painted··on Show HN: 18yo first iOS app: blocks distracting apps and unlocks with QR/barcode
and it's free, with more features too
painted··on Continuous Glucose Monitoring
until you realize the sugar is also bad for your teeth, for example
painted··on Ask HN: How do you manage your reading list?
interesting, thanks for the link, but it doesn't look like a good solution for mobile, seems to be desktop oriented
painted··on Books: an immutable double-entry accounting database service
do you also have some kind of frontend for it? how do you see what's the flow of money and reporting? does it work with kibana out of the box?
painted··on Show HN: I Built a “Google Alerts” for Hacker News
also interesting: https://github.com/lrusnac/hn-notifier
painted··on Quiet Hacker News (2017)
I found this small script quite useful https://github.com/lrusnac/hn-notifier
painted··on The Amazing $1 Microcontroller (2017)
I prefer having the REST API running on a raspberry pi or a local server, that can proxy things to Google Cloud and back, just because in case something happens to the internet connection, your house is bricked, by having a local instance your system does not rely on your ISP for speed and availability.

I'd be curious of how do you update these devices, did you get OTA to work through an nRF24? did you need some external eeprom for that?

painted··on Bitcoin: Chainalysis Raises $16M, Plans to Track 10 More Cryptocurrencies
What do you think?
painted··on CryptoKitties: breedable cats on the blockchain – ETHWaterloo winner
I agree, and I think the author should write a blog-post/tutorial about it, it might be useful for a lot of people that are looking into blockchain/ethereum/solidity, me being one of them.
painted··on Mailspring: A fork of Nylas Mail by one of the original authors
The RAM and CPU usage is interesting, I think most of the people hate electron apps for their thirst of resources. Just by looking at the activity monitor I'm curious what's the emptyWindow process.
painted··on Show HN: Using LDA to suggest GitHub repositories based on what you have starred
sorry, I missed that
painted··on Show HN: Using LDA to suggest GitHub repositories based on what you have starred
looks like the code for this is here: https://github.com/csurfer/gitsuggest
painted··on Show HN: Using LDA to suggest GitHub repositories based on what you have starred
I guess, if you have a fair amount of topics, although the point was to explain the title :)
painted··on Show HN: Using LDA to suggest GitHub repositories based on what you have starred
no, it's not
painted··on Show HN: Using LDA to suggest GitHub repositories based on what you have starred
Your point is quite interesting although I'm not sure running LDA on the entire code would be useful. I spent half a year writing my postgraduate thesis on a recommender systems for streaming services based on LDA, in particular we wanted to infer who is watching what and when in a shared account. From all the tests I did with LDA I believe the best thing would be to run it on the README files.
painted··on Go reliability and durability at Dropbox
Rust is great, but to be honest, Rust's learning curve is way steeper than GO's. And this may slow down the Rust's domination.
painted··on Firefly – An open-source $5 DIY hardware wallet
well: arduino [1]: 1.38$ nrf [2]: 0.55$ oled [3]: 2.33$ ------------------ total: 4.26$

like you said the passive components are pretty cheap, and you stay under 5$.

painted··on Ask HN: What are your favorite podcasts?
it's my current favourite :)
painted··on Show HN: I built a database of tech conferences to know what to attend to next
It would be very cool to search for "Europe" for instance. The weird thing is that it suggests it but the search does not work :(
painted··on Pass: A standard Unix password manager
yes, I saw this for pass, but I was referring to his setup where he uses ctmg also
painted··on Pass: A standard Unix password manager
looks like a nice setup, but what about mobile?
painted··on Pass: A standard Unix password manager
typically the hashes are represented as a sequence of hexadecimal digits, just as an example md5 and sha265
painted··on Pass: A standard Unix password manager
so you know and trust every piece of software that is running on your machine?
painted··on Pass: A standard Unix password manager
What about websites that require to have special characters in your password, since the hash is just HEX? What about multiple accounts on the same website, same password?
painted··on Pass: A standard Unix password manager
Things like dropbox should be perfect for this, since the files are encrypted you don't need to trust anybody
painted··on Pass: A standard Unix password manager
to be honest, I can trust myself with clipboard but not what is running on my machine.
painted··on Pass: A standard Unix password manager
there are so many clipboard listeners out there :D so the fact that you clear the clipboard doesn't really matter
painted··on Pass: A standard Unix password manager
yeah, from a security point of view it's similar to have one file or multiple ones encrypted with the same key
painted··on Intern Impact: Brotli compression for Play Store app downloads
So she used a compression algorithm developed by other googlers? So what?

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure she did a lot of work for it, but looks like a lot of people would have been able to do that, there is nothing innovative in what she did, right?

painted··on Nylas Mail is now free
what is the reason of all this energy usage? It uses more resources than Chrome: https://i.imgur.com/uTjinwO.png
