lhmiles··on Months building this did I just reinvent the wheel?
Go to the coffee shops and laundromats in your neighborhood and ask them :)

All the iOS malware I am aware of is persistent

An exploit is the most likely explanation for the events you described. You could probably swap your phone for an identical model at a phone store pretty cheap

lhmiles··on Staying cool without refrigerants: Next-generation Peltier cooling
What exactly does "75% better" mean? 75% more cooling per watt? 75% less distance from theoretical ideal?
lhmiles··on Ask HN: Is every company's internal wiki just broken by default?
You can download everything and embed it with Google api and dump it in postgres with pgvector. Works pretty well for me for similar situation

I wish apple would add it faster. Even Brave on linux only has it in nightly

Are you the author? You can speed things up and get better results sometimes by retrying the initial generation step many times in parallel, instead of the interactive rewrite thing.

Basically we can use the error-returning pattern from Go in typescript for great good. And since typescript has more expressive type checking, we can accomplish it without polluting the namespace with err1, err2, err3... Best of both worlds.
lhmiles··on Show HN: npm install actual-malware
When I went to report vulnerabilities in two packages, I got a prompt "are you the maintainer of this package?". I hit no and it told me to go inform the maintainer.
lhmiles··on Show HN: StumbleUpon inspired random website discovery
How'd you make the list of websites?

Hey sorry to be a bummer but you should know Show HN is for demos, not writing
lhmiles··on Show HN: Searchall – search all major indexes on one page (with iframes)
I added it to chrome with keyword 'sa' so it's easy to swap around. I do that with all the custom searches.

Np let me know if you set up your own proxy how much work it is

Try out some queries from your browser history and see if anything beats google. Other engines are more likely to beat google for queries that google has failed at.

Majority of engines were found at below link. Surprisingly many engines use the same indices, for example duckduckgo is mostly just privacy-protected bing. Big thanks to Rohan Kumar.

A proxy is needed to bypass iframe restrictions for most websites. I used this x-frame-bypass client js code [https://github.com/niutech/x-frame-bypass] which (previously?) used proxy.megatunger.com . That free proxy could be recording your queries, who knows, so use caution.

If (when actually) that proxy goes down I think I'll set up something like CORSflare to have a more reliable and trustworthy alternative. [https://github.com/Darkseal/CORSflare]

I hacked this together over about one workday in total so it's likely to have significant issues. You can comment them here or (preferably) file an issue on the repo: [https://github.com/qpwo/searchall/]

There's also a demo video on the repo if the site goes down but you wanted to see how it looks. Feel free to file feature requests on the repo as well. If you'd rather copy it and make your own version then that's fine too.

I'll try to reply to all comments here.
