snug··on The worst volume control UI in the world (2017)
I think it works great, press and slide left or right (no need to lift your finger if that's what you're referring to)

I'm pretty happy with all the free youtube content, search engine results, email, storage, word processor, spreadsheet, slide shows, messaging, and more I get

snug··on Show HN: I made a community sourced fitness routine database
It depends on what your goals are, lower reps with heavier weights will give you more strength. Higher reps with lighter weights will give you bigger muscles.

Also your blog points to a couple of generic blog post.

snug··on Linux Terminal Tools [pdf]
Ahh nice, yeah, that works, I always just assumed I needed to hit ESC first, but didn't know they didn't need to be held at the same time
snug··on Linux Terminal Tools [pdf]
Thanks, i'm using iTerm2, which seems to have an experimental feature for repeat previous character escape sequence enabled by default, but doesn't really work that well, I suspect it's the touchbar escape key that doesn't play too nicely to the hold

edit: I'm dumb, that was for iTerm, I got it working!

The secret that I never see brought up on any of the linux command line tools is "esc + ." - It's by far one of the most valuable tricks I've learned, it will insert the last thing from the last command

ls /foo/bar/this_is_the_file.txt

cat "esc + ."

which expands to

cat /foo/bar/this_is_the_file.txt

snug··on Trust in blockchain-based systems
How do you trust all of them?
snug··on Trust in blockchain-based systems
Usually in person voting is done through a machine. Where as vote by mail is a paper ballet
snug··on Trust in blockchain-based systems
Mail in voting? Early voting last for up to 2 months. That doesn't scale to 100M votes
snug··on Trust in blockchain-based systems
Can you guarantee the supply chain, and the people watching every vote?

snug··on Is Being Salaried a Scam?
What?! Of course nobody thinks that, but they have the power to influence the people that do have the power to get more budget, that is part or their job!

Seems a bit shady if say I use a refillable gift card for certain services that are hard to cancel
snug··on Launch HN: Charge Running (YC W21) – Social running app with real-time coaching
Do it! I started running again at the beginning of the year, after 2 years of trying to get back into it. The first few weeks really sucked, but now I can't wait for my run days. I really wanna run on more days but don't want to turn myself again.

I started 1 1/2 miles 2 days per week.

I'm up to 3 miles 3 days per week.

snug··on Launch HN: Charge Running (YC W21) – Social running app with real-time coaching
Again, I do like your concept, so I'm only being critical because I'd like to try, but there are two things holding me back

1. I have to enter my credit card for a 7 day trial

2. then I have to email you to cancel it within 7 days. I should be able to hit a button

There should be a free trial, no credit card.

I'm usually one to get the annual subscription on services, so I would get that here, but like a gym, i can't cancel after 7 days if I don't think I'm getting value, and I think this type of service would take more than a week to know if it's valuable. $10 more per month for monthly seems steep.

I'm putting this in the perspective of Gym membership costs, idk if other people think the same way.

snug··on Retracing a Donner Party path, nearly two centuries later
I learned about the Donner party a few years ago when I stumbled upon the Donner Pass when I quit my job and just took road trips around NorCal and PNW for 2 months. If you ever get a chance, I highly recommend taking the Donner Pass trail near Truckee, CA (near Lake Tahoe for those not familiar). And if you can do it during the snowy winter, a huge plus!

snug··on Launch HN: Charge Running (YC W21) – Social running app with real-time coaching
I've also gotten back into running and love, I look forward to my runs, but gyms offer much more in the sense that you get access to equipment.

Running is cheap, and I happily pay for the nice things I use to run. $200 shoes every few months, no problem. $60/year for strava to track my goals, runs, best time, and be competitive with my friends, gladly pay that.

Paying $100 for a 3 months training program in person is different than a large group virtual training program for about the same price. IMO the economy at scales should make this app much cheaper.

I guess I also just don't understand how this works as there's not really any good videos, or demos on what exactly a session looks like. On the flip side of that, to cancel the trial you have to email them

How do you guarantee the coach is going to give me value? As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem like a cap on the number of people in any group, there could be a dozen or a few hundred. What is the coaches value to me if I'm one of the few hundred people in a group?
