Ok nevermind, it showed up, but took longer than I expected.

I was excited to sign up for this. But, I never got your verification email, so I can't sign up. That should be your bread and butter.

This. I have mine set to run the fan 15 min every hour. Circulates air nicely.

They don’t block much more noise but they’re much more comfortable
Re:OpenAI Should Build Slack on Saturday February 14, 2026 @04:34PM (#47018615)
Teams suffers from one giant problem. There is a totally odd, but understandable from tech debt perspective, segregation between “chats” and “teams” which makes it practically impossible to find everything. It’s a fatal flaw. Slack is beautifully simple and effective in comparison. Also, the reminder feature on slack is extremely useful to me personally and I miss it dearly in teams.

When I was meditating regularly I found this easier to do. I had the presence of mind to notice I was rushing and slow down and focus on the details. I need to start meditating again.
It’s not pushy at all imo
Re:Ask HN: How can I get better at using AI for programming? on Saturday December 13, 2025 @07:21PM (#46259608)
Same thing happens every time a new hire joins the team. Lots of documentation is stale and needs updating as they onboard.

100% this. There is a wonderful book called The Dorito Effect that goes into this in more detail.
Learning Elixir and Phoenix and getting the hang of functional programming. What a pleasure.
Re:Ask HN: Doom and Gloom but financial markets doing well? on Saturday March 23, 2024 @09:42AM (#39799875)
I’m currently reading Broken Money by Lyn Alden and it has given me a much improved perspective about why things like this are the way they are as a consequence of history and monetary policy. Very interesting.
Re:Ask HN: What browser are you using? on Monday December 18, 2023 @12:48PM (#38685753)
Spaces I suppose. Very easy, clean work/personal separation. That and the bookmark/tab conflation thing they're doing is actually kind of nice once you get used to it. Oh, and sync'ing cross device is nice as well.

I don't use any of the easel or boost stuff. I'd prefer if they stop working such silly things and focus on bringing their mobile app up to par but seems like they'll get there.

I tried Arc a few months back and quickly decided to give it a go as a primary browser. It’s quite nice.
Clicking this link changed my Amazon app location to UK and I can’t figure out how to change it back! Thx for the recc though.

Yea

The part I like lost about the peek feature is when it happens elsewhere in the OS. I click a link in outlook or iMessage and I pops up right there in context without jumping all the way to my browser. ESP nice for unsubscribe links in emails.
Speak for yourself? I personally find I’m much more productive with elixir/phoenix and the end result is much more performant. (I say this having built multiple large projects with rails in the past)
Elixir/Phoenix is wonderful. Worth a look.
It’s def a solid option esp. if you’re very familiar with it already.

But, I think Elixir/Phoenix beats it handily at this point for someone starting from scratch with either one or that is willing to spend a week or two learning something new.

Can I use styled components with Tamagui?
podcastnotes.org has a popular weekly mailer that summarizes interesting ideas from recent podcast episodes. (Disclaimer: I'm the tech guy at PN)
A song stuck in my head can make me restless all night as well.

One fix I’ve found that often works for me is listening to instrumental jazz every night before bed. It’s variable/random enough that it knocks the stuck song out of my mind without replacing it with another. Search for “jazz for sleep” playlists, there are a few decent ones out there.
