stevenhubertron··on Design Thinking Books (2024)
I have similar experience and agree with your book recommendations. Depending on your vertical I would add the Toyota Way later to understand factory design and efficiency. It’s interesting to read back to back.
stevenhubertron··on California is free of drought for the first time in 25 years
This doesn’t seem important to note at all.
stevenhubertron··on Ski map artist James Niehues, the 'Monet of the mountains' (2021)
Trails and lifts change and get renamed over the years so they aren’t painted by James. They’re added by the ski resort later so in James’s book, he shared his raw paintings not the augmentation done by the resort.
stevenhubertron··on X (Twitter) Is Down
HN isn’t the place to spread these sort of lies. Glad it’s up for you. Bring receipts if you see a “coordinated campaign”
stevenhubertron··on Show HN: I built a "Do not disturb" Device for my home office
You can make this quite a bit easier you could just connect your Apple calendar or Google calendar to Home Assistant directly and just set up an automation there no script needed
stevenhubertron··on Show HN: Picknplace.js, an alternative to drag-and-drop
The amount of time it took me to figure out how to use this I am embarrassed to say was too long.
stevenhubertron··on Kilauea erupts, destroying webcam [video]
That arcing of the lava really is something to behold. The pressures to push molten rock like that are impressive.
stevenhubertron··on 3D printing with unconventional vase mode
Vase mode has been around for quite some time and a very popular way to print quickly.
stevenhubertron··on Hunter Biden Added to the White House Timeline
Cocaine Discovered During Biden’s administration, a U.S. Secret Service agent discovered a small, zippered plastic bag containing cocaine in the West Wing entrance lobby. Speculation has pointed to Hunter Biden, an admitted drug user. Additional evidence includes a laptop, seized in 2019, which contains photos of frequent drug use alongside emails about foreign business dealings (Ukraine, China) involving his father, Joe, while he was Vice President.
stevenhubertron··on We need a clearer framework for AI-assisted contributions to open source
Perhaps it's time for Klout to rise from the ashes?
stevenhubertron··on Power over Ethernet (PoE) basics and beyond
I’m less happy with Reolink and most of Reolink are now in a drawer. Been a fan of Amcrest and Scrypted.
stevenhubertron··on Software update bricks some Jeep 4xe hybrids over the weekend
it was a telematics update
stevenhubertron··on Software update bricks some Jeep 4xe hybrids over the weekend
being unable to drive my vehicle due to a software update is bricking. It's also a pun, us Jeep owners call our Jeep's flying bricks.
stevenhubertron··on Software update bricks some Jeep 4xe hybrids over the weekend
I’m sorry, but you’re incorrect the vehicle completely shutting down while driving and not working again until you put it into park and then it’s shutting down five minutes later is effectively bricked and extremely dangerous. Myself and my family almost died just trying to get home from dinner. It was a complete loss of propulsion and power steering.
stevenhubertron··on Meta Ray-Ban Display
I deeply disagree here. Bone conduction headphones sound significantly worse then the Ray-Bans. You can hate Meta but its untrue that its the same audio experience.
stevenhubertron··on QGIS is a free, open-source, cross platform geographical information system
Qgis is powerful and free but it’s slow, has the steepest learning curve and gets in your way. I am happy it exists but it’s not great.
stevenhubertron··on Bending Spoons acquires Vimeo for $1.38B
Citation needed for “improve the product”
stevenhubertron··on Charlie Kirk killed at event in Utah
Sure seems more and more like some person or nature is seeking to destabilize us. Seems anti-American to blame the other side and not realize we are better together.
stevenhubertron··on Bending Spoons acquires Vimeo for $1.38B
Their corporate video hosting is great for platform hosting, but guess I need to find a new provider for next years renewal.
stevenhubertron··on Apple Debuts iPhone 17
All models are so uninteresting to me. Maybe its finally time I try the Nothing Phon
stevenhubertron··on Apple Debuts iPhone 17
When they do release small phones not enough people buy them so they don't see the cost as worth it. Simple market dynamics I assume.
stevenhubertron··on Garmin beats Apple to market with satellite-connected smartwatch
Honest question - How is it helpful to know a car is coming? On my commute to work I have a bike lane and 100s of cars pass me in their lane, knowing a car wouldn't be helpful, knowing a car was going to hit me also may not be helpful if I couldn't move over, exactly what is the benefit?
stevenhubertron··on Show HN: DevPorts – Kill development server processes
When getting coding assistant from Claude I find it opens up and doesn't kill a bunch of development ports so I made a small CLI to help list and kill them. You can certainly do this many other ways but just typing in devports was nice and easy for me.

This is my first CLI script.

stevenhubertron··on Harper – an open-source alternative to Grammarly
It says it's disabled on Outlook's web client and it's not clear why or how to enable. If I can't use this to proofread emails what is the point?
stevenhubertron··on Apple introduces a universal design across platforms
I don't post here often, but I hope someone at Apple is reading this as this is one of the worst designs I have seen from this company. Even in their own presentation they shows text hard to read, text on top of text. It's an accessibility and usability nightmare. I really don't want to give up iMessage but if what ships looks as bad as this I may jump ship.
stevenhubertron··on Natural occurring molecule rivals Ozempic in weight loss, sidesteps side effects
I read the article, didn't see what foods contain that molecule.
stevenhubertron··on Ask HN: How can I realistically change careers?
My small sample size has always said accountant's work CRAZY hours for much less pay. Clearly you have a different sample. What are you hearing?
stevenhubertron··on Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban, but Trump might offer lifeline
For a 1MM kids, not for 169MM others. They will go where there is the least friction which is likely a Meta or Alphabet product.
stevenhubertron··on Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban, but Trump might offer lifeline
This makes it easier for those 170M users to find new homes with President Musk's X or any of Zuck's advertising products.
stevenhubertron··on A simple math error sparked a panic about black plastic kitchen utensils
Glad I held on to my kitchen utensils. Given how broad the hype cycle was and how I was getting push notifications on my phone about it from multiple "news" sources it felt like hysteria. Likely helped black friday sales at Sur la Table though.
