I didn't want to get hit with buyer's remorse if a price drop happened after buying, due to a new model being announced or released. After digging around, it turns out that understanding the lifecycle of even the most popular phones isn’t that easy.

That's why I've made this simple site: keeps tabs on phones lifecycles and gives you a heads-up on upcoming sales seasons to nail your purchase timing. At the moment it only covers the big Android players—Samsung and Google, but I'm keen to expand if it proves useful.

Set 500 years in the future, the story follows two kids – one a robot, the other a human – as they explore the workings of what to them is ancient technology: our present-day computers.

I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on throughout my university studies. It’s called BiTE (https://github.com/WINSDK/bite) and it's a tool primarily focused on being an executable viewer with reverse engineering capabilities.

BiTE supports Windows, MacOS, and Linux, along with their associated executable formats. It’s also capable of parsing and displaying debug information using DWARF/PDB formats, which I hope will be useful even for just comparing codegen.

I’ve put a lot of effort into this and it's the first time I'm releasing something like this publicly. Any feedback, bug reports, or feature suggestions would be greatly appreciated!","time":1713357589,"title":"Show HN: BiTE – Cross-platform executable viewer and reverse engineering tool","type":"story","url":"https://github.com/WINSDK/bite"}],[40051524,{"by":"isoprophlex","descendants":11,"id":40051524,"kids":[40059183,40056112,40051636,40051699,40055502,40060093,40051525],"score":60,"text":"I built this tool to help me find interesting discussions on Hacker News. I love reading HN discussions almost more than the articles themselves. However, I found that full text search, although highly performant, is not always good at surfacing interesting discussions on a certain topic -- especially if you don't know what to search for exactly.

I built this by scraping the most recent ~6 million posts (that's about 2 years of history) and putting the resulting posts and their vector embeddings into Postgres.

Let me know what could be improved, and if you'd like a more detailed writeup of how this was built :)","time":1713273558,"title":"Show HN: Search HN for interesting comment sections","type":"story","url":"https://www.searchhacker.news"}]]
