Ask HN: What book bit, stung and shook you deeply?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40878040Someone here quoted Kafka [1] on what types of books to read:Books that “bite and sting”. That “wake us up with a blow to the head”. And which “affect us like a disaster, that hurts us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves”.Ever read a book like that? Which was it? How did it affect you? What did reading it do to you?[1] Brief an Oskar Pollak, 27. Januar 1904. , https://homepage.univie.ac.at/werner.haas/1904/br04-003.htm.English (ChatGPT): "I believe one should only read those books which bite and sting. If the book we are reading does not wake us up with a blow to the head, then why read the book? To make us happy, as you write? My God, we would be just as happy if we had no books, and those books that make us happy, we could write ourselves if necessary.

Ask HN: Your Yearly Power Usage in Kwh?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40875185Last week we did our electrical meter reading for the yearly re-balancing of our electrical bill (sidebar: here in Germany we typically pay a monthly rate based on average past usage at that residence, and that rate is adjusted up or down yearly), and i was somewhat surprised to find that we had used only 1077 kwh for the previous 366 days (about 10 of which we were not at home), which meant that we got a refund of very nearly half of what we'd paid in during the previous year.1077 kwh for a year seems somewhat low to me, and i know it's low for the US'ians in the crowd (most of which who have to deal with air conditioning costs), which has made me curious about average Geekdom power usage, in particular among folks who place an explicit focus (as i do) on reducing their electricity costs.To the best of my recollection, this two-person household has the following electrical usage:- a raspberry pi 4 for the NAS and various network workloads, hosting about half a dozen external SSD driveJul 4, 2024 2:22 PM

Show HN: Quick Calories – Efficient Weight Loss for Software Engineershttps://calories.joeldare.comI faced a sudden career twist recently and I used it as motivation to revisit and improve Quick Calories, an app that helps software engineers quickly track their daily calorie intake.The original idea was born out of my own struggle to find a dieting app that fit my style - something that allowed me to quickly log calories without tedious manual entry. And now, I'm excited to share Quick Calories with HN!What is Quick Calories?- A minimalist app that makes calorie tracking lightning fast.- It keeps a running calorie total and automatically resets daily. Just track your intake and move on with your life.- The math-friendly input lets you perform arithmetic operations on calorie counts, making it easier to log complex meals or snacks.As someone who spends hours staring at screens, I know how hard it is to prioritize health when work-life balance feels like an oxymoron. Quick Calories can be an indispensable tool for a busy software engineer.I'd love to see more software engineers using Jul 3, 2024 7:02 PM

Show HN: A web app to track your grocery expenses and nutritionhttps://www.5outapp.com/Hello HN,I've been working on a tool during the weekend to help make cheaper and healthier grocery choices. Currently, it only gives me simple stats on my grocery bill and some general comments on how you can improve your shopping next time. (No signup/email needed.)I believe that healthy food is something cooked in your kitchen, but it also takes a lot of time.So, I started by building an Airbnb-like platform where people can find local cooks (not just experienced chefs) to do meal prep in their homes. After working 9 months on it, I realized it was hard to get people on the platform. So, I thought I should build something people can use for free to create some awareness around it.As usual, I have many features in mind that I would like to implement, but I would love to hear some feedback. I have 3 friends using it regularly, but it might still break. If you care, please try it out, sign up or hit me up on X.Thanks, AmanJul 3, 2024 11:33 AM
