To be clear - I didn't create this app, but I do think it's cool that good open source alternatives are emerging and felt like this might be interesting to the community

One of my Heroku apps is down, and seems to have gone down immediately after a scheduled daily restart. The others all work, and I can still access my database directly. Kinda fun …

This seems like a really big deal! It affects NextJS 15, even if the codebase isn't using Server Components, has a CVSS vulnerability score of 10/10, and there are known exploits i…

I would argue that you are still buying peace of mind by hosting on AWS, even when there are outages. This outage is front page news around the world, so it's not as much of a shoc…

It’s been repeated a lot in this discussion, but don’t loose hope. I had a very similar situation and for a while felt like I might not be able to keep living with this condition. …

I’ve also noticed that younger people seem to wear earplugs at concerts a lot more often. I get the feeling there’s been a change in attitude towards hearing protection. My guess i…

Thanks! My brother and I are quite touched by the reaction in this thread. I will see what I can do about this - if not as a product, then by sharing a little more about what we ha…

As my brother said, this is a really tricky area for us to explore for non-technical reasons. We go back and fourth on this, as I do believe my grandmother's quality of life would …

Hi unixhero! We forward all calls to our home number to a Twilio number. We then use Twilio studio to forward calls from my grandmother to a web-based call handler that we created,…

pigcat's brother here :) In our case, my grandmother always calls my parents home phone number. The phone provider only offers simple call forwarding, so we route all calls to the …

Congratulations on creating trailrouter! This is one of the most unique and useful side projects I’ve seen in quite a while. I had a lot of fun looking at the various suggestions i…

I’m in a very similar situation with the OP-Z! No musical background, bought it because I was curious about the UI. I find myself getting sucked into it for hours at a time, even t…

Modern F1 drivers are now navigating complex multi-level menu systems on their steering wheels with one hand while turning with the other, so I would argue that this talent is stil…

I agree with your point in theory, but it’s somewhat ironic that the Oslo bike share you link to is closed for the season. There are ways to move around without cars, but it become…

Wise of you to bring that up, but I feel you might be overplaying the slight. It's a direct quote from a book, so I'd be more angry at the author in this case. Still, good thing to…

A USB-C port will just barely power a 4K display at 60hz on its own. There's no way to get two 4k displays, USB, and power delivery without the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 3

To quote the person you just replied to: "I already know the friend who will come to me tomorrow that his HTC has and 8 core processor while Apple has only six. The point is: it is…

Funnily enough, I tend to get the opposite reaction. Have has some pretty miserable treatment from Canadian border guards at the Peace Arch crossing, but never the same from their …

Hans Zimmer has one of the coolest office spaces I've ever seen. Talk about a place for creativity!

It might make sense if they assumed that they'd be successful. If the press spends all their time talking about how Uber is flaunting the rules by putting out a self driving car in…

I'm assuming you are talking about US election topics? Please keep in mind that the readership of Hacker News covers a much larger base than the United States. Technology is not bo…

The hot-swappable drone battery video is cool enough to be its own Shown HN submission. Would it be hard for the drone to be able to seamlessly switch between indoor/lighthouse tra…
