bluu00on Ask HN: Is Everyone Moving to Miami?

> Walking around, I see human feces, needles, dead bodies through overdose.

wtf? that's not the kind of picture i wish to imagine while talking of SF

bluu00on Ask HN: Is Everyone Moving to Miami?

Yea. But why? I mean it seems quite aggressive as well. Bashing SF & praising miami religiously and more like a political campaign than a marketing campaign.

bluu00on Consumer Reports: Cadillac's Super Cruise Outperforms Tesla's Autopilot

> even CR agrees that tesla's autopilot outperforms supercruise

where?

> They just don't like the amount of freedom tesla's system gives the driver while supercruise forces the driver to stare straight ahead the entire time.

That's L2 sir. L2.

bluu00on Uninstall Nano Defender

> Remember to audit your extensions frequently, and remove any unused extensions.

> In the case of Nano Defender, users were not notified before control of the extension was transferred to a third-party. That's not the right way to handle this.

The whole browser extension ecosystem seems to be purposefully bloated with such loopholes allowing such backdoors. I remember seeing a clg presentation, "a browser is a literal nuke you carry on yourself, whatever be the ... or claims as of sandboxing, you're already dead" - loosely quoted.

bluu00on Ask HN: How difficult is a search engine MVP that just works?

> gorillafind.com

Interesting. (ﾟヮﾟ) You seem to know well that search is beyond ranking and retrieval. [1]

> I’d start off with not doing state of the art because it’s overkill for an “MVP”.

Can a search engine "MVP" sustain without using sota methods/practices?

What should be the initial scale for a search MVP for which it just works? In the modern realm.

[1] : https://medium.com/startup-grind/what-every-software-enginee...

just a note (you can ignore) : I am actually a believer of iterations in development and incremental optimisations. But even a minimum viable product should be able to work.

bluu00on Ask HN: How difficult is a search engine MVP that just works?

what is elastisearch? IDK ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT #1: you're cool. but i really dont know what elastisearch is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And a google "search" hurts at the moment.

EDIT #2 :

> multiple people respond and say that Lucene basically does the same thing Google does and that Lucene is poised to surpass Google's capabilities in the next few years. It's been long enough since then that we can look back and say that Lucene hasn't improved so much that Google is in danger from a startup that puts together a Lucene cluster. [1]

interesting read

bluu00on Ask HN: How difficult is a search engine MVP that just works?

And to add, i am not looking for a "how to learn"?

Neither it is some site-wide search que.

And not a business model as well.

Not a "privacy first but no results" search.

Something that works.

bluu00on Ask HN: Why HN lacks a reply alert feature?

no.

bluu00on Ask HN: Why HN lacks a reply alert feature?

I see. So , ignore ?

I am really curious, should I have avoided this comment?

I honestly believed that his reply to the person making "just a point" was more arrorgant and not something that came out intellectually.

>There are many quotes on questions, like “better to ask and be thought a fool for five minutes than to remain a fool forever” and the likes, but to me, there is something deeper than that. Asking questions often reveals a lot more information than just the answer to the question, almost regardless of the situation.

Thanks. Explains a lot already.

>make me sigh with frustrated rage

I could've asked "do we render emojis here? ⭐" Or "are ascii emojis downvoted? ಠ_ಠ "

>it is always worth doing a search before asking questions rather than receiving a spoon-fed answer

"meta" question. Not well documented.

>>> I don't know if meta posts are allowed or not. (post) Well rules out searching.

>Search is your friend when it comes to things like 'why doesn't HN do x or y?'

>>>I am quite new to the community. (post)

thanks.

Have a nice day.
