Last week of 2023, I built an HN TLDR site that summarizes Hacker News articles into 3-5 sentences — just something to try my hands on OpenAI APIs.

I want to build more features and add support for any RSS feeds too.

Nothing to make money out of, but something for my personal use.

It's a poorly written post. I think mostly written for SEO and traffic.

One thing that I didn't notice others here didn't comment about:

In the section where they write about xrange vs range in python 2 vs 3, they reference a piece of code supposedly written for py3 which isn't there.

xrange was fast in python 2 because it allows you to evaluate lazily, which is what range does in python 3.

So whatever benefits you got out of xrange is there in range.

We few people know it could be bypassed. But how will the millions of other users who know nothing about VPNs? Also what if Airtel blocks all these popular VPNs?

Also its not about if we can bypass it or not. It is about what is morally/ethically right and what is wrong.

We tried using it in the previous startup I worked with.

It was pretty hard to make everyone use it and soon we ended up installing redmine for issue tracking.

I didn't even get the email from evernote regarding the password reset.

Luckily, I had the evernote app sign me out and asking me to login again (which didn't work with my old password). I had to login through the website and it prompted me to change my password (no link on why) and then it worked with the new password.

I searched through my email trying to see if any email got eaten by the spam folder, but none, "No emails".

Do Google employees also see the same interface with ads? And if so, shouldn't it be illegal as the employees (in)directly increase Google's revenue?

Coincidentally, I had such an idea for a long time and have started writing an application for such a blog in my spare time. But my blog isnt just for the tech community. Will do a "Show HN" soon, when I have a working site.

But would be nice to see a github hosted version.

There is a whole group of website part of Bharat Matrimony (site where parents find life partners for their sons/daughters) catering to the particular regions/languages in India - bengali, tamil, kannada, telugu, etc. Each on its own domain.

There are also separate sites for various religions and some exclusive sites like Privilege Matrimony, Elite Matrimony, DivorceeMatrimony, Defence Matrimony, etc.

I don't think you read the article fully. The author has a SGS2 and while using it he realised that it was not as comfortable to reach the edges and corners as it was on an iPhone.
