I feel like Washington state doesn’t get enough credit. 72%+ from renewables and water reservoirs are the original grid scale battery.

It’s great to see that Mitmproxy is still being developed - it indirectly made my career. Back in 2011, I was using it to learn API development by intercepting mobile app requests when I discovered that Airbnb’s API was susceptible to Rails

I worked on Turbotax as a co-op back in 2009/10 so things have definitely changed but two things stood out to me. First, there were two “peaks” one around January 19th (when the first wave of W2s goes out) and one around April 15th. Se

I'm in the same camp. I think a lot of these anti-k8s articles are written by software developers who haven't really been exposed to the world of SRE and mostly think in terms of web servers. A few years ago I joined a startup whe

Are you sure about this? I thought the limit across the board was 10 years.

For anyone looking for a new keyboard with custom key maps, I’d really recommend the Kinesis advantage. I switched to it 8 years ago to fend off carpal tunnel after my old keyboard was bothering my wrists. It was easy to get used to and now

I grew up in Cleveland and since moving out every city I've lived in has had an issue with gentrification (Boston, NYC, SF, Portland). While I empathize with the individuals affected, part of me can't help thinking of it as a good

Shameless plug: If you're interested in the art market and factors which affect price/value, I work for Arthena (YC W17) and we're hiring for a variety of roles. If you're interested check out https://angel.co

Not to take away from your point but 0.01% of 164k is ~17. Edit: I didn't want to be a jerk so I decided to look it up. Looks like NYT[1] has the number at 0.6% (probably higher in reality since it's self reported) so that's

Not a super hip site but boondockerswelcome.com has been around for a while. It seems mostly targeted toward the boomer/florida snowbird crowd.

I had a stint of about six months when I lived in a camper and worked full-time as an engineer. I was amazed at the kinds of places I could get away with staying for free (coast in oregon, ski resorts, national forests). I would drive aroun

I’ve been using Postico ( https://eggerapps.at/postico ) on OSX for the last few years and been enjoying it: clean look, ability to edit and explore schemas, ability to export results to a variety of formats (JSON, CSV, etc.)

A little bit of a shameless plug but for anyone interested in the intersection of art and tech, Arthena (YC W17) is hiring software engineers and data scientists. https://angel.co/arthena/jobs/

I had a similar disposition but my desires recently changed. My family moved to the US when I was ten and growing up I lacked a sense of permanence/place and carried the idea that freedom (not being tied down to a location, or a set of

After moving to the Columbia Gorge I became fascinated with the dams and energy production on the Columbia. Over the last 75ish years the whole river has been turned into a battery through a series of dams and reservoirs. The scale is asto

Is there/would y'all be interested in a mini HN reader meetup? Perhaps over beer in Hood River? I settled in White Salmon late last year due to its proximity to outdoor activities without knowing too much about the area. I'm

I didn't own that much to begin with but I sold what I didn't need, and put everything else in a friend's garage. Oddly (but in line with what most digital nomads seem to experience) after living out of a backpack for a few m

Most your points resonate with me but in my experience a large part of it has to do with perspective. I [believe] I'm in the latter stages of burnout and while very anxiety-inducing, it's been a great learning and worthwhile exper

I tried something similar this past summer while traveling through Europe/Turkey and found that the hardest part freelancing (beyond the difference in time zones) was finding stable wifi in order to transfer client files. Even in a place li
