Wow, this is a lovely tool, and it's clearly built with a lot of your own knowledge! I'm in New England and this has some great recs for my land. One slight piece of feedback: it's pretty clear a lot of the text was output o

sometimes I wonder if things like this are actually dark patterns to _encourage_ accidentally clicking 'like' etc. similar to how in Threads, the '...' icon (under which 'save' is hidden) is so small that half

Another reason I'm so incensed that Google bought Fitbit. Every Fitbit I had prior to the Google acquisition worked extremely well and had battery life in the 5-7-day range. My favorite was the Sense which was basically a full (but s

Claude Code 2.1.68 seems to have been the last version (before the "ctrl-o" debacle) which actually shows thinking inline. That + Opus 4.6 has been working great as a daily driver for me... all the new "safety" / &

Unpleasantly close to when Cloudflare bought BastionZero... the promises quickly fell away, the tool decayed (I found three serious bugs in one single week...and they had stopped even bothering to publish changelogs), and Cloudflare eventua

What is the latest way to show thoughts in Claude Code? I had to pin 2.1.68 since that seemed to be the last one with thinking shown (even though there wasn't anything about it in the following changelog), but I keep hearing that peop

And even for their older cars, most parts have gone NLA (no longer available), sending prices through the roof if you can find them at all! At least Porsche and Mercedes have programs to manufacture new parts for their old cars... (My E39

I have been wanting a pocket-notebook-size tablet since the day I got my RM2. I've been considering the Move since it came out, but the stylus change was worrying me, and the price is pretty high -- I feel like I would have bought rel

Has anyone migrated off of LastPass recently? How was it? I've been a user for decades, and though my frustration with them has been mounting for a long time, I've felt locked in. Migrating seems like a pain, especially for eld

As someone who hasn't sold on eBay in a looooong time but was thinking about it for some stuff I haven't been able to sell on Marketplace, their pages and pages of fee structuring were intimidating. What was the breakdown of that

For some reason nobody makes 2K 24"s anymore -- that was my sweet spot. But now to get the pixel density you have to go way bigger :/ dreading the day the old monitors I have cease working. I like the 24" size but 1080 is j

This makes me think of QGIS. I've recently been learning it for a couple different projects. It's an incredibly powerful and configurable tool, but its learning curve is incredibly steep. A big reason for this is that the UI is

Other than phones and laptops (i.e. "real computers"), most devices only support 2.4, no? I can't recall the last time I set up a non-computer device that didn't say "make sure you're using a 2.4GHz network&qu

If only calling "representatives" still worked nowadays in the age of blatant corporate lobbying... it's really hard not to completely despair, because is there _anything_ we peons can do? (I used to call my senators and hous

Have you posted any writeups or other information about how you built this? I'm eyeing a Mazda as a next car (I've never owned a car newer than a 2014, and outside of that one, any newer than 2006, but family safety needs may lea

It's amusing that changing the altitude scale doesn't reset the "trails" -- when I dragged it around quickly (on mobile) it left vertical streaks behind all the in-flight planes

The nice thing about the Java base here was that instead of trying to solve problems with a mess of configuration, we could just write our own code plugging directly into / replacing parts of Keycloak. Definitely don't disagree w

I've used [Keycloak]( https://www.keycloak.org/ ) in the past for "open-source Auth0" -- though I'm not sure it has ever described itself that way. Keycloak ended up being quite extensible and powerful, bu

This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it may fit the use case. I've recently been replacing some of the wiring in my house as part of a renovation, and I discovered that Leviton sells outlets with PD USB-C built in

Exactly, but that is my point: usually my data is not intended to reflect the time it is in New York. Being tied to a (semi-)arbitrary city changes the actual meaning of the zone slightly. If every city was represented and I could choose

I'm still not totally sure why these names were deprecated in the first place... I mean, the folks who run the tz db definitely know what they're doing, it just never 100% clicked with my thinking. I always prefer `US/Eastern

This looks great! My favorite projects posted on HN are the ones that come out of folks scratching their own personal itches. Like you, I have a bunch of books on various bookshelves in the house. I also have a number of collapsing cardbo

I recently got hit with $700 of tariffs on electronics, just as a consumer. It's definitely real and very annoying -- and as a consumer, visibility into it is extremely low, which makes it even worse. Long story incoming (blog post ca

Missed opportunity to call it octarine... Neat to see potential uses to help with colorblindness, but I wonder if this would ever also just become an attraction people could view just for the novelty. I'd love to try it out!
