Congrats, this is so handy (pun intended)! :-) Please consider adding a custom watch face to the Coros watches such as the Vertix. Also consider that there are timezones offset by 30 mins.

There is a line of research according to which social media create addiction [0]. When we are addicted to social media, we have less and less time for tinkering and pushing the envelope, because a sizeable part of our time is claimed by suc

Sun Microsystems could not have a more special place in my hacker heart. In my youth Sun was all over the place; I was dreaming working for them – as I would eventually did later in my life – and, admittedly, I would have done so even only

In my opinion this could turn in a top seller – and I wish you so – if only you could add the means to sync Hyperpaper Planner to other calendars, such as Apple's and Google's ones. I would typically need to quickly import calenda

That of which is actually provided are 125M partial pre-images. A cryptographic hash function – SHA-256 included – is not inverted, because any "good" cryptographic hash function has probably infinitely many pre-images for any gi

It would be nice to have vanity URLs for the profiles. UUIDs are a no go in this application scenario.

It is worth to note that the users of such service can set an expiration date for linked resource access. This can be used, for instance, by gig workers to deliver documents to their clients, while conditioning the retrieval of such documen

The civil society would benefit, because it is hard to entrust our business and affairs to systems whose degree of trustworthiness is moot at best.

Counter intuitive, perhaps, but not necessarily purpose-defeating, because a stealth mode company can choose to release its open source components only a later moment in time, when it is ready to generate positive cash flow.

I still remember from those days how sturdy was the metal plane encapsulating the keyboard. It was so rock solid that when it was decommissioned by my father, he gave them to a local blacksmith to serve him as working board... I know, I kno

I have two huge boxes full of 8" floppies. They belonged to my father, who used them to work on two Olivetti BCS 2025. [1] Unfortunately the BCS units are long time gone. Needlessly to say, it would be nice to recover data from those 8

Given the proven track record of our community, it strikes me out how nobody commented about the pretty good replica of the HN's UI already. Sad. On a related note, I will spend all night hacking CSS to prove myself I can do the same.

We would be better off reducing our carbon footprint rather than trying to offset it. If we were to offset our carbon footprint, we would be in the market for offsetting strategies most likely in commodity form – which is to say products an
