    Yeah, enough people say this that I avoid taking creatine knowing I have the genetic predisposition for male pattern baldness, despite the lack of solid evidence. Although OP's pos…

    Interesting that everybody knows when AWS goes down but Azure needs a "Tell HN" :) Best of luck to the teams responding to this incident.

    You've audited the Cursor codebase then? Along with every other tool you use?

    Part time work is possible. I initially dropped to 4 days/week in lieu of a payrise (comp remained the same). Did that for a while and since then I've been working 2-4 days/week (3…

    Interestingly everybody replying to this is saying they spend ~8 hours in bed, which most certainly means they aren't getting 8 hours of sleep :)

    Maybe look into a Whoop device. Their business model is unique in the space as it's a subscription, but the tracker itself is solid, has no screen and can be worn a number of ways …

    Psychological safety is what allows people to exchange ideas and be wrong without fear of it being used against them

    I agree with the off-white/black reducing eye strain but HN is not a good example of readability in any way!

    Wanted to add that according to the article, these checks will be required for all content, not just adult content.

    I would guess it's more expensive than generating certs - all those ID verification "AI" services use teams of people as a fallback from what I know

    This seems to be a very common misconception, but the cookie consent dialogues are not part of GDPR.

    Yeah, I'd like to know how it's spotting these fires

    We do but it's not fully automated just yet, it'd involve sending us an email. Similar story with csv imports, it's half supported but not in the UI yet.

    We're making about $600/mo right now working on Oku, which we're building as a social book tracker (and more) and hoping to replace Goodreads with. https://oku.club Here's my profi…

    Yeah, anecdotally it seems more like poor sleep and dehydration than withdrawals after a single night of drinking.

    I mean it's relatively simple still, mainly book tracking/collecting/reviewing with a slick UI & activity feed. But we have a lot of plans and fostering something more meaningful t…

    I do like the approach of personal recommendations over algorithmic. It's just inherently more meaningful if it's from a person you trust or somebody that knows what you're into. W…

    I enjoyed the article. I do think the author should take up photography though, if only to give those aimless walks a purpose :)
