I’m lucky to live surrounded by Vaccinium angustifolium, aka wild low sweets. Last year I picked 20lbs and also bought 40lbs of wild Vaccinium myrtilloides, aka sour tops. My chest freezer was a quarter full of blueberries and I’m on my las

It's just one of those weird things that people, especially Americans, have been conditioned to think is wholesome. After some time not drinking it, orange juice is almost sickeningly sweet to me.

Thinking about how this would play out in the hilly and curvy rural roads near me. Perhaps not so well.

Interesting as I am trying to get conversations about bike protections started in my rural US community. E-bikes are going to change the dynamic, but you’re taking a huge risk on the roads around here for the time being.

The author hints more than once at unfulfilled OpenShift potential. I’m not familiar with anything that OpenShift set out to do but failed to realize. Genuinely curious.

I tried a bunch of alternatives and wound up paying for premium Trello or whatever it's called for the family. Set it up thusly: - an iOS widget that makes capturing things super fast and easy - an INBOX board where cards land, with li

My wife is also Colombian and we spend a lot of time there. I tell nobody about the town her family is from or the surrounding area. It is breathtakingly beautiful, ecologically fragile, and my lived experience around the world is that ther

I told Apple I wasn’t interested in interviewing for a non-remote role based on their NYC office. I’m not an engineer who can work anywhere I want. And I’m confident that working at Apple would have an incredible positive effect on my caree

We already live in this broken future. Deliverr powers Walmart warehousing and a recent order for 12 units of dental floss resulted in 5 packages arriving over several days.

I work from home and from a solo office. When I’m in the office, I crave a sandwich from the pizza place across the street A) because it’s there and B) to kill the monotony of being in my office. At home I have a far easier time skipping lu

Is this in use anywhere, by anyone? Isn’t that the very first question any open source project should anticipate?

I am happy for you if you can play a FAANG salary against another offer, and many on HN can, but for the vast majority of tech employees _and_ employers, those numbers are nothing like a baseline.

I've said as much on other threads. Employers are playing a longer game, and thinking about the salaries of the person who replaces you. So go ahead, move to Colombia but save up. When there's zero friction and in fact a couple ye

I manage a team of 5 and our meetings are mainly driven by screen sharing. When I’m sharing my screen I don’t see anyones face. When I’m looking at what someone else is sharing I want to see it full screen. I’m not really looking at anyone

The reason this approach lost to dynamic rendering is the absence of any sort of logic that would rebuild _only_ updated pages. The job of many, many web sites is to make it easy for people to add content to them. When adding something take

I have not dropped Netflix but I admit the virtue-signaling in the suggested content has made me stop giving the interface as much attention. The suggestions are crap across the board, and I assume in Netflix's interest more than my ow

Jira lacks all sorts of table stakes features, like the ability to view your backlog grouped by epics. So anything that lets me use the Jira data that I'm forced to create, but in effective ways outside of Jira, is a win.

I realize that Substack is popular but I've never encountered a writer whose work I was so interested in that I was willing to pay them individually. A key part of the value I get out of other subscriptions is aggregation. I've ba

The happiest person I’ve met in your condition is a real estate lawyer. Partner in a small firm, millionaire in their 30s, passionate leader in his chosen hobbies, for which he has ample time. Maybe real estate closing attorneys won’t be si
