Captchas are not effective at preventing attacks at all. There are many human and AI powered services as well as secret exploits that attackers can use. Captchas only stop spam, amateur scripts and web-scrapers. It's a real shame that

yeah but the icons are already on github aren't they? Why are they on reduntly hosted on firebase? This whole website can be free on github pages - very confusing.

I'm not sure if I'm reading this project correctly but aren't all of the icons already hosted on github for free? This whole website can be hosted for free on github pages with one javascript script for search, right?

Another point that is often overlooked is that geographical _flat_ size is misleading and often irrelevant. The distance/area of 1000 kilometers gives you very little information without topographical/logistical context. i.e. k

I'm pretty sure it's an open secret that paid Tinder is definitely helping out their users in various obvious (e.g. see who swiped you) and non-obvious ways (e.g. more favorable matching algorithms). Not sure if it's a bad th

Well your mouth, gut is full of living organism and well, you inhale, consume living organisms all the time just by existing so I wonder how far this argument can go. As far as veganism goes I think bacteria is where they draw the line righ

It's a bit ignorant to claim that public knowledge access has no value. There's a lot to learn from reading #1 project of it's kind, don't you think?

Yes, there is global search since v2.3.0 (current newest version is 2.4.0); however it has to be explicitly enabled by the instance so not every instance has it.

Real question here is whether HN a community or a glorified news feed? I think it's the latter and there's nothing wrong with that, I actually don't want a forum community, just a place where I can read the _news_ and some

Why not use weighted market share scale then? In other words if you're not on the default option list you are weighted more for normalizations.

There's no memorization involved at all. You create a bin script or an alias the first time you do it. i.e. typing `escape-html "<h1>hello</h1>"` in your terminal is infinitely more efficient and easier than

You're really nitpicking here. There's nothing an alias or a 3 line `~/bin` script can't solve. As for base64, there's already a several decade old gnu util available in every terminal.

Not to sound negative but I always wonder, who is this for? Seems like a lot of these can be replaced by a line of python (or javascript or gnu util). - backslash escapes: `print(text)` - b64 decode: `base64.b64decode('text')` - h
