My Grass Allergy

Hacker News - Mon, 06/01/2026 - 12:09pm

Grass pollen has been absurd for the last 2 weeks in the East Bay. I have severe grass allergy, which primary means near-swollen-shut-eyes with no counter-measures.

Here is my developed protocol:

1. Oral Zyrtec or Claratin, switch which one is taken every 6 wks to avoid building a resistance to the specific antihistimine!

2. Saline nasal rinse (bottled from store or from home-boiled water and salt)

3. Corticosteroid nasal spray. Applied so that it is not shot directly up nose, pointed away from the bridge of the nose. Allow 5-10min for it to absorb, do not blow nose just after.

4. Mineral sunscreen, for moisturizing/uv protection and also it helps to keep pollen out of the eyes.

Show HN: Gridiculous, my homebrew Game Boy Advance logic puzzle collection

Hacker News - Mon, 06/01/2026 - 11:19am

I'm a huge fan of logic puzzles and retro gaming, so I decided to merge those two and take a shot at building a Game Boy Advance game using Butano.

My collection includes games inspired by four puzzle games: Picross, Slitherlink, Akari, and Binario. Every puzzle is procedurally generated, and I made sure to exclude any that aren't solvable through step-by-step forward logic. (guessing is never required)

If you enjoy logic puzzles, be sure to check it out! Any feedback or advice would be amazing too.

Ask HN: What email API providers to use for pet project?

Hacker News - Mon, 06/01/2026 - 11:18am

I'm building a pet project for a local community, and I need to send emails - potentially thousands of them. The project won't be commercial, so I'd like to spend as little money as possible. I'd also like to avoid hosting a custom SMTP server or dealing with all the setup.

It seems like there are quite a few email providers on the market, but I'm not sure whether my project would meet their requirements.

What would you recommend as a cheap and reliable(good deliverability) provider for transactional emails? What email providers do you use for pet projects?
