A few times I've contacted people who posted an interesting Show HN and it often led to interesting conversations. I've also found multiple roles through "Who's Hiring" threads ove…

I'm honestly surprised how controversial this sub thread became. To put it to rest -- this is indeed correct. I commented on the roof rule but didn't link to the code of conduct be…

I like the definition of social rules [0]. I also wonder whether the roof rule was written preemptively or retrospectively -- I hope the former. I have my own thanks to give to HN.…

I love it. For years with my old dog I would give him a binary choice between two treats and intuitively got a sense of his favorites as well. More satisfying to me was giving him …

A friendly reminder to any Claude subscribers, that you were probably auto-opted-in to "Extra Usage". You can disable it on the "Usage" page [0] before getting a bill for "extra" u…

Disappointing. I built a lovely little Nanoclaw bot that's been surprisingly helpful at raising a puppy. I haven't gotten this email, so I wonder if my usage is too low to catch th…

I set one up to have a shared chat with my partner about our dog. E.g. schedule reminders, tracking food in a spreadsheet, etc.

I share this worry. You can configure the storage template for the photos and include an "album" part, so if a photo is in some album it'll get sorted into that folder. Then the fi…

Ente looks interesting and worth looking into, thanks for mentioning it. In the context of having a phone stolen, it's possible to at least limit the damage and revoke accesses via…

Very nice the author uses tailscale serve! It's an underrated, and unfortunately under documented, way to host a web service directly to Tailscale. With that you can run a docker c…

Also it has a very rich ACL system. The Immich node can be locked out from accessing any other node in the network, but other nodes can be allowed to access it.

The sync really is quite good. On wifi it's basically seamless. If I had 30k new images though it would be much faster to use the immich-go tool mentioned in the blog post. Offline…

I have the main volume for images in a zpool with two SSDs in a raid-1 configuration. I also have a daily cronjob that makes an encrypted off-site backup with Borg. I've also got h…

I think it's of course not so simple, and the abstract of the paper they refer to [0] seems to contradict the Business Insider article. Sure, inflation adjusted median income is up…

I've used probably 15 or 20 web browsers in my lifetime and all of them had the same barely searchable table of URLs as their only history view. Why couldn't we have full text sear…

I think it's about improving the turnaround on planes. When a plane lands, the crew has to get everyone out, clean the cabin, then get the next flight's passengers in -- all as qui…

I can imagine the large scale web scrapers just avoid processing comments entirely, so while they may unzip the bomb it could be they just discard the chunks that are inside of a c…

I have a memorable reverse geocoding story. I was working with a team that was wrapping up a period of many different projects (including a reverse geocoding service) and adopting …

Depressing politics aside, I'm curious about how this affects the long term usability of the telescope. I guess as long as the orbit is sustained and it doesn't suffer physical dam…

Silent Movie (1976). https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0075222/ Very much a comedy of the 70s rather than an earnest silent film from the 20s/30s. It's a silent movie about making a silen…

I did hundreds of interviews for a former employer (10k+ employees) and developed a fondness for in-person coding interviews. In particular I would tell the candidate up front that…

Years ago my tax return was flagged as a possible fraud case -- I believe a direct consequence of a big data breach. I had to go into my "local" IRS office and present my passport …

Entirely possible. I did not try to test systematically or quantitatively, but it's been a recurring easy "demo" case I've used with releases since 3.5-turbo. The super verbose cha…
