And test only online websites (」°ロ°)」
- Using canary URLs in these and other sites may be interesting too.
- I love regex101.com, so really happy to see it breaks the mold here.
- Comment is a bit of an aside, but it's a shame what happened to JSONFormatter.org. The UI was preferable to alternatives for me, it ranked highly in Google so I could just search "JSON formatter" and access it, etc.
Now the site freezes 50% of the time when loading it on my Mac and when it doesn't freeze, there's a 5 second period of waiting before I can paste any input. Not to mention ads taking up 40% of the screen. The classic tech cycle of life.
- Can we stop it with "and the results are terrifying", "and you won't believe what I found", "the <x> situation is insane", etc.? The over-hyping of low quality, low effort content is making it hard to find actually interesting or informative things.
- Yea I was thinking the same thing.
When you reach for the most exaggerated, over-the-top word possible when describing something relatively mundane, what will you use when you talk about something that actually is "terrifying?"
- “The most terrifying thing you’ve ever heard”. You can even stick with that one as long as your subjects are monotonically scary.
- Find a better and more accessible solution than clickbait.
Please, do it.
- "better", "more accessible"? What the hell are you talking about? Clickbait doesn't make anything better or more accessible.
Instead, it makes it impossible to pre-select for interesting information. Instead of telling you what something is about, it tells you how you should feel about it. That's not improving accessibility.
- I meant from the author’s perspective. Clickbait is too easy, which is probably why it’s so popular.
- Oh completely. But my perspective is that we all should individually punish clickbait by not clicking. More broadly, we should strive to keep HN full of quality tech content rather than clickbait.
- Glad that I am using Firefox with:
- uBlock Origin
- cookieAutodelete
- privacy badger
Any additions to my arsenal welcome!
- Ironfox/Librewolf with just uBlock. The more extensions you have the way easier you are to fingerprint.
- That's why real programmers are those who can work offline without the Internet. (just the repositories)
:)
local first.
- what dev uses public websites to do any kind of work?
- [flagged]
- Decent article. Painful to read the LLM output.
