Gertig··on Show HN: I started treasure hunt in Blue Ridge. It's Day 7. Prize is up to $36k+
Did the raccoon on the trail camera steal any of the gold coins? lol

This is super fun.

Gertig··on Ask HN: Am I getting older or did typing on the iPhone become unbearable?
I have completely been feeling the same thing, but for me it's been more pronounced on iOS 16.

Also, iOS 16's change in dictation UX is quite frustrating given I was trained that it would stop listening after long pauses and it no longer does that.

Curious why was this prior post flagged? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28789838
Gertig··on Show HN: Create, organize, and share AI images with Accomplice
Love seeing the variety and creativity in prompts and what they generate. Truly addicting.
Gertig··on Ask HN: How Do You Learn?
This question reminded me of one of my favorite pg essays title "How You Know" http://www.paulgraham.com/know.html which is generally about how you acquire and retain information over time. A great short read if you have not done so before.
Gertig··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2021)
This looks like a great opportunity!
Gertig··on Launch YC S21: Meet the Batch, Thread #4
This looks really great! Would have loved something like this a couple of years ago before rolling our own, this would have saved so much time and effort.

Borrowing a lot of LaunchDarkly's playbook for feature flagging will serve you well here. Server Sent Events and providing a self host-able "relay proxy"[1] will be extremely valuable in terms of perf and redundancy.

Gertig··on Who is the greatest knife steel metallurgist of all time?
As someone who has made their own knife from scratch(ish) this channel is gold!
Gertig··on When you type realty.com into Safari it takes you to realtor.com
Just the word "realty" (and "realty.com") sends me to "realtor.com"
Gertig··on Show HN: Wrk – we built a simple and affordable way to hire
Lot's of great things built in, but one that this community might find interesting is that we are leaning heavily on Markdown for note taking in the app.
Gertig··on Kanban for E-Mail
This looks nice and kudos to the team (Ethan) behind it for shipping it!

I have tried similar tools in the past that convert Gmail into a Kanban board (https://www.sortd.com/ and https://www.dragapp.com) and have not had much success with that method of triaging emails. Perhaps it's a personal failing of my own.

Gertig··on Show HN: Realm (YC S11), a mobile database
RubyMotion is Objective-C under some thin covers so it seems like it would be relatively straightforward to have it work with Realm without a lot of extra trouble.
Gertig··on Engineer invents safe way to transfer energy to medical chips in the body
This is the future of "Wearables"! Combining them with implants to provide truly valuable data about your body and allowing them to deliver targeted medical treatment. So very exciting.

Agreed, when the evidence is overwhelming we can operate as such while always remembering that our knowledge and understanding may be limited or flawed.

Having NdGT doing the work he is doing is far better than not because it gives us more opportunity to think.

Science does not hold any less grey than does Philosophy. It is every generation's folly to believe that our facts are the facts.

This excites me very very much!

I agree with the premise but not the justification you use. I see the opposite at work, where the submitter is changing the intent of the author.

Sidenote: Why would someone down vote this parent comment?
