I shared a project I've been working on for months that I expected the community to love; it received all of 9 clicks, one upvote and disappeared from the "new" page into oblivion. I don't know how strict HN is about…

A year ago I watched The Count of Monte Cristo, got curious about post-revolution France, and wondered which other movies depicted France in the same period. I was disappointed to find no easy way to answer that…

I read this on HN, probably a year or so ago, and cannot find it back. It was a nice write-up that, essentially, talked about why traditions and social conventions/rituals (e.g. marriage/weddings, going to church, etc.)…

The UX is not optimal so I wanted to write a nicer frontend for it (at least for personal use but was thinking to open source it at some point). Was surprised to see they have no API and are actually taking quite strong…

ChatGPT's new vision capabilities recently got rolled out. I spent a few hours playing with it and I was really impressed, but I haven't found "useful" applications for it yet. Any good ideas or useful prompts?

Curious of hiring managers' perspectives but also in your personal experiences: what's the best approach approach for cover letters/first contacts for positions where you're a little (or a lot) underqualified (e.g.…

I recently got back on the job market and started being active on LinkedIn. Until recently I received regular (1-2/week) high-quality recruiter messages on LinkedIn, which I think matches the experience of most tech…

My favourite are: - Economics Explained - Polymatter - Wendover Productions (sometimes a bit harder to follow without video) - Practical Engineering (not all are listenable)

Just paste in a chunk of systemd (or whatever) logs and start asking questions. Often just pasting in the logs and pressing enter results in it identifying potential problems and suggesting solutions. It helped me…

Mostly for indoors/personal growth, not industrial

They are hard to find due to the incredible amount of BS and shilling out there. I know https://www painscience.com which is absolute gold, and https://mybiohack.com that is slightly more commercial (has affiliate…

I've been using it for over 7 years, and while I've memorized a bunch of commands and have some idea of what the commit tree is, I'm perpetually bewildered by some of its messages or the behavior of some commands - and…

I dabble in both words (healthcare and tech) and would very much enjoy a platform with the same level of intelligent discourse as HN but focusing on healthcare news rather than tech. Is there anything similar?

What is a reasonable, scriptable alternative to Dropbox that does 2-way syncing? Preferably Foss, but I don't mind paying for a good service.

Living in Europe, I am moderately nervous about the current situation with Russia and Ukraine. Reuters is usually my source for decent quality journalism on world events, but I found they have a weird clickbaity thing…

I am using Dropbox to keep my laptop and desktop data in sync. It works fantastic except it's impossible to choose what to sync and what not to sync, meaning a lot of things that shouldn't be synced get messed up…

I.e. channels where it's possible to understand (almost) everything by just listening and not actively watching all the time. I'm interested in all topics really as long as it's quality content and teaches me something.…

Hello. I'm looking for an open source tool or library for setting up complex monitoring of different types of sources (news, academic journals, websites, RSS, etc.). No commercial or GUI news feeds, as they are severely…

By "specialty website" I mean websites maintained by one or few people that contain a wealth of expert and often opinionated information on a very specific topic. They often look like the CSS was done by a 4 year old.…

I have a very fond memory of "specialty" websites that were halfway between a personal blog and encyclopaedia about very narrow (and somewhat random) topics. They were/are mostly maintained by a single person or small…
