In a few places, Microsoft sneaks in clever references to Clippy in the Azure LLM documentation[0]. Nice to see they're still letting a bit of humor shine through here and there.

https://kagi.com is by far the best out there IMO.

Reminds me of https://vim-adventures.com/. Playing that game made me become very proficient with VIM. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to get started with it.

That‘s simply not correct. Instead of founding as a GmbH you can start with an UG. A UG is legally virtually the same thing as a GmbH and you only need 1€ Stammkapital.
Once you start generating money with it, you can transform it to a GmbH. The only thing you achieve by that is displaying that your business is at least backed by 25k€.
In addition to that, you could also just start your business as a GbR. Funding this can be done completely for free (without needing any lawyers, paying fees etc.). As a GbR you‘re personally liable as a founder but when starting small that usually isn‘t a problem.
Founding in Germany kind of sucks, but for many different reasons.

I asked: "AITA for using REGEX to parse HTML?"
And got: "NTA. That's what regex is for"
Nice.

It's the framework I'm most familiar with. As it was intended to be a personal project I just chose it because it was the easiest way for me to build it.

I've been using and working on my custom hacker news frontend for a few years now. As the name suggests, it only has minor "improvements" compared to the official website. It has a dark theme, (IMO) better layout and typography and it's a SPA with server side rendering.
Currently you cannot login, vote and post comments.
Tech used:
- Angular (Universal)
- https://github.com/tastejs/hacker-news-pwas (which has been archived as I just noticed)

After trying many HTML2PDF libraries we're doing the same thing and are quite happy with this approach. I've tried using "professional" solutions like iText pdfHTML[0]. They all seem to be based on flyingsaucer[1] which only supports HTML4 and CSS2, and will fail rendering pages that use modern CSS let alone JavaScript.

They do. You can use something like puppeteer to use a headless Chrome or Firefox to generate PDFs from HTML for you.

Slightly Better Hacker News (SBHN). It's an alternative HN web-client that I built and use as my default HN version nowadays. It features some layout improvements over the original and has a dark theme.
It is not yet feature complete (missing login, routing is broken in some rare cases) but I plan on improving it on my next "lazy" weekend and get a nice domain for it. I'm also going to publish the source code on GitHub.

Maybe those "INSTALL OUR APP NOW!!!" banners, floating action buttons, popups and bottom/top fixed bars caused too much traffic.
neoshare builds software for banking and real estate: complex financing workflows, property valuation and market intelligence, and corporate ownership analysis.
We're hiring engineers for teams of up to four people, each owning a product or part of our shared platform. The team handles customer problems, product decisions, design, implementation and production. Work ranges from permissions and data infrastructure to financial domain logic and user interfaces.
Looking for people who have shipped products and are strong across disciplines: full-stack engineers with product sense, design engineers, and backend/platform engineers who care about how their systems are used.
We use LLMs throughout development, from exploring codebases to implementing and testing features. You should be comfortable directing them, reviewing their work, and taking responsibility for what ships.
German preferred, especially for customer-facing work; but not a must.
Hiring process: intro call, a 90-minute product exercise with your own tools, and a joint review.
Apply: [email protected]. Send a few links to things you've built and a short note on your contribution.
