Nice idea, maybe even tied to the scroll wheel.

I‘d love to see this in a book that has simple white pages with little cutouts showing only the passport picture of the next page. Then you turn that page around and see the full picture.

As an european I feel like 8-10 miles (13-16 km) is a rather long bike commute which would take at least 45 minutes on an ordinary bike. I ride my bike a lot and would occasionally do such a commute but most people aren’t willing to do that at all, sadly.

HN creates visibility for YC startups, e.g. by placing Launch HN posts or the so-and-so is hiring posts

I have mine set to a red filter and assigned it to a double tap on the back gesture, which is a blessing at night in complete darkness!

vestrigi — Tue, 12 Sep 2023 15:04:22 +0000

Question is whether this could harvest enough energy to store it in a small battery to continuously provide power. But really sounds frightening if you change the setup of a few appliances and then suddenly half of your autonomously powered devices don't get enough power anymore because the noise is not high enough anymore.

Coincidentally today I baked the first bread that I was really happy with! I have followed this guide and the videos for a few weeks now and I feel like I’ve got a deeper understanding of what’s going on now. Other recipes can also work but it feels much better to know why you’re doing something instead of blindly following someone. Thanks Hendrik!

Can you switch to and from the keyboard just as fast or even faster than with a mouse?

And that women don't get "used up" because they have sex! Truly delightfully disgusting, that analogy. You'd probably need to own a Ferrari to come up with such nonsense.

New comment by vestrigi in "Dutch police collecting demonstrators' personal data on a large scale"

vestrigi — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 20:31:16 +0000

So how did the police find out about the identities of the 10 people who have never been arrested? Because they posted to social media about them attending a demonstration? How was it connected to them being demonstrators? Where their identities collected during protests but they weren't arrested? Article leaves that open.

Do you have an accessible example for two different recordings of a composition that each shine in their own light?

Thanks, a quick search on the home brew page brought no guidance on how to configure these settings. I can't remember if this is in the .bashrc or in some other obscure config file, would be great to mention this if you recommend changing settings to your user base.

Isn't the recalibration even a problem of all CO2 sensors, including the IKEA model?
