One of the 1%. Alien famously starts with the crew of the Nostromo (a space mining rig) riding a transport down to an uninhabited moon where the transport of this mining vessel is damaged by... landing on a rock.

I had a great k3s experience with a silly, over engineered weekend project to automate my fog machine with motion sensors.

I connected motion sensors to battery & wifi enabled RPis, built a remote circuit to control the fog machine, and ran a k3s cluster with NATS to bring it all together. 10/10 would do again.

Re:Ask HN: What are some Git aliases you setup that save you time? on Thursday July 06, 2023 @06:06PM (#36623815)
For anyone new to aliases, you can add them with:

  alias my_alias="command"
Add it to your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zprofile so it's ready whenever you are. Check out this page for more info: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-create-bash-aliases/
Re:Oxide pays all employees $191,227 (Bay Area startup) on Tuesday March 14, 2023 @07:49PM (#35161347)
I think they meant that, in general, startups are not able to compete purely on salary. I don't think they're saying that Oxide's salary is not a lot.
Re:Jessica Wade made more than 1k Wikipedia bios for unknown women sci... on Sunday October 16, 2022 @12:15PM (#33224747)
I disagree. It isn’t about smartness. There are plenty of intelligent women who may enjoy and be well suited for science, but were discouraged from pursuing it at a young age.

Re:Accounting For Developers, Part I on Wednesday August 17, 2022 @12:04PM (#32498133)
I noticed this, too. The summary bullets at the end of the post also oppose the diagram. Probably a simple mixup of credit/debit in the left column. The rest of the article usually lists do it first.

It’s also pretty easy to figure where it will strike. Just wire up the ol’ clock tower.
Re:Deno raises $21M on Tuesday June 21, 2022 @03:08PM (#31827830)
It’s used as a comparison to the alternative, O(1000), an order-of-magnitude improvement.
