From my view, komoot got a lot better since it was bought by BS. I don't know how they did this while laying off a lot of devs, but compared to the years before, a ton of useful things got shipped. Disclaimer: I have the yearly subsc

My guess is that analyzing the recorded activities is what komoot did to get useful elevation data.

Yes, agree. Some services (e.g. komoot) apparently have good data, or can work around it. Others are struggling with lack of precision in the DEM data. As much as I like the tweakability of BRouter, the tracks generated never give realisti

I am surprised at the other comments here that state sketching is a skill worth preserving. That's something the author of the article clearly states, hist call to discussion is about technical drawing by hand. And I'm surprised t

You don't have to use any plugins. You can put your obsidian vault anywhere you like, e.g. in a folder that is synched by nextcloud. I use a git repo for this, which works fine also on mobile.

In addition to that, many public libraries offer a service where one can lend ebooks. And this is integrated in the tolino. This is based on some DRM system from Adobe, though. But still, a nice thing as an additional source for ebooks.

Modern cartography is awesome, but the mechanical/optical devices that were used before the advent of the computer are just as cool. And hand-drawn maps like the swiss topo maps are a work of art. I am biased, though, my father used t

Living near a stretch of the Maginot line it amazes me to no end how much concrete is still around and will be for long time.

If you are interested in myog stuff, there's https://www.reddit.com/r/myog/ for you. Lots of inspiration and a place to ask questions (and have them answered).

In my personal perception, Mercedes AMG (do these count as Mercedes?) drivers are the worst by far.

In my childhood I always wanted a model tugboat with a Voith Schneider Propeller, but never could afford one. They are still around, in modernized versions with brushless motors. See for example https://www.hobbydirekt.de/Al

I use it for developing inside docker containers. We have a dockerized Apache Airflow setup for which I am adding plugins. Remote VSCode allows to work inside one of the containers spun up by docker-compose, so I do not have to simulate th

Also consider a gravel bike. Currently, it's my favourite type of bike. You do not have to stick to paved roads, which are infested with unattentive/aggressive drivers. A gravel bike with wide enough tires is a good compromise bet

These rules apply to racing bikes, not to bikes that are used everyday for commuting or recreation. If recumbents were so much superior to the classic diamond frame, they would dominate the non-racing-bike market. I rode enough recumbents

Out of curiosity: what do you cook that you do not get at Aldi? Myself, I could get more than 90% of the ingredients of most recipes at Aldi. Some things I buy at an Asian or Turkish store, and I have to buy most cheeses somewhere else. But

I have a Braun MX32 my mother gave me. Older than me, and I am old. This thing is so loud you want to use hearing protection. But it can knead 1kg heavy dough for e.g. pizza. Or whip the whites of 12 eggs. (Yes, I know the article is abou

Both for the kid and for the parents. For example, with single childs, you have to arrange play dates. If you have more than one, chances are, they play together. Another thing: with a single child, this one child has to fulfill all of the

The dynamic totally changes with three kids. I have three kids, and when one of them is not at home (doesn't matter which one) the atmosphere changes completely, hard to describe how. What I want to say: Having three is different from

I once made one myself. It was a touring bike in british racing green, and I thought it deserved a headbadge. So I engraved it on a piece of silver. Never took a photo of it, though...

That was my first thought, too. At first sight, Windows containers seem to run only on Windows hosts. Maybe the licensing is covered through the hosts' licencse (speculation: you can run n Windows containers if you buy license x for t

Cool, this is something I had on my project backlog. Actually, they had to monitor the same type of gas meter I have in my basement (and they are produced in my neighborhood). Currently, it seems I just have to lurk around on HN long enoug
