Spam musubi is so good, the author should try making some :)
Pilot Juice's have gotten me through my later highschool years and my entire undergrad. Highly recommend those. The uniball signo's listed in the article are also quite nice!

Ask HN: How did you end up in your subfield?

Hello!I have been out of University and working for about a year now. However, recently I have been feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed on what I want to do.I'd like to ask1. What sub-field are you working in?2. How did you end up in your niche?3. Is there any advice you have for Junior programmers trying to find their way in tech?Thanks for your attention.

I think that's why kickstart is good to start out with, despite the video being a little outdated it was still easy to reason with. I haven't run into those issues describe but it's probably because I'm still newer to the ecosystem.

I had tried getting into a vim about a year and a half ago, I used chris@machines LunarVim and I think that about after about a month I quit. I struggled with learning vim motions and how to configure it. Granted, I may like it more now that I know more. But, this video got me to try neovim again and I have not switched off for a few months now. I daily drive now and it is thanks to this video. The configuration is simple to understand and a lot easier to come to grips with. The video is a little outdated in that some parts don't match with how the configuration is set up now, but it was easy to figure out how to work with it (sorry my memory isn't great on what issues I ran into, skimming through the video it seems like Packer->Lazy is one).

That and the consistency of the rice cooker. I try not to buy one use kitchen utilities as a frequent home cook. But I’d be hard pressed to ever give up my rice cooker

I think these types of rice cookers are so expensive as they use induction. Honestly I don’t know how much better it is but supposingly it allows for more accurate heating, allowing for more accurate cooking

I was thinking about applying but after some research it seemed a bit shady. Former cofounder stole 3.6 billion in BTC https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30261118
Re:Show HN: MicroTCP, a minimal TCP/IP stack on Tuesday October 31, 2023 @05:28PM (#38091626)
I am not very familiar with this kind of stuff either but I have read through "Beej's Guide to Network Programming" https://beej.us/guide/bgnet/html/split/. Which seems like enough to implement something like OP posted.

As for db's/other interesting things, I haven't read them myself but this site seems solid https://build-your-own.org/. If anyone has any real experience with this site, I would love to hear it!

How do you guys get ideas for “useless” software? I’d like to do some more personal projects but I always get stuck at what I want to even do

Re:The easy way to concurrency and parallelism with Python stdlib on Thursday September 14, 2023 @10:13AM (#37509372)
Awesome article, use it a lot in a python project at work and it's quite nice how simple it is. I'm trying to replicate the python code but in Rust and it is slightly slower, more than likely my fault though as I'm new to Rust.
