I searched through HN for hours trying every keyword I could think of including 'wife', 'husband', 'dating' etc.

the title of the post was 'How fateful?'. I would have never found it lol


IMO the HN search isn't even worth using -- it's way too strict. Google's a lot better at finding relevance without the exact keywords.

And also, HN's title policy is unfortunate :( I wish we had the editorial freedom to give articles better, more meaningful titles... but the guidelines actively discourage that.


omg yes ! exactly that one. thank you so much


Np! HN search isn't great. I googled "hackernews wife geolocation" instead and it was the second result.

Also, cool story, thanks for bringing it up :)


instead of having a web3 Popcorn time, why do torrent websites not adapt a tokenised model to increment the number of seeders? could not seeders become sort of miners where they get some sort of token by hosting files? And leechers would need to pay a low amount of tokens to download some files therefore increasing the value of those tokens and incentivising further file hosting? furthermore, people who post content would need to lock some amount of tokens (and receive some profit based on the number of downloads) but in case the content they post is insecure they can be slashed. the number of tokens they lock determines the index of the result after a search. so more tokens locked = higher in the ranking. by slashing the accounts who post files containing viruses, this would make the files hosted on the website way safer.


plus no ads needed because the website's devs can have an initial amount of tokens that are vested linearly thus incentivising them to mantain the website


gwern posted his rss feed which i think it is very interesting.

it includes a lot of rss links and they are all divided by category.

you can find it at this page https://www.gwern.net/Changelog (ctl+f "rss").


how do you have a RSS feed of HN? what links does it include out of the thousands that are posted here daily? also, can I ask you what service are you currently using for you RSS feed? thanks.


Hacker News’ RSS feed is here → https://news.ycombinator.com/rss

Unfortunately, it only includes the title and the submission’s link, no content, which makes it a bit useless if your intension is to read the articles and not just the titles, which you can already do by visiting the home page.

Some people have created complementary RSS feeds like this → https://github.com/cixtor/rssfeed#readme which basically take the submission’s URL, download the web page, and removes the irrelevant HTML tags using Mozilla’s Readability.js library. Although, this project uses a Go (golang) port: https://github.com/go-shiori/go-readability#readme . It seems to work quite well, with minor bugs here and there due to inconsistencies of modern web development.


I personally use hnrss [1], and usually just display the frontpage [2].

[2]: https://hnrss.org/frontpage


https://hnrss.github.io/ was super useful. thanks a lot. i am now using miniflux which is super clean


There's probably more of them but if you look at the html (browsers used to have an icon for this...) there's a <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="rss"> tag in there on the home page, so https://news.ycombinator.com/rss should be the feed


this is dope
