hansoolo··on Show HN: "Interactive" Italian Poetry for English Speakers
Wow! You put so much effort into this! I'm German, but I am totally interested in languages in general and I love the sound of Italian. I would love to see a German / Italian version, but thank you for the great detail you put in this!
hansoolo··on OpenAI is too cheap to beat
That is disturbing. I didn't know about that dark side to it. Still thx for posting.
hansoolo··on Show HN: I built a virtual tabletop for playing Dungeons and Dragons
When I was still playing tabletops a lot, we had the luck of having an extremely creative game leader who was a graffiti artist. So our maps were drawn during the game, which was super awesome!

So do you just play online with strangers? Or do you also play in person?

Ah, that were great times back then...

I thought the same. He had the better results, but too late.

Is 'liebling' an english word?
hansoolo··on CCC Invites to the 37th Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg
I cannot understand your concerns about hotel rooms and food tbh. There's a hotel and a shopping center neighboring the venue. Also going to the city center is just 2 stops by train away (or by tram, but it's a longer ride).
hansoolo··on Where does my computer get the time from?
All of this beautiful discussion here tells me: time is a man made thing!

Wouldn't help me unfortunately, as I am reading HN on an android app. But good idea.
hansoolo··on RealFill: Image completion using diffusion models
This is a beautiful post! Thank you!
hansoolo··on The elderly are becoming homeless at a rate not seen since the Great Depression
>For some reason our "fix" is to group people into camps that forever have 50% of the population that can blame the other 50%. This way, no one ever feels at fault - they simply "switch sides" as soon as they perceive a bit more blame on them.

This says so beautifully what I, as European, never understood about the US political system. They say it's the THE democratic system in the world, but yet there are only two parties! How could that even work?!

I mean, we in Germany have a lot to deal with too. But at least we can balance our blame on at least 3 political parties....

hansoolo··on The vital art of talking to strangers (2021)
You can interact with strangers everywhere! In a queue in supermarket, in a football stadium or in a train.

If they don't want to talk you should be able to recognize it instantly.

What would you do in a totally overcrowded train or bus then?
hansoolo··on I digitalized Berlin's registration form
Spot on!
hansoolo··on Dennis Austin, developer of PowerPoint, has died
What I always wondered: is PPT = PowerPoinT or PowerPointPresenTation?
hansoolo··on NSO group iPhone zero-click, zero-day exploit captured in the wild
I thought of it as "it has been known to the public for 0 days". Basically it has been publicly unknown before.
hansoolo··on I'm 17 and wrote this guide on how CPUs run programs
Hi Lexi, pretty cool project you finished there! Congrats!

I was a little confused about how you only talked about the sources on the internet are kinda poor. But I didn't see any comments about books for research...

Did you use any? Can you recommend some on this topic?

hansoolo··on Just normal web things
I totally agree with all of this. But:

>Let me see scroll bars Please don't hide them for the sake of your "slick" ui. Sometimes I want to click on the scrollbar and drag it. Just a normal web thing.

I don't see any on FF Android :P

hansoolo··on Terraform best practices for reliability at any scale
Just stopped here because I had said XYZZY way too often in the last three hours xD
hansoolo··on Red algae proteins grafted into tobacco double plant growth
For all plants available, why tobacco?
hansoolo··on Germany is no longer exceptional, and joining the European mainstream
Am I allowed to make an assumption?

Chinas biggest advantage over anyone are their industrial spies. China has been unseen in the early 2000s, but they sucked up everything they could! I think the rebuilding Neuschwanstein in China should have been a huge warning sign then. After that they just used their brightest people (and they have a lot!) to spy on every piece of technology they can. How could they have become so big so fast?

German IT infrastructure made it easy to go everywhere and just grab what they wanted...

And now we are whining about their technologic advantage.

hansoolo··on FedNow Is Live
I am genuinely curious, how is this news? I can do real time bank transfers since... I dunno...

I never touched a check in my life and I get my employers payment mostly even before the end of the month?

hansoolo··on Show HN: Open-source resume builder and parser
Thanks! I was having this particular issue on a Windows PC.
hansoolo··on Show HN: Open-source resume builder and parser
Good one! I just tried it out because I need a resume and my old one was done really weirdly in InDesign ages ago.

One thing I noticed was the really weird (I am on Firefox) : When I tried to enter text in the additional box and bullet points were activated it would create a bullet point after every space I pressed....

hansoolo··on Travel across Germany with the 49 Euro ticket
I normally don't do that, but I felt the urge to remove that paragraph all together. It is not helpful in any way when visiting the city. And normally nobody cares about political tensions in city.
hansoolo··on Travel across Germany with the 49 Euro ticket
Couldn't have worded it better...

Sure, we have a racism problem in Eastern Germany. But I don't think a far right activist might jump out of the next bush in many cases. Leipzig should be the best of all these places. And to be fair, that kind of daily racism is a problem all over the country.
hansoolo··on Travel across Germany with the 49 Euro ticket
Thank you! It's a beautiful city and in contrast to that text, it is rather open minded city in contrast to other cities in Saxony, I suppose.

>Leipzig is generally safe, but visitors should be aware of far-right extremists in the area.

What the...?

hansoolo··on Ancient Greek terms worth reviving
Well, it is used in German as "übermorgen". I didn't know that it exists in English, too.
hansoolo··on Waymo One doubles service area in Phoenix, continues growing in SF
As we Europeans are very far away from seeing any of those, I have a question: how is the refuel / recharge handled? These are EVs, right? Do they some how do that independently, too?
