab, and your notes are right there—no clicks needed.

- Auto-Save: Never worry about losing your notes.

What Makes It Cool?
No more cluttering your workspace with tabs or relying on unstable web apps for quick notes. With Ather Tab, your notes are always with you, whether you’re on your laptop or smartphone.

Try It Out
I’d love for you to give Ather Tab a spin and let me know what you think. There are no signups or barriers—just install and start using it right away:

Install Ather Tab from Chrome Web Store: [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ather-tab-synced-no...]

Try its UI at https://athertab.web.app

Feedback Welcome!
I’m here to discuss, answer questions, and listen to your feedback. Let me know how it can be better or what features you'd like to see next!

Looking forward to your thoughts.

"Horatio Hornblower in Space"

i am reading the seafort saga by david feintuch, which is also hornblower in space. i am on book 3 now and i find it rather depressing. their unrealistic depiction of the role of christianity and how they enforce discipline. the latter as far as i can remember is modeled on the original hornblower which i have read as a teen.

i am curious how david webers take is.

btw, the solar clipper series by nathan lowell is also inspired by hornblower, but while the seafort saga seems to very closely follow the original, the only similarity in the solar clipper series is the career of the captain. all in all, the solar clipper series is rather positive though.

Saving money on the electricity bill and having improved resilience in a power outage occurs even without batteries.

Panels are like 1/3 the cost of a normal home solar system. With this plug in your AC in the summer and Resistance heater in the winter and even though you’re losing money when nothing is using that 1.5KW the dramatically lower install costs probably make up for it.

Batteries are obviously better for outages, but you could also plug this into a generator and save on gasoline when the sun is shining.
Population increases consumption increasing demand for production in proportion to the expansion of the workforce - so no, that analogy does not follow.
Yes you can eat it and you spit out the wax. The wax is a bit flaky so I didn't find it that pleasant to chew on. Some people apparently spread it in toast like jam and eat it wax and all. It's not great for stirring into drinks.

Ask HN: The Brain of Non Programmer
Through the years, i notice that non programmers have different ways of thinking which made me wonder about theur brain structure. Do you know any materials or research on this topic ?
Well done avoiding the rest of my comment.

Fascists may participate in a peaceful transition of power in order to gain power, then do not allow for peaceful transitions of power in the future. Jan 6 was an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the peaceful transition of power. Just like the Beer Hall Putsch. Unsuccessful, but totally unambiguous.

Yes, obviously, changing a system isn’t fascism.

Doing so in a way that prevents any other future system change or peaceful transfer of political change is Fascism.

How is this even complicated?

We all come up with rules. Everyone follows the rules. We can all decide to change the rules, but again everybody decides what those rules are, and those rules allow for future changing of rules and actively support the peaceful transition of power. Sometimes there’s somebody who says rules don’t apply to me and I’m the only person who gets to make the rules forever and if you disagree with me I’ll kill you. One activity is not fascist, the other is.

The difficulty is fascists never say they are fascists. they don’t advertise it. They will swear up and down that they’re following the rules, and will abide by the rules right up until they’re powerful enough, that they can just kill everyone who opposes them.
I don't know how I convinced my parents to get me this in elementary but not a single other person I ever met had heard of it. I had no idea it had interesting tech, definitely didn't know it used satellites.

