Yes! I meant to link to rctestflight and not RCLifeOn. Amazing stuff. Especially the latest ground effect series.

I burnt out hard after almost 20 years programming, mostly web things, last decade in the full-stack JavaScript ecosystem. Last year I started building simple electronic stuff with the Raspberry Pi Pico board. It's not far off from pro

https://ciechanow.ski hands down. The front page is just the latest post in it's entirety. The format and interactivity and content is amazing.

I spent a few years developing a Japanese-English dictionary that had searchable example sentences. Full text indexing for Japanese is a nightmare. I used MeCab, Kumon, and Kuromoji for morphological analysis and tokenization, you should ch

That's most definitely true. But describing one's character or predicting behavior based on that is simply random stereotyping. And even if we could make some use of it, the astrology crowd would never embrace it.

Sorry, I don't remember. But it was definitely written by a Prof. Something Something, PhD. And of course it had a mesmerizing rendering of some cosmic occurrence on the cover.

Another way I noticed that makes "smart" people believe in bullshit is using very scientific language and vague science concepts. I noticed one of my friends (college educated and an ex FAANG executive) reading a book about astrol

It's not about the Roth IRA. It's about him using politics and influencing the public for personal gains. And those gains are based on arming evil agencies with evil weapons. And he's not even trying to hide it, calling it Pa

An alternative to the Apple ecosystem. Same functionality and range of products, different design choices. e.g. laptops with matte displays and columnar layout keyboards. Think different.

How about showing the comments directly on the video, at a specific time, and a specific place. Something like Soundcloud comments but for video. Asian video platforms used to do that. Here's an example: https://www.youtube.

Yes, it was my favorite for a while. But recently I switched to GraphCMS for more basic data structure and I love it. Especially the UI. I think what the market is missing is a sort of locally run CMS that is file based with Sqlite and mana

I'm a fullstack JavaScript dev. I used to write everything in pure React and serve it with Express on Node but two years ago I started experimenting with all the fancy new frameworks and now my every project is: - Gatsby or Next depend

The Polish government always had a thing for people in funny hats. Miners are treated like royalty there. Poland just loves when people sacrifice themselves for no good reason at all, and the more suffering it brings the better. Miners are

We once had a friend staying over for the weekend with her 3-5 year old daughter. My girlfriend took my DSLR camera and they took hundreds of photos. I casually imported everything from the SD card to my Apple Photos library without even lo

I just realized that Harley Austin from harleyaustin.com is the same guy that wrote the article. He writes romance novels, horrible blog posts, and websites.

This felt so underwhelming. I don't know if it's because I've seen SpaceX doing much more complicated missions or it's just not that big of a deal. They got about two minutes of zero G and came down immediately. You can

As someone who grew up in Eastern Europe in the early 2000s, with a a taste for Western media, especially movies, and the Internet becoming a widespread thing, it was infuriating waiting for movies to come to theaters months behind the rest

I made an alternative HN interface that works good on mobile and adds some functionality like dark mode, split pane view for comments, etc.. It's open sourced and you can use it from https://yahni.news

Completely agree. I think it's the aether of modern science. And I believe that one day all the discrepancy between measurements that lead to the idea of dark matter will be explained by a new (and by that time seemingly obvious) appro

Not OP. I helped a couple friends get into programming and it certainly helped me gain a new perspective, value my skills, and motivated me. So I would give that a try.

Check out www.designjoy.co. They do all kinds of design (including logo, website, business cards, etc.) and have a very interesting business model that might fit your needs. I am not affiliated with them in any way but it's the first t

Yup. And since almost everyone is using AdSense it doesn't make much difference to them. The funny thing is that my AdSense ban didn't affect the SERP position at all. I was still the second result for "japanese dictionary&qu

Similar thing happened to me. I built an online Japanese - English dictionary and used AdSense to monetize it. One day I got an email saying that my domain has been permabanned because my website appears to be promoting rape and pedophilia.

I had a late 2009 MacBook Pro with matte screen, the one with the "ugly" silver bezel around it. It was the last model ever that offered a matte coating. It was fantastic. I used it for over 8 years and even after the first retina
