I was just coming on to say this.

I live somewhere where travelling by train is limited to basically local journeys, but love when I see this site get mentioned anywhere, because it reminds me of what the internet can be!

Re:Ask HN: Any tips to improve word recall? on Monday February 26, 2024 @11:29AM (#39513232)
Something I've been doing recently that has really helped me find the right word faster is using flashcards.

One side will say "Explain the concept of x" and the other side be a paragraph or so of the concept.

I use both sides, so I will look at the abstract and try and remember the "x" naming word for it.

I don't think how you do, however I do often learn things in my own way, describing things internally using the "wrong" terms, This helps me link my internal thought processes to correct terms faster.

I'm excited to see the articles they produce.

I was a bit disapointed to see their RSS feed doesn't let you read the posts in your reader of choice.

Just some generic "click here to read more" descriptions and massive images.

I get that they're wanting to to sponsored stuff and for that they need stats and what have you, but I expected a bit better.

The "U" part is hard to talk about without actual users using it though. Which is hard to do pre-html.
Re:Ask HN: What was your best passive income in 2018? on Sunday November 18, 2018 @08:26AM (#18480256)
When I was about 16 I collated a load of information on looking after your bearded dragon and sold the eBook on eBay - maybe made around £150 overall. I was chuffed at the time.

I have three sources of decent (return on effort put in) passive income this year.

- Membership fees and sponsored posts on https://thefootytipster.com (I maintain the WP site, but no real ongoing work) (roughly £300 per month)

- Advertising on my tech blog https://tosbourn.com (roughly £30 per month)

- Advertising on https://howoldistheinter.net (roughly £15 per month) - zero effort put into this once made and one redesign

I'm hoping to grow https://cbdscores.com over the next few months and add it to the list.
