Since this article was published, it is no longer straightforward to have dual-nationality between Germany and a non-EU country - the UK in this context. They're considering it, but right now, you would need to give up your passport in

Or, perhaps, an extreme example of the individualistic human condition that is regularly seen in US business culture: Success: due to my own brilliance Failure: due to environmental factors (Not ragging on America, I love the US, but I do t

I thought Trump was a lawyer's nightmare client, and SBF is like, waitup hold all my beers. He's like a walking McSweeney's article.

Wrapping legitimate concerns with emotive clickbait, marvellous. Not everyone shares the RMS perspective, and those that do are particularly bad at getting the message out and explaining why people should care and why it's worth the tr

I wrote the above and then I thought about Ticketmaster and the other members of this cartel of shitcreeps and I remembered the booking fee, the insurance fee, the print-at-home fee (the you gotta be fuckin' kiddin' me fee) and wa

In America. This would not fly in Europe, I hope. Pretty sure menus have to be displayed out front with full pricing and service charges have their own rules.

Hardware lifecycle process may vary but it still needs to be accounted for. The activation lock removal is hardly an obscure hack, this is a process failure. Good on Apple for making these machines take their secrets to the grave.

I certainly feel like my brain is in charge when I wake up, long enough to get my clothes on and out of the house on the school run and back, at which point my stomach resumes control for the rest of the day.

This article is lazy, tedious bollocks and a total waste of time.

Victorinox swiss army knife circa 2007 ish. Broke into my old flat with it once. Billingham 550 camera bag I bought in 1992 for £150. Brilliant. Pilot Capless pen from 2013. Hundreds of miles of handwriting. About £130

Bloody love ExifTool. A one-liner scans a whole drive abd copies everything into dated folders elsewhere.

Well, I'm adding to the conversation here rather than wanting to directly rebut the Reddit post, which is best done on Reddit anyway. The original poster has written - at length - about a very small attribute, detail, which is not enti

Photographers would be better served concentrating on subject matter, body language, light and composition. I was just given a stack of stunning photography magazines from 1960s/70s Germany, printed on multiple types of paper and featu

I had never heard of it in 2005 when my future in-laws - Germany - started going on about it. But it is truly brilliant. I hear they're making a prequel!

Yes, outdoors has been horrible, haven't nailed this yet I feel. Indoors is fine. I'm not at all familiar with Instax wide and it's been twenty-plus years since I touched Instax mini, I suspect odd response curves but it&#x27

Heh, well, that was the main reason it took over a year for me to get around to doing any serious damage with it. The focus was out originally and my graflok is slightly broken so it took some fettling and frequent checking with a vernier t

An unusual article to see on the HN front page :) But enjoyable, I was out two days ago with my 4x5 Speed Graphic, using the Lomo Instax back that arrived almost 18 months ago and only just using properly. It takes me ages to get enough tim

This supposed argument of letting the "content" shine makes no real sense, because crappy design doesn't become magically less crappy because it suddenly looks simpler and flatter. Design is about solving human problems and h

Apple devices are nowhere near as playful and fun as they used to be. Source, just had to drag out and tidy my accidental collection of Macs and iPhones including my Mac classic and Powerbook 180 from the 1990s, a Titanium G4, a Powermac 81

Poor Wendy. I was literally thinking of her yesterday when I pulled out my original Clockwork Orange record. I would love her to do a masterclass and be able to extract some of her knowledge for my own experiments in electronic music. The w

No kidding, this was so publicly obvious on our ride with ostentatious displays of power and wealth that I still think about it years later.

Godot is pretty good, I wish I had more time to spend with it. DragonRuby reminds me of RubyMotion, the magical framework to write cross-platform apps that was also hopelessly disappointing and over-hyped. A complete waste of my money. And

That was interesting nevertheless. We really could do a massive public service by finding that case. The illustration won an award - advertising I think - and that's how the whole issue came to light. The illustrator genuinely didn&#x2

There was a clear precedent set many years ago when an artist did this exact thing and lost in court. The photograph was of a Native American in profile with specific headgear that was copied into a computer illustration. We are talking 199

I rode around Romania on my motorbike about six years ago. Jeepers. I also remember the revolution and the execution of the Ceaușescus. Possibly for the only time in my life can I reasonably say that they absolutely had it coming.

Fair comment, I just can't believe how many other tech people I know have been "investing" in this. Although, "greed ain't going anywhere" observed Joe Strummer.
