I've used this text autocomplete to autocomplete me a Python setup and to autocomplete automatically running it.
It that scrapes Hn it works. Ironically, it's why I'm here.
- wiseowise 5mo agoWhy would you scrape HN when they offer free, generous API?
- phoronixrly 5mo agoAutocomplete only 'knew' how to output a scraper...
- u_fucking_dork 5mo agoNot true, I tried just now. Took 30 seconds of due diligence. You could have done this too. Do better. The problem is they’ll do what you ask. And if you are the type of non-curious person who replies “ Autocomplete only 'knew' how to output a scraper...”, then you’ll tell it to make you a scraper instead of ask what your options are for getting HN data.
- tomjen3 5mo agoOkay, fair. I am using the API to scrape it.
- solid_fuel 5mo agoSounds like you didn't even know what your own tool was doing. This would be a prime example of why relying on autocomplete based tools makes you look like a fool.
