Despite what you might think, Hacker News isn't just a place for technical content.

Doesn't work either, still asks to sign in.

Fascinating. Not only that, it even fetches https://www.youtube.com/feed/gr as the first result, at least on duckduckgo.

I was talking about this with a friend earlier this week. The people who work in software these days seem much more extroverted and outgoing than the 'introverted nerd' stereotype from the 90s.

Could you elaborate on that? What does 'flatMappable' mean in this context?

Interesting news, but the source seems blatantly partisan.

I grew up ~20 minutes from the place you're describing, and you just made me very nostalgic :D

I was fully expecting a radio station in Tamil Nadu, but this one's in Sri Lanka. I know there's a lot of Tamil people in Sri Lanka, but that's still pretty interesting!

I feel the same way, although I think technology's inspiration on fiction is stronger. Today's fiction, as you said, is simply tomorrow's science.

As another Tamilian, thank you for making this! I'm fluent in spoken Tamil from my parents and I've learned to read and write at a basic level, but I'd never formally learned the language.

It's a translation map of Indian languages - type in a word, see the translations across 22 languages.

I was inspired by this HN post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43152587), and wanted to make something similar for India (which has similar linguistic diversity). Translations are fetched with Google Translate, but I also display 'romanizations' (transliterated into Latin script), which are generated with a local ML model.

Now that it's done, I've mostly been working on a little Markdown-to-HTML parser in Haskell.

I believe they meant an additional $110, which would be a 110% markup.

Shameless plug: My Regex engine (https://pkg.go.dev/gitea.twomorecents.org/Rockingcool/kleing...) has dedicated syntax for this kind of task.

  <0-255>\.<0-255>\.<0-255>\.<0-255>

will only match full IPv4 addresses, but is a lot stricter than the one in the article.

EDIT: formatting
