thomas536··on Smart devices are eating the market for accessibly-priced watches
Yeah my killer feature is a microphone, which the PineTime doesn't have...

"""

The entire process now took 6.5 days and cost $21/day. Our total cost all said and done was $115!

Pine is working on a watch but by no means will they be eating the market.

thomas536··on Ask HN: DAG Layout Using HTML and CSS
Ah interesting.

There are URL attributes that you can set to make the whole node clickable [1].

Do you need only one link per node or do you want the node's text to be fully blown/rendered html (i.e. multiple links per node)?

thomas536··on Fast and flexible observability with canonical log lines

thomas536··on Ask HN: Private and easily searchable tool to export email archives to?
I know many people want something like this, but few seem to want to pay for it, which seems to leave the problem languishing. Would you be willing to pay for such software? If so how much?
thomas536··on Ask HN: Has anyone had luck using the Wikipedia data dumps?
I also didn't find much information about how long it would take to import into a db, so I used the xml dumps directly [1]. I only needed the wiki content (not the history), so the article xml files worked well for me. And then I used mwparserfromhell [2] to parse and extract from the wiki markup.

thomas536··on New Hardware from PINE64
Anybody know of any SBCs* with good low power modes enough to run for a few days on a 4000 mAh battery?

Phones have been able to do this for years, but I can't find any modern Linux SBCs with real lower power CPU modes to last for days.

* ideally 1+GHz with 4GB RAM and on-board lipo charging circuit
