I actually look up everything either via HERE, or via Öffi – because I can get comparison between Walk/Bike/Transit that way, and choose the fastest one (taking waiting time into account).

So sites such as bücher.de (I originally had a link here to the site, but HN punycodes that: http://xn--bcher-kva.de/ ) shouldn’t exist? That’s a very america-centric world, it’s like enforcing only US-ASCII on all websites

You mean, before the 90% of the global population that doesn’t speak english as first language goes online, right? Because the #1 use case for this isn’t emoji, but sites such as bücher.de (I originally had a link here to the site, but HN p

What you want is SVG. You want an SVG output of the actual, full, page. With text embedded in SVG properly, of course.

You can use inkscape’s CLI interface to get SVG from pdf, and then manipulate that with any XML editing library automatically

There’s several problems with this. (a) all drivers live in kernel space, even the sketchy drivers you have to download from NVIDIA (b) if a driver wants to be included easily, it needs to become part of the kernel source tree, but that can

And because it’s a Rechtsstaat, obviously the people that decided that this should happen (considering that there have been memos leaked showing that Scholz and Merkel both were involved in these decisions personally) will resign, right? Ye

None of them have free credit cards. Santander, Barclay, Hanseatic, Targo, DKB, Comdirect, ING-Diba, Consors, Wüstenrot, Noris, and N26 require that you have at least 600€ each month of movement via the bank account, or at least 1200€/

The big issue with this is the – afterwards you always know better – completely stupid decision of Torvalds to never support a stable API for kernel modules, or drivers. A similar issue happened recently between AMD and the kernel maintaine

Because the UK intentionally built a loophole into their version of the law. The actual original cookie law, that was decided on EU level, requires users actually to be able to opt out. But it was a directive, and so countries could interpr

The developer subscription isn’t just 99$. You need to pay with a credit card, the cheapest credit card available in Germany has an annual fee of 39.99€, unless you move > $1300 a year via a CC. (I don’t have a CC, neither do 90.1% of Ge

You can actually get even cheaper. Check out https://git.io/vps , where I made a comparative listing of different providers.

You have to remember, though, that these aren’t small national governments. If Google really pissed off the EU, or US, they could simply force all banks to freeze Google’s assets, and seize them. This has worked in the past, and can be used

Assuming that you have a perfect DAC (which you don’t), with perfect analog brickwall filters (which you don’t), with no compressed audio (which isn’t the case). With a perfect DAC, and perfect filters, and expensive headphones, there is no

Actually, the article is not talking about it, but the topic very much is lossy codecs. Specifically, if 24/192 AAC is worth it compared to 16/44.1 AAC (and the answer to that is yes, although the answer to 24/192 WAV is no)

The problem is that Google has a monopoly on search (>96% in EU), and is using that to gain a monopoly in other areas. For example, where I live, Google maps hasn’t updated map data since 2009. They have no transit in it, no integration

That’s again the same issue. Nice theory, and theoretically is true, but all real algorithms also subsample high frequencies, and scale them back up with nearest-neighbor. The same issue happens with audio. Nice theory, completely broken re

Actually, Germany limits both of these rights, heavily. The right of assembly is only given in indoor spaces, which you own, as long as zero aggression happens. For outdoor assemblies, you'll need approval of the municipal government (

I never developed for iOS, because a platform that has in my home market (the EU) a marketshare similar to what Windows Phone 7 had in the US (below 15%) is useless. Especially when development starts upwards of $3000. I’m comparing between

But that’s the exact issue that this entire article is missing! It’s all about peculiarities of the codec! The issue at hand is apple selling 24bit/192kHz versions of lossy AAC compressed files, compared to 16bit/44.1kHz versions

Which is easy to say, if you’re on silicon valley wages. But a student trying to develop for Android can’t afford devices that start (!) at 908.35 USD. (Price of the Pixel 5" with 32GB storage, in Germany, right now). And Google just d

With video it’s not about bitrate, but Chroma Subsampling. Basically, mp4 and webm video only encodes the brightness channel Y at full resolution, and the color channels Pb Pr at half resolution. You can’t have mp4 or webm video without Chr

> Not at all, bitrate differences are audible. Even with the same bitrate, you’ll need 4K video to get quality comparable to uncompressed 1080p. For example, mp4 defines that the brightness channel Y should be stored with full resolution
