I especially like this obscure bug in the RNG algorithm they're using, which is referenced in their Github README ( https://github.com/tagtime/TagTime ): http://github.com/dreeves/TagTime/i

It's not a distraction. We're two decades away from replacing coal, we could've replaced it today. As always, we're putting off optimal solutions for some solution that might materialize in the future while we slowly wea

This is effectively a solved issue though, isn't it? Even the given example of the Mariahilfer Str. still has road access and as per the wikipedia page "Für den Lieferverkehr ist die Zufahrt und das Halten bis 13 Uhr zulässig.&quo

It's telling that only the four biggest providers in Germany were able to take part in the auction because of how expensive it is. Not a lot of companies can throw billions at some spectrum before even building any towers or other infr

From what I've seen, compared to France, the UK and Austria, which aren't poorer countries, Germany still has comparatively expensive plans with less volume.

Unfortunately, nuclear seems to be toxic in Germany. There's no way any of the parties are ever supporting it, much less the green party ("Atomkraft nein danke"), which is gaining a lot of political ground in parliament and a

Coverage is pretty bad on anything that isn't D1 or Vodafone. O2 has okay coverage in cities, but anywhere else it's mediocre to bad.

The crazy thing I think is how expensive internet is, in whatever form, in Germany compared to the rest of Europe while simultaneously being so terrible.

I take it you're always reaching some small subset of HN readers - filtered by the kind of people who visit links by the kind of people actually interested in the topic, etc. I know that of the links that I do upvote, I probably only

You could do the same for a lot of things. And it still isn't as easy as you're imagining. Just look at Americans screaming about freedoms and gun ownership. It's the same clusterfuck. Pretending it's otherwise is just d

It's no more easily solvable than transportation or travel habits or any number of other sources of GHG. I think you underestimate how hard it will be to force people to change their eating habits significantly, but it's a change

We need to do a lot of things, not just change food production. We should do all of these things, not just change food production. I'm not sure why people are so laser focused on cattle when we need to make drastic cuts everywhere . T

You no longer need to architect modal editors, but I'd say most people see enough benefit in it that it continues to persist, despite modern keyboards having arrow and function keys. Hell, I only just learned vim a few years ago, and i

"GitHub actively encourages (at least) friendly hacking." Failing to see how this is a bad thing.

It surprises me that there are people that do. Everybody I know uses sci-hub, but you wouldn't know it looking at their papers.

This looks like fun. Does anybody know of other guides for different kinds of programs (other than compilers, which I've seen tons of here on HN)?

There are situations where I've considered using an e-scooter because existing infrastructure is insufficient or just plain unreliable. If a bus or two or three are cancelled and I'm really frustrated, even a car seems like a grea

No, your decision not to consume from the market is itself an action on the market. There's nothing forced about it. It's just a natural way of how things work, and it's an important aspect to consider when writing policy or

You could actually. Which is why I think it's really the wrong point to argue about. Almost everything we do is in some way involved with the market and has market effects.

Is it surprising though? Your consumption is an important part of any market. By removing your demand from the market, you're affecting it and the price of wheat or whatever good. At an individual level, it probably won't change t

Maybe 25th century people, instead of resorting to poisoning it, will find a way to assimilate disease and add its biological distinctiveness to our own.

I'd say one important point is that, in many places, public transportation is inadequate, completely overfilled, or both. If people are expected to move from cars to public transportation, many places just don't have the infrastru
