hstaab··on Ask HN: What is a purchase that made you happy?
This saw is indeed awesome. I picked up a Festool Kapex for $900 just before finding out about these; it’s not even close.
hstaab··on Twitter’s new CEO is taking ‘a few weeks’ of parental leave
Good for him. I wish more Americans valued time with their little ones enough to make this (relatively small) career sacrifice. I realize this is a luxury, though it’s one we ought to try for.

I can’t imagine more parental time being bad for a nation.

hstaab··on The Chess Match That Led the Feds to $3.6B in Stolen Bitcoin
If I’m understanding correctly, the thief kept all addresses and their keys in something like Google Drive and the US gov simply reached in and took them.

Pro tip: it’s a bad idea to keep anything in cloud storage you wouldn’t mind sharing with the Feds

hstaab··on Ask HN: What is your preferred “full-stack in a box” solution and why?
How do you access SQLite? I’d love a “pure” go way to do so
hstaab··on Free Postgres databases for small projects
Recently, I gave Fly an honest go for a new multi-container project that seemed like a good fit. After digging in, I found that the pg clusters had some sort of system wide bug and couldn’t be attached to any of my apps.

It was a bummer. Everything seemed great, I just literally couldn’t use it.

I’d love to hear others experiences with the PG features. I could see it replacing Digital ocean for my use cases (if it works reliably)

hstaab··on Ask HN: Which websites/blogs do you visit which makes you happy?
https://100r.co are some really great folks
hstaab··on Japan's Paper Culture
I often want to reteach myself handwriting to be able to write like this. Has anyone here had success in doing this? How did you go about it?
hstaab··on How a hypermedia approach can address usability concerns with multi-page apps
Can anyone recommend a good resource for comparing htmx with alpinejs? I’ve seen them both mentioned here but their differences are not clear to me.
hstaab··on Ask HN: Where are you getting your money's worth?
Not a service

My Fujifilm x100v (or most of the previous x100 models), it’s been a fantastic family camera. I try to just leave it around the house for moments with the kids.

The coloring is superb and makes it seem like I know what I’m doing when I certainly do not.

hstaab··on Reflections on E-Bikes
Just here to point out the bike carrying “Air Conditioners” is actually carrying carpentry tools.

Sort of funny if you know the Festool brand as they’re considered very premium.

hstaab··on Apple is ready to admit it was wrong about the future of laptops
I prefer physical mediums to sending data over the network. Especially when there are no benefits in doing so.
hstaab··on Suggest to HN: Categories
Personally, I like the fact HN does not have categories or tags. A simple list of stories keeps me curious.
hstaab··on Fly’s Prometheus Metrics
Does anyone here have experience using Fly? I’ve seen a few of their posts and it seems quite nice.
hstaab··on Sail-pro – Simulation and modelling environment for virtual sailing
The author has some other really interesting projects as well. I encourage you to checkout their GitHub page.
hstaab··on Show HN: Signed Work – NFTs, without a blockchain
Awesome idea, really. I just wish it wasn’t centered around Twitter.
hstaab··on 30k Hours (2019)
You must write your own lisp, and that’s the beauty of it.
hstaab··on Shakti k executable is 140 KB (0 libraries)
This looks fascinating. Does anyone know much about it? The documentation is somewhat Spartan.
hstaab··on Show HN: Homelab – self-hosted website about my Homelab
This website is being served from said setup, no? I think that constitutes “trying it out”.
hstaab··on Coffee Rust
I swore this was going to be about some CoffeeScript + Rust monstrosity
hstaab··on Firefox makes this color ugly
So, on both my colleagues iMac and mine, they look very very different, however viewing the Imgur on my iPhone 8, I see no difference.

Strange

hstaab··on Firefox makes this color ugly
It’s the same for my friend and I.

hstaab··on Herman Cain's verified twitter account shares posthumous attack on Biden/Harris
Why is this on HN?
hstaab··on Americans Aren’t Making Babies, and That’s Bad for the Economy
Thanks! It’s a first for me. Nothing better.
hstaab··on Americans Aren’t Making Babies, and That’s Bad for the Economy
Speak for yourself, I made one this year. For the economy of course.
hstaab··on Ex-Solus Dev Is Creating a Truly Modern Linux Distribution
Awesome goals, though I don’t love the name. But of course that’s just my opinion.
hstaab··on Tiny websites are great
Thanks for sharing SDF, I hadn’t heard of it. Seems really cool
hstaab··on A Regular Expression Matcher (2007)
I saw this in the repo of single file language implementations that was posted yesterday. Glad to see it on the front page now.

Here’s the repo if anyone is interested in checking out the others:

hstaab··on Firefox 73
I switched to Firefox Dev Edition last year and havnt gone back since. It really does have a noticeably smoother feel to it. I do miss certain Chrome dev tools such as Lighthouse, however its not a difficult transition at all.

I hope more people take the leap.

hstaab··on How did TikTok get so popular?
I wouldn't have thought it would gain that sort of traction..
