It's probably the map tiles from openstreetmap.de, which show names preferably in German. Unlike the tiles from openstreetmap.org, which show names in the country's native language by default.

Umlauts are always sorted like the base letter + e in German, so as are, or, ue. However, I think with accent-imsensitive they meant that accents that don't exist in German are simply ignored when sorting. So you wouldn't have Ger

Typical metro maps are quite complicated to automatically calculate. At least I know of no efficient algorithm and force-directed layout doesn't really work, since you want the stations in roughly the right place, especially relative t

In a similar case TypeScript even knows the signature of the event handler for addEventListener, and what type of Element document.createElement('div') returns. Someone even built typings for querySelector that parse the selector

Interesting. Something similar to this was my diploma thesis, although I wasn't able to find this as prior art. My intentions were mostly to have text adjust itself beforehand to the reader's preferences and pre-existing knowledge

I think the LaTeX compatibility came in a fairly recent version, but the usual Unicode-based syntax is already a lot easier to type (especially on non-US keyboard layouts) and read, since it's a lot more compact and uses whitespace to

Isn't that look mostly a mapping of the observed wavelengths into the visible spectrum? I think at least for some of those images the different colors correspond to different chemical elements, which makes for pretty images _and_ some

It's not an effect. It's a diffraction artifact that's a consequence of the telescope construction. Explained here for example: https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/james-webb-spikes/

I actually felt a little bad when I electrified my son's play kitchen to add lights and went for an Arduino Nano. That's a bunch of lights along with some programming (microwave timer and state machine, dimming when idle, undimmin

Mead is also called honey wine in German at least, so not exclusively fruit (at least if it's used with a qualifier). That's only in normal speech, though, as the trade name 'wine' is exclusively for grape wine.

Similarly, the Bodensee contains the borders between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, but the lake itself belongs to all three.

Similar here; got my driver's license at 30. The first thing I noticed behind the steering wheel was that drivers in cars have basically zero visibility of their immediate surroundings due to the various pillars. Took me quite a while

Interesting. The same unpredictability would hold for children as well, wouldn't it? And I hope at least there the conclusion isn't the same.

I've found cycling in winter (with snow or ice) much easier with studded winter tyres (and some care ... can't go 25 km/h over ice with those, either).

Doesn't Excel already do this on its own? It's based on an IE control in my ancient version (2010), but perhaps it has been updated by now.

The same may have been said about most other technologies introduced. The fact that a Windows .exe can do a lot more because it has access to DirectX doesn't invalidate the effort made in a demo of the same size made for the C64. There

Most times I take the train is visiting my parents and it's a 9–10 hour journey. Considering that total time, half an hour certainly isn't that big of a deal. And by car the same distance would take nearly the same time, if not mo

I guess especially with synths you may also need to incorporate not just the notes, but also the synth settings. I'm not sure there's much support for that in traditional notation.

The graphics modes also varied wildly regarding text readability (with sometimes different fonts or different font sizes at least). This approach let them have just normal text as it otherwise also appeared.

Basically btoa was probably a quick hack implemented to treat JS strings as byte arrays and then lived on with that behavior. The sensible API approach nowadays would probably be for a Base64 encoding to take a TypedArray as well as functio

Inline ASM might be somewhat opaque to the compiler and interfere with optimization in general. It's not in the IR format that the optimizer uses; register allocation is probably up to the ASM code, not the compiler's choice, perh
