Congratulations on the beta launch! I am all for privacy-friendly search engines.

My 2-cents is default to the familiar list view for search results. The current card-view makes it cumbersome to navigate (horizontal and vertical scroll) and scanning screen-width end-to-end. And with my penchant to serially browse results, it can result in me over-spending time to find what I need. Also, it would force you to have a tighter ranking of results. The current view could still be an option.

Nice setup! Could you also share the names (brands/model, e.g. 3M Filtrete 20x20x4) of the three components? I see a few options out there but rather go with something that is vouched for here.

> But while technology infrastructures can persist for generations, laws and policies can change overnight. Once a communications infrastructure optimized for surveillance becomes entrenched, a shift in political conditions may lead to abuse of this new-found power. Political conditions may shift with the election of a new government, or perhaps more abruptly from the bombing of a federal building.

Prescient.

Probably because of British influence, private tutors are a commonplace in India. Being raised there, my parents though encouraged me to just work hard myself and not rely on external tutors. There were, however, a few years where I did get tutoring for a few subjects that I needed help with- and my experience has been great! Especially, for the 12th standard (high school) Physics where I got >90% in the board exam. The tutor knew his stuff and the pattern of the 'board exam' well.

On the other hand, I have had peers who rely on private tutoring almost entirely and almost neglect what is being taught in schools. And I have known parents who see schools as a necessary evil.

There is also, the world of preparing for 'entrance exams' (including IIT-JEE) which is where I have seen tutoring to the extreme. Students who 'drop-out' (still enrolled on paper but not attending in-person) of regular school starting as early as 8th standard (grade) and move to cities where there are mini-economies based on such preparatory institutes. They only go back to their home-towns to write the final exams which is usually subset of what they would learn at the institutes anyway. But the sacrifice they make to be away from family for most parts of the year and the hours they spend staring at a book is admirable.

Note: Please don't take this as a generalization of what happens in India- just what I saw growing up in New Delhi.

This is an example of a library we built using Ohm: https://github.com/Bridgeconn/usfm-grammar [1]

It works great for our use-case though I have been eyeing tree-sitter[2] for its ability to do partial parses.

Conflict resolution is one of my least favorite parts of Git but I don't complain because there ain't no such thing as free lunch. Does Pijul reduce the number of conflicts that would otherwise be faced by a Git VCS? And if so, to what extent?

I don't understand your point. PiratePx seems to be MIT licensed and open-source so that it maybe self-hosted. Are you taking issue with the technique of tracking used here- using pixel-sized GIF?

This is what I was looking for and their website fails to mention it on the landing page, at least. Would you know of any Emacs/org-mode extensions for this device? Thank you for sharing!

I have seen this in the past (I use FF-nightly on MacOS) but subsequent updates seemed to have fixed it. Although maybe some other factor affecting the frequency. Will keep an eye out.

Is it just me or are the description of 'Burnoulli's Theorem' and 'Co-dependency of Lift's Four Elements' separately in the two images identical erroneous? Just agreeing that that is confusing.

I recently hand wrote a poem for my fiancée with 12 stanzas (3 verses each with a rhyme scheme ABB) on a paper that I doused in coffee and baked to make it look ancient. I sent it using regular post with 'love' stamps. The outcome was far better than I had expected; she was overjoyed :)

I have found their search interface for HN (https://hn.algolia.com) useful. They have a drop-down for selecting how you'd want to sort the results. From how I see it Google is doing more blackbox magic whereas Algolia is being a faithful/predictable search engine.

This looks super interesting. I relate to the motivation of building something like this- the endless cycle of creating a Jupyter notebook which becomes a Flask app. I really liked the quick feedback loop for the visual components and the fact that it is all in Python.

I haven't checked yet but a question that comes to mind is how extensible is this framework. I can easily see how I'd want to make custom widgets.

Tangentially, how long did it take to get the windshield fixed? I've heard horror stories about their service.

I like how this is also your bio (about)!

Here is a well respected source on this https://www.ethnologue.com/country/IN

You can find an online version here https://vachanonline.com/ .

If you are looking for the data, here is a repository: https://git.door43.org/BCS-BIBLE/Odiya-ULB-NT.BCS That is the New Testament only, the Old Testament can be found in the same way.

I love ripgrep. For me it has done an exceptional job at searching and finding a large list of search strings over pretty large text files.

Tangentially, it is because of great tools like these written in Rust that I have major respect for the language.

You have convinced me to try this now!

User data has become a currency that has intrinsic value without having to prove itself in any way. Not sure how long this is going to last but I suspect as long as there is this feeling of 'potential' in tracked data, it is always going to sell. On the other hand, the existence of pervasive tracking especially those done unethically, exposes people to a new attack surface that not only malicious (in the traditional sense) actors but govts. are prone to exploiting.

Mind explaining how this is superior to Markdown?

>BAPT: Since we switched to poudriere we are able to provide updates of binary packages almost everyday for the stable and head branches of the ports tree.

>While working on that we have leverage all FreeBSD features:

- Jails: all build are done inside a jail with-out network access

- ZFS: to fast populate the jails and ensurewe are always building in a clean room

- tmpfs(5)17: for fast I/O

- smp(4)18: yes we can use more than 24cores :)

I setup my (decade) old laptop as a server running on FreeBSD. And the elaborate documentation is a real lifesaver, especially as someone who is new to the ecosystem. Even, for the obscure hardware specific setup (yea, looking at you sony vaio), I could find relevant information on their forum which interestingly had relevant information from ages ago.

Really great job guys and thank you! Can't wait to upgrade!

Even though this is a beginner's guide, I feel it should introduce the reader to the Emacs way of navigating using the C-`b f p n` keys at least, let alone their M-[] alternatives. These would significantly improve the users ability to move around the buffer without having to keep shifting hand position to the arrow keys.

Growing up in India, all the pencils I used were red and black striped made by Nataraj. I remember seeing yellow pencils in western movies though.

Kijani Grows is super neat! Thanks for the link!

I come to HN not just for the links to the articles, but more so for the comments. If you inline the articles, why not snap-shot the comments too?
