<p>Suggestions:<p>Put the parameters into the url so searches can be bookmarked, like zip codes, terms, filters, and other aspects can be shared easily as well.<p>Description search both include (like i7, 16GB) which is good for electronics and exclude for example exclude "repair" or "needs repair" which is helpful for many things.<p>Category specific filters, vehicle millage range, year<p>Keywords classification filters like pickup, delivery, payment methods, how many days you have to pay if known, etc.<p>You are probably already thinking along these lines for some of them, just an encouragement to implement. Yes categorization/filters can be fuzzy(commas, which word or plurals used, etc), so feel free to put the [beta] or [experimental] tag until a recipe that gets most of the stuff works.<p>Thanks for building this, I bookmarked it and already shared it with a few friends.</p>

<p>While I'll ignore the System D hyperbole, your point about Unix has merit.<p>I think the *BSD are also good, at least from an educational standpoint, with their relative simplicity and low system requirements. Since there is a lot of integration making a from scratch distro might take less material, but it could be supplemented with more in depth/sysadmin exploration.</p>

<p>More and more Youtube search results are a playlist when you click the result.<p>This causes a fatalistic chain where the video has a captcha, and if you don't answer it in 5-15 seconds it goes to the next in the playlist and the process repeats.  This turbo charges uncontrollably down the series of videos.<p>The solution is within seconds remove the &pp= (or go back a few pages and do so) this gives you as much time as you need to solve the captcha. Or remember to copy the search result link instead of clicking on it and clean it up.<p>I wrote to youtube about this bug where playlists don't wait for you to answer the captcha and never heard back from them, which is what I expected, but figured I'd try.</p>

<p>Plan 9 extensions would only require enough examples to justify and might not take years. Though your taking years assessment would be right if there's a dearth of kernel spots to add up where automatic pointer conversion for anonymous fields, or using the typedef name to access them, offer some improvement, not necessarily even a huge improvement.<p>Since with the Microsoft extension, it was just waiting until enough examples were woven into the discussion to overcome the back and forth that was preventing "biting the bullet".</p>

<p>I wonder if this would actually make vision worse, increasing nearsightedness or causing the condition.  It seems that dark words on light backgrounds can cause your eyes to elongate over time[0] or other conditions to form, and it seems it is no coincidence that many readers require glasses.<p>Would the same occur with dark mode on a transparent background?  While I am not saying that it would negatively effect the eyes, I am skeptical of this claim of letting the eyes relax, it seems like marketing.<p>[0] Wagner, S., Strasser, T.

<p>Poorly worded title, something like this would be clearer:<p>-----<p>Chinese Authorities Threaten Mainland Relatives to Shut Down Film Festival in New York<p>-----<p>Even the subheading from the article seemed better:
"Chinese Police Harass Filmmakers, Families to Undermine Free Expression Abroad"<p>Though I would of made it "Filmmaker's Families".<p>How can you be free if your family is held hostage. As soon as a person from China becomes free or achieves anything, this is what happens.<p>This is what they do just because of a movie they don't care for.  Imagine how much further they go when they have a bigger ask for something they truly want.<p>The coercion is very strong, and why some end up in jail for spying or other criminal acts in the hosting country, even if they end up citizens, and love the place. Very messed up.</p>
