Re:Show HN: Sigabrt.dev – cronjob monitor with an SSH TUI on Sunday September 20, 2026 @10:19AM (#49776176)
You are missing the biggest value offering here - service such as the one linked here (or healthchecks io that I personally use) will let you know that signal didn't arrive even when other things on your end failed (e.g. cron having a hard time sending failure email due to incorrect smtp credentials). I use those kind of healthchecks literally for everything, especially for backups - they saved my ass many times over.
Re:How's Linear so fast? A technical breakdown on Sunday June 07, 2026 @04:58PM (#48438468)
The goal is - and I think they have achieved it - is that you don't have to think about it. They handle sync, and they do it reliably.

Re:GitHub removes bunch of data from their webhook payloads on Tuesday August 12, 2025 @04:34PM (#44881500)
It's hilarious how little info they provide about what's that they are removing.
Re:What does connecting with someone mean? on Thursday July 24, 2025 @08:10AM (#44669706)
Great insights. In US people do ask one another "how are you?", perhaps in a shallow way - but I think it's still an opener that can lead to more meaningful conversation. In Poland for instance, where I'm from, people don't ask "how are you?" one another - which slightly limits that opportunity. At the same time Europe as a whole has so much better work life balance which allows for many more outside work friends and family connections and spending time together.
Re:Show HN: Minimal, self-hosted exercise tracker on Friday December 27, 2024 @08:53PM (#42527870)
Very cool! I like the simplicity of it. Right now I'm working on something similar for myself (and some of my family), but maybe other people find it potentially interesting too? Essentially I'm building a webapp that each time I use it will arrange random ~5-7 lower back exercises from a list of ~25 for a total of 10 minutes session. Then it will guide me (only time and name of exercise) through the workout session (counting down the exercise time, and pause/break time). The problem I'm solving is to not have to think too much about what exercise I should/want to do next, make it a little bit more fun/interesting (due to randomness aspect) and free my hands from operating a timer to time myself (also less likely to drift to social media or youtube videos). Thoguhts?
Re:Running PHP fast at the edge with WebAssembly on Thursday May 23, 2024 @02:41PM (#40458280)
I don't think edge in this case mean browser. I think edge in this case is more similar to a CDN node.
Re:The Polish Election Bazaar on Sunday October 15, 2023 @04:01PM (#37892907)
I'm Polish (well, not spending much time in Poland lately), but just FYI this practice (not the election silence - that is true) is not something me or family ever heard about. Maybe it exists, but it's not popular.
This is beautiful, I wonder if there is a way to make it avaliable to more people. Not even as a business - I just imagine it would help a lot of families in similar situations.
I don't mean it in a bad way but I scrolled through the website, watched the video, and still don't really know what is the product/service/offering and when would I need it.

I appreciate author sharing the learnings, that being said given product is not very successful I question the value of such learnings.
It's Amazon, it's not a startup.

I so agree. I also love how it's content vs form focused.
Re:Mcmaster.com is the best e-commerce site I've ever used on Monday September 26, 2022 @12:53AM (#32979560)
Totally agree - yet they still don't have countersunk M7 that I needed so badly (apparently I managed to get it from Volvo)
Re:Leon: Open-source, self-hosted personal assistant on Sunday September 04, 2022 @12:53PM (#32715053)
"Leon uses AI concepts, which is cool." - somehow this really discouraged me from looking deeper into it.
"within designated parts of San Francisco" - as for Cruise, which parts of San Francisco those are?
Re:Listen to radio stations from around the world on Monday February 15, 2021 @02:26AM (#26140071)
It's probably just because of usage of http instead of https.

This is cool! I've lately been rediscovering my love for radio, and this helps a lot.

Amazing work, love this kind of reverse engineering
This is one of the worst article I read in a long time - also I couldn't disagree with it more. I like eating salads and my friends like eating stakes - Venmo and Square Cash makes it so easy for us to spend time together and split money in a sensible way (how splitting it in a half would be sensible in this case?). Saying that this make friendship transactional is just bullshit - it makes them honest. And people thinking they they are charged for friendship because they have to pay for their own meal need to rethink it.
