snoopy_telex··on Ask HN: Are we all burned out?
I really fell this right now. I'm totally burnt out. I accepted a fully remote role a year and some ago and I realize that it was a mistake. I really need the time with people face to face, not for my work efficiency, but for my happiness.

I'm looking for a new opportunity that has a hybrid or in-person aspect and I'm hoping the change would start to spin that positive fly-wheel.

snoopy_telex··on Show HN: Earn 9.62% on US Treasury I Bonds on Yotta
Can you explain where you think the math error is on https://www.treasurydirect.gov/savings-bonds/i-bonds/i-bonds... under the “ An example” section?

My god! That's what happened? I was sure my memory was super faulty. The new recipe is terrible!
snoopy_telex··on Show HN: Earn 9.62% on US Treasury I Bonds on Yotta
If I made a mistake in entering my info into Yotta, how are you going to correct it without me going though the TD medallion process?
snoopy_telex··on Show HN: Earn 9.62% on US Treasury I Bonds on Yotta
Check "Current composite rates" on https://www.treasurydirect.gov/savings-bonds/i-bonds/i-bonds...

The current rate of 9.62% is the lowest it's ever been, and its never changed drastically.

It's just FUD to claim that it'll drop to 3%.

Also, you're locked in, you can't touch the money for a year, and there's a penalty for withdraw before year 5. It's designed as a safe saving instrument, not a stock market replacement.

I, for one, am glad to have invested every year. It's a nice emergency fund.

snoopy_telex··on BliKVM PCIe puts a computer in your computer
I would love to see it have an option to expose the USB HID and HDMI over the pci link rather than having to loop cables between the card and the host.

I'm looking to make the jump from FAANG to exactly what you're describing. How do I find one? They don't seem to be easily found on LinkedIn or hacker news jobs boards.

snoopy_telex··on Emergency SOS via satellite is included for free with iPhone 14 Pro for 2 years
For the first 10 months in 2020, the Adirondacks had 245 search and rescue events[1] and it's a fairly small park nationally. This could save a huge amount of park service resources if they could be given the GPS cords to go directly to rather then spend hours searching. Expand that nation wide, it's a huge public win, and a great safety benefit to the individuals to be able to get help as soon as possible if something happens.

I was unable to find nation wide stats on search and rescue events.

snoopy_telex··on 1Password delisting forum posts critical of their new Electron based 1Password 8
I went through the process evaluating Bitwarden recently. It's a shame but it's many years behind 1Password and their roadmap doesn't really appear... hopeful towards catching up.

I'm waiting for someone to actually build a better 1Password, learning from the mistakes, rather then migrating to something else right now.

So last created layer wins the display? or can you indicate priority via css?

Maybe https://www.vagrantup.com would be a better solution then vanilla docker
snoopy_telex··on HBO Max pulls nearly 200 ‘Sesame Street’ episodes
HBO Max has been dropping content ever sense the Warner merge. I totally believe the plan is to kill it and move everything to a discovery+ combined platform.
snoopy_telex··on AWS switch from gzip to zstd – about 30% reduction in compressed S3 storage
They do not. It would be difficult to plan correctly if your free disk space is… variable.

Example:

You have an existing 40 gigabyte file

It happened to compress well

You delete it and your free disk space goes up by 4 gigabytes.

You then write a new 40 gigabyte file that doesn’t compress well

Replacing an existing file of the same size just ate an extra 36 gigabytes.

How would you plan around that? SSDs should store the bytes given and don’t play fancy games.

snoopy_telex··on Zuckerberg backtracks after Horizon Worlds backlash, claims Meta is 'much more’
The improved screen shots are improved, but not anything I would call impressive
snoopy_telex··on Ask HN: Why is there no performant remote desktop for Mac/Linux?
Which app is this? I’ve checked the box in sharing for screen sharing and it’s just using vnc. Is there a different one hidden somewhere?
snoopy_telex··on Ask HN: Shut down a startup despite strong traction?
You posted 10 days ago that your startup has failed. What has changed?
snoopy_telex··on Ask HN: Is RSS dying? Or coming back?
RSS is s data interchange standard. "subscriptions, progress, already-read, or any other kind of state across apps" is well out of scope of a data interchange format.

You may claim that the data interchange format is useless without those features being implemented on the app side, however it doesn't mean the data interchange format is flawed.

That said, pretty much any RSS app does what you describe. I use Feedly across many devices, and it's all synced. The other primary RSS powered app I use is Apple Podcasts which also syncs those states between all my devices.

Feeds being "public" isn't an issue. I pay for many feeds provided by creators on patreon. These are behind token based auth. I also have a few completely custom feeds that are behind http basic auth and generate on demand completely custom content.

Monetization for public feeds also doesn't seem like an issue. I get ads embedded into some feeds, and others like Ars just do snippets and I click though to the main site and see the ads there.

Why would crypto help at all here?

snoopy_telex··on Ask HN: Is RSS dying? Or coming back?
What do you believe is missing?

RSS is xml. It supports xml namespaces for extensions.

Did you know that podcast feeds are RSS feeds plus a xml namespace specific for podcasts?

snoopy_telex··on Ask HN: Is RSS dying? Or coming back?
I’m pretty sure there’s a few dozen to hundreds of rss libraries for any language you could want.

Wordpress provides RSS feeds out of the box without doing a thing. Static generators like Jekyll (GitHub uses) support generating RSS feeds as well.

It’s not an issue of this being difficult to implement. It’s been around for decades. It’s widely supported.

snoopy_telex··on List of Menu Items for all Food stores in USA (zipcode wise)
They include stores in my area, like rite-aid and Walgreens as well as grocery stores like Safeway.

There’s also entries for a place called “Pizza” that seems to be a combined menu of three local pizza places.

snoopy_telex··on Facebook gives data to Nebraska police prosecuting teenager for abortion
All it would take is for the user to use iCloud backups, which are enabled by default, for Apple to be able to hand over the users complete iMessage archive.

Apple has done a wonderful job marketing something that doesn’t Turkey exist.

snoopy_telex··on Show HN: Reciped.io Solving What's for Dinner?
Thank you for building this. It looks interesting :)

I have two things that I've always wished for in a recipe manager.

1. Using other recipes as an ingredient. If I have a kickass pie dough recipe that I use for multiple dishes, I'd like to just say, one unit of <pie dough recipe>

2. Alternatives collected. If I have a pancake recipe, having alternatives like "With blueberries" and "With chocolate chips" and what not be... related, would be awesome.
