Show HN: NaturalCron – Human-Readable Scheduling for .NET (With Fluent Builder)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-31 12:09:06

NaturalCron NaturalCron is a human-readable scheduling engine for .NET. It lets you write schedules in a clear and intuitive way instead of memorizing cryptic cron strings. Why? Because memorizing 0 18 * * 1-5 is harder than understanding every day between monday and friday at 6:00pm . Readable schedules reduce mistakes, write expressions that you can understand at a glance. Note: NaturalCron is not a cron converter. It’s a new expressive syntax for better readability. 💡 Why use NaturalCron

Gear News of the Week: Insta360 Debuts a Drone Company, and DJI Surprises With an 8K 360 Camera

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-08-31 18:30:00

The 360 camera company Insta360 has entered the drone market with a spin-off brand called Antigravity. This new company hasn't released a drone yet, but it's coming soon and will likely have a slightly different take from current market leaders like DJI. Antigravity's drone is expected to feature 360 cameras with 8K resolution. It will also fall under the 250-gram weight limit, meaning it won't require a license. The 360-degree camera makes sense from the company that makes our favorite 360 cam

YouTube will no longer limit ads on videos that drop the f-bomb early

YouTube has changed its ad guideline policy surrounding swear words, allowing creators a bit more freedom than before. In a video announcement, YouTube's head of monetization, Conor Kavanagh, said that videos containing stronger profanity such as f-bombs in the first seven seconds are now eligible for full monetization. In 2022, YouTube introduced a policy that would flag videos using profane language in the first several seconds as ineligible for advertising. It relaxed that rule a bit in 2023.
