Show HN: I converted my notebook into a searchable database of IT keywords

* Successfully looked up RLHF (reinforcement learning from human feedback)

* Failed when looking up NIH (not invented here)

Hmm. Would you mind devoting the rest of your life to making this dictionary comprehensive, and keeping it updated?

Slightly smaller request: could you make it possible to select and copy the definitions?

I’ll do my best to keep it updated regularly! I’ve added the copy functionality now to each definition entry - no need for that extra step of selecting!

card_zero

Well, I didn't want to copy the whole thing, I wanted to select and copy it myself, as is standard and expected. I don't want a handy search button that sends me to google, either, since I don't use google. If you keep on helping me to do things I didn't want to, I'll have a user experience.

  :root body { user-select: auto; }

Slap this in a userstyle, and it'll override lines 545–546 of the stylesheet, restoring the expected behaviour.

Great work. Love the austere style.

Nit: don't think you need to prefix "database" with "searchable". If it's a DB, searchability is implied.

This is great. Thanks for this.

The only thing I'm missing is the automatic dark mode (respecting operating system's dark/light theme). If you want I could add that in a pull request.

jurajstefanic

Thanks! Great suggestion. Feel free to open a pull request and add it.

Doesn't seem to have "RTFM" (Read The Fucking/Friendly Manual)

redeux

That was the first thing I searched for too

jurajstefanic

Refresh and it's there!

Love the neo-brutalism look. What do you think about crowd-sourcing the glossary or creating a submission form for new terms?

jurajstefanic

Thanks! Added a submission form for the new words and definitions (also in the neo-brutalism style).

As for crowd-sourcing the glossary, that is also planned. I just need to structure the existing entries first, and it's good to go! It will be published as part of the GitHub repository.

Maybe consider adding a highlight to the search term in the (filtered) text.

jurajstefanic

Great idea! Adding it now.

Cool!

nit: you've got a casing mismatch between Devops and DevOps

jurajstefanic

Nice catch. Fixed!
