alihmon Globalization did not hollow out the American middle class

I think you nailed it, but in addition to that I also think social media boosts the lives of few wealthy people and as a result others feel they don't have enough.

alihmon Study links sugar-filled drinks to millions of heart disease and diabetes cases

I found this unflavored protein powder rated very highly on consumer labs. Haven't bought it yet since I'm still going through my current optimum nutrition whey, but it's next on my list

alihmon Tell HN: I just updated my wife's Chrome, and uBlock is no longer supported

I'm not sure but a lot of people hypothesize that they will have to keep this feature for enterprise customers (not for UBO but other custom enterprise extensions that use manifest v2)

alihmon Ask HN: What skills do you want to develop or improve in 2025?

This year I got pretty consistent at strength training twice a week, a lot of times I'm dead and tired but I make sure I get to the gym and at least get one set of my workout done to (a) keep the routine going and (b) not be as sore the next time. I only train my whole body once a week, but I'm happy for now with that since I just don't have the stamina to push more without neglecting my life and hating the workout sessions.

For next year, I want to start taking actual meditation courses and build a regular habit to meditate before going to bed. On top of that, I want to also relax and unwind after work without being on my computer, phone, or the TV (it's ok to pick those things up later, but I just want to rest first without screens)

alihmon Nondominant hand computer mouse training (2021)

I've started to have neck and upper back pain on my right side likely due to the overstretched position of my right hand on the mouse. I been trying to let my left hand control the mouse for a couple of days to give some rest to the right side and was looking for some studies done on training the non-dominant hand. I found this article, would also love to know if others have done this or know of literature around it.

alihmon Show HN: YoLinks, a human-readable URL shortener for teams

Wow this is great. Every company that I've worked for had created their own implementation of this. It's great to know that such product exists for the small companies or the ones that don't have the in-house expertise.

Does it work with okta as well? or are you planning on adding support for it?
