jorisboris··on Ask HN: Is your M1 Battery draining significantly faster in last week?
I don’t use notes, but I’ll check activity monitor, thanks!
jorisboris··on Where in the USA is this?
noob question, but which frameworks would you recommend to use instead?

I'm using React because it's easy to re-use components. Which alternatives are there for that?

jorisboris··on Ask HN: Do you think your newborns will go to university?
I went to a mainstream university for my engineering degree.

And to a top-5 business school for my MBA.

I agree that the brand of the latter is massively important in opening doors, and I believe these high end brands will remain valuable.

I'm mostly wondering whether the 5 years spent to obtain an engineering degree were useful, I can't imagine my daughter spending 5 years to obtain a degree when she turns 18.

jorisboris··on Ask HN: Which book has had the most meaningful contribution in your life?
Gentleman in Moscow.

Despite being fiction, it sets the standard for elegance and charm.

Suffering from recency bias though, as I read it recently.

jorisboris··on Show HN: HN Resume to Jobs – AI Powered Job Matching Tailored to Your Resume
Was thinking the same, if this could extract my profile from LinkedIn.
jorisboris··on Ask HN: If you were suddenly Financially free, what would you do next?
Send my kid to international school :)
jorisboris··on Ask HN: How do you not take criticism of your work personally?
Never forget it's just some person's opinion. You can accept or reject it.

I used to get a lot of negative feedback from my boss, every week it was something else. Turns out he was going through a bad period. I switched bosses and everything was fine. It sucks when it's your boss, but it's still only a personal opinion of one person.

jorisboris··on Tell HN: Putting mirrors around my desk improved my posture
Slightly related, I sometimes open an empty meeting with camera on to see my face reflected to me.

It surprising how often I catch myself yawning, leaning on my hand, picking my nose, looking grumpy, ...

jorisboris··on YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers
I would probably pay if it was a standalone service with an easy sign up.

But somehow everything that I have to do through Google makes me cringe the amount of friction I'll have to go through. Unclear whether this perception is justified, as I never even tried to sign up to YouTube Premium (though intended often).

jorisboris··on Qantas is bringing back Airbus A380s from the California desert
Yes, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Lufthansa a380 in BKK. (Though not 100% sure)

Both HKG and BOM are there!

Combined with a bug, the geocode api made costs explode. So I took it out.

It's back online.

If you get JFK first and Changi second it's more than an evening sorted :D
jorisboris··on Show HN: Random Aerial Airport Views
Trying to bring it back online but I had a bug on my Google Maps api and costs exploded
jorisboris··on Show HN: Random Aerial Airport Views
OP here, I killed it. Maps and Geocoding costs were exploding, I didn't expect this. Thanks for your support, I'll have to improve it in a leaner way!

Thanks for the feedback, Mountain Air doesn't have an ICAO code, so I had to use a workaround. Clearly it isn't working ....

Added Seattle, Oakland and Boston. Checking for MHT, MKE.

I actually think the Bond one is the Pyrenees one, they even renamed it to 007 airport or something like that. It’s from Tomorrow Never Dies.
jorisboris··on Show HN: Random Aerial Airport Views
Yes, I’ve had that problem myself as well. I’ve built it in React and frankly I don’t know how to make the ‘return’ button work. But there is a solution for everything!
jorisboris··on Show HN: Random Aerial Airport Views
Yes, the thought came up but didn’t implement yet. Thanks for the feedback.
jorisboris··on Show HN: Random Aerial Airport Views
Yes, thinking of adding filters to be able to zoom in to cities of regions. Thanks for the feedback!
jorisboris··on Show HN: Random Aerial Airport Views
Thanks for the feedback, it’s a relatively small selection for the moment, only ~60 airports.

And I don’t take the ones a user has seen out of the queue.

jorisboris··on Show HN: Random Aerial Airport Views
Pure vanity, I like to have an idea how many visitors I had

Edit: I realize my previous comment isn’t accurate, i want to tracker visitor numbers, not visitors specifically

jorisboris··on Show HN: Random Aerial Airport Views
I live in Thailand so I added a couple of Thai airports, proximity bias I guess
jorisboris··on Show HN: Random Aerial Airport Views
I got the impression it could be expensive because it seems I just got billed a ~100 usd. Any way to work around this?
jorisboris··on Show HN: Random Aerial Airport Views
Only using it to track visitors, and didn’t have time to dive deep into an alternative

If you know an alternative to Google, would be happy to switch!

jorisboris··on Show HN: Random Aerial Airport Views
It only has a select number of airports now. Which one is your home airport, I’ll add it?
jorisboris··on Show HN: Random Aerial Airport Views
Thanks for the feedback, didn't think about this.

I hope they consider it good marketing, given that their logo is watermarked in all pics.

I'll keep an eye on traffic in the meantime.

jorisboris··on Show HN: Random Aerial Airport Views
Thanks for the feedback, zooming is the only way currently. I could add the ICAO code somewhere in the UI.
