Two adults flying from the mainland, currently three nights Oahu, three Maui, four on the Big Island, with a rental car booked on each. We want one volcano, decent snorkelling and at least a couple of days where we do…
I have about 1,400 cards in Brainscape from a course that shipped with them, and roughly 600 in Anki that I made myself. Brainscape asks how confident I felt on a one to five scale and quietly decides when to show the…
Solo, roughly six weeks of evenings before I want this in front of real people. Habit tracking app, subscription only, no free tier. Plan A: iOS only, StoreKit 2 direct, no third party in the billing path. Plan B: Expo…
I started conversation practice twice a week in Italian after a year of mostly reading. Since then my vocabulary feels like it has shrunk — words I would have recognised instantly a month ago will not come out, and I…
Four months into a signed off leave from a job I was good at for nine years. I sleep, I walk, I do very little, and I still can't read a book or answer a message without a spike of dread. Everything I find online says…
Small B2B tool, 11 accounts on annual. Raised the annual price from $180 to $240 and emailed everyone 21 days before their renewal date. Four did not renew. Two of the four replied and both said some version of "we…
Pulled about 400 contacts out of a public directory in my niche, wrote one template with a merge field for company name, and ran it over eight days with four follow ups. Two replies, one of them telling me to stop. The…
We're viewing flats next month. He earns roughly double what I do and has quietly covered more than half of everything for a year, which I've never asked about and he's never mentioned. I can afford a 50/50 split on…
About 8 kg to lose, eating in a moderate deficit, and I'm ravenous in the evenings which is where my week reliably falls apart. I've been using a cheap concentrate. People keep telling me isolate is better for cutting…
Small tool for people who run seed swaps and small nurseries. No list, no followers, no budget. I found a Discord with about 3,000 members where these people genuinely hang out, lurked for two weeks, then posted in what…
I build a dict outside the loop, update two keys on each pass, then append it to a list. At the end every entry in the list is identical and equal to the last row. If I print inside the loop the values are correct on…
Three weeks in and my heart rate spikes every time a message notification comes in, because my first thought is always which one is this and what did I miss. The work itself is fine, both roles are well within what I…
I do site surveys and my notes get rained on maybe once a month. Currently using a standard blue that turns into a watercolour the moment a drop lands. Pen is an extra fine steel nib and realistically I clean my pens…
I have an offer for a 12 week paid internship at a research group outside the university, roughly the same money as a semester of TA work, and I have to answer in three weeks. The alternative is the guaranteed fifth…
Two boneless breasts, about an inch and a half thick, bagged with a little oil and salt, held at 145F for four hours because I was out and could not pull them earlier. They were not undercooked at all, but the texture…
I start a maths degree in September and the first module is Foundations: logic, sets, relations, proof technique. Everyone in the year above says it broke them, and not one of them can tell me what specifically broke. I…
House drops to about 18C overnight and I keep the bedroom cool on purpose because I sleep badly when it's warm. The problem is my feet stay cold for the first forty minutes and I'm clearly lying there awake because of…
It sits on a shelf indoors, writes clips to a USB stick and I have honestly not logged in for over a year. Now I am wondering whether to preemptively replace it before it fails at a bad time, or leave it alone on the…
Every podcast I listen to tells me my provider is selling my browsing and that a VPN fixes it. I work from home on my own connection, bank on my phone over mobile data, and travel maybe twice a year. Money is not really…
Field service app. Two of us, about 40 screens, and technicians work in places with no signal, so edits have to survive being made offline and sync later. Right now everything server shaped lives in TanStack Query and…
First time in South America, my Spanish is about forty words, and I have $2,500 for the ground portion after flights. A small group operator quoted $1,900 for ten days plus a single supplement, which is most of my…
New users land on a dashboard that is completely empty until they import something. About half never import. The two options I keep going back and forth on are: seed the account with a realistic sample project so the…
Small tool for internal API docs. Eight paying customers at $19 a month. Two of them, both at companies with a security review process, have asked whether they can run it themselves. One said their infosec team won't…
Every test in the file dies with . The part I cannot get my head around: the const already is above the mock. Moving it further up changes nothing. Vitest 3, TS, alias resolved through the vite tsconfig paths plugin.
Someone at work is giving away an upright from about 1920 that has been in a garage for two years. Alternatively I have 900 saved for a weighted digital. Second floor flat, neighbours on both sides and below, and I will…
