    JobLens is cool! This past month we had the same idea -- it's been a fun project: https://hnjobs.u-turn.dev ChatGPT does an incredible job parsing, but then lots of effort goes int…

    When I saw the post about Foundation DB, I remembered the exact same demo running on a cluster of Raspberry Pi instances! Sadly, no memory of it on YouTube.

    From the blog post: > Interestingly, those who felt the greatest boost in mood also experienced the biggest drop in heart rate variability. A drop in HRV isn't generally good. So I…

    I don't think it's analogous to gittip where someone is attempting to send funds to a particular repository or organization, and, I assume, you don't know the status of your funds.…

    We support Java through a GitHub Action that generates a stackaid.json file that we consume with your first and second order dependencies. More details here: https://www.stackaid.u…

    No money goes to a repository that doesn't participate in StackAid. Whatever is allocated to them from a subscription, gets reallocated after a certain period of time. We are busy …

    I'm a bit alarmed. We have fruit, but not veg. Hopefully, vegetables are a good substitute for veg.
