tummybug··on Building a Real-Time Recommendation Engine
Exactly the same as you, I was just trying out neo4j today with a small dataset (30mb) and was getting memory exceptions trying to add a relationship.
tummybug··on Indie Hackers: Learn how developers are making money
Great site for inspiration. Gave me the same feels reading revenuenumbers.com (posted here a while ago) did.
tummybug··on ‘Bitcoin Browser’ Brave Raises $4.5M, Readies for 1.0 Launch
I just downloaded this and went to test it out. I went straight to a torrent site to see how it worked. The was a noticeable difference in how fast the page loaded but the pop under on the site still managed to open a tab with some shady advertising. I imagine they are still working out the kinks but when they are as effective as blocking ads as an ad-blocker and maintains its speed this will be a great browser.
tummybug··on Ask HN: What was your “why didn't I start doing this sooner” moment?
I do both gardening and fishing and can say when I am doing both my mind is definitely not at rest. I am constantly scanning the water, thinking of a different way to retrieve my lure or present my bait. Hobbies are something you are interested in that excite you and I don't think are analogous to meditation.
tummybug··on Ask HN: What was your “why didn't I start doing this sooner” moment?
I see this all too much, my reasoning for working 8-9 hour days and nothing more is its being dishonest to the company to put in longer hours. Obviously estimates (and estimates always turn into deadlines) have been done wrong and by putting in those all nighters/extra hours you are only covering up those bad estimates. I find it much better to learn from mistakes so next time the estimates are done better.
tummybug··on Ask HN: What's your favorite way to save money?
My method which is my least favourite but most successful was to marry a quite frugal woman. I was never the type who had any money left at the end of the month but have just put a 55k€ deposit down on a new house and have money left to furnish it (about 2 yrs of saving). I also have a young child, live in a nice area with high rent, have a car and have many hobbies which I enjoy regularly. The main savings have come from cutting back on expensive impulse purchases, the second would be cutting down to one coffee a day and bringing my own lunch to work. Next on my list is to quit smoking which should also greatly increase my savings ability.

tummybug··on Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition
The battery being a LiPo (lithium polymer) could be a concern (they are quite unstable and explode on contact with water) and IIRC are not allowed to be brought on planes. They can also be permanently damaged if you allow the voltage per cell to get too low and do not have a huge amount of recharge cycles.
tummybug··on GitHub blocked in Russia
I often find `ssh -D` to setup a local socks proxy far easier than using VPN assuming you have a machine you can connect to in a state that hasn't blocked the sites you are trying to reach.
tummybug··on Show HN: Prophet – A financial micro-framework in Python
Looks good, I have been working on something similar recently but may just stop and use this. Would love to see the documentation fleshed out more.
tummybug··on Norwegian skydiver nearly struck by meteorite
Seems strange that the other diver is following the same path as the meteorite and passes by just a few seconds later. Could he have dropped it and it accelerated to a speed faster than he was travelling?
tummybug··on Advice for dealing with "tab Hell" in your browser.
I use tab groups for arranging my tabs in groups, the shortcut Ctrl+` can be used for cycling through tab groups. This along with the other shortcuts mentioned make dealing with lots of tabs a lot less painful.
