@k00b what best practices would you recommend for making large requests to the API? Like say I wanted to retrieve every item from a specific month.

30 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b 4h

You should be able to use top and type all IIRC with custom date range, and you'll want to cursor back slowly (sleeping every so often) until cursor is null.

If top doesn't support all, you can do posts and comments independently with top.

There's something I don't understand about the cursor. Should it be opaque? Or should one look inside the base64 encoded data?

When I use a larger limit parameter (say 999 instead of the default 21), I get 999 sized chunks, but the cursor still 'steps' only 21, causing superfluous numbers of calls and duplicates in the results.

Only when I base64 decode the cursor and manually increase the offsets do I get the complete and unique set of results in a minimum number of calls. Is this intended?

Nah, it should be opaque. It's probably a bug where the offset isn't overridden.

This refactor is the largest refactor of my career by miles. In the past, anything this big was a literal rewrite from scratch.

It's currently in the exciting stage of being at functional parity with prod and most of what remains is leveraging/exposing its improvements.

I dunno, tackling a refactor that large, this would probably be me:

Kudos to the SN team, it must have been quite an undertaking

It's more like this

I also have one more gigante annoyance left: migrating all the prod data to fit into the new design.

I hate when people say “If you look at this in real terms” meaning they used CPI to adjust the nominal inflation rate. Why they call it real never made any sense to me! They should just call it adjusted using CPI

Idea for Stacker News user interface.

I hate to click on a SN item and it turns out to be just a link with a zero character introduction.

If these were flagged in some way (like character count) for the post intro I could just skip those posts.

there's a territory for it now ~hyperlinks. Regardless I suspect stackers will continue posting hyperlinks everywhere anyway

27 sats \ 0 replies \ @SimpleStacker 6h

good idea.

65 sats \ 5 replies \ @k00b 6h

hmmm maybe just an icon like we have for polls and bounties.

sox made the icon already

~hyperlinks is for anything at least mildly interesting that you can find on the web!

I believe the issue is that many news links are posted on SN without any comments, ~hyperlinks can’t fix this

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @supratic 4h

links' description should be mandatory to fix this issue

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @SimpleStacker 4h

i don't think i'd support mandatory link description. Sometimes a pure link post can have value.

A simple label to advertise the fact that the post contains no text would be the way to go, imo.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @supratic 4h

so one knows before clicking, and if one knows there's no content can click directly the link.

Make sense.

If we can reduce the risk of friction likely to lead to war, this is probably all we can reasonably hope to achieve.
