gtm1260··on $9.99/month
Ever start a trial and forget to cancel? I've found that's where a lot of mine came from. I think its a pretty universal experience.
gtm1260··on $9.99/month
Can I say, just having the transaction merchant name converted to a more human readable version makes it worth it in and of itself (there are probably some free services that do this).
gtm1260··on $9.99/month
Highly recommend an app like truebill or something that analyzes your bank account! I found subscriptions to things I had totally forgot about etc. and saved a significant amount of money right away.
gtm1260··on Vite – Next Generation Front End Tooling
The negativity about the annoying landing page is fair enough, but vite is actually awesome to work with as a dev! I've been using it as a dev server for sveltekit, its performance claims are very true.
gtm1260··on BrachioGraph – the cheapest, simplest possible pen-plotter
"simplest" in the sense of the simplest bill of materials, but definitley not a simple path towards plotting an image. Anyone who's tried to build one of these and actually have it plot reasonably well will know that it's super fiddly to get working.

I'd save my time and just buy a proper axidraw, if you actually want to plot anything.

gtm1260··on Hexwords: Hex colors that are similar to words
Ya'll are missing my favorite one, although I guess its technically two words. "Dad CEO": #dadce0
gtm1260··on Ask HN: Co-Founder pivoting, what are my options?
If you truly believe in them, as a person, irregardless of their new idea, I would stick together and find a way to make it work.
gtm1260··on M2 MacBook Air
M2, magsafe, and 500 nits peak brightness? Insta-buy for me.
gtm1260··on Walmart – drone delivery to six states this year
I really want this but somehow I know that SF will be one of the last places to allow this type of service.
gtm1260··on Don't Buy a Yeti
What is the point of this? The alternative mic listed is 250$, whereas a blue yeti can be had for 90$ at bestbuy right now. So if you spend more you get a better mic. I don't think anyone was convinced that the yeti was the best mic you could get, just the best one for the price.
gtm1260··on Ask HN: Chrome says I have 83 compromised passwords. How do I fix this?
Not 83 different passwords, 83 sites with the same, compromised password. I know, I know, horrible security, but I do believe its what the majority of people do!
gtm1260··on Starlink adds $25/month to let users move their internet around
Aside from the hurdle of actually getting your hands on one of these things! LOL.
gtm1260··on Inside the longest Atlassian outage
Right? The way this reads it seems like one person set a flag incorrectly, something I'm sure we've all done numerous times. And there were no checks down the line to catch it.
gtm1260··on NYC allows citizens to report idling vehicles in exchange for a cut of the fines
What I don't understand is that the truck drivers are here delivering packages to help the citizens! Like I want my amazon driver to not be harassed when delivering stuff to my house, and I want restaurants and business around me to be resupplied easily so I can go to them.

The consequences you mention, feel more like a consequence of us demanding X amount of goods in our cities each day, and having no other infrastructure to get them there besides trucks, than the drivers individual malfeasance.

gtm1260··on Show HN: HN Avatars in 357 bytes
Howdy Ya'll!
gtm1260··on Apple Mac Studio
Since M1 pretty much.
gtm1260··on Amazon to close all of its physical bookstores and '4-star' shops
Bummer! The bookstores are pretty nice, and the 4-star shops were so useful for the bizarre, algorithmically curated collection of product they contained. I remember pre-pandemic, I needed a ir thermometer and a gift wrapped coffee table book, randomly popped into my local 4-star (soho) and it had everything.
gtm1260··on Ian Cutress leaves Anandtech
Oh man I wonder how long till we get companies paying for 'LTT Labs approved' on their products.
gtm1260··on How illiterate people use their mobile phones (2012)
This reminded me why I loved my retail job, but I think its partially because I was retail inside an amusement park: I missed out on most of the BS (people were generally very happy to be there/ having a great day).
gtm1260··on Silenced AirTags with disabled speakers are popping up for sale online
There are plenty of trackers, but they require monthly subscriptions!
gtm1260··on Over-reliance on CGI in movies
I'm not sure I 100% buy this argument. Like yes, objectively the creature work in the new star wars lacks the weight and realness of the original puppets, or even those used in the Mandelorian.

But we've also got to see the world of starwars in an absolutely incredible new way! x Wings skimming over the water with incredible camera angles, spectacular space explosions, realistic lightsabers that spark and have volume (sword fighting choreography aside).

gtm1260··on YouTube’s new censorship tactic is to limit streams that are too popular
This only applies to new live streams, likely due to moderation and copyright concerns! Many platforms will have systems like this to prevent spam.
gtm1260··on I turned a failing coffee blog into a $1M exit by focusing
Similar to the posts on the actual coffee blog in question.
gtm1260··on “I am literally losing sleep” over Java (1996)
My mind goes to the original Arduino IDE, or Weka Studio. I know these are pretty indie projects in the scheme of things, but still.
gtm1260··on “I am literally losing sleep” over Java (1996)
One of the biggest turn off to me of java has always been the poor quality of many java apps. Especially on mac, you know when its a java app vs native.
gtm1260··on Best Practices for Securing SSH
Is there any simple, secure by default alternative to ssh?
gtm1260··on DIY Onewheel – open-source self balancing skateboard
Skeptical at first but this thing looks pretty sweet. Total BOM estimated at ~700$, and similar performance to the 2500$ onewheel XR it seems!
gtm1260··on FIA boss: Electric F1 racing is 'simply not possible'
This is true simply because Formula E has the exclusive right from the FIA for open wheeled, single seater electric racing for the next 10 years.
gtm1260··on Tips For Making a Popular Open Source Project in 2021
Maybe the next great library is sitting somewhere without a good readme so nobody goes on it /s
gtm1260··on Unity is buying Peter Jackson’s Weta Digital for $1.6B
Yeah I hope the continue making films. One of the best out there!
