Then it's syndicate everywhere.

But all roads lead back to the domain.


I have a washing machine. That automates most of washing clothes, hanging and folding them takes seconds.

I expect robots in unexpected, previously unautomated areas. I don't expect them to look humanoid other than the ones that will look exceptionally humanoid perhaps changing form from time to time.


Hanging and folding does not take seconds blud

A wash per day. In it, a couple of t-shirts, a shirt, a hoodie, a pair of trousers, socks, underwear. At max.

It really shouldn't take more than a handful of seconds to give a good flap and put any one of these on a hangar.

Likewise folding. A couple of seconds. Shirts don't need folding, they stay n the hangar.

I'm struggling to think why it would take longer. Are you new to clothes?


Who has time to do laundry once a day. That sounds crazy if you don't have small kids.

The washing machine does. Either this conversation has come full circle or HN, circus of productivity hacks, is exceptionally ineffective at doing laundry.

Does it not smell and fester when left for days?


Are you being serious? My unwashed laundry only smells when you press your nose to it. In the hamper it’s fine for the 1-7 days it generally waits.

Although this thread has hit on an interesting method of distributing folding into daily tiny sessions - especially for the childfree, who produce just a single dirty outfit per day after all.

The method would be that you don’t own any clothes that wrinkle, and wash a load of laundry each week, then you hang up your towel, and just sit the clean basket by the dresser, and each morning before you get dressed, you also fold and put away (or wear) “n” items where “n” is the average number of items you wear each day. At the end of the week you should have an essentially empty “clean” basket and a new dirty basket. If you were very disciplined about this you could just have the basics in rotation at all times, meaning you only own like 8 pairs of underpants, 16 socks, etc. and those simply come out of the clean basket straight onto your body.


Not to mention ironing and putting away.

Maybe a competitor is trying to FUD them?

I would imagine that this isn't (or at least shouldn't be) possible based on Apple's security. The app is automatically downloading to my phone without my permission.

Delivery and porn are basically 95% of the new economy so good for him getting into position - so to speak.


It's like HTMX but with zoom as the transition. I'm curious what could be done with the inner target.


Forcing seasons into chunks of equal duration also feels wrong, to me but also anyone I recall having a conversation with so seeing every HN comment assuming all seasons are 3 months long is somewhat perplexing.


We can just all use rsync, no need for an app.


Yep, I use rsync to sync files / directories between my desktop, laptop and even phone (Android). Also an external drive.

I ended up creating https://github.com/nickjj/bmsu which calls rsync under the hood but helps you build up a valid rsync command with no surprises. It also codifies each of your backup / restore strategies so you're not having to run massively long rsync commands each time. It's 1 shell script with no dependencies except rsync.

Nothing leaves my local network since it's all local file transfers.


Until I want to share with say… anyone that isn’t on HN :)


If you're not aware, the GP was a reference to the original Dropbox HN post, wherein BrandonM said, effectively, "why wouldn't I just use rsync?"

I am pretty sure I knew that and forgot it and now I know it again :)


Just make a route on your web server, making all the files available with some long, impossible to guess, unique ID that can be shared. Like https://files.<your domain>/<id here>.

If they want to collaborate, they can just post the changed file, using the auth key you generated for them set in some header field, to https://files.<your domain>/<id here>, which could automatically increment revision numbers. Then you could access specific revisions with .../<id here>/rev/<revision>.

So much easier than installing an app! You could literally just use curl as the interface! (I kid)


Hah, yeah. I do have a one line CLI script to upload a file to S3, get a shareable link, and send it to me on ntfy.sh. And my family all have ntfy.sh so that honestly is viable for some things. But still, not really all that workable for many things. And only I have this power in my family


Then S3 is not going to be a lot better :)


Except that for macOS it uses the FileProvider Framework. So files that are rarely accessed get deleted from your local storage and synced back automagically when you access them. Saving space on your disk because on mac you can’t upgrade your ssd without a soldering iron.


My job is social and deadline driven. Here's what works for me:

Lifting some weights in a deserted gym - no music or people.

Stretching for 20 minutes before bed each day.

Getting a full night's sleep.

Going to a favourite restaurant once or twice a week. The rest of the time a simple, high fibre diet with lots of water, no alcohol, cigarettes or drugs.

Doing a part-time postgraduate course to boost some depth and variety to the often-times surface-level demands of work work.


It needed more than a flush.

Or a pickup from 2015 - 2021 which was 0% growth.

It's tricky to pick an end-of-decade year also - recessions tend to happen +/- 2 years of the end of each decade in the USA, or at least have done since records began in the 19th century. For example 2010 was recovery over 2008/2009's bust. It's not like comparing March to Ma4ch for a crude seasonal adjustment.
