I've been using the "surprise me..." feature on https://wiby.org as a sort of small-web/indie-web StumbleUpon lately.

Location: Augusta, GA, USA Remote: open to remote or in office (depending on location) Willing to relocate: hoping to, especially to Ireland or other EU/Schengen but need visa Tech…

This is really cool. It's little things like this that keep me coming back to HN. I can't justify the cost of Kagi yet based on my current use, but I'm glad that people are out the…

There are a few types of toys that my wife and I are still ok with getting and Lego is one of them. She's started using the phrase "more really is more" to describe the category. B…

Yes! I've run out of ways to tell MY parents not to get toys for my kids for Christmas/birthdays. I can ask directly for no physical things; I can suggest tickets to shows or evens…

Funny to me that how... #00FF00 is Lime... what we actually refer as Green in daily life is close to #008000 And that "limegreen" (#32CD32) is a third, distinct color name.

Yeah, I'm 34, and they gave me an On-X valve which seems to be the most current tech in use on the mechanical valve market. The most urgent need was actually to remodel my ascendin…

I'm 34. I never experienced any symptoms as far as I was aware although they include things like fatigue, so was that my BAV or just the fact that I've just had a long, active day?…

I'm a little over 2 months post-op after replacing my bicuspid aortic valve (more common and not as serious as what these four kids have). Growing up, I always enjoyed seeing the E…

Classification of musical instruments into these sorts of categories gets tricky in some areas (especially with regard to percussion). Really, the percussion and keyboard categorie…

This is actually the biggest problem with my current home printer. My wife or I will print something after installing brand new ink cartridges. Then a month or two later, we try to…

My wife is a quilter and has mentioned the same thing. It's hard to sell a bed-sized quilt for $1200+ when people don't understand the work that goes into it (and even the material…

I've had to put my side gig (building guitars) on hold. My wife and I both have day jobs, and we have a two year old. We take turns working and parenting, and it's not unusual for …

https://www.simplypsychology.org/pavlov.html The concept of (consumer-grade?) permanent data storage triggers some response from him.

The article states that the museum is in a town of a little over 4,000 people. My guess is there was simply never the right combination of interest, knowledge, and resources availa…

The version of Firefox I'm on right now does. Most of the current URL is a light gray, while the "ycombinator.com" portion is white which gives much more contrast against the dark …

When did support for the APUs get added to the kernel? My wife got fed up with Windows a couple of years ago, and I tried to set up a dual boot on her HP laptop, but Ubuntu wouldn'…

"edge to edge" is definitely a stretch . Ha!
