New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Why did Ruble stabilize and what's going on?

Ask HN: Why did Ruble stabilize and what's going on? 3 by helij | 0 comments on Hacker News. Today the Ruble is worth more than 2 months ago before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Can any economists chime in and explain why this is happening? Inflation in Russia looks to be high but similar to the one in Lithuania for example. Ukraine inflation is lower which in my dilettante view doesn't make sense. It looks like it's business as usual and war doesn't really have any impact on global economy at the moment. Prices were going up before Feb anyway. So what's going on?

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Am I going insane or is there genuinely no value in blockchain tech?

Ask HN: Am I going insane or is there genuinely no value in blockchain tech? 25 by ak_111 | 12 comments on Hacker News. I tried hard to understand the space and some of the ways in which the technology works, but after many hours of investment I am still unable to alleviate my scepticism that this entire space is vapourware, there is nothing here more than you can get with traditional database technology? At the same time, the amount of coverage and attention it is getting and for a sustained period makes me believe I am missing something. After all there are few instances of technology fads that have sustained such serious interest for a prolonged period of time (approaching a decade now) with little to show for in terms of investment returns or societal impact. I am talking committees formed in parliaments and central banks around the world to discuss its benefits, serious universities dedicating whole programs on the subject, elite investors pouring money into its potential, and ...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: A programmer's approach to finding gifts

Show HN: A programmer's approach to finding gifts 12 by cvanvlack | 7 comments on Hacker News. Hey Folks, I’ve been really annoyed with the search part of finding gifts. It’s hard to use keyword search for something when it’s an “I’ll know it when I see it” kind of deal. So I thought, what if we scraped/indexed TONS of products and then just focused on removing the things we don’t want and then see what’s left to see if there’s anything cool? I built it in Flutter so it's both iOS and Android but it could be web too. I’ve only just started the scraping/tagging of products and if anyone has suggestions for bulk tagging images/content I would love to hear them. That’s the current bottleneck. Any feedback would be welcome! cvanvlack AT gmail DOT com if you want to discuss 1-on-1.

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Buying a domain previously owned by a now deceased person

Ask HN: Buying a domain previously owned by a now deceased person 8 by fprct | 14 comments on Hacker News. Strange (or maybe not so strange?) thing happened. I'm looking for a good name & .com domain for a product for some time now. Just tried a new guess and the .com is available. I was quite enthusiastic about this option. Or so I thought... It just so happens that the previous owner was a person that died from cancer couple of years ago and hosted some semi personal stuff there - judging from a quick read on web.archive.org, mostly promoted their books, but the topic of disease was present and books were somewhat related. Apparently there was no one around them who would take care of the site and pay for the domain (or maybe there was, but they decided it was better not to). Related Facebook account is deleted, too. OTOH books are available on Amazon. Now I don't feel like taking this domain would be the right move. Both emotionally and business wise. Curious if you h...

Ask HN: What's a good laptop for software development in –$2000 range 22 by kellogs_aran | 22 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! I am looking to buy a laptop for software development in the 0 to $2000 (USD) range. What I am looking for: 1. Durability: battery life is important to me as well as general longevity of the hardware i.e. I would like it to last a long time. 2. Linux support: I use Linux as my OS of choice and I have no intention of using Windows/MacOS 3. Optimized for intensive computing usage. Other things of note: I looked into the Framework laptops and so far it looks like they are still a bit beta. However, I am curious about users' experiences with: * the KDE Slimbook 15: https://ift.tt/PHL34q6 * the Purism Librem 14: https://ift.tt/u4gHoBF * Kubuntu Focus: https://ift.tt/jitDSP0 * the StarBook 14-inch – Star Labs®: https://ift.tt/cFCIMDq Also tips about maintaining battery life would be appreciated. I've read too much conflicting advice about that lately :)...
