thomasswift··on Show HN: I mapped every US golf course
This is badass. Thank you!

Near my area, there is a driving range and a simulator place as pins. both nice but not courses. Do you want reports on that?

chatgpt told me:: Q:is it bs they sent it 1 in the morning on thanksgiving? A:It’s not an accident.

Companies often time unpleasant disclosures for low-attention windows: late at night, weekends, holidays. Thanksgiving morning at 1 a.m. is exactly that: minimal press, minimal outrage, minimal inbound questions.

It doesn’t mean the incident is fake. It means they wanted the obligation of disclosure without the impact of attention.

It’s standard corporate damage-containment timing.

thomasswift··on Show HN: Thruhikes – A list of long distance hikes around the world
Super cool! Quick comment. Check your site on mobile, the suggest bar did some weird text wrapping to make it seems to say "this list is growing Dont email me" and I think with a line break or two in there it would be clearer that you want them! I can email a screenshot if you like

thomasswift··on Show HN: Fileshifter – Easily convert files and videos between different formats
Wonderful!! I'll give it a try.
thomasswift··on Show HN: Fileshifter – Easily convert files and videos between different formats
Cool! I think you need a way to get back to the home screen so that someone can try another conversion. After I did the default png->pdf, there is nothing to click on to go back and try another conversion, besides editing the URL. (maybe a link 'try another' or just home) - but cool thanks for sharing! Edit: on Safari mac 10.13 if that helps
thomasswift··on Walken on Rails
"A Ruby on a Rail" - funny stuff.
thomasswift··on Show HN: I built a webapp to help web "designers" create logos and fonts quickly
I think this is very cool.

One piece of feedback from how I would use this type of tool: Once I set my logotext, which I found not to be a problem, I would love to just jam on the down arrow on my keyboard to cycle through all. It sort of worked because it would open the last select used. but then it be pretty cool for my uses at least.

thomasswift··on MobileWorks (YC S11) is a Hands-Off Mechanical Turk

thomasswift··on Hacker News Search
I put together a simple safari extension that puts the bar after the submit link in the header. (not sure on the amount of safari users, but maybe a chrome version?)

thomasswift··on Things That Need To Be In iOS 5
I have never heard of MobileNotifier. Pretty Cool, but covering up a row of the icons will never fly with Apple. For my purposes the notifications work fine, except for when you are a phone call and you get an alert, you have to respond to it - to end the call.
thomasswift··on Show HN: Quick joke project
Ah! I get it now, I guess I was being a bit thick.
thomasswift··on Show HN: Quick joke project
I was amused for a good few minutes. I think if your really wondering if something is a snack or not, you might want to put actual snacks items instead of full blown dinner options. I think you will be getting answers to more of the question of Is it edible? which a CD is not.

I stopped at this one. Is this a snack: dinner? - No, it's dinner. :)

thomasswift··on Ask HN: f & t logos are everywhere, but for how long?
How long? When the next big thing comes along they will move to that. Remember everything use to promote their myspace page? Myspace is still around, it's just not popular with, I guess, most people these brands are targeting.
