Re:Show HN: Mic Drop, a real-time multiplayer karaoke game on Saturday August 15, 2026 @09:05PM (#49315851)
This looks fun! Had to open two tabs on my phone to test it before I consider sending it out to others. I often play a “sing a song from a word” game with my sister so it’s cool to see a framework around it.

I thought the same thing and further that it really depends on what time of the day it was and who was out of their houses to be able to run into them.

Re:Creating a Personalised Bin Calendar on Thursday July 02, 2026 @08:08AM (#48760180)
Interesting what works for some, we just use two recurring calendar events for a 3-bin system the night before. Where the pickups differ like end of year holidays, we revert to no tech and just glance into the street and see what everyone else is doing.

I agree with the sentiment but hash collisions can occur with different content which doesn’t really make them immutable.

I do this too, really happy with my setup - I use hyper+arrow keys to move windows around a monitor (split in thirds on 40”+ or halves on the built-in screen), or jump to another monitor, and hyper+enter to fullscreen. When you push against an edge in full screen it reduces the window size in stages, it all feels natural.

I would’ve enjoyed starting a conference call and adding multiple people in, breaking away from the 1 minute at a time limit.

I’ve suffered from reflux like symptoms for years, and only recently heard about this from another source - Waiting in (unlikely?) anticipation to see if it’s the silver bullet to all related issues.

I had this same idea and seem to recall even trying it, but it was mostly thwarted when they added minimum liquid delivery amounts.
