Are there people here on HN that believe the election was stolen? I haven't seen any evidence, most of the lawsuits haven't borne fruit either. However, I also recognize that there may be blindspots/biases. I'd really li

I'd say use a static site generator (e.g Hugo) with a CMS (like https://forestry.io/ ). This gives you the best of both worlds -- never have to worry about your blog going down due to traffic spikes, can host it for not

OP here. The longer process wasn't to avoid withdrawals. I already went through the withdrawals while I had the flu. I've quit cold turkey before, going through the withdrawals for ~1 week. Problem is, the habit didn't have e

Thanks for reading! This is useful and I agree with you. It's almost a superpower if taken at the right times. I think I would still drink caffeine if I didn't have headaches. I could have tolerated the sleep issues for much longe

I've done that before and yeah it feels great after the withdrawals. However, it wasn't enough for a permanent habit change. I fell back into drinking coffee after a month. This way I'm physiologically and psychologically les

Hi HN, I built this to track our cargo into North America. I have a few shipping lines worked out, but many remain. I built this so I didn't have to manually update the status of our on-the-water containers. If you're familiar wit

Actually asking, as I've never worked on a large existing codebase: If there is no bug, why would it continue to rot the codebase?

We import mostly from Brazil and India so can't say much about China. Supply side issues are mostly logistical in nature: - low low low supply of containers - lower than normal vessels on the water - getting container bookings is 3-4-5

The ship part is easy. What rails operate in that region, if any, that have openly available container tracking?

Pure luck. The commercial real estate agent that helped us get a couple warehouses does this on the side. He's also a former NFL linebacker, which added to his credibility to some degree (i.e. he wouldn't intentionally be running

In the ~3 months I've followed DeFi, the interest rates are anywhere from 6% to 50%. I'd guess the average is about 10%, but it's too new to say.

One way that I made money was lending cryptocurrency through DeFi platforms. Basically: - Buy DAI (which is ~1DAI to 1USD) through any platform (e.g.Coinbase) - Transfer to your local wallet (e.g. Metamask). - Then lend it on one of these e

You can track containers on railroad websites. Some require a company login, which they manually approve. Others don't. Some require you to be a 'Notify Party', others don't. The trains aren't being tracked. Contain

What are your thoughts on expanding hugo using Python? I have similar python scripts as the OP, that handle generation and pre-processing of markdown files which then get used by Hugo. It feels hacky and something extra to ship. Is there a
