thisisastopsign··on Zenreader: A 4.7" E-Ink RSS Reader
Does anybody have an idea how much this ESP32/M5Paper setup cost the author? Buying individual components ; not bulk
thisisastopsign··on The Problem with Git Flow
Sometimes I feel there should be a survey for Git methods and people vote on it. Repeat annually. Eventually we'll settle the debate
thisisastopsign··on Short Term Rental (2018)
Ya, I have a detached house. I’ve noticed the trend with HOAs being established by the builder. You’re right that there’s minimum shared property generally. Fortunately, every HOA I’ve been in has been good. On the other hand, I’ve looked in areas without HOAs and people didn’t take care of their property or yards, which drove their neighbor’s home value down (the deals seemed good enough to buy, until you drove up and saw your future neighbors).
thisisastopsign··on Show HN: Train a language model to talk like you
I’ve never used PyTorch before... is this running within my local machine, or is there some API in here that’s also sending data to Google to also train their models? Asking a privacy point-of-view..
thisisastopsign··on I Know What You Download
Well we have run out of IPv4 and ISPs aren’t in a hurry to adopt IPv6. Also, isn’t this common in apartment complexes?
thisisastopsign··on Short Term Rental (2018)
I have a rental property that is in an HOA and I rent it out. What are you inferring?
thisisastopsign··on A Murder over Mars? [video]
A video of reading a blog post? Why not just post the blog post directly?
thisisastopsign··on Ask HN: What are the best unknown books you have read?
> there is no objective logical foundation for differentiating between "me" and "not me": firstly, by showing that, given determinism, everyone/thing is part of a single unalterable process, and secondly, by showing that there is no single objective standard for drawing the line between a thing and the things around it.

I don’t see it. Does he address the fact that dozens of other philosophers over the years have argued the opposite?

> ultimately predictable consequences of the universe's creation, which if omniscient he should have foreseen.

Isn’t this just free will? Is that the nondeterminism that the author is ignoring?

thisisastopsign··on Crew Dragon launch escape demonstration
Congrats SpaceX team! I hope they post the view from the Crew Dragon vehicle of the Falcon 9 breaking up. That seems to be the one view that was missed (in addition to splashdown from the aircraft angle)
thisisastopsign··on Show HN: Stocks ordered by maximum profit for 2019
There was a post here recently that if you bought pretty much any stock last year, you wouldd profit, so I'm not sure what this is? Is this just if you bought one share on 1st Jan and sold on 31st Dec?
thisisastopsign··on Maine's giant spinning ice disc looks like it's reforming
Not really. Nature is full of beautiful symmetry
thisisastopsign··on Nototo – Build a unified mental map of notes
This is pretty cool, and I want to try it! but I was expecting it to be a paid Mac native app, not a web app behind a sign-up process... If you plan to keep it web-based, I'd encourage you to create a demo portal that doesn't require a signup. But I'd love a native app with export functionality (so I can use my own backups)!
thisisastopsign··on Technical Debt Is Like a Tetris Game
Might actually be the best metaphor I've seen on this topic

thisisastopsign··on iOS 13 app tracking alert has dramatically cut location data flow to ad industry
I plugged another device into my TV and use that for media streaming. I’ve never connected my TV to my network and haven’t had any issue
