Via this How can I visit 'Null Island'? thread [0] I discovered the Confluence project [1] which seems to be web 1.0 at its best.

Thanks Dan, glad to hear it is useful. Mudmap looks very cool!

Yeah, all links come from HN (I use the API to pull them into my tool). I'm not just grabbing the highest voted items though, but rather a mix. Basically I'm taking the ~1500 posts that got at least 5 votes and picking ~70 for each issue. If you saw all 70 of those then you're on HN all the time and it probably isn't much use to you.

I started Hacker Newsletter [1] almost 14 years ago and sent out the 647th issue today [2] to 58k folks. It took over a year to break 1k subscribers and a few more years to get to that type of revenue. I could do a lot more with it and plan to one day, but really only focus on it a couple hours each week when I build the issue and talk to sponsors.

Nice job with this! I love the clean/minimum interface. It doesn't seem to chime or notify when done? How do you use it to know when time has run out?

One thing I've wanted from a pomo timer is a simple way to mark the number of distractions I've had.

Thanks for the mention! It'll be 13 years this year... which is hard to believe.

Or is it Carp?

Yeah, I now realize I was commenting on the wrong thing... but I was talking the expansion cards themselves. They're 8g. I'm totally fine with whatever the laptop costs to ship, but I'm not a fan of the Marketplace shipping fees.

Does it really cost you $9 to ship one of these? It is probably Amazon's fault, but it just kills me to pay that much for shipping (although I'm fine w/ paying some reasonable amount for shipping).

Is there any data about downsizing? It almost seems impossible to do at some level (and I'm sure depending on the area) because of an extremely short supply of smaller houses these days. I could be wrong, but this seems like the last area to cut expenses on for most families.

Thanks - looking into that!

Thanks for the mention - that would be my project! I just hit 12 years of running it.

I would say it isn't a stretch at all to say most people feel that way. I stopped including any Medium hosted articles in my HN newsletter b/c of complaints from lots of subscribers that they couldn't read them.

I'll have to dig up my analysis I did last year (using BigQuery HN data), but on HN there are more Medium links than ever, but they tend not to get voted on at the same rate as older stories which tells me at least for the HN crowd it isn't worth clicking on them.

It almost seems like tattooing "NOT THIS LEG" would be a safer move.

You probably don't have kids, but that isn't an autocorrect fail!

Just to add to this great recommendation, https://p5js.org/ (JS port of Processing) is really great as they can get started right away and the docs are super simple. Dan uses it in most of his videos and really starts at a basic level, but works up to really complex concepts as well. My kids are younger, but they like the graphical part of it way more than me showing them the terminal and Ruby.

I found this exchange super helpful in understanding what Radiopaper is: https://radiopaper.com/conversation/K5opCylqOizaZ0HQCB5Q/ots...

This feels like something that would be hard to get traction with, but hats off on trying to do something different and thinking through what social could be. Also, love the design and UX - great stuff!

> I have no idea why anyone would expect him specifically to be able to do it while no one else could

People said the exact same thing before Tesla and SpaceX.

Are you saying AirBnB fixed all this? I don't see them renting much in late October nor passing out candy.

Is there a video of them loading that truck onto the train? It seems like two ramps on both ends would make that easier and avoid what you pointed out.

I didn't think this would work... but then I solved it and now I think it could be fun. Looking forward to tomorrow's game!

A lot of people would find _any_ song by Eminem offensive.

> Spotify did not know what they would get with Rogan

I think this could be true and at the same time I think they might have even paid him more knowing what they know now.

Not the OP, but it could be very well inflating the costs elsewhere as well so you wouldn't be able to see differences across platforms.

I interviewed at Citrix 20+ years ago for my first SWE job out of college. The first phone interview went well, but on the second one I was surprised to find the interviewer was asking the exact same questions, word for word. After a couple of them I mentioned it, thinking maybe this was a mistake and the interviewer said that wasn't the case, and then proceeded to ask me the rest of the same questions. After I told them the answer to the next question before they asked it there was a real long pause on their side and then they asked the remaining questions in a different order. Needless to say I wasn't as excited about working there after that, but they never called me back either.

I think the other option is to just restrict the weight limit on these and change bus routes.

I would say all that is subjective regarding what they specified as "build quality". I'll add my own take to it - I got mine early last month and haven't noticed any of those. That said, I do think the battery is the weak spot, but I think part of that is on the OS side (I'm running Pop!OS).

Just did this with my 15yo today in Bellingham - it works!