It was a really unreliable service, at least for me in Virginia. We had to call support all the time the short time I had it (1-3 months).

```
They would then send everything to a company called Foley Hi-Tech, who would create the game menu graphics/animations and insert all the monthly content. They ended up with a ~60MB file called a "game image", which was burnt to a CD and sent to a satellite uplink facility in Denver, Colorado. The CD would then be installed in the uplink game server computer, which would continuously transmit the game data in a loop over satellite. Cable headends all over the US would receive the satellite transmission and send it to cable subscribers. The data being sent in a continuous loop is how the service's "interactivity" was achieved at a time when cable TV providers could only transmit data to all subscribers and couldn't receive data (i.e. what game a given subscriber wants to download)

Later in that article:

“But Notre-Dame was not the only location to be affected,” Toullier pointed out. “Lead levels were very high all around the cathedral, on metro platforms, in bookshops on the Place Saint-Michel and even in surrounding schools.”

At the end of summer 2019, Notre-Dame Lead reported levels of up to 123,000 μg/m², which represented 25 times the "standard" threshold of 5,000 µg/m² set by the regional health authority ARS, at the Place Saint-Michel, a 10-minute walk from the cathedral. “Yet no significant clean-up operation was carried out. It was as if the problem didn’t exist,” Toullier lamented.

“But what about run-off water from the roof, which will be laden with lead?” asked Thébaud-Mony. In a notice published in January 2021, the French High Council for Public Health estimated that “the roof of Notre-Dame alone … would emit around 21kg of lead per year (about two tonnes per century) in run-off water”.

“Lead could have been replaced by another substance like zinc or copper,” said Thébaud-Mony. “When alternatives exist, why choose lead and risk human health?” This was the case for the Chartres cathedral, destroyed by a fire in 1836. The original structure had lead roofing, which was replaced by copper when it was rebuilt. Though perceived as less stable, copper is significantly less toxic.
How do I reconcile my claim that Michelangelo11 is looking at the past with rose colored glasses against your observation that things were much worse 100 years ago? These views are the same. There is nothing for me to reconcile.
It's really not, since if there aren't any hills you can watch distant things come into view over the horizon. I believe the standard example is ships.
Thank You for all the answers. Dont know why this falls off the front page so quickly.
Try retraining it while still groggy...
Awesome! On mobile now but intend to try it with my HackRF later. Anything to consider, or should work fine?
Seems like a silly question. “Programmer” doesn’t describe an identity or type of person. It describes an activity or profession.

People can show different interests and aptitude without observable differences in brain structure.

Anecdotally it seems male programmers sit somewhere on the autism spectrum away from the median, and men make up the large majority of programmers. I don’t know of any research on brain structure but Gerald Weinberg’s book The Psychology Of Computer Programming has some insights.
Bioengineering will obviously be a large technological force moving forward. Quick vaccine development and targeting cancer seems like the tip of the iceberg.

Technological advancement in semi-conductors has enabled human-like AI models.

A few years back I got a nice severance and took some time off, but looking back on it now I do regret not trying to get a job sooner. It would have been so nice just to have that money behind me in the bank while still bringing more in.
The original claim that Michelangelo11 made is that society in the past was higher trust. That's the claim that needs evidence. The person who disagrees with the initial claim is not the one who needs to initially provide evidence.
You are making a distinction without a difference.

That you do so with such voraciousness, makes it seem like you are keen to defend those labeled fascist/authoritarian/etc.

What is he supposed to do? I'm absolutely sure he's still looking, trying his best to find a job or a permanent solution to his situation. But there's no reason to complain and whine about things he can't change.

Life is shit sometimes, when he is out, he'll be out. Or he'll find some way of generating income, and then he gets another chance.

I've been in similar situations myself, and there is absolutely no reason to get stuck up regardless how stressful and painful it is, you can only do your best and that's it.
You’re too generous.It runs paid influence campaigns.
I was staring at this wondering if it was a dental reference, but I think you're right; it's meant to read "plague."
I didn't even know this service existed. Broadcasting games in a loop seems pretty clever, but I suppose ZX Spectrum already had games delivered over radio years before then.

I watched several groups of “tech nerds” get rejected from night clubs in the Bay Area after the huggingface open source meetup.

It doesn’t matter how much money you give to them, society think they’re still ugly, four eyes, nerds who deserve to be shoved in lockers. Remember that the only reason high functioning autists weren’t murdered by the nazis was dr.Hans Asperger intervening to convince the German high command that they can build rockets.

Look to how the internet uses “sperg” as a pejorative similar to intel. Forcing a neurotypical to listen to your “*tism” rant makes them literally want to murder you. Resentment against tech workers with money is off the charts in trump voting America. Ungrateful to say the least…
This is... incredible if true. How can this be? I looked up the old walk-in I used to go to (haven't needed it in a while) and it still shows up on maps but the most recent reviews says they "don't do walk-ins anymore". In which case I don't really understand what they do. Genuinely curious about the situation if anyone cares to chime in.
The gulag doesn’t care.
I'm sorry. It's online now.

> Because macOS closest relative isn't Free/NetBSD, but OSF/1

What you say here contains some truth (certainly with respect to the kernel), but I doubt that has anything to do with the behaviour the grandparent is reporting–the wish command in Tcl/Tk truncating output at terminal width. That behaviour would be determined by the Tcl/Tk code, nothing inherently to do with the underlying OS.

> but OSF/1 which, under few different names, was sold by Digital as Unix for Alpha (there were few rare builds for MIPS too).

