Lack of DC fast charging makes the range even more limiting. It takes 2.7 hours to add another 150 miles. Modern EVs can add 150 miles of range in 10-15 minutes.
It's a recreational vehicle for booting around to and from the country club and out to the fancy places that European gentlemen go on afternoon Sunday drives to impress their mistresses.
Oh that reminds me, I should go check my lottery ticket.
Yeah, the unfortunate reality with EVs is power and weight are tightly correlated, since the power output is limited by the batteries, and more battery capacity generally means more power output.
Thank you for the feedback and #23 on a weekend day is very impressive!
I found there are a couple of those small improvements that make HN significantly easier and more pleasant to read. Good to hear that the red names are not too distracting!
Thanks, it actually went all the way to #2, really unexpected and had other plans for the day but then ended up being around to attend to the commenters, some gave really good feedback.
It surely helps on the very long discussions where the OP replies and the max-width helps also with readability.
The reason for a timezone specific RSS feed is because, like the site itself, the RSS feed only updates once a day at midnight. And _when_ the day changes depends on the timezone. Therefore we created different RSS feeds, one for each time zone.
This happened in the sixties, during and after the six-day war between Israel and Egypt. Therefore I think a movie could be made out of this story any day now.
It's been a couple of years since I watched it, but I don't recall the GBLA being mentioned in the film.
For anyone interested, the film we're talking about is the 2015 documentary "Bitter Lake" by Adam Curtis which tells the story of how an agreement signed on the Great Bitter Lake back in 1945 could have had an unexpectedly huge impact on how the modern world developed through the next 60+ years.
Indeed, coincidentally just watched this a week before the Ever Given blockage. It's relevant to this thread. The soundtrack, the archival footage and the pairing between them makes for fantastic viewing, although I personally found this not as intellectually interesting and even more 'tenuous' than Hypernormalisation or Can't Get You Out of My Head.
#2 is fantastic. I would love for it to be even slower. Something like a brief overview of last week, or last month. I can't news I've read yesterday, which means most it was pointless.
I didn't find any links to the original page on HN. And second: may be the timezone accounting would be great. There is friday morning at may location now, but I still see only thursday.
News in the digital age updates constantly. No matter what, there is always some "breaking news". This causes news sites to become more of a slot machine than a substantive source of information.
A Brief History of Yesterday tries to be an antidote. It uses Wikipedia to show a summary of what happened yesterday. It's no news anymore, the content is already gradually becoming history.
I started working on it last weekend. It is still in a pre-alpha state, but please let me know what you think of it!
Kind of an interesting aggregation but Wikipedia is a lot of information to try and consume for a "brief history" I do like the tree view, but I don't like having to open up the different sections, I think I should be able to get what I'm looking for on the landing page. Also, and this is subjective but something about the UX makes it feel like an overwhelming amount of information, especially the health and environment section. I would want it to feel like something I could absorb in a few minutes.
Yes, the 'Health and environment' section is quite overwhelming, mostly due to COVID-19. That's why I close each section initially, this way you open only the sections that interest you.
I modify the tree from Wikipedia slightly to get a less cluttered overview.[1]
Ok, I added a quick shortcut. You can now go to a specific date by just going to that page, for example, the page for exactly a month ago is https://hackerdaily.io/2020-11-29. My database goes back to roughly the start of October, so that's the furthest you can go back for now.
I haven't add anything to the UI for now. Do you have an idea how to add this nicely to the existing UI?
Thanks for the prompt response. I get a “404 This page could not be found” error page when I visit that link or any other URL I type manually with the date in the last one month.
As a start, I think adding a “Choose Date” link and providing a date picker to navigate to a specific day may be nice.
Correct. But my request is rooted in the fact that AskHN/ShowHN are often more niche questions/show posts. The signal:noise ratio for them is, imo, different than that of popular posts on the front page. Therefor i'm describing that they should not be required to be front-page-popular to be browse-able.
Another way to think about it is i often want to see discussions and projects from HN folks. The frontpage can often just be full of popular nonsense - Reddit-esque. However ShowHN and AskHN often have gems that are obscure, with a much smaller amount of points.
Yet another way to look at it is: i'd love a toggle filter to only show me AskHN/ShowHN on the front page. However most days it would only be one or two posts.
Hopefully this illustrates my desires :)
(one final example, hah, might be this very post. I suspect it'll get over 100, but currently it's sitting at 60 pts)
