After wearing an Apple Watch for almost a decade, the F-91W became my new "never take off" watch. For daily use, the only thing I miss from a smartwatch is a weather+temp forecast complication. Interestingly, it doesn't seem

It does. It'll also let you do cost basis adjustments just like TurboTax.

It's very easy. I've done this by accident. One of my side projects helps users price the affordability of a particular kind of product. When I ask various LLMs "can I afford X" or "how much do I need to earn to buy

Unfortunately not out of the box but the demo runs really well on M4 chips. It can be enabled as such (I'm on Sequoia): 1. Safari > Settings > Advanced > Show features for web developers 2. Develop > Feature Flags > Sear

My biggest concern with an online service is privacy (either bad actors or the web app getting hacked). I used an online mortgage service that was fully paperless with the exception of a single document. Just ran it through a few imagemagic

This is an awesome tool! I created my own promo in Blender for a personal site project* some time ago and it was a real pain getting the screen content to render accurately and contrast well off of the device. Do you have any concerns with

I would say Roughgarden's four CS Algorithms courses on Coursera are somewhat more advanced than CS50: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/algorithms It covers foundational topics like asymptotic notation. Ho

One trick is to apply as a specialist for a given role. During the interviews ask questions that give you a sense for how easy it is to generalize internally. You can automate your resume-specialization by building a template in HTML, store

Curious if you're being facetious or genuinely flummoxed but it looks like a poetry periodical published in the format of industrial freight.

Here's how I use this forecasting tool which has made it great for planning my bicycling commute in the Bay Area these past smoky days: 1) Enable the Near Surface Smoke layer under HRRR. 2) Click the timestamp at the bottom to switch t

I used to rely heavily on pinboard.in but I noticed two things: most of my devices are iOS & MacOS (Safari & iCloud everywhere) and I almost never went back to re-read articles I had already read. So now I track everything through R

I do ask myself this every time I use one. Often, for me, the reward (convenience of getting home quickly or making the bus on time) is worth the risk (minor chance of getting ticketed or having an incident on a short trip). Nonetheless, it

Totally agree. I live in the South Bay and occasionally ride a Bird scooter between the work bus and home. There's no way I'm riding on the bike lane without a helmet and I can't carry a helmet with me everywhere on the off c

I think this is great. Hispanic families in the US would also benefit highly from non-predatory financial products. I spent a few months learning about investing and tried my best to pass that knowledge on to my family but it was challengin

It's kind of crazy that, at least in the US, personal finance is not taught so much in grade school. I had to do a lot of reading and research now in my late twenties to figure out the best way to manage the RSUs I get at work and how

I agree, but that won't happen until large tech organizations incentivize and reward maintenance work. See this related HN discussion about someone who left Google partly because they were not promoted for their documenting and bug-fix

IANAL, but from what I understand in California, if a small claim is appealed a lawyer may represent on either side.

Curious what anyone thinks of this theory: each tech team should have two managers. One manages the people and the other manages the projects/technology.
