c0brac0bra··on Ask HN: When were flagged submissions/comments added to the profile page?
Same here. I assumed flagging was something that required a certain amount of reputation. I've never even purposefully tried to see how to flag something, and I have 4 submissions flagged.
c0brac0bra··on Ask HN: What topics are good for a UI/UX Primer?
I'm a big fan of Kathy Sierra's "Badass: Making Users Awesome" [1]

Less about UI but really focused on what users feel and how they experience what you build.

I believe Stack Overflow has moderator elections but I've never participated.

> every midwestern city of any size is violent as fuck. STL, KC, Indy, Chicago, OKC

If there's nothing there, why are they so violent? Answer: they really aren't. If you've lived in a midwestern city you'd know that there are areas that have more violence (like probably any city) than others, but I would wager that proportionally they're much smaller compared to outlying metro areas than larger cities.

c0brac0bra··on NPR cancels 4 podcasts amid major layoffs
Interesting, I was very close to posting the same thing but figured it was just me.
c0brac0bra··on UK: Food inflation rises to 18.2% as it hits highest rate in over 45 years
Well we saw extreme disruption in the supply of fertilizer and some extremely poor growing seasons in some bread basket reasons around the world simultaneously, if I recall correctly (which I might not be).
c0brac0bra··on Bloom's 2 sigma problem
Makes me think of the book in Diamond Age.
c0brac0bra··on DocuSign to lay off 10% of its workforce, or about 700 employees
On what basis would you conclude that "now" is not "soonest", other than conjecture?
c0brac0bra··on Stripe is wrongly suspending accounts
How does HN feel about Braintree?
c0brac0bra··on Evernote to be acquired by Bending Spoons
I wish the UI/UX for Obsidian was better. It takes just long enough to search for a note that I want to edit that I end up just putting quick stuff in Google Keep due to its ease of use.
c0brac0bra··on Why I use Jellyfin for my home media library
This is like worlds colliding. I only know Jeff Geerling because he apparently wrote every Ansible role in existence.
c0brac0bra··on Phantom forests: Ambitious tree planting projects are failing
This may be unpopular on HN, but that's what Allan Savory has advocated for, along with rotational (holistic in his words) grazing of ruminants.
c0brac0bra··on What to read to understand central banking
As Tom Woods would say: "Only the views listed on this 3x5 index card of respectability are allowed."
c0brac0bra··on Ask HN: What are the best tools for web scraping in 2022?
I have used the Apify SDK (now https://crawlee.dev/) in the past and found it very useful.

The state ceases to be responsible to the people and exists of and for itself.
c0brac0bra··on On $600B of Y Combinator startup success
Not at these prices.
c0brac0bra··on Lawn mowing frequency affects bee abundance and diversity (2018)
Perhaps they're fertilizing and you're not.
c0brac0bra··on Ask HN: Books to read when you transform from SWE into SWE Management?
$230 on Amazon. Several books have been recommended that are no longer in print and are incredibly expensive for used copies. I'd be interested to know the reason behind this. If they're so useful, why aren't they in print?
c0brac0bra··on Ask HN: Which open source versions of SaaS products would you like to see?
This project literally bills itself as an OSS Airtable alternative, so maybe? I've only tinkered with it: https://www.nocodb.com/
c0brac0bra··on Separating urine from sewage could mitigate some environmental problems
Excellent book on the topic of "humanure": https://www.amazon.com/Humanure-Handbook-4th-Shit-Nutshell/d...

I'm pulling for "RickyDB"
c0brac0bra··on Reasons Kubernetes is so complex
tilt is a local development tool for containerized apps that handles things like file watching, auto-rebuilds, etc. It can do k8s, multiple docker-compose setups, whatever. We've liked it so far: https://tilt.dev/

c0brac0bra··on Airbreak.dev: Jailbreak your CPAP machine to turn them into ventilators
CPAPs control the amount of air by measuring backpressure AFAIK.
c0brac0bra··on Apache Pulsar is an open-source distributed pub-sub messaging system
However it currently lacks the ability to listen for messages and run an event handler when one comes in: https://github.com/apache/pulsar-client-node/pull/56

You have to manually call ".receive()" to attempt to receive a message.

c0brac0bra··on A Medieval Grape Is Still Used to Make Wine
I would think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aglianico would be older still.
c0brac0bra··on Salesforce is buying Tableau for $15.7B
Mostly. It costs $300/mo to remove their branding badge from embeds.
c0brac0bra··on Ask HN: App or service for linkable, “watch-later” video messages/screenshares?
I started working on a service like this, but more from the business website side: https://vidleads.co

I've been meaning to redo it a bit, with a simple shareable link to record and share like you said. Maybe now would be a good time!
