High-end eMTB bikes that are stolen in western Europe end up here in eastern Europe, the usual retail price is around the 1000-3000 euro mark, that's less than half their original price for bikes in almost new condition.

There are dedicated organizations that do these runs across Europe, to keep a low profile a wan with only 4 bikes will cross the border at a time.

The profits must be good enough to keep selling the bikes at half the price and continue doing these runs.

Software developer with 9+ years of experience across various stacks, currently focusing on iOS development. Check out the website for some fun non-work-related hardware/software engineering challenges.

As a creator with some dead project(s) I feel horrified when I think how many hours I “wasted” on them.

But then again, I had to scratch those creative itches, I had to built those useless things, they made me what I’m today, a more experienced, tired and inching closer to a break from software engineering.

The problem with those types of breakpoints is that they slow down the app considerably. Put one of those in a tight loop and the timing related bug you're after could be gone.

TE hit the nail on the head with their designs, don't quite know what's about them that makes them so fun. On the contrary, my serious musician friends have little appreciation for their products, gave some PO as gifts and they've been gathering dust since.

Same here, it really put a spotlight on my mediocre endurance/general fitness level despite my best efforts to get out everyday for a bike ride.

Nice! It reminded me of this great little synth powered parasitically from the MIDI port.

Got an eMTB 8 month ago, visited places in my local area that didn’t even know existed. No weather is too bad for going outside for a ride anymore. Cops stopped me once asking what I was doing outside on a bike in freezing rain, suspected drug smuggling.

Software engineer with 7+ years experience, the last two years I mostly worked on backend systems and internal tools. Can adapt to any niche stack if needed and the project/product seems to be an interesting one.

The App Store is full of HN readers. However, this one is trying to be unique with some features of doubtful usefulness.

For some more context/retrospective, there’s a small blog post about the app: https://www.3am.engineering/works/metalens/

If we're talking about fixed wing drones in rural environments then it does makes sense. A good example of that is this drone delivery service in Rwanda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEbRVNxL44c

Can’t imagine having to write 100 articles a year for some kind of niche, lets take electric mountain bikes, most of the articles would have to be reviews of some kind and that means first getting your hands on them.

Maybe I’m missing something.

Finished Metalens v1.0, Hacker News iOS client with some extra bells and whistles.

Got into woodworking, it really helps with anxiety. Built some outdoor/patio furniture, got a few more tools and started doing some more advanced indoor stuff.

It’s a byproduct of the time travel feature, Its already there so why not display it?

Thank you, keep in mind Metalens is only for iPhones at the moment. iPad support is a bit lower on the priority list right now, I think it will be ready in 2 months or so.

This looks like something I had in mind a few months ago, but my idea morphed into an HN iOS app client with some extra bells and whistles, not published yet, needs a few more tweaks to pass the app store review.

Anyways this is great, thinking if I could integrate some features into the app.

This is a test reply please ignore it, it will be deleted in a few minutes.

Was tinkering with some hardware and synths, decided it might be fun to expand the teenage engineering's OP-Z synth capabilities a bit.

It was a fun and frustrating learning experience. First meh prototype with a Raspberry Pi Zero: https://victorbitca.github.io/posts/2019/04/creating-an-op-z...

Second prototype based on the Teensy board: https://victorbitca.github.io/posts/2019/06/a-proper-op-z-pl...

Generally agree, but I also need to drown out my coworkers. Found that NIN-Ghosts type of music to work the best, that repetitive/drony music gives me the space I need to think.
