Organic Maps 17 days ago

Please no. This is why I left Maps.me, every time I opened maps.me I'd have to click through ads.

This is what I came to HN for too, usually it works well, but yeah not so clear in this one.

I check the comments, if it looks interesting then I'll read the article.

My app launcher loads as soon as it's triggered (4 fingers swiped in). There is a weird 5ms glitch on the zoom in animation, but otherwise it loads in within a few ms, and scrolling is smooth. I'm on a M2 MBA macOS 26.3.1

Edit, but don't take this as me saying I like the current state of macOS. There are plenty of weird edge cases I wish they'd fix, but on the whole the OS works fine for me.

Personally I'm fine with the scammy ads. I feel most people who would use CPU-Z are pretty technical and should be able to tell the difference between an ad download button vs the real one.

That, and you should already be using an ad blocker.

It's also abused by soo many devs, just wanting there app to be seen 24/7 by the users, regardless if there app gains anything from being in the menu bar. That's why many users run out of space. Most people don't look at settings or ways to remove them (if they even give an option), so they quickly fill up the menu bar. Back in the day without a notch, people would have so many that some menu items would disappear too.

Even the built in venv would've solved most of his issues too. But I agree with him in that Python documentation could be better. Or have a more unified system in place. I feel like every other how to doc I read on setting something Python up uses a different environment containment product.

FFmpeg 8.1 4 months ago

I find it helps if you paste in the the ffmpeg manual and get the ai to use that as source. Helps it stick to real params.

I love how you can scob the timeline and the weather updates as you move it, in real time. It's the biggest thing I don't like about Windy, it's so slow/laggy when changing the timeline. (Maybe it's better if you live in the US, but here in NZ, it's pain)

While maybe not the best work ever done by govt. It's the first thing (as a non-US person) that I've seen that the govt is trying to do something about the unhealthy % population of the US.

Though I wish they'd go after sugar/processed foods/drinks industry. And increase healthy foods in stores. Get rid of white bread etc, put in real whole meal bread (like they have in Germany)
