As a bloke I think I can see one reason why - I buy sports kit the model looks good in but I won’t. Every damn time! Then end up buying again.

Fed up of 'restrictive' AI training plan creators, history analysers and lifestyle loggers. Try this - bit nerdy, lots of rough edges!

Absolutely love my boox palma! Since getting it I’ve read dozens of books, just because it’s so easy to carry. The complaints I’ve read before on Reddit don’t seem to apply to my device which is good.

Depressing comments section conflating crypto with DLT. Money bros will always be money bros the platform doesn’t matter.

New comment by maxrev17 in "Show HN: ClubHub – We made a useful thing (free forever)"

maxrev17 — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 17:46:35 +0000

ClubHub is free forever - and lets users create clubs and events, and allows them to be exported to a set of calendars (iCal).

As club members ourselves we wanted to build something to help alleviate the inevitable 'social-mediaification' of absolutely everything. Even platforms like Strava are becoming more and more proprietary and trying to make it difficult to share GPX files, not allowing 3rd party apps to interact as easily...

The feature set is small so far, but we want to ensure people can organise real-world stuff without having a social media platform attached to everything they do.

It's super early days - we built this over 3-4 weeks and now are letting people loose on it. The system 'should' be robust - but let's find out.

Bugs/comments/slander/whatever absolutely welcome!

Lol seems like a reductio ad absurdum long game on trying to make people be nice to each other. I might use the 'wrong' word or an offensive one but I sure as hell don't mean it to be and that is easy to spot.

Interestingly the people who push these crazy (lol) agendas are normally nowhere near the intended 'offendees' of the terminology.

Tough gig on hacker news with this one. Unless it's logical thinking to prove superiority, you've lost!

New comment by maxrev17 in "Ask HN: What habits have helped you achieve the greatest transformation in life?"

maxrev17 — Sat, 18 Feb 2023 13:47:04 +0000

Mixing socialising and exercising! Clears the head and helps prevent visits to the pub . I recently lost my fitness and am now battling to get it back (lost over 5 yrs, regaining over 1),keeping that around would have been a good plan, thankfully got enough years to make it back. When exercising I sleep better, work better, family life better etc. I think the habit is finding a comprehensive app/guide to tell me what to do and when - this offloads the cognitive requirements and let's me just follow blindly whilst life is otherwise too busy.

What is the logic behind paying his bail other than you need him to favour you when it comes to the case details?

maxrev17 — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 14:15:59 +0000

I've sadly never seen micros achieve the purported benefits. All I've seen is problems. Monolith, or a set of distinct systems which are owned by teams with little to no blur (just agreed contracts), anything else gets painfully messy and you'd have been better with code modules.

Pandora was the best for recommendations. They stopped it being available in the UK over a decade ago, made me sad!

maxrev17 — Tue, 22 Nov 2022 19:52:03 +0000

I'll tell you how, and it isn't just 'don't do it'. It is a slow, organic, and patient process. This comes with hidden advantages such as being able to quickly and quietly pivot as you learn.
