Station Science Top News: Oct. 4, 2024https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/johnson/station-science-top-news-oct-4-2024/Engineered heart tissues in space showed impairments that led to increased arrhythmias and loss of muscle strength, changes similar to cardiac aging. This finding suggests that the engineered tissues, essentially an automated heart-on-a-chip platform, can be used to study cardiac issues in space and aging-related cardiovascular disease on Earth. Microgravity exposure is known to cause changes in […]

Show HN: I made a platform to preserve family recipes and memorieshttps://legadoculinario.com.br/I'm Victor, and I just launched Legado Culinário, a platform that helps families create digital cookbooks with all their cherished recipes and stories. It allows anyone to register their family recipes, add photos, and share them in a simple and organized way.This project came to life because I wanted a way to preserve the culinary traditions and memories that make family gatherings so special. With just a one-time payment, users can have lifetime access to their digital cookbook, making it a lasting legacy for generations to come.I built this platform in just a week, inspired by the positive response to another project I launched recently. I'm focusing on making this accessible and easy to use, especially for those who value keeping family traditions alive.Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on this!

But what if the waste produced by astronauts could be sustainably transformed into something valuable in space? A Polish company thought about that and has come up an innovative solution: an insect bioreactor powered by Madagascar cockroaches.

Ask HN: Is Cookie Pop-Up Protection a Good Idea?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41764822On my Android phone I've been using Duck Duck Go's browser for a while. By default it visits sites "incognito" and aggressively purges cookies.Of course this results in sites not remembering your (GDPR) privacy preferences which would in turn result in those pesky pop ups every time you visit a site. To mitigate this, DDG offers a feature to automatically handle the popups: When DDG detects cookie pop-ups on sites you visit it can automatically set your cookie preferences to minimize cookies and maximize privacy, then close the pop-ups. Technically, it's far from the simplicity of something like DNT header, but it works reasonably well on a (small) majority of websites. I think this is because those websites use a standardized dialog, the remaining sites still require manual interaction with the pop-up.What I've noticed recently in my own behaviour is that I tend to dismiss or ignore search results that DDG's pop up feature doesn't recognize. I.e.: I have a bias toward preferring sites

Seeking Feedback: A Platform to Discover Indie Hackers Building in Publichttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41755036Hi HN,Over the last two years, I’ve been working hard to build my career in web development. I landed a number of positions at agencies and startups, but I quickly realized that working in those environments has its limits. In my efforts to become economically independent, I started looking at people who were already doing what I aspired to—indie hackers and solopreneurs building their own projects.What I noticed is that success often comes from solving a real problem that people have. In my own search to find a problem I could solve, I realized I had one right in front of me: I needed a place where I could easily find examples of indie hackers who were documenting their successes, failures, and personal journeys as they build products, apps, and businesses. So, I took it upon myself to start collecting these links.After curating over 350 URLs, I now have a comprehensive list of indie hacker websites and blogs where creators share their personal journeys. Some of these sites focus on p

Show HN: Stig – a minimalistic puzzle game on Steam, written in Reacthttps://lageb.itch.io/stigMe and my boyfriend are making a puzzle game together. The goal of the game is to follow a specific pattern by moving around in a grid. Since we are both web developers, we chose to do it in React and Typescript rather than a game engine. We will release it on Steam in November, using Electron to package the app as a desktop executable.Not sure if it has saved us time to do it in React, but we didn't feel like learning a new tool and it has worked really well! I thought making a game would take a lot of time, but we started in December so we will finish this project in less than a year. And we have had lots of fun making it :) Would be fun to hear if someone has done something similar!Try out the demo at https://lageb.itch.io/stig or https://store.steampowered.com/app/2910530/Stig_Demo/.I have posted about Stig before, roughly 7 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39580484). Since then we have changed the levels, updated the menu structure, added a lot of polish etc.

How to bulk delete emails from Gmailhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41747537Just saw a post about a service that provides, among other things, bulk email deletion on Gmail; but you have to give them access to your account (Yeah, that's a NO for me dog). Coincidentally, not so long ago I was talking to ChatGPT about how to do just that (I reckon that ChatGPT has read every manual and API documentation in existence). Anyways, here's the tutorial that it gave me and that I have tested.Steps:1. Open Google Apps Script (drive.google.com > new > more > Google Apps Scripts)2. Click create scripts.3. Write the Script: function deleteOldEmails() { var threads = GmailApp.search('older_than:1y'); for (var i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) { threads[i].moveToTrash(); } } This example deletes emails older than one year (older_than:1y). You can modify the search query for different criteria (e.g., label:unread, from:specific@example.com, before:YYYY/MM/DD).4. Save the Script.5. Run the Script:Click the play icon to run the script. It will ask for permissions the first time.Th
