Fine with me! I keep coming back here because the site is relatively un-cluttered. Thanks mods!

Agreed. Love the concept, but the knights definitely need clarity.

Wow, I haven't heard of Linkdup in a really long time! I used to read that every day!

I enjoyed the Heather Radke episode of the "You're Wrong About" podcast. They discuss the book "Butts: A Backstory", which I'm wrapping up here on the holiday break. Insightful stuff.

I see jvns.ca, I click. I am a simple person. I know that it'll probably be the best thing on HN that day.

I've been using ReadKit for Mac for several years. It's just an old-school native feed reader app, no services required!

I'm going to spend the rest of my Friday watching Happy Tree Friends.

I picked up a used Fossil FTW1166 smartwatch for $45 on eBay. It features a simple analog activity tracker, with just a plain-old dial like any other watch. There is no screen and no e-ink.

The lack of screen is awesome and I can't believe there aren't more watches out there like this!

Also, after 4 months of use the battery life is still around 100%.

And how does it compare to OSC (Open Sound Control)?

I grew up in an area of the Twin Cities metro area of Minnesota that has very high PFAS contamination from decades of 3M's dumping of chemicals. Would love to get one of these tests once available in Minnesota!

Network Link Conditioner rules. I pair it with `mitmproxy` for debugging native apps.

According to section 6.1 of the manual, it can be connected to an oscilloscope.

I live in Minnesota and the sun just came out in the beginning of May. I feel like I haven't felt real sun exposure since maybe October of last year. Let me tell you, I definitely take vitamin D supplements in the cold season!

As an aside, I also drink Mushroom Hero tea all winter. Love that stuff.

Everything Julia Evans publishes is great!

The Judean People’s Front. PSSHHH!

It's useful for documenting and testing large sets of APIs in a team-based environment, especially those that use a variety of authentication options.

Bad boys, bad boys whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

This is only conjecture, but could the increased legalization of cannabis in the United States lead to a change in alcohol sales?

This is really fun. My only wish is that I could see some information about the photos in the summary screen. Maybe a photographer credit or link to a Wikipedia?

1Password stores QR codes and syncs them across any device that has access to your vault. I highly recommend this solution if you're worried about losing access to your 2FA codes. It is also easy to back up.

I remember getting into the Monome ecosystem around 2005 (also a grid-based device) and being surprised by Tenori-on coming along and making something so visually similar. I guess grid-based tools feel natural to a lot of people!

I put my Aeropress coffee in a cocktail shaker, add ice, oat milk, and a tiny bit of maple syrup. Shake and pour. The result is awesome and much cheaper than the $7 iced latte you'll get at a coffee shop.

I love the Aeropress and have been rocking it since Obama's first term.

Even more so, 4-track cassette recorders exploded in price after Alessandro Cortini posted his Tascam process video a couple of years ago. The Portastudio I sold on a garage sale for $5 in 2010 goes for over $300 now!

Solo Stove bonfire pit. It burns so efficiently and is pretty much idiot proof. They work great here in Minnesota winters, and are nice when you have people over for parties and they throw crappy wood in there that would normally smoke a bunch. We've also had solo stoves out in the middle of the street for block parties. Highly recommend.

The results reads like an Onion article!

I used Dynobase for roughing out a DynamoDB project this year. It's the best and only real GUI for DynamoDB at this point. Many, many hours saved.

XDebug in PHPStorm. Can't live without it!

I use Blender's Python API for transforming 3d objects to render on my analog oscilloscope.
