It is interesting to see how the title effect number of upvotes and comments. I’ve submitted this other day and it did not get any upvotes. My submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17471476

I think there are a few variables, like time of day and competing headlines. I saw some breakdowns of the concept on reddit a while back, it's seemingly pretty random.

Time is everything here. Your post has to be in an "active mode" all the time in order to get to the front page and once it made it there (!and if the content is interesting and relevant!), the post will keep getting the points.

Instead of investing in out of band resources like this, I really wish people would just contribute improvements to the upstream documentation, which is usually more comprehensive and up-to-date than any of these resources can be.

I think the idea of a cheat sheet is that it isn't comprehensive documentation.

This is not working at all for me. I keep getting HTML & CSS vomit regardless on whether I use their command line tool or curl.

Your curl user agent is most probably set to a browser user agent.

Try changing it to the curl user agent:

    curl -A "curl/7.37.0" cht.sh

Not very respectful of https://github.com/chrisallenlane/cheat to use the same name. The original cheat does exactly the same thing, has a big following and more stars, and has existed for years. I've opened an issue re: the name conflict https://github.com/chubin/cheat.sh/issues/34 Afaik these are the big players in the space: - bro: https://github.com/hubsmoke/bro - tldr: https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr - cheat:…

We are of course aware of the beautiful cheat project and we even use it (what is documented in our README.md file), but please keep in mind that:

1. Our project is called cheat.sh and not cheat (for example xterm.js and xterm are two separated projects and xterm existed for decades before xterm.js; should they be renamed too from your point of view?);

2. We are trying to mitigate the impact by using cht.sh where possible;

3. We do not and did not ever use the name to steal, to borrow, or to somehow use popularity of cheat.

I do not see any naming conflict actually. The client/command is called cht.sh, does not even have cheat in their name.

I am a big fan of the cheat project myself, and I don't want to do any harm for it. Even more, as I said, I would prefer that we cooperate with that project.

I enjoy cheat sheets as much as the next person but I think folks are missing out the key element that there's significant benefit in making them yourself.

Yes, writing it down.

you learn it by writing it down.

I like this (I find brief documentation with worked examples makes it a lot easier for me to understand most things), but I've just had a look at the python lambda one which is served up by curl... and it has some errors in it. Followed the instructions on how to edit it, forked it, and... the version I went to edit has the two changes I thought needed doing already done (3 hours ago)! Pity, my first chance to contribute to a project (early-learning level python student in my mid 40s)!

It does beg the question when do the curl versions get updated?

Wait, in stealth mode it's listening for any text selected, even in other programs? This is a bit mind boggling - what's to prevent any program listening to any other (like a password manager for example)? Is this sort of access not prevented by an accessibility permission?
