I got annoyed that my MacBook case would slightly buzz when plugged in, so I worked with a factory to make these grounded Apple adapters: https://www.amazon.com/Grounded-Duckhead-Apple-Mac-Adapter/d... They've been selling consistently to others annoyed by the problem or who want to ground their MacBook for other reasons.

Amazing! I feel the tinge on my left palm when it's plugged in. Bought.

Wow, search failed me. I did not see this. :(

well apparently neither did anyone else because out of more than 160 users that wrote comments only three!!! users were commenting on both submissions. (four if you count this post of mine now)

maybe this should be posted more often?

I have coded a tool to help record everything about your horses. I have coded it to be as flexible as possible, so it works for all breeds and all disciplines. I have collaborations with Racing Associations within Australia to provide the software to new owners of retired racehorses. I am trying to expand to the USA via Texas and to the UK this year. https://horserecords.info

Been living with horses for almost 20 years and I had no idea what an Agistment was (we call it "boarding" in the US). I took a quick look. Did not see medication records or required tests (Coggin's etc.), but that may be different from country to country.

You can record Medication as an Medication event type or a Veterinary event type.

For required tests - you can create a custom Event Type called 'Coggins' and record that. Or there is a genetic test result section under the horse that you can record info.

You can also upload document for the tests you are taking.

There is also a Medication Task List feature. If you have a lot of horses that need meds - this allows you to check them off each day as they are done.

I developed this feature earlier this month but haven't publicised it yet as it is still being tested by the user who requested it.

Happy to have a chat - particularly about what USA users are looking for - just email me via === support at horserecords.info ====

Cheers!

Serious question but does anyone get any value out of these threads? Most of the time it just devolves into hundreds of comments with links to random projects hoping to get traffic. I think to make it more worthwhile people posting here please write a little about your tech stack, why you made it, what are your struggles, and tips for other founders, etc.

Yes, these are some of my favorite threads on HN.

I know it grounds inside the brick but does the connector have a third pin?

During my previous job, when we were migrating to Kubernetes I couldn’t really find a GUI app that I liked, and most importantly, that could connect to multiple clusters simultaneously. We had 6 clusters and having to switch context constantly was annoying I ended up building one [1] to use myself, shared with a few people and they loved it. I asked if they’d pay for it and to my surprise, a lot of people said yes. I…

Thumbs up for "Not another Electron app"! And multiplatform. Coming from a very unreliable Lens, I'm looking forward to try out your app. Its already so speedy!!

Awesome! Glad to hear you liked it :)

I train LoRAs for diffusion models using collab. I've automated a good portion of it so I only have to deal with the customer saying yay or nay to a commission. The notebook I run takes a shared drive folder of pictures, or if a public figure... runs a crawler that grabs images from instagram and X. Run a face-scoring script that tosses out pictures with no faces, multiple faces, or non-target faces. Run the images t…

Can you share url? I'm interested in testing it out.
