The two most bike-friendly cities in the US (Minneapolis and Portland) are not on or near the coast.

Any "best schools" ranking will show you that at least 7 out of the first 10 districts are not in coastal cities.

I'm not sure where you've lived before or if you have family or kids to have researched this matter seriously but the US offers a lot of choice depending on where you are in life and how you want to live it.

Discarding half the country as a "desolate wasteland" can only narrow your options in life.

Interesting. Can you give some examples of things you take for granted in a costal city that you don't get in a major non-coastal one?

what does "local infrastructure" mean here? because I know schools, for instance, are way worse in coastal cities with high taxes than, say, the midwest.

You don't know how good you have it with composer until you try other package managers.
ralfhn··on Screen time: how much is too much?
My 5yrs old does exactly the same. We restricted video games to only Saturdays so now he watches random people play video games on youtube all week. We're going to ban Youtube as well at least during the weekdays.
ralfhn··on Show HN: Posthook – Job Scheduling as a Service
This is neat, nice work OP.

I haven't seen this mentioned yet but you could leverage Zapier.com for this type of work. They have a "schedule" app you can pipe it into an outgoing webhook to achieve the same result.

It's pretty powerful. for example, at work, we wanted to run a specific task at different times: nightly, after deploys, and using a slack command. This was all achieved using 3 Zaps (Zapier apps) and it took no more than 30 minutes for the whole thing.

You could leverage Zapier to do this. Their pricing suggests you can make two-step Zaps for free and that's all you'd need.

Step 1 - schedule Step 2 - outgoing webhook

It takes all of 5 minutes to set things up but we have a pro account so I haven't tried the free tier yet.
