Something with several layers? Old town, New town and space between.

johnofthesea··on Why do transit agencies keep falling for the hydrogen bus myth?
Same for me with boats in Oslo (but less than 10 years).
johnofthesea··on Rwandan scientists develop local yeast for banana wine-makers
Optimal temperature for yeast in general is between 25-30C, for grape wine optimal fermentation is usually between 15-20C (white) 20-25C (red).

So 35C is interesting. 350 would be too much even if it was Kelvin.

johnofthesea··on Apple Invites
I remember seeing everyone with iPhone >10 years ago in Norway. Then it dropped - it was pretty visible that is why I remember. Haven't been paying attention about last ~4 years.
johnofthesea··on What other communities do you use apart from HN?
Curated corner of Mastodon. Open-source projects use Zulip/Discord/Matrix as forums so I go there as well. Others like sub-Reddits, HN or blogs I access mostly through RSS feeds. (With occasional exceptions like now.)

For surface-level information/news there is huge overlap in those places. Many duplicates. My 2025 resolution is to be less online.

I used to be on Instagram around 2010 till Facebook bought it and changed it from community to influencers-infested algorithms and ads - I have no time for that.

johnofthesea··on Ask HN: Which language for Advent of Code in 2024?
This year I will go with Nushell.

(Maybe will cheat with making Nushell plugin in Rust).

The ones with string could be also quite big.

Wish there was also something with Miller columns.
johnofthesea··on Twenty Years of FM Synthesis Inside Ableton Live
Probably not pure FM synth, but what about Aalto from Madrona Labs?
johnofthesea··on Swimmable Cities
Austria and Slovakia
johnofthesea··on Swimmable Cities
Also bit further down in Bratislava (even with decreased quality from Morava tributary).

Especially gravel beaches near Hainburg (which is technically not Bratislava) or on the other side between Devin and Karlova ves.

johnofthesea··on Swimmable Cities
It is probably not that uncommon. I've been swimming both in Oslofjord and Danube (AT, SK).
johnofthesea··on European summer weather linked to North Atlantic freshwater anomalies
I was posting it because there was -20 during winter. But now I checked [0] and it seems that anomalies are even further north.

Or NI Reaktor.
johnofthesea··on Somafm
I somehow periodically forget about these stations so this post and this comment also reminded me that there is also dfm.nu - not universal as di.fm or somafm, but still interesting.
johnofthesea··on The night train revolution has been hailed as an alternative to airplanes
I think there are some trains like this. But unfortunately it is rare. Even for bicycles, ÖBB NightJet has just 3 places (with exception Vienna-Amsterdam, that has more).
johnofthesea··on We’re all just temporarily abled
I was born with sort of disability. From relatively early age I was presented with the reality that I would have to have heart surgery later in life. So I have tried to enjoy life till that moment. And then the moment came. It was not that bad and, even if I'm not Wout Van Aert, I can still enjoy things like bike commuting. I do not consider my self unlucky but privileged. It is not ideal but it is how it is. I'm not waiting for afterlife.
johnofthesea··on New emojis in 2023-2024
Hh sure I even like to create some. But for this purpose I do not bother. I need something small that I can just use for personal purpose. It works well with outdoor internet - where it is used. Adds bit of accent on minimal site to ease the navigation.

I do not really care if they add more veggies etc. I mentioned it as user-case in context of adding random Emojis.

I have used Font Awesome back in the days. Have not used this one yet. Bookmarked just in case. Thanks.
