Re:Exercise intensity is associated with cardiometabolic health on Friday September 11, 2026 @01:17AM (#49653835)
I built this HIIT timer tool www.hiitmeup.fit for exactly this reason as I try to squeeze in a compact exercise during my busy work days. I put this out on show HN a few weeks ago and hope others will find it just as useful as I do.

These issues should be addressed now. Please let me know if there are any open items.

Really appreciate the feedback. I will work to address this feedback promptly as layout issues and responsiveness can definitely impact the overall user experience. I will also prioritize the native app development which I assume will address both issues more easily.

Thank you! Please do share any feature requests if you have and I will be sure to priorize.

Show HN: Simple HIIT timer for efficient workouts

Hi HN community,As a busy techie with kids and other family obligations and my recent health diagnosis, I wanted an efficient way to integrate workouts in my daily routine and my research indicated that HIIT/Tabata style routines fit that requirement much better than a dedicated long running/planned workout routine.I made a simple PWA to help me with that endeavor that I have found useful and...

Re:What was your "Oh Shit" moment with GenAI? on Friday June 05, 2026 @06:51PM (#48419364)
I was working on a science experiment (electromagnetics) with my 10-year-old kid that was going to be demonstrated at a science fair in his school. We ran into a hiccup with the experiment that we couldn't debug ourselves. I turned on Gemini live video call to help us root cause the problem. It was able to clearly articulate all the possible issues and eventually was successful in making our apparatus work as expected. Turned out the wire that I was wrapping around the screw had some insulation that was not scraped off well on the side it was connecting to the battery. Gemini was able to capture this detail even though my bare eyes could not. My kid and 2 of his friends were impressed not just by the experiment, but because the live audio/video back and forth we had with the AI was almost magical!
If this will kill all bacteria and viruses, it would certainly also destroy the beneficial bacteria that forms our microbiome and that could have negative health effects in the long run. Has any research been done to check on this?
Those are some insanely cheap prices for 1.5GB a day! I pay $40 for 1GB a month here in the United States. How is this even possible? Are the service providers here really taking in such a fat margin?
Re:Vegan takeaway orders quadruple over past two years on Wednesday August 28, 2019 @11:36PM (#20826440)
Couldn't agree more. Inspite of being a hardcore meat-eater, I often enjoy authentic vegan food because of the actual plant based ingredients such as beans, beatroot and corn. The flavors come together quite nicely in an old school veggie bean patty. The trend with impossible meats disappoints me.
Did you know that languages even within different states in India can be vastly more different than the differences between French and German, all with a different script and all? Yes, India is probably more diverse all on it's own, compared to all of EU perhaps.
Re:Immune cells may play a role in causing cavities on Monday April 15, 2019 @10:21PM (#19670630)
I wonder if the results of this study indirectly also supports this previous study linking oral cancers and oral cavities, proving that higher number of cavities results in reduced cancer risk: https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/news/20130912/tooth-caviti...
Coffee with milk or cream, or black coffee?
This could be 'the' groundbreaking medical discovery of our century, if proven to work. I think I read some stats recently about how most people in the near future will not die of sudden conditions like heart failure etc but rather die due to slow killers like cancer (I will try to corroborate the reference here if I find it) and this may have a huge impact on humanity.
Re:Spain will soon overtake Japan in life expectancy rankings on Saturday December 29, 2018 @11:10PM (#18787319)
It is unclear from the article if lifespans presented in the calculations include those impacted by homicides/accidents or only natural causes.
Re:Spain will soon overtake Japan in life expectancy rankings on Saturday December 29, 2018 @11:07PM (#18787314)
I beg to differ as if we were to judge purely based on this logic China and India would have probably also been at the top of the curve, which is not really true. Both of these countries greatly value family and it's quite typical for people to stay with their parents well into 30's and beyond.
Re:Building blocks of life found on Mars on Friday June 08, 2018 @12:26AM (#17262583)
It's becoming a bit hard to keep track of organic possibilities outside of earth. Every day brings new discoveries. I wonder if most might ignore a significant one some day.
Re:People Start Hating Their Jobs at Age 35 on Tuesday August 22, 2017 @04:16PM (#15075991)
Do you mind sharing the domain in which your wife's company is involved in (assuming you don't want to share the name of the company)?
Please don't use quotes when you're not quoting verbatim from the article. The author is clearly just suggesting a path forward for Indian companies to maintain a stream of revenue going forward. Nowhere did he suggest that India is an expert in industrial robotics, he's just suggesting the country could explore that as an option.
Seriously don't understand the point of this story other than the implied racist undertones. Why is it important to highlight the nationality of the students in the title, when the failure is clearly on the part of the university admissions office for not vetting the student applications/GRE scores etc prior to having them fly in. The nationality just happens to be related to the country where the recruiters looked in. I bet they would have found equally unqualified candidates in any other country, but it's far easier to go to India where just by the way of shear numbers you can swoop in a lot more interested candidates in a much shorter time period.
Re:First Friendly Contact with the Sentinelese on Tuesday May 17, 2016 @11:47AM (#11714593)
The article gives both description and photographic proof of the contact with the sentinelese people.
Re:First Friendly Contact with the Sentinelese on Tuesday May 17, 2016 @11:46AM (#11714576)
If this really was the first successful contact, I don't quite understand how the language of these people is the same as/similar to other Andaman island/Indian languages. Context: "Nariyali Jaba Jaba".
My gut says that it's because the brands have gotten used to a fatter margin/profits, but then I'm no expert.
Re:Show HN: Import Docker in Python and Run Anything on Tuesday February 23, 2016 @09:05PM (#11163983)
Or, if you have docked installed on a system anyway why not just use docker-py (docker's python bindings) directly to run stuff in containers?
Re:Samsung’s Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge on Monday February 22, 2016 @11:57AM (#11152248)
I have come to quite like the split pane and app resize features that others talked about. As per the bloatware that came with my s6 edge, I disabled most of those apps the very first day and haven't run into any problems because of that. My phone's battery life is very much comparable to my girlfriend's iPhone 6s, both of which last us through a full day with average use. The only difference being that because I have the s6, I get the Ultra power saving mode though which if turned on at 3% charge or so let's me make/receive calls, text/whatsapp my friends, browse the interwebs, Facebook and Twitter for another 8-10 hours.
How long does it take for researchers to extract DNA samples and compare it against the current population's samples? Maybe I'm being naive here but shouldn't that be a quick enough analysis? This research is going to help answer some very interesting questions.
Re:More than 70 whale carcasses mysteriously washed ashore on Thursday January 14, 2016 @06:55PM (#10905840)
There have been no logical conclusions yet as to why so many whales would just wash ashore a beach and die because they got trapper. It is almost like a planned mass-suicide. It is said that some animals have a sixth sense that warns them of an oncoming natural disaster (unnatural increase in bird sounds a few minutes before an earthquake), but could this be attributed to that? Only time will tell.

There are other conspiracy theorists who suspect some underwater nuclear testing that may have led to this catastrophe.
