Scroll-to-text fragments not completely working via reddit
This doesn't make sense. There is no mystery about how scroll-to-text fragments should work. They're documented e.g. here: https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment

Borges: The Library of Babel [pdf]
It's call "Text Fragments", and it was introduced to Chrome more than one year ago. https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment
I think it works in Chrome and Edge, but not in Firefox.

What's everyone working on this week? [2021, week 12]
I kind of want to be able to upvote this post three times: once for the actual projects (which sound really cool!); once for introducing me to the term/joke "rakit"; and once for teaching me about the scroll to text fragment API – I had no idea that was a thing!

DuckDuckGo search engine – The privacy browser is growing rapidly
The most disturbing example of this I found recently is the new auto-highlighting feature Google proposed to the W3C then YOLO'd into chromium before people's concerns were met, because they have control of it and don't need industry approval to get that to happen. Here's an example convo with some of these topics raised.

How Google jumps to a section of webpage without internal linking, during search?
Per web.dev, it is for Chromium based-browsers and other browsers have not signaled intent to support. This is quite a rabbit hole. Very recently there has been some spec discussion if you follow links in the pages I've linked here.

Rule of Thumb: Anything that looks fancy is not worth you time
- Ads with Psychological tricks
Truly good websites have around 2 facts per 10 word sentence, and get instantly to the chase. Also: good websites give you the names of all their competitors/alternative websites before showing their own stuff, and give you further reading.
Right now the world of technology is supposedly more innovative than ever, but somehow Wikipedia (https://www.wikipedia.org/) and Search Hackernews (https://hn.algolia.com/) beat billion dollar search engines.
Articles written decades ago are still unsurpassed in terms of quality and ease of understanding, but the best modern websites can do is textbook explanations. It is time society graduates from boilerplate buzzword textbook culture.
Now the gems of the internet are slowly being buried beneath mountains of trash.
If something sounds boilerplate it isn't good enough.
Don't bother saying something that has been said before, and better.

What makes a translation great
>for more detail: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
Oh, I see. We actually discussed Pound about four years ago - just a little back and forth about the ABC of Reading: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24196681
>What's your explanation of why Pound went Fascist?
I'm not sure I particularly have one; I haven't read any of his longer political or cultural (i.e. non-literary) works. I just think it's silly to correlate an approach to translation that you dislike with fascism. Especially as I'm not sure it even makes sense on its own terms: I can only read your comment as 'lazy translator? Figures that he would be a fascist', but if I imagine the type of translation a fascist would approve of, the approach I picture is fastidious, fussy, concerned with fidelity to the point of stickler-ishness. (Isn't that from where we get 'grammar nazi'?)
And oh, well, since you ask I'll take a shy at it: my vague sense is that he became fascist because saw a society in decline due to it becoming more and more a sham society: opulence without virtue, power without vigour, money no longer tied to actually existing goods. (Of course, all of this shades easily into antisemitism.) He saw fascism as the answer; It's easier to see in retrospect that it wasn't.

Zed Decoded: Linux When? – Zed Blog
"multiplayer notepad" goes back 15 years at least - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... notepad&sort=byDate&type=comment
it was used back with a popular website which opened a text document and anyone viewing could type, but I can't remember the name. That became a thing in Google Docs, Microsoft Office, Floobits, and lots of self-hosted and cloned sites.

Ok, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.
I understand the reason for repeating these sentiments—it's the same reason why they get upvoted to the top of threads*—but repetition of this kind is what we're most trying to avoid here.

Show HN: Hacker Search – A semantic search engine for Hacker News
yeah there are only three stories coming up from the site search
https://hn.algolia.com/?q=postgres+clustering
only one is semanthically correct, the other pick up the wrong version of clustering (i.e. k-means instead of multi master writes)
but yeah if one doesn't test the hard cases, how does one know it preserves semantics :D
