Paris (my city): you already noticed than bus and metros have different prices. You can transfer from metro to metro or metro to trains, it doesn't charge another trip if you have to pass barriers, unless there's a system failure... Apart from the monthly pass, us locals have a kinda new offer (2 years ago) that allows all transfers, should have been like that for ages! Yes, two apps, but you can buy a 2€ plastic card instead. Knowing what and how to recharge this card (or the app) would need a whole post.

Munich (recent holiday)

close to what you described for Warsaw: buy a weekly pass from a machine, it comes already stamped, the ticket won't leave your wallet ever again (no need to show it unless there are controllers). There are zones and you can buy extension tickets. And there is an app too.

Lovely! (I saw a few examples in "tests")

Next step : insert the Applesoft Basic assembly code and allow programming in Basic through SQL

We got an article today : "Apple App Store Is Flooded with AI Slop and Legitimate Developers Are Paying" (forbes)

(557,000 new apps to Apple’s App Store; a 24% jump from 2024). Who is right?

Do you win more if you bet for the train you're on

Ad blockers will evolve, they will read LLM output and filter out ads and the reasoning leading to ads, unless the user's question was about asking for the best product to do something.

Everytime I see such TVs, theres a "No signal" popup on it. Why?!

First time I managed to one-life it after paying for 10 lives, I was happy and pissed at the same time!

looks cool! I often lookup something on the PC and then want to send part of the result to friends...

saves shortcut

1 : open the Facebook app.

Nope... I'm using a link to my Facebook homepage saved on the home screen.

(looking at the "RX-80" box sitting next to my desk that contains student memories) This is a cool website, thanks for making this!

Ideascope: An AI-powered platform that generates personalized, innovative startup ideas by analyzing real-time trends and data from Hacker News and other tech communities

Yep, I think this may be possible :p

I have a mouse shortcut that answers "Hi" so that I dont need to reach to my keyboard to answer. But if they keep on with "How are you?", they can go to hell, I'm not answering.

New fear unlocked : account frozen due to sudden peak of activity (which happens logically if you _use_ it).

Cloud as backup #2, a hard drive as backup #1 and another hard drive in another location as backup #3

Looking forward to the Louis Rossmann video. It may be as long as the fishy one, there is so much to tell about how we're getting effed...

Bought a Technics M12 at a garage sale. When I plugged it in, it had an horrible hiss when playing, even with no tape in it.

Solution was simple : put a blank tape then record, play, record, play short chunks of tape in order to clean the record/play connections in the mechanism. Problem solved.

Yep... https://xkcd.com/2169/

Is it only for public posts, or also private ones ?

I wouldn't post private information in a public area, but I happen to exchange adresses or account numbers in private messages, as I would do in emails. Not on X since I'm not on the platform, but any other one will do the same if not already done (e.g. Reddit).

Yes I noticed. Thanks for the link, there's a great post from eitland (first answer : reporting a bug to get unassigned from A/B testing experiments), I will try today.

Good bye Ublock Origin... oh wait, pardon the typo. Good bye, Chrome.

Chrome?

I switched to Firefox a few years ago, when Chrome would only play Youtube with 480p resolution. Too bad, the Youtube/tv interface was slick.

HN and Toot look robust, considering all the comments with separator examples. Perhaps some comments were detected and rejected.

The algorithm wouldn't push any blocks, but just walk along the way to your destination, way faster than doing it by hand

I was writing about subs to channels. I'm from France btw, but I made the math with dollars. Actually it's the exact same figure in Euros, yet $1 = 0,9€

Nice tool! I like the human like handwriting, but I'd prefer a more adult one.

Writing the denominator first looks weird to me, same as writing the square root symbol after what's under it.

You can use this sim to subscribe to Youtube, they will ask 14.99 zl instead of $4.99, that converts to $3.85 ;-)

And the "checking you're human" popup with the three dancing dots

I remember playing Sokoban on Mac around 1994. This version had something I never saw since then: when you clicked on a square, your character would move automatically to that square, provided there existed a path. This was VERY convenient and I miss it.

Looks interesting. When will the article be peer reviewed ?

Magic hexagons exist. We want Parker hexagons now.

For sure, but Crowdstrike eventually hosts a subproject some random person in nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003 :p
