You can ask for the oldest version of any page that is on the Wayback Machine. That may or may not be the first posting, depending on the date. The further back in time you go, the more spotty the archive becomes. Late 1990s and early 2000s

I use an app on MacOS to do this. It's called History Book. There are also browser extensions. And my bookmark manager also submits anything I save to Wayback Machine.

I've tried many such devices. I bought and sold AlphaSmart devices for a while during my search. I also have a Psion Series 5, Sharp Brain, etc. I also have ADHD. The problem for me is always the keyboard layout. Having used the same k

I find it quite surprising that you're a self-proclaimed greenhorn, but very opinionated about what apps people should be using.

I'm a big fan of OpenSCAD. I first used it to model a Wii Wheel sort of thing that I could put an Apple TV remote in. But my main use of it was creating a few dozen cars for a video game. Really great fun to model things. If you know C

Just in case people aren't aware the article is to promote that the Art Institute of Chicago have one of their three prints of The Great Wave on view for the first time in 5 years. (I suspect they'll rotate through all 3 prints ov

Exactly this.

by msephton 2y ago
I think the Great Wave would be high on the most recognisable chart.

by msephton 2y ago
Well done, though!

Hokusai only drew the original sketch as a watercolour. A team of other people did the carving, colouring, printing all overseen by the publisher.

This is mentioned in the article. Art Institute of Chicago have 3 prints and show them next to each other so we can see the differences.

In some prints Fuji is coloured to look like a small wave (my personal preference) but in later prints is coloured differently to stand out.

Seems odd to have a disclaimer that it was rediscovered, yet stop short of citing the prior art.

(poster) I had to trim the title to fit HN submission. I would argue it does nothing for the user, and nothing in the app given it can be trimmed with no side-effects.

No need to guess, full details are at the link. Spoiler: it's not something generic they bought in and customised.

They can spot and fix this without tooling. The tooling just makes it (arguably) easier.

by msephton 2y ago
But they can fix the issues that are bloating the app without those tools now that they know about them. Plus, it would be possible to figure most of this out just by looking casually at the size and structure of the IPA they're upload

You had me until the "users don't care". I'm a user and reported this issue which resulted in the post we're discussing. Bank management/developers don't care is the issue.
