Haha that’s funny, yeah! Yours looks pretty interesting too, I’ll check it out in more detail later!

Mine’s also done in go — link to my blog is on my profile, and here’s the generator if you’re curious: https://github.com/jacobkania/mmssg

This really hit me — I spent a long time (several iterations) designing my perfect blogging static site generator, and wrote a few posts about my journey of creating the tool. Afte…

I had this problem too, so I don’t have any of my normal letter keys as dual-function. The pointer-finger vertical-middle keys that they default to Hyper and Meh, I changed those t…

You’re misunderstanding your cookie analogy. You can’t copyright a single recipe that contains components of other recipes, but if you had written a book titled “My grandmas chocol…

It’s actually not an anonymous account, I just can’t find the links anywhere for creating a community! I did just edit the above post to say that I figured out that you must follow…

Hey! I made an account — this seems like an awesome idea, and I really like your vision. It seems like this format will really appeal to hacker-types with the idea for eventual fed…

I totally get your point, but if an established tenant with a previously successful business cannot afford rent, then who could? It seems more like “well nobody is going to be able…

You keep saying this, but is the value of the property not what someone is willing to pay for it? If nobody can/will pay rent, the property is worthless. The risk you take on as a …

I went for an ergodox when covid WFH started, to prioritize ergonomics... Loved it so much that I got the hotdox kit from Alpaca to build a second one with better switches (I went …

I firmly believe that if you have enough people who think it’s important enough to block traffic to make a point — if their belief is that aliens are coming to destroy earth — they…

But if ‘personal tragedies’ make up a quarter of your country’s population, it starts to look more like a whole-economy issue, right?

Does that include phone payments at all? Because it sounds like you’re getting a not so great deal. I’m also in the US and pay that much for unlimited everything on 2 phones

I agree in some cases that the open source alternatives aren’t good enough, so I’ve done a mix of using things on this list, and switching to Apple alternatives (when needed). Got …

If you already signed a lease, you don’t have to agree to new terms for that lease. It’s already a valid lease that can’t easily be terminated, and Michigan has pretty good renter …

That’s likely for the mobile version only, not the desktop version

Hey! Awesome that you updated it! Thanks for all of your blog posts. You’re one of a few go-to blogs when I want inspiration on new things to learn. I even used your website design…

This was fascinating to read, thanks for sharing! I hadn’t thought about how much harder it would be to create life out of other elements due to chemistry. Had previously believed …

If you’re sure you can make $100m on your idea, it should be easy to find an investor to give you $2m. If you can’t find an investor to give you that much, maybe your idea is riski…

I’ve heard this idea before on HN in regards to reforming patent law also. I LOVE this idea. Pay a small tax on the stated value, but also allow others to buy rights at that stated…

Question though: would companies just move to Brazil, which doesn’t have UBI, and save all of the money from the now-even-more-expensive American workers? Maybe not immediately, if…

Don’t forget that $1T of that total $4T is just spent on social security — this could potentially replace social security, so that number could go towards UBI instead I’m not sold …

I’m a big REI fan. I’m not one of those people who hikes every week or anything, but I like to go backpacking and hiking when I can. I also have met lots of people who do the same,…
