Interesting findings. Might need a way to downsample images on upload to keep costs down.

Show HN: I Cut GitHub Notification Noise by over 90% Using Gmail Filters

https://www.tglyn.ch/blog/reducing_github_noise_email_solution/

I found that most GitHub notification emails weren’t useful to me, so I set up Gmail filters and Multiple Inboxes to separate the noise from what actually matters. I found that most GitHub notification emails weren’t useful to me, so I set up Gmail filters and 'multiple inboxes' to separate the noise from what I actually need to see.It’s surprising how much irrelevant email GitHub generates,...

This is a really fun combination of tech and music. I don't see why it has to stop at just drums though!

I’m a big fan of glitch as well, so it’s very impressive you have built the same yourself. Do you self host the server and are there any limitations on languages you can use?
Hi, these are also my favourite things. OP, yourself and myself should start a club.
Re:CheekyKeys: A Face-Controlled Keyboard on Wednesday April 26, 2023 @10:50PM (#35722745)
As an able bodied person, I see potential in mapping some of these to specific regular actions, rather than individual key presses. Using this, along with dictation and a keyboard/mouse combo could save a lot of time.

Why purchase a racing simulator cockpit or steering wheel when you've already got a perfectly good one at home!?

Re:Australia's Weird Little Time Zone on Wednesday October 26, 2022 @11:38PM (#33352782)
A group of 213 people have their own timezone.

I think this is more about the population in the sliver, than the size of the sliver itself. Using NASA's population estimation site [1] it estimates a population of 213.

Hey this is really cool - one suggestion - I had a lot of trouble watching the example video I think due to the microphone you've used. I had to close it because i couldn't stand the sound of the saliva in your mouth haha. So perhaps edit the audio, i'm sure there's a way to filter out those sounds.

In tumultuous times (fix wasn't implemented at this point), the Cloudflare CTO still has time for some wit. Love it!
UPDATE: Got the email 2 hours ago
I didn't get the notice - heroku account from August 2019 that I haven't used since then.

I've come across your site before - I think you might need to rebrand though, your name is more likely to imply a car workshop tracker than cycling workout planning

Had a couple of pieces on my blog already feature on HN

Though I think some articles may need an update due to dead video links

Does anyone know if there is a map app that allows the user to change route weighting options?

For example, as a cyclist who enjoys riding both gravel roads and low traffic sealed roads, I'd like to be able to weight these types of roads above bike paths and main roads.

I've been looking for something like this for a while but I'd also be willing to build something out if say mapbox or another mapping platform has the options to allow route weighting. Does anyone know if this is the case?

Yeah agreed. My comment was tongue in cheek copying a comment from the Depop sale thread on HN yesterday.
Re:Stack Overflow sold to Prosus for $1.8B on Thursday June 03, 2021 @12:16AM (#27377164)
Reading the headline "<Business I've never heard of> selling for $<N>bn" is become an increasingly common occurrence for me

In my opinion, the most important thing is that it is considerably better for the environment due to the reduction in emissions, water and land. Don't get me wrong, no violence against animals is a benefit too, but to me it's not the number one reason to try imitation meat.

Hi Dang, well done on getting some of the software done! I think this is a great addition.
