• Hash Collisions and Exploitations

  I wonder if you could construct a hash collision for high pagerank sites in the google (or Bing) index. You would need to know what hash algorithm google uses to store URLs. This is assuming that they hash the URLs for their indexing. Which surely they do. MD5 and SHA1 existed when google was founded, but hash collisions weren't a big concern until later IIRC. You'd want a fast algorithm because you're having to... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Is there a way in US libraries to access newspaper websites which are behind a paywall?

  If we (the library) want to provide access to something like the nytimes.com or economist.com websites, what we can do is essentially bulk purchase, at some discount, subscriptions that can be claimed by our users. While this may work for a university campus, it doesn't scale well for a public library for both budgetary and logistical reasons. Source: 7 months ago

• Weirdest bug(?)

  I tried to link my friends a NYTimes article but it tells me "www.nytimes.com is blocked. nytimes.com refused to connect. ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE" and then automatically tries to load a .onion link in a tor window. Source: 8 months ago

• drowning in safari tabs

  Hello! My goal is to be able to automate tab-closing in Safari. I have hundreds of tab groups in Safari and many contain web pages that I no longer need. It would take me days to organize and manually go through them to close them. For example. I would love to close any tab that contains "gmail.com" or "nytimes.com" etc. Source: 11 months ago

• Google to block news in Canada over law on paying publishers

  It's lazy to know that the NYT writes an article and google search that article. Go to the browser and type nytimes.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• Scrapy Vs. Crawlee

  Scrapy is an open-source Python-based web scraping framework that extracts data from websites. With Scrapy, you create spiders, which are autonomous scripts to download and process web content. The limitation of Scrapy is that it does not work very well with JavaScript rendered websites, as it was designed for static HTML pages. We will do a comparison later in the article about this. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Creating an advanced search engine with PostgreSQL

  If you're looking for a turn-key solution, I'd have to dig a little. I generally write a scraper in python that dumps into a database or flat file (depending on number of records I'm hunting). Scraping is a separate subject, but once you write one you can generally reuse relevant portions for many others. If you can get adept at a scraping framework like Scrapy you can do it fairly quickly, but there aren't many... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• What do .NET devs use for web scraping these days?

  I know this might not be a good answer, as it's not .NET, but we use https://scrapy.org/ (Python). Source: about 1 year ago
