Pückler is a fascinating person and most of the stories about him sound so unreal, Hollywood would outright reject scripts containing them. If you ever find yourself to be in Berlin with an extra day to spare you should take the 1.5 hour dr

Huh, iTunes is not a thing anymore... so how would that work exactly? Genuine question, what do I miss here?

If you haven't yet: Now's the best time to migrate away. You should try out Kirby[0]. No affiliation, but this thing sparked my interest in web development again when I first heard about it. [0] https://getkirby.com&#x2F

It's the story of good hardware but bad software all over again. I always wondered why except for Apple nobody gets this right. I know, it's somewhat totally different, but man, it surely can't be that hard (especially not ef

Because it is stupid, that's why. If only I had a dollar for every time I was blocked somewhere just because somebody else had used the IP just before me to do bad stuff. Worst offenders out there never clear the list, even. In a world

Oh yeah, true. Thanks for pointing out. It's just that in Europe the data is much more sparse to begin with. In many places Google didn't go multiple times, so there just can't be older data. On some streets however I see tha

As a hobby historian (not really haha) I'm interested in old streets and names particularly. Especially here in Europe / Germany, where entire quarters where bombed to rubbles newer streets do not match neither namely nor spatiall

Very sad to see it gone. It was always some kind of last resort. Internet Archive is lovely, don't get me wrong, but it relies mostly on people actively queueing up sites to save. So most of the time for more obscure sites where the bi

On a related note: Those ships are highly sought after. At some point there will probably a startup using this data to salvage all these ships. Why? Because it was before the nuclear bomb and all the other desasters that followed which actu

I agree. Horrible writing. For a while I thought it's just some LLM output. Not worth reading anyway, so you've lost nothing, OP.

The US has done much much more nefarious things. I think it is totally possible – and convincing for that matter. But another commenter already pointed out that she was pressed to write the book like that.

Good to know. Thanks for pointing it out.

There is a very good book by the french journalist Florence de Changy about MH370, which "solves" all the issues with most of the theories out there and proposes what really happened. So far I've not come across a more sophis

Can't say that I've had a bad experience. Love eSIMs! In my iPhone I have one physical SIM for my private number and an eSIM for my business number. Works great. When traveling I disable the business number and instead use Airalo.

It is bug ridden, with a long standing crufty code base nobody really knows how to interact with. It is getting some love nowadays, yes, but I think it will take some ages for it to be modern enough to have more devs willing to work on it.

I second those killer features. Which software/apps are your favorites? I love Goodnotes, but not having infinitve canvas is a problem for me indeed. A bit weird to have physical constraints employed on a device living in the digital w

Well, because I'm paying. I get that free tiers need some kind of "rate limiting" (because essentially this is that, as well). So even if I am a bot: I payed for the service. Apart from that: The experience is shitty. Do not

Took a .dxf file and fed it to Magika. It says with confidence of 97% that that must be a PowerShell file. A classic .dwg could be "mscompress" (whatever that is), 81%, or a GIF. Both couldn't be further from the truth. Com

Amazing how the hostility is perpetuating all through HN here as well. I have seen (and sadly self experienced!) this kind of story way too often. And let me tell you this: This guy is now burned by this bad interaction and is successfully

That's of no surprise, because OpenGL does not work. Pretty useless, considering how many apps use that nowadays.
