_HMCB_··on I use cheap notebooks
My fave notebook (amazing quality paper) while not crossing over into expensive (for me): https://www.amazon.com/Maruman-Hardcover-Executive-Notebook-...

Pair it with my fave pen: https://www.jetpens.com/Zebra-Sarasa-Clip-Gel-Pen-0.7-mm-Blu...

Is Top Score highest everyone has gotten because I just got 3063 which shows top.

Looks like a city from overhead. Amazing.
_HMCB_··on Federal judge overrules NIH veterinarians about lab chimp retirement
This is a perfect example of where thorough reading (not the first few paragraphs only) sheds light on the matter. Two ears and one mouth.

Awesome suggestions. Pretty incredble I must say!
_HMCB_··on Blockbench – A low-poly 3D model editor
I wholeheartedly approve.
_HMCB_··on Mastering Stratego
I played it too. My goodness what a blast from the past. To be honest, none of my friends liked to play. I mostly played by myself it seems. LOL.
_HMCB_··on A collection of 88x31 pixel web buttons from the 1990s and 2000s
All those buttons and it still doesn’t make my browser choke like many of today’s single web pages do.
_HMCB_··on Show HN: WebStickies – Sticky notes for the internet
This is very cool. Thank you.

I use Apple’s Quick Notes in a similar fashion. It lets you highlight text in a web page and by choosing Create Quick Note, it will highlight the passage and next time you visit the site, a small modal appears in the bottom right of the page as you scroll by the annotation. Click the mini modal and Safari jumps you to the spot on the page. And what’s nice is everything is stored in Apple Notes so you can always save it elsewhere.

_HMCB_··on Photography for geeks
I bought that book months back. Have yet to read it but thanks for the reminder.
_HMCB_··on Zero Trust Strategy and Roadmap
Didn’t know much about Zero Trust. This article was helpful: https://www.csoonline.com/article/3247848/what-is-zero-trust...
_HMCB_··on Tea: A new package manager from the creator of brew
I, for one, appreciate Homebrew. It’s the first thing I install on a fresh OS. Thanks for keeping it alive.
_HMCB_··on Creator of Homebrew launches new package manager - Tea
I jumped all over this but hit a brick wall in set-up when required to have a crypto wallet. Ugh :( no thanks. I’m not the market for this.
_HMCB_··on Open Library
Oh, didn’t know it existed. I’ll have to download it and report back. Thanks.
_HMCB_··on Tree views in CSS
Best post this week on HN. Love it.
_HMCB_··on Open Library
Unfortunately the reading experience is so so. But hey, I’m grateful.
_HMCB_··on nvALT 2 (2021)
Bear app is super fast. Supports Markdown. And is beautiful to look at. Bear 2 is looking even better.
_HMCB_··on nvALT 2 (2021)
Same. Just signed up for the newsletter and it reminded me I’d already signed up. But come to think of it, that was years ago :(
_HMCB_··on Classic 50mm “Normal” Lens
Nice! I had a couple of the older Nikon lenses. A few were manual and one was auto focus. I’ll have to keep the vintage 1.4 in mind. Thanks!
_HMCB_··on Towns are testing new ballot counting machines that use open source software
In the end, a certain segment (and growing) will still say elections are rigged. “Transparency“ will be meaningless going forward; even after a code audit. The allegations: Someone intercepted the count in those few milliseconds after the voter submits; Someone siphoned votes away after the fact.
_HMCB_··on Show HN: A tool to help you remember shit you are interested in
If data is stored locally, why would FAQs state that once it becomes non-Freemium, they won’t lock you out of your notes. Shouldn’t that be a given?
_HMCB_··on NASA finds super-emitters of methane
But is the world going to do anything about those spots?
_HMCB_··on Classic 50mm “Normal” Lens
Yep. The Nikon 50mm 1.8 is such a steal and provides for amazing photos.
_HMCB_··on Classic 50mm “Normal” Lens
I very much agree with this article. As someone relatively new to photography (less than four years), prime lenses have allowed me better quality for less money with a wider variation of lenses/applications. 20mm for architecture and interiors; 50mm for street or environmental portraits; 85mm for beautiful rather close-up portraits; 105mm macro for product shots and mid-range portraits.
_HMCB_··on P5.js – A library to make coding accessible for artists, designers, educators
Whoa! Awesome. Thank you.
_HMCB_··on “Skimpflation” is hitting everything from food to hotels
LOL. My thinking is that they’re purposely making in-store visits shorter and less appealing.
