To be fair though: "That code is horrible! Who the hell wrote this?!" git blames sees their own name Isn't that an experience everybody makes? For me it was like a year into working professionally. And I feel it's pa

Fair enough, you're not a fan of how modern buildings look. But how is that extremely insulting to you?

Can you elaborate what you mean? Are you against the idea of European cooperation in general? Or against the implementation? If there is to be European cooperation that goes beyond heads of states talking to each other, you're going to

"more or less dead when I was old enough in the early 00s" Think it was just your peer group then. It's still very much a thing. Did it in my youth twice, once at 16 years once at 18 around 2010. I know my cousin who is >1

I don't want to discount your experience or judge that particular event. I just disagree with calling for authoritarianism in response to that. Happy that you are happier :) I'm German, so in general I find it refreshing when peop

You may have a point but you're discrediting yourself by using extreme hyperbole. Authoritarianism would be you and your family getting picked up and interrogated sometime at night for this critical comment you just made. And saying &q

Tell the agent that they should just find and name the right document. Not retrieve it for you. Write a program that retrieves the document based on the recommendation.

What claims are you talking about? I've never heard or read anything about the EU planning on investing money in Mistral. They're a private company. They're French. It honestly sounds kind of absurd.

I'm pretty sure that if you build your PWA in a way it works offline through caching (which is easy if it's just a static website), you could host/serve it temporarily and just install it once.

Eh, I think this is actually not a specifically American thing. More of a neo-liberal mindset. Competition may be good in the long term. But a monopoly now may mean more money in your pocket now. The tech giants definitely give the US some

I thought that these type of antitrust laws are in no way enforced anymore in the tech industry. And that it's been that way for decades. I mean the sheer existence of Google shows that right? What about Maps, Mail, Books... basically

Haha that's awesome! I'm in my thirties and these past few months I've been playing Trials rising with a high school friend. We used to play this 15+ years ago in school. Thought about developing my own as well (how hard can

Ah thanks, didn't think about that. I just checked and REWE only lets you sort by absolute price. But honestly, you can compare prices so much better on their website than in a physical supermarket already [0]. [0] https://w

Can you share them? I recently looked for such projects and didn't really find anything that works well. The issue is that each market sets their own prices and I believe REWE is the only large one where you can fairly easily scrape th

Haha man, I think this is a cool project, the REWE API is cool, the REWE delivery App and Website are cool. Certainly not spreading fear, uncertainty or doubt. What you describe as B2B2C is exactly what chefkoch does. And it's exactly

by Bewelge 6mo ago
Oh nice, thank you. Will check it out later! What I suspect though: They mainly show current discounts. The REWE API exposes those as a separate list for each market. There's around 3.5k markets and each can set their own discounts an

Just to be clear, my mixed feelings don't come from a moral standpoint. Just hoping they don't lock it down any further heh ;-)

Think it's context dependent whether it's a good or bad thing. The owners of German supermarket and car companies are really the richest of the rich in Germany (okay and maybe the SAP guy on top). It would definitely be a net posi

B2B: Look at chefkoch.de They do use the REWE API, and I'm guessing not without their knowledge B2C: Is it really surprising that a busines has no interest in providing more price transparency to their customers?

Cool project, but have mixed feelings about publishing ever easier ways to access this API. They've locked down the API a while ago for a reason. Also there already exists this reverse engineered project: https://github.com&

Oooh Can you elaborate a bit how the gazette is publishing them? Like what format did you have to parse. And how many documents were there in total? I tried doing the same for German laws 1-2 years ago but LLMs weren't smart enough yet

Maybe they meant "Not hard != quickly done". I don't think many people think bureaucracy is especially difficult. It's just time consuming. But frankly if they meant that, the statement doesn't really say anything a
