I've been using https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding and highly recommend it.

Thanks for the HNL mention and nice job with The Gaming Pub!

Very rare in the PNW (or at least Washington) and Alaska. Thankful for that as the chances of a fire starting from them seems high. Last summer we only had one lighting "storm" which had a total two lighting strikes and one of them started a fire.

100% agree! We had moved to a smaller community in New England and was eating an early dinner when we got a single knock on the door. Before we could get up, the UPS driver opened our door to place the packages inside (and out of the snow). He waved and welcomed us and then off we went. It was a bit odd, but then we realized this was a special place that we would come to love and we did.

Looking at this the other day and found this helpful: https://www.pgpf.org/article/the-federal-government-has-borr...

I worked with a Canadian about 10 years ago that broke his arm while visiting family in Winnipeg during Christmas. He waited 2 or maybe 3 full days to have it set and get a cast with no luck in seeing a doctor and finally drove across the border to have it done in the US. He was 60 or so and when he didn't even seem upset at that happening! That really opened my eyes on "free" healthcare.

Have you played Shapez? It is a simpler version of a factory game, but I really enjoy it and love the complexities of the shape stacking. It is on Steam or you can play for free here: https://dimava.github.io/shapez/modZ/

Do you know who Simon is?

So cool, glad you've liked it all these years.

Awesome, thanks for being a subscriber from the beginning, that is great to hear! Time flies!

Yeah, redoing this site is on my list.

Thanks for the kind words and being a subscriber!

Ha, good call.

Still running https://hackernewsletter.com/ after 15 years and 60k+ subscribers. It has been hard to put a lot of focus on it the past couple years, but been finally getting some time to spend on some improvements there. Income here has always been simple sponsors which I'm very grateful for.

Could it be an iPod Touch?

+1 how is this even possible to do?

I haven't really read the research, but yeah, I don't think texting is bad and as you mentioned, it really is helpful to keep connected with friends. The one thing we found though is texting didn't last too long as they moved on to different apps (like Snapchat). I hope your daughter and friends can resist that change and just stick with simpler things like texting and FaceTime.

Except, I don't think wood would be any better as you still have to worry about how it was sourced and made to make sure nothing was added to it, right? I see a lot of people using bamboo for example. The only really safe alternative is stainless if you want to avoid thinking about it again.

The title should of been 2004 - we have too many photos in 2024.

> They’re often polished, curated, and tailored to tick boxes rather than showcase genuine skills.

I look at a lot of resumes and would say most aren't well polished or curated. They often don't showcase skills either, but it is surprising how bad resumes still are today.

Just to add, they have a really great archive site: https://classic.esquire.com/

Looks interesting, but I would say a limited free demo is going to be key for any chance of adoption here.

I think most people using this rule are using a standard rice cooker and they are all roughly the same size. The measurement is from where the rice is, not the bottom of the pot. In terms of the ratio, we use equal parts water and rice, plus one additional cup of water.

I can assure you that they weren't more cautious back then, but rather they just knew the dangers and accepted them.

I thought this was an interesting and very related read that touches on voting controls: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20020039704/downloads/20...
