Do you RSVP? Seems like planning food for anywhere from 2 families to 30 people would be tough

Curious what other books or studies in this vein you might recommend

Would love to hear more of your experience… Plant farming? Animals? Acerage? Income? Kind of looking at this myself

Tried connecting on LinkedIn since you don’t have an email in your profile.

Curious how the one-time-payment trial for AffectedSleep went? Think the idea was great, but was too late to get significant engagement on HN. Have looked into it multiple times over the last couple years to refer to people, but keep having to share it’s a subscription which has made everyone turn away.

Working on my IFR now, cool to see another software engineer by day, pilot by night. :)
Re:JetKVM – Control any computer remotely on Monday October 27, 2025 @01:29PM (#45723865)
PiKVM seems to be the large competitor here and is completely open source. If you're looking into KVM solutions, probably check it out, but JetKVM is over 50% less, which is a huge argument in favor of it.

Enjoyed the read, thanks for passing along. What book is it from?

I don't use the app often, but I felt comfortable purchasing because it wasn't a subscription. The few times I do want ASCII art, it does the job perfectly, so it works super well to have in my back pocket. Thanks for not going the subscription route.
To anyone else reading, I would recommend, AirGradiant is the only real contender that checks all the boxes for an air monitor. Love the way they spun this narrative.

This… this is impressive dedication to a gag blog post. Enjoyed the read.
What on earth is on them?
These questions come up and I always wonder about the edge cases. I'm an identical twin. My twin can get get past my faceID consistently, from first release until today. What happens when twins with bad blood start abusing facial recognition?
Re:Dashcam images reveal where police are deployed on Monday July 10, 2023 @10:15AM (#36666793)
The paper itself is quite interesting, and also contains the maps illustrating where NYPD is deployed more often. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3593013.3594020
Interested in the first professor mentioned, but can't narrow it down and find who they are. Can you provide any more information?
I got hired from that thread, for what it's worth. Love my job.

Quick Google, this might help. Best of luck on the project. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/c...

This seems like a particularly helpful suggestion, both for the original context of the question, but also something I'm likely to use myself. Thanks.

As someone who grew up after the age of BBS's, it's an interesting account to read of how times have changed and interesting to reflect on how much curiosity drove so many of us into tech at a young age.

Re:FAA says 5G could impact radio altimeters on most Boeing 737s on Wednesday February 23, 2022 @03:19PM (#30445857)
Am a pilot, but just PPL, from my understanding the greatest threat is forcing the autopilot to perform certain maneuvers thinking terrain is closer than it actually is.
