Show HN: Weekly summary of HN to help fight procrastination Lately, I've realized I'm spending a lot of time on HN. I've also realized that my brain uses it as a some sort of "escape" route: whenever I'm dealing with something complicated, my brain defaults to Cmd+T + "news..". So I've decided that I need to stop continuously browsing HN. BUT, I still don't want to miss the relevant news, events and discussions. That's why I've built this very simple, statically generated summary of HN posts (by year, month and week): https://ift.tt/3zq9P0v I think it's also a good way to filter the noise and only focus on those relevant posts that had a considerable impact on their given week. I've also grouped the submissions on different (and arbitrary) groups that I consider relevant (for example: News, Dev Blogs, Scientific News, etc). Feel free to suggest changes/additions (it's all in a json file within the repo). I guess the only thing left is block news.ycombinator.com on my /etc/hosts :) [Source] https://ift.tt/3sPx9DD January 3, 2022 at 02:48AM

As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
