Working from home I find it nearly impossible. Even using a standing desk, using the bathroom on the other floor instead of the one near me, trying not to ignore my watch when it says to get up and walk, etc... I'll often end up with l

I love the single ultra wide over two monitors. The only problem I have is when presenting. I need to show several apps at once but if I share my entire screen it obviously looks horrible for everyone else. The solution is to open my MacBoo

I've uninstalled Facebook and stopped reading / watching the news. I read HN and a few local subreddits via RSS. I do feel much better mentally. I would, however, like a way to be informed of breaking news. I tried a few apps but

I'm doing the same, but using Auth0 for the login-by-email. I don't think it'll really tie me to anything since it would be trivial to change to another service. What did you use to implement yours?

These companies are not the same and are not offering drugs at cost. I searched for a drug that I’m paying a ton for (even with insurance). Honeybee doesn’t have it, Blink quoted me $1,200. With insurance it’s $600, GoodRx let’s me get it f

I bought Batteries For Mac when my mouse died without warning. It's funny how much a simple little widget actually helps out.

Saying that cycling is dangerous because you are putting your life in the hands of car drivers isn't saying cycling is bad, it's saying cars are. This is a very American problem. I do hate driving on roads here, but when I ride on

The article isn't about sidewalks though. It's about re-using parking spaces. The word 'sidewalk' appears only once in the article, and only in reference to the type of thing you'd see in Europe. The "parklets&

Good point on the text, thank you - I've changed it. If you've got time could you send / post a screenshot of the images not fitting? My contact details are on my main site in my HN profile. The images are huge, I'll adm

Hey, thanks for saying so. I've never reviewed a product before so wasn't sure how it'd go. I normally write (on another blog) about software development like the rest of the HN crowd so this was quite different for me.
