gridia VS hn-search

I've been working on this sort of game for awhile now. Never too seriously, though that will change in 2023. Hardly worth sharing at this point, but I will anyway.

I need to seriously think about what I want out of this game (more of a mmo game engine), but "UO-like" is definitely top of mind.

When making the netcode for my web game, I highly valued TypeScript support so to get it by default, I defined the message types in TypeScript so they could be used directly[1]. I see that this framework defines its messages in .yml and converts it to types (stored in a folder kept out of source control).

I'm not sure which way is best, but it is very nice to have the feature support of `.d.ts` files when creating complex message types, as opposed to needing to learn a new thing. Clearly if this is going to be a cross-platform (not just web) framework then using TypeScript as the source-of-truth makes far less sense.

Anyway, very impressed with the binary format/delta encoding feature! That's been something that I know I _should_ do but am putting off until I see signs of sending raw JSON being problematic.

If it's not [flagged], there's no flagging and hence also no flagging ring. baybal2 has been banned on and off for years now https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Vision therapy for myopia helps some people, but not everyone, likely due to genetic and neuroplasticity differences, https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... Nevertheless, many of the principles are useful for children whose eyes and brains are still developing.

I'm a huge Tesla skeptic, but Tesla and Musk are lightning rods for tabloid-style garbage that doesn't belong on HN, so it doesn't surprise me that we often see negative Tesla content flagged to death. Meanwhile we also see plenty of content that hits the front page and stays there [0].

Do you have examples of professional, interesting Tesla content that got flagged?

It's April 23rd, 2024, and I am still looking for a good, reliable, honest and simple search engine.

All I want to do is search.

No AI.

No ads.

No shopping.

Please don't "Answer my question." I enjoy doing my own original research, thanks.

I'm entirely willing - wanting even - to pay for it.

Currently Kagi has my $, but I'm saddened and frustrated that they're not even focused on Search, they're focused on AI[1] and t-shirts.

Amazingly, in 2024, there is still a market opportunity for a good search engine.

It can't really just be me, can it?

For historical purposes

Most likely because there have been oodles of low-quality stories on these topics. We turned the flags off on this one since it maybe rises above the noise (see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... for past explanations on how we approach that).

Hey HN,

I'm sure you've seen the monthly "Ask HN: What Are You Working On?" headlines on [Hacker News](https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

Honestly, it's my favorite topic because it's packed with insights about what other hackers are up to.

I wondered what it would be like if instead of just a headline, there was a whole website where hackers could post daily updates, and where we could follow the hackers we're interested in for their latest updates. And so, this web site was born.

I hope it gets used frequently so we can all benefit from it together. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Let me know what you think!

I don't know what one thing you're referring to, but it's a core principle of HN to try to avoid repetition, and especially the repetition+indignation combo, which is the commonest and most tedious thing on the internet.
