Re:Show HN: Tweek perfect tool for daily task management on Thursday November 17, 2022 @12:14PM (#33642134)
The web view looks great, with a "week planner" feel to it. I instantly got it and started adding some items to it.

But with the mobile and Mac app (haven't tried the iPad app yet), it shows a "list type" view (not sure if that's the correct term).

Are you considering adding a "week planner" view to at least the Mac app?

Re:EU Passes Law to Switch iPhone to USB-C by End of 2024 on Tuesday October 04, 2022 @10:52AM (#33081247)
Thinking out loud if Apple would resort to making 2 versions of their iPhones? And then exclusively selling the USB-C version in the EU, and everywhere else giving the customers a choice.

Any chance you’ll be releasing this on SetApp too (like TaskPaper)?

Re:What is the best dumb TV? on Saturday October 03, 2020 @01:50AM (#24669869)
I find the microwaves with dials just last longer, and they are usually cheaper. In my experience, the touch pads on the digital ones breakdown faster.
There used to be a site call ClerkDogs.com that probably had the best movie recommendation system I've used. You started off naming a few movies you liked, and it would provide a list of movies you'd also probably like, and it was very accurate.

From what I remember, the database was cataloged and maintained by actual humans, and not some algorithm following behavior patterns.

Idea for the developer to consider: Pro version generates a long list and checks if the domain name is available.

Re:Lyft’s Radical Experiment in Charging for Free Parking on Wednesday August 09, 2017 @11:24PM (#14976069)
Just an observation: Why aren't Lyft's employees using Lyft's ride-sharing service to get to work?

I know that's not the point of the article, but if your company owns ~25% of the market share [1], wouldn't it make more sense to instead give your employees "Lyft credits" (or whatever it's called), and have them use the service on a near-daily basis.

Re:Backblaze B2 Drops Download Pricing by 60% on Tuesday April 18, 2017 @01:42PM (#14141019)
Hi Gleb,

I'm about to sign up for the B2 Cloud Storage, just noticed a tiny typo in the "Keep costs down" section on https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html:

"...the fist 1 GB of downloads per day are free."

Re:Ask HN: Do you still use UML? on Saturday November 05, 2016 @11:11AM (#12880058)
If I must use UML, I prefer using Yuml (http://yuml.me) to generate them.

Easy to use, allows you to "code" the UML structure in a simple template language, and the output looks rather nice.

Re:Improve developer habits by showing time cost of DB queries on Wednesday April 16, 2014 @10:13PM (#7601685)
Any suggestions for something similar with CodeIgniter or even native PHP?
I'm getting transfer speeds of ~970KB/s (checking using iStat). Averaging nearly 1MB/s isn't bad, but I'm curious, could this go faster?

Re:The complete guide to centering a div on Monday February 03, 2014 @07:06AM (#7170179)
I'm curious, why did they remove the <center> tag? What was wrong with it?
I've found that attempting to roll your tongue while this occurs tends to lift the sleep paralysis. No idea why this works though.
Slight off-topic question: I want to collect my own metadata at this level (for just calls and SMS)?

From what I can tell I need to collect:

- List of all incoming and outgoing calls and SMS

- Get my location data and match them to the timestamp (?) of the calls and SMS's

- Display this on a map.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Re:Vim Adventures on Saturday May 11, 2013 @05:13AM (#5690168)
First of all, awesome concept. This might just force me to stop using nano all the time.

I'm curious though as to why the developer chose to limit the license to 6 months when charging a flat ~$5 per month might be easier to sell?

This reminds me of a Futurama episode: http://futurama.wikia.com/wiki/EyePhone
Could this mean that a "magentic hose" built really tall, be used to launch objects into space?

The About page, http://thomasfriedmanopedgenerator.com/about.php, doesn't say much on how this was done. So far, I see a pattern in the writing style with a lot of:

An interesting thought occurred to me today—what if X_Profession sat down with ordinary people like you and me and ironed out some real solutions to our Y_Issue crisis?

But does anyone know how the rest of it was generated?
