Ubuntu on the ThinkPad X13s Review
> To my surprise the fingerprint reader works well and I can enroll my fingers! It even unlocks the system the system at the login screen too!
well, shit, that's better than my Thinkpad X1 on Ubuntu where they never worked
I actually came very close to getting that exact same setup (from the Amazon Refreshed store) but waved it off because I could not get Chrome (not -ium, I mean the real one) nor Zoom which for doing worky stuff is "well, good luck". Yes, I'm aware one can join zoom meetings from the browser but with eyes toward that "chromIUM" part I felt it would be really, really rolling the dice, and that's before I knew that the webcam doesn't work
there have been a few other threads on this, but it's great to have a more recent version: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=thinkpad+x13s
You may already be aware of this, but the T14s is "just another" Intel box, whereas the X13s is Snapdragon/arm64. I despise the random nomenclature of their product lines for that very reason. But IMHO a blog post about Ubuntu on more Intel stuff would not make the front page versus "here's the current state of arm64 on the desktop" is something I have keen interest in. I still have high hopes someone is going to have better luck with Microsoft's Dev Kit since it comes with a lot more ram (recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35757277 et al https://hn.algolia.com/?query=windows%20dev%20kit )

Ask HN: What are some not widely-known computer programming publishers?
Self publishing is free. If youâre talking about getting printed copies in bookstores, youâre technically correct about their being better at marketing but believe me, they expect you to do the bulk of that too.
Take a look at some of these articles:

Ask HN: Why no browser-based E2E encryption?
Perhaps search hnn for "cryptocat" which was an attempt to do e2e chat through a website a dozen years ago. It was somewhat controversial at the time.
https://hn.algolia.com/?q=cryptcat
The author gave up on it after a while and the website stopped working.

Stashpad launches Google Docs alternative you can use without any login
There once was an incredibly nice product like this called hackpad. It even had a similar theme IIRC. It was a yc company, lovely polished product, and the folks I was founding a startup with loved it with zero effort spent on convincing them.
10 years ago Dropbox bought it and shut it down.

DBOS Operating System
look, I know this thing is obviously the second coming, or new sliced bread or something, but the dupes are just out of control: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=dbos and that's not even counting the submissions of blog posts about their hot new thing from the employees
We got it, it's awesome, stop making NEW THREADS where everyone who wasn't in the first 500 of these submissions posts the same things

Tal is the programming language for the Uxn virtual machine
Using a stack as input and a stack as output reminds me of the POP-11 language.
A high level value stack available as an input is a truly different way to code.

Trouble Building Chrome Extension to Get News Article Content
I've been working on an enhanced reader mode extension for the last few months. I found that Mercury Reader's parser tool is useful for extracting content. If that's not exactly what you're looking for, readibility is another good option. It's a library used inside Firefox's reader moder that you can use in any project.

What Are The Coolest Virtual Machines You Currently Run 24/7?
I currently have it turned off while I search for better sources, but I have a VM that runs a custom cron script that combines a custom RSS reader, podfox, mercury-parser, and coqui-ai to generate audio podcasts from RSS news feeds. I should probably clean it up and release the script/setup process. With a few tweaks and some AI text-to-speech and a little machine learning audio processing you can get a really good podcast experience from text posts.

API for getting news fulltext
An alternative would be to extract the plain text from the article's page with either some "readability" API or a library like Mercury Parser: https://github.com/postlight/mercury-parser

How does Firefox's Reader View work?
I havenât directly compared them, but I have also found mercury parser (https://github.com/postlight/mercury-parser) to be very reliable.
Since it turns a website into very plain (X)HTML itâs fairly easy to use it to make a browsing proxy or automatically produce epub files for e-readers, which is what I do.

Build your self-hosted Evernote
Make sure that at the end of the process you have the node and npm executables installed - the http.webpage integration uses the Mercury Parser API to convert web pages to Markdown.

Reading from the web offline and distraction-free
Good luck! Those HTML issues you're coming across are tough and so varied across the web!
I was working with Mercury Parser (pluggable parsing for different sites) in the past.

A Unix-style personal search engine and web crawler for your digital footprint
Sadly not - I'd love it to do that, but the Pocket API doesn't make that available.
I've been contemplating building an add-on for Dogsheep that can do this for any given URL (from Pocket or other sources) by shelling out to an archive script such as https://github.com/postlight/mercury-parser - I collected some suggestions for libraries to use here: https://twitter.com/simonw/status/1401656327869394945
That way you could save a URL using Pocket or browser bookmarks or Pinboard or anything else that I can extract saved URLs from an a separate script could then archive the full contents for you.
