Re:Let's start using DuckDuckGo more often on Saturday May 18, 2019 @10:33AM (#19947586)
- "python remove from list": Google has the Python docs on the first page. DDG does not.

- "site:news.ycombinator.com rms_returns duckduckgo": At first the DDG results looked better but multiple results had no mention of "rms_returns" at all.

- "archlinux dmesg audit": Both nice.

- "lange nacht der museen berlin": Wow, unexpectedly relevant results on DDG, did they improve their local results?

I think I should indeed try again. Previous times it was full of spam for local results.

He is working on that at the moment. I wish he did some crowdfunding.

I do not see attribution on https://golden.com/wiki/Product_Hunt

The vast majority of the text on that page is a verbatim copy from Wikipedia. You have to provide appropriate attribution.

Also note the hints at the original in the URL: "dji_dev_jailed_fined_leaking_aes_ssl_keys_github"

The Register decided that adding the nationality was good for clicks. :(

So for one of your "showcase" pages, the "Golden AI" plagiarized Wikipedia content and now you are in violation of the CC BY clause Wikipedia uses: https://golden.com/wiki/Product_Hunt/activity/user/golden-ai

How could that happen?

What will happen now?

How will you prevent such copyright violations in the future?

And "AI". And all about blockchain and VC.
Re:How To Edit A Low-Budget Blockbuster [video] on Sunday January 20, 2019 @03:36PM (#18955430)
Low-budget being 1 million dollars.

Sadly that video edit was so unnerving I closed the tab after skipping around to see if it later changed (it did not).

Please use the article's title: "Runner found to be a hitman after GPS Watch ties him to crime scene"

Or at least tame the capitalization for a more readable "Hitman runner Mark Fellows convicted of murder on GPS watch data"

Raytracing, not textures.
Nice images!

You can half the filesizes by better compressing the PNGs, for example with optipng or pngcrush, losslessly.

Thank you! The following quote resonates heavily with my mind:

> I'm fairly addicted to that point in development of a project where it's all about exploring a vast solution space, and making countless little choices that will hopefully add up to something coherent and well thought out and useful. Or might fail gloriously.

Wow! Thank you.
As I recently inherited a huge, well-tagged music collection (tens of terabytes of files) I am very interested in this. Is there something like it, also supporting .cue files and also storing the original filenames and structure? A mediaplayer agnostic way to access this treasure trove would be the best.
