I built and launched countless model rockets as a kid and a month ago took my son out with my dad to relive the experience and it was downright magical. Beyond that I'm really happy to see this model simply because it's REALLY HAR

The second paragraph for both your links tries to compare the cities in terms of apples-to-apples by population: NYC: "However, compared to other communities of similar population size, New York has a crime rate that is noticeably lowe

I have a dentist who loves to use the little remote camera to show me everything about my teeth and let me tell you: it doesn't make it any better! Totally agree on the "understand to remove fear" side of things though. When

Very cool! Small bug report: on Safari 16.3 (18614.4.6.1.6) when you hover over one of the circles to pick a new background, during the animation the circle's interior extends outside the circle's border. Gif: https://i

I love how clever this is! If I wasn’t pretty sure that gunning the engine in park repeatedly is a bad idea (and would draw more than a few stares when done from a street-parking space in Manhattan) I’d give it a try. Would very much like t

I can't speak to AWS but in my experience with an expired credit card and a few dollars owed on an otherwise unused account Azure will permanently destroy your data and resources after about 5 months.

Funny, that's actually how Jay Cotton (co-creator of Kali) learned about Doom and what led him to start exploring the network side of gaming. There's a decent interview with him that relays the story: https://episodicco

YC probably has some really interesting data on this for pre-seed companies since moving from a required relocation to fully remote. For new founders the value of being in person around other founders in the epicenter of your industry can b

Briggo kind of did this. They started with convention centers and airports. Costa bought them reasonably quickly. It was the perfect middle ground: it didn’t claim to be top of the line but it beat most chain coffee for espresso drinks.

Great article, I and many other founders I know have had a version of this idea (fast, high quality coffee, delivered) and no one I know has made it work. Since you lived this journey I'm curious about your pricing: I always imagined t

My family has personally experienced this and it is terrifying to learn how little information and how few resources there are for young children with IBD. Right out of the gate you hit the issue that there simply aren't many "ver

Oh sure, the list of FCC rules is seemingly endless... but it's still a pretty wide margin of media and speech permitted especially on the "talk radio" side of things.

I seriously considered buying an AM radio station a few years ago. You can get a fully operational station and the land it's on for under $200k in pretty populated areas. Something about just broadcasting whatever you want into a prote

Excited to see this! I built a personal project with automerge 1 recently because I liked the philosophy of offline-first from the team and because the docs were frankly much more approachable than yjs but ended up switching to yjs half way

Relatedly I recently learned that Apple also has a "protect mail activity" option that seems to use private relay under the hood for email content. You can use this feature without actually enabling private relay for your whole m

This looks really cool. The number of times I've had to google things like "delete all files that were created before a certain date but not if they have certain characters or are a certain extension" is uncountable. Kind of

Given the advantages of sortable UUIDs and this post's conclusion that XID is the best option right now, is Supabase planning to add pg_idkit to their list of supported extensions?

Nintendo seems to be the best at this. I pulled my Wii out of storage to play with my 4 year old earlier this month. Plugged it in and was off and running having a blast playing Wii Sports and Mario Kart.

IIRC one of the only useful things Theranos did was to lobby to remove the laws preventing people from ordering their own bloodwork without involving a physician. That said, the two big lab companies are starting to offer more self-ordered

Oh cool-- are you saying Alfred will let me override the delete key in the case of highlighted text so it always executes a cut instead?

Semi-related: What I really wish all my editors and IDEs would have is some kind of "delete history" view into my deleted text (especially blocks of text). I'll often delete something, then work for a while, then realize I ne