IBM also briefly sold a port of OSF/1 to IBM mainframes, AIX/ESA: it was available to customers in June 1992, and withdrawn from marketing in June 1993–it was discontinued so quickly due to lack of customer interest, and also because IBM was about to release (in 1994) a UNIX compatibility subsystem for MVS (OpenEdition), which was a more attractive UNIX option for many of their mainframe customers.

I believe IBM's abortive Workplace OS – shipped in beta form only as OS/2 PowerPC Edition – was also partially derived from the OSF/1 code base.

I'm a little confused about your reasoning that take home projects are too much work to do for free. Aren't lawyers and doctors expected to spend a ton of time studying and taking the licensing exams without being paid (I assume even having to pay for it)? My gut feeling is that's more work than a take home project.

What’s particularly relevant here is that using bookmarks as storage is a clever hack! While there are some very old and unmaintained extensions that also used bookmarks this way, they never fully explored or utilized their potential. Ather Tab, in a sense, serves as a proof of concept to showcase what’s possible with this approach.
Ooooooo I have recommendations for that!!

The best, absolute best audiobook (not even science fiction just audiobook in general), go for Hyperion by Simmons. The voice acting and sound design is better than most movies I've seen. It's legitimately the best piece of audio media I've encountered. If you haven't listened to it, do that now. You will not regret it. The only problem with it is that it's so engaging because of the voice acting that you might lose track of time. I drove 16 hours once way once and had that as a companion for both the going and return trip. It was amazing.

For something crunchier, try the Nights Dawn series by Peter Hamilton. That series is IMPOSSIBLE to get through in print, but the audiobooks are doable. There are so many settings and characters that I had to make a spreadsheet while reading. But for some reason the audiobooks are way more approachable.
There’s no incentive to increase housing supply in many markets when existing housing stock is algorithmically unavailable for rent to increase rent on what is available. You can watch some apartment complexes list a sudden vacancy as soon as an apartment gets rented.

Basically algorithms would lower prices if there was excess inventory, but landlords figured out they would stop doing so if they only list a subset of apartments. Obviously shortages do occur, but you often see consistent prices even when bursts of new housing come online with a new apartment complex.
The glowies believe it was a lab leak and that’s good enough for me.
I don't think I see the issue here.

Regulation of currency is a fundamental government responsibility. Integration (or not) with crypto seems right in the middle of that wheelhouse. And if the FDIC's position is "we're not getting guidance on what the regulations are on crypto, so we recommend pausing activity," that's... Their job to say that? I mean... If the banks are asking "hey, will FDIC insurance be honored if we get crypto scammed" and the answer is "we don't know," the answer is we don't know.
Licensing exam scores are usable for applying generally to all places. A take home I do for company A isn't useful in applying at company B.

I did not express my idea clearly. The narrative is that the past was awful, and to a degree that it sounds cartoonish. I personally think it's smelling like propaganda: "You think it's bad now? Well you should be grateful. Before we came around life was unlivable, etc."

So I'm asking why you think nostalgia is more powerful than:
1. the dominant narrative
2. The possibility of that narrative being true and living it.

Old people are not easily scammed because they are inherently stupid. It's because they grew up in a time when fewer people were trying to scam them, and are not on guard. I don't think seniors from the Soviet Union have this problem.
And stress destroys impulse control, which can lend to users buying things they don't need, spending more time interacting, etc. Doom news and advertising is a sinister combination.

PowerSync has an article on using Postgres with Yjs (and perhaps look into Yrs, the Rust implementation, as well as other Rust crates like Loro and Automerge that are much faster) and they use a table in the database that stores the changes, is that what you are doing too [0]?

So apartment rents are overpriced? Then someone else is incentivised to build a new building, undercut the competition while still making profits since the existing stock was overpriced.

What we should do is mandate that all rent prices be published, and then someone can build a browser extension or website that shows the average and historical prices so renters can quickly spot overpriced rentals.
I keep it adhoc - models change so frequently that prompts are always broken all the time. Most of the ones I've used last year are no longer relevant.

"Prompt engineering" may be a thing of the past. These days, you can sketch a vague table on a piece of paper and take a photo of it with a phone, and AI will figure out exactly what you're trying to do.

Supply is becoming secondary to credit availability and inheritance - those are what drive prices. We can now borrow more than ever, and a decisive advantage in housing is having rich parents.
No his grandpa worked in a mine therefore the middle class as a concept doesn't exist.
This graph is pretty misleading because it starts right after the ~2008 recession and doesn't include data leading up to that, or any previous boom/bust iterations such as the ~2000 dotcom bubble bursting. The correlation with interest rates is also relevant, as somebody else noted.

AI allows collusion without colluding directly. So they are still violating some law here, whether they get called out on it or not is another story.
Loro is planning on doing so, as the other comment says. Related, is this what you are looking for [0]? The commenter says that their implementation will surface conflicts to the user.

This is the truth about most types of oil too. All oil is bad and it’s all almost the same.
I find it more powerful and from a certain point easier to create the tooling using the projects programming language. Every dev should be familiar with that language and ecosystem. E.g. for project that had several tools - Rust (server), .NET and Node (CLI tools) and Svelte (frontend) - I wrote all operational tools in Typescript and run them using Deno. Very clean and powerful (typesafe, composable, Deno std lib). You can add all kind of stuff like timings, logging, checks, whatever ...
I absolutely loved Google's chat in Gmail when it first came out almost 20 years ago, and if they had kept it running, I'm almost 100% sure I'd still be all over it, but the fact that they removed it and keep changing their approach every couple of years just means that I can't trust them with my conversations. I'll check it again if it's still around in a decade.
