When you go vegan for a few years, you can absolutely smell raw ground beef. It's not a good smell.

Neovim was a fork of Vim so it makes sense to keep the name similar, this project seems to be a completely new codebase.

Name and shame.

I rarely have to use it, but Undotree is so amazing when you need it.

This is super cool. I just tried it out by looking into a few health/medical topics. So far, I’ve only tried the “internal” experience of “create note with search”, “expanding” and clicking on links – I haven’t tried saving links from my normal web browsing. It’s a nice alternative to using Wikipedia for quickly researching a topic, the benefit being that it gives me bullet points so I’m not overloaded with information.

I don’t see myself replacing my Obsidian notes with this any time soon, but it could serve the niche of the first pass of research – a quick way to collect information, where afterwards I’d consolidate my findings into more permanent notes in Obsidian.

What would make this really useful is more data sources. As far as I can tell, Recall’s “create note with search” only uses Wikipedia right now. It would be awesome to be able to compile information from multiple sources into one note. For example, I was just looking into anemia. It would be cool if, in addition to Wikipedia, I could pull in some information from WebMD, Mayo Clinic, or Harvard Health, too. A more fine-grained way to pick and choose what information I want to add would also be useful.

Nice project, I’ll keep an eye on it! Also, good job with the mobile UX, it’s pretty good!

Is there a hosted Mastodon solution, where you can bring your own domain name and they do the rest, like how I can bring my domain name to any number of email providers?

Oh, duh. "bridge" makes sense now.

Why does Moa need so many permissions? I don't want to give it +RW on both my accounts.

It doesn’t work in Safari for me (16.1)

I think the Excalidraw plugin solves a different problem. It’s great for creating diagrams, especially with a keyboard+mouse. What I’m looking for, though, is something like Apple Notes on iPad, where you can seamlessly write in your notes with your Apple Pencil. The Excalidraw plugin adds a lot of friction and complexity if all you want to do is write.

I just looked into SSB and I really like the concept. It seems much more elegant than Mastodon. Why is Mastodon/the Fediverse so much more popular (or is it?)? What are the advantages of federation over total decentralization? I suppose one disadvantage of total decentralization is the need for ‘fat clients’, as another commenter pointed out.

I imagine it working similarly to IPFS, where the data is distributed across the network.

Can someone explain why a Mastodon account is so intrinsically tied to the instance it was registered on? This has always confused me and is part of the reason I haven't started using it, I couldn't decide on which instance to use. Why can't an account be globally unique and not tied to a specific instance? Why, as a user, do I have to deal with the low-level concept of an instance?

Is this all just a consequence of keeping user data private-ish? I understand the data has to be stored somewhere, and if user data were distributed to the entire network, it obviously wouldn't be private. Couldn't e2e + public key encryption be used to work around this somehow?

tl;dw: because they actually do what you suggest, and they incorporate their findings into better road designs.

This is great. Can you please create an email list where we can sign up to be notified when new chapters are available? If I follow you on Twitter, I will invariably miss any announcements.

I appreciate you sharing these resources. I would also like to apologize if my original comment was unfairly critical of the Chrome/Chromium Team. I understand MV2->MV3 is a complex and challenging endeavor. I just hope nobody gets left behind!

A feature that would be cool:

I often write some pretty complex jq queries. Once a query starts getting complex, I like to spread it over multiple lines for better readability. It would be cool if Jqp would let me insert newlines by pressing Shift+Enter.

This is awesome!

I sometimes use jiq for this purpose, but I don't like that it tries to evaluate the query as you type, pressing enter exits the interactive session, and that you can't see the source and output at the same time. Jid has similar issues.

Jqp seems to solve all of these problems, plus it has syntax highlighting. I'm going to use this tool all the time.

I agree. I feel like deleting a collection should require at least two requests, one to get a deletion authorization token, and another to perform the deletion with the token. The RESTful equivalent of "are you sure?". It's terrifying to think millions of records are just one DELETE request away from oblivion.

Manifest V2 deprecation is likely going to break extensions that inject userscripts, like Tampermonkey [0] and SurfingKeys [1]. The Chrome team has been rather unhelpful. They've promised to add support for power-user tools like these in MV3:

dotproto from the Chrome team commented on May 27 [2]:

> @mon-jai, the short answer is no, I don't have any updates to share. That said, I'll reaffirm that we plan to support userscript managers in Maniest V3 before the Manifest V2 deprecation.

But the deprecation is approaching and the Chrome team hasn't released any more information about this AFAIK. These extensions are going to require large refactors to support MV3 and they can't meaningfully start until the Chrome team elucidates how script injection will work. With MV2 deprecation coming so soon, I worry there won't be enough time.

Looks nice, I like the concept. It would be nice if you pre-loaded some public domain books, to allow the user to get a feel for the application.

Interestingly, a number of corporations that registered their own TLDs seem to have since let them go. You can see them by searching for "Not assigned" on that page.

Listen to me, I'm neither a failure nor an outlier, I am a non-writer. Completely unbiased, completely uninformed. My advice: write!

It's almost like burdening people who have been to prison with immense debt makes them *more* likely to end up back in prison; allowing them work, learn and improve skills, and save up some money for getting back on their feet makes them *less* likely to end up back in prison. Who would've thought?!

It almost seems like someone wants people in prison, as if someone is profiting off of it or something. Hmmmm....

I was trying to figure out a way to list the top YouTube videos posted to HN for the past month. I first tried using the HN BigQuery Dataset [1], but soon realized it hasn't been updated in years. I then stumbled upon HNTrending and realized it had exactly what I was looking for [2].
