Or worse, misaligned with the Terms of Service.

After wearing an Apple Watch for almost a decade, the F-91W became my new "never take off" watch. For daily use, the only thing I miss from a smartwatch is a weather+temp forecast complication. Interestingly, it doesn't seem like this F-B100W-1A provides that (yet).

It does. It'll also let you do cost basis adjustments just like TurboTax.

It's very easy. I've done this by accident. One of my side projects helps users price the affordability of a particular kind of product. When I ask various LLMs "can I afford X" or "how much do I need to earn to buy X", my project comes up as a source/reference. I currently manually crawl retailers for the MSRP so these numbers are usually months out of date!

Unfortunately not out of the box but the demo runs really well on M4 chips. It can be enabled as such (I'm on Sequoia): 1. Safari > Settings > Advanced > Show features for web developers 2. Develop > Feature Flags > Search for WebGPU

Safari Tech Preview may have it enabled by default.

My biggest concern with an online service is privacy (either bad actors or the web app getting hacked). I used an online mortgage service that was fully paperless with the exception of a single document. Just ran it through a few imagemagick commands to add rotation, noise, contrast, etc. My home printer wasn't working so it was either that or buy a whole new one.

This is an awesome tool! I created my own promo in Blender for a personal site project* some time ago and it was a real pain getting the screen content to render accurately and contrast well off of the device. Do you have any concerns with consistency across different devices/GPUs since you're doing everything client-side? Nice to see the attention to detail you put into this.

The Nature of Code book is a great resource. Dan also deep dives on specific topics on his YouTube channel.

After spending a month of nights and weekends building this I'm not sure whether to scrap it or continue working on it - possibly monetizing advanced features:

I would say Roughgarden's four CS Algorithms courses on Coursera are somewhat more advanced than CS50: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/algorithms

It covers foundational topics like asymptotic notation. However there is some reading required if you a C in high school calculus like me.

One trick is to apply as a specialist for a given role. During the interviews ask questions that give you a sense for how easy it is to generalize internally.

You can automate your resume-specialization by building a template in HTML, store role details in a DB (a JSON file would do), and generate unique PDFs with `weasyprint`. Something like `11ty` or `jekyll` makes this fairly doable.

Here are a few notation resources I've found helpful when teaching myself computer science:

- Mathematics for Computer Science: https://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.042/spring17/mcs.pdf

- Calculus Made Easy: http://calculusmadeeasy.org

Not directly related to your question but useful for interviews and programming puzzles nonetheless:

- Algorithms and Data Structures, The Basic Toolbox: https://people.mpi-inf.mpg.de/~mehlhorn/ftp/Mehlhorn-Sanders...

- Basic Proof Techniques: https://www.cse.wustl.edu/~cytron/547Pages/f14/IntroToProofs...

> Folktales were not originally for children.

I learned this the hard way. I purchased a beautifully made "Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales" to read to my then toddler. There are some particularly disturbing stories but I was surprised by how many were flat out nonsensical or silly (like The Story of a Boy Who Went Forth to Learn Fear [0]). It's fascinating to read these in their (translated) original form. Not your typical bedtime story.

Curious if you're being facetious or genuinely flummoxed but it looks like a poetry periodical published in the format of industrial freight.

This podcast has been around for a while but I recently discovered it and has become a personal favorite.

The purchasing analysis is interesting as it doesn't seem to take into account ads on mobile games.

Here's how I use this forecasting tool which has made it great for planning my bicycling commute in the Bay Area these past smoky days: 1) Enable the Near Surface Smoke layer under HRRR. 2) Click the timestamp at the bottom to switch to formatted date/time.

I used to rely heavily on pinboard.in but I noticed two things: most of my devices are iOS & MacOS (Safari & iCloud everywhere) and I almost never went back to re-read articles I had already read. So now I track everything through Reading List https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT200294 and prune as I read.

I do ask myself this every time I use one. Often, for me, the reward (convenience of getting home quickly or making the bus on time) is worth the risk (minor chance of getting ticketed or having an incident on a short trip). Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see if the enforcement of these rules will force customers like myself to stop using electric scooters until cities design better roads for these vehicles.

Totally agree. I live in the South Bay and occasionally ride a Bird scooter between the work bus and home. There's no way I'm riding on the bike lane without a helmet and I can't carry a helmet with me everywhere on the off chance a scooter is available. If anything characterizes drivers in this town it's their inattentiveness.

I think this is great. Hispanic families in the US would also benefit highly from non-predatory financial products. I spent a few months learning about investing and tried my best to pass that knowledge on to my family but it was challenging communicating the value of savings. Hope you have great success in Chile and are able to expand to other markets.

I've felt the same about Blender for years until I found this tutorial series: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjEaoINr3zgHs8uzT3yqe4i...

It teaches basic modeling and texturing but in a way where you start picking up on the shortcuts and interface slowly over the course. There's not much that's intuitive about the UI but it finally makes sense to me.

It's kind of crazy that, at least in the US, personal finance is not taught so much in grade school. I had to do a lot of reading and research now in my late twenties to figure out the best way to manage the RSUs I get at work and how to plan for a home purchase and retirement. It turns out (surprise) that most financial institutions don't have regular investors' best interest in mind. Instead, they see us as customers with value to siphon out over long periods of time.

Understanding how economies work[1], how financial service companies sell products, theories behind volatility and market forces, and how simple portfolio management can be goes a long way to improving an individuals ability to efficiently self-manage their finances.

I agree, but that won't happen until large tech organizations incentivize and reward maintenance work. See this related HN discussion about someone who left Google partly because they were not promoted for their documenting and bug-fixing efforts. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16483241

IANAL, but from what I understand in California, if a small claim is appealed a lawyer may represent on either side.

You couldn't get me to pay a cent for air now. But please let me know when the air futures exchange opens.

GPGPU in the browser. Some would say it's already here but not all browsers have a standardized API that facilitates it.

Curious what anyone thinks of this theory: each tech team should have two managers. One manages the people and the other manages the projects/technology.

Perhaps something involving potatoes.

I don't do much other than focus on driving in a calm manner. Close calls on the road lead to high stress throughout the day.
