Show HN: Web-based setup tool for Django Cookiecutter

https://aisaastemplate.com/tools/cookiecutter/

I made a simple browser-based tool for stepping through Cookiecutter Django project setup:https://aisaastemplate.com/tools/django-cookiecutter/Main reason: I kept repeating the same command-line flow when starting projects, and I’d occasionally mistype inputs or need to backtrack.This is a small attempt to make that process smoother. It’s free, requires no login, and is meant for anyone who...

Show HN: An on-device Mac app for real-time posture reminders

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ai-posture-reminder-app/id1574005886?mt=12

Built this because I wanted a simple posture app I could leave running all day without extra friction. It runs locally on Mac, watches for posture drift in real time, and nudges you when you start slouching.I’d especially love feedback on accuracy, privacy expectations, and whether the reminders feel useful in practice.Cheers!

Based on our data analysis, we have discovered several key findings related to earnings differences between Ivy League and top public schools, the most lucrative fields, and the top 20 school/major combinations with the highest earnings.

Ivy League vs. Top Public Schools Earnings

Ivy League graduates have significantly higher average earnings (91,867 USD) and median earnings (82,034 USD) compared to top public school graduates, who have an average earning of 66,341 USD and median earning of 58,647 USD. Factors such as program offerings, access to resources, networking opportunities, and perceived prestige may contribute to these differences in earnings. Prospective students should consider these potential earnings against the cost of attendance and personal preferences when choosing between Ivy League and top public schools. Most Lucrative Fields

The top 5 fields with the highest median earnings 4 years after graduation are:

Nuclear Engineering Technologies/Technicians (131,454 USD) Biomathematics, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology (117,247 USD) Marine Transportation (104,858 USD) Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (101,744 USD) Operations Research (99,689 USD) Top 20 School/Major Earnings

The top 5 schools with the highest median earnings are Harvard University, California Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pennsylvania, and Princeton University. Computer Science and Computer and Information Sciences, General are the most common majors among the top 20 schools/majors. Other high-earning majors in the top 20 include Finance and Financial Management Services, Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Engineering. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and University of California-Berkeley both have 3 different majors in the top 20. Median earnings for the top 20 schools/majors range from 168,957 USD (University of Washington-Seattle Campus, Computer Engineering) to 256,539 USD (Harvard University, Computer Science).

Re:Why I quit using SwiftUI on Sunday August 28, 2022 @03:29PM (#32631276)
Built an  macOS app (https://posturenet.app) to monitor my posture in real time with SwiftUI last year for fun.

The lack of support for Video and Camera from SwiftUI was the most challenging part for me as a newbie  Mac dev.

Took me a few weekends to get the core part done (ML and algorithm), but hooking up all the UI components and connecting them with the video stream gave me so many headaches.

With that said, it was still much easier for me (complete newbie to  Mac App at the time) to learn and develop in SwiftUI than UIKit.

Hope SwiftUI keeps getting better and  keeps investing in the team.

Brilliant! Love the idea, I've been thinking of adding a tree diagram or a social graph style exploration tool for subreddit finder, will likely add it soon so people can visualize their relationship and find similar subreddits based on a subreddit they already know.
Fair point, our goal was not to help people spam reddit, instead, I think one should contribute to the community and share their expertise, focus on contributing first.
Product feature request from talking to a real customer, not sure if it will pass a mom test though, lol.
Lol, NSFW version coming soon...
Thanks @mtmail for your feedback, will take a look and figure out what heppened to perl.

It might be because of our training data, as perl gets less popular, our training data might simply not having enough good data. : )

Enter your elevator pitch and find relevant popular subreddits (Safe For Work only).
Very cool, I work on https://sqlpad.io which allows people to practice sql coding interview questions online.

Do you provide 3rd party hosting? Might consider replacing ours to something more flexible like yours in the future.

A real time posture monitoring  Mac App: 1. Reminds you when you slouch; 2. Privacy centric: train your own posture model and none of your data leaves your computer; 3. All computing on local machine, use it even without internet; 4. Currently doesn't support external camera (coming soon); 5. Works great if the camera is in a fixed position: e.g.,  iMac

Free to download on  Mac AppStore, please let me know what you think.
