johnofthesea··on New emojis in 2023-2024
> so one person sees a broken black box where another person sees the emoji

Yeah in general but in this case it is probably just me and few friends who use that site.

johnofthesea··on New emojis in 2023-2024
I use Emojis for my gardening site as icons for taxonomical families. So I would welcome some berries and maybe more vegetables.
johnofthesea··on Sadist – An old DOS game from 1998
I get your point, but it is not just for Polish speakers. I am not Polish speaker and can understand it because it is more related to my native language than English.
johnofthesea··on Ask HN: What is the best password manager available today?
I use it everywhere on ios and macos except maybe for my second browser (firefox)
johnofthesea··on Mark Zuckerberg abandons metaverse as shiny new toy appears
> I hate installing apps on my phone

That is why I do not have Whatsapp, Messengar or Insta in the first place. Using them through web browser is not good experience as well.

johnofthesea··on Blender 3.4
Maybe this will come one day. Revit and Rhinoceros do have python-scriptable 'nodes'.
johnofthesea··on Norway: Landlines will no longer be supported
Also 3G is no longer in Norway for some time.
johnofthesea··on Staying in Zumthor's Swiss Wooden Cabin
1- Those beams under the roof on the picture are not part of the interior. There is probably some insulation between construction and outside cladding. There is also some in-between construction.

2- If outside is painted it needs to be repainted at some point. There are also untreated facades or facades treated with fire [0]. Untreated wooden facade must have air gap behind to prevent rot. In case of untreated wood - color and shape is not stable. But in case of facade this is not issue. Structural elements and window/door frames should be treated though.

johnofthesea··on Ask HN: What is the most impactful thing you've built?
> as it was in Illustrator

I have also used your osm2ai Perl script. It inspired me to create own OSM processing scripts. I remember later, as student, writing these perl-scripts with pencil into small notepad while waiting at the airport.

johnofthesea··on Ask HN: What colorscheme are you using in your code editor?
One named Yesterday from this set: https://github.com/yl92/paddy-color-theme

I've just remade it for Sublime Text.

johnofthesea··on Using grape harvest dates to estimate summer temperature over 650 years
That depends on variety. White ones like Riesling will suffer with the hotter temperatures / higher alcohol content.
johnofthesea··on Advice for the next dozen Rust GUIs
Something like Photoshop/Gimp panels I guess.
johnofthesea··on Monsanto’s ghostwriting to influence science and media
I use "Organic" pesticides in vineyard and I'm not using it more. I use even less. The thing with "organic" farming is not only that you just spray and it's done. You need to do also other work to manage the healthy environment in your plot. Most people around who use conventional pesticides have neglected vineyards. They are only pruning in spring then tile rows in between, spray and thats it. They do not care about lateral shoots etc. Some even use herbicides - which is completely unnecessary especially in this age of mechanization (there are even electrical hoes for small scale farming).
johnofthesea··on Natural Wine, Inherited Money, and the Delusions of the “Future-Rich Millennial”
I'm not even fan of term 'natural' and I produce some.
johnofthesea··on David Rosenthal on cryptocurrencies
> It quotes sources who have admitted to lie to advance their agenda.

I mean just where did they admitted it? I am asking in good faith.

johnofthesea··on David Rosenthal on cryptocurrencies
Do you have proof?
johnofthesea··on Show HN: Keyboard Drill – Minimalist Typing Drill to fix common mistakes
I've tried to replace words (for different language) in console but `words` are defined as `const`. Any idea how to hack it?
johnofthesea··on English has been my pain for 15 years (2013)
> English phonetics are no worse than any other language- when the author writes phonetics he means spelling, which I suppose is more difficult than average (being Danish myself, I don’t see it as more difficult than “normal”)

But Danish is even harder. Written like Norwegian, spoken like Dutch.

johnofthesea··on Interactive maps of Europe in the 19th century
They have also 18th century [1]. Just bit smaller area.

johnofthesea··on When is the revolution in architecture coming?
> Architects don't give a shit about interior spaces. They have interns do the plans. What they are lauded for is the exterior, the big hall and the sky terrace.

This probably the true for those big and famous offices (especially the part with interns). But "Architects" is broader group then that. Smaller offices often do consider internal spaces. Also sometimes it is often challenge to design it in way that can survive yak shaving [1] in commercial projects.

[1]: this one often occurs even after original budget was met in the design. That is why public projects are more attractive to many architects even if they are often more modest.

johnofthesea··on Don't give up on having kids because of climate change
> Those things have existed for ever, and yet humanity has always found a way to move forward

This is different.

johnofthesea··on Shaded Relief Maps in Blender
Using Subsurface on BSDF instead of ColorRamp gives also nice result.
johnofthesea··on Lachlan Morton completes 5,510km Alt Tour, beating peloton to Paris by five days
> and 30% more distance closer to 40% so spreading the effort through hours per day is understandable.
johnofthesea··on OpenTrees: A data visualisation of publicly maintained trees around the world
Maybe rare in database. As example Vigeland park in Oslo, there is tree row with similar trees but one has typo som is marked as rare.
johnofthesea··on Three reasons fungi are not plants
There already are some product like this. At least for small scale gardening. Not sure about cost difference since I do not buy fertilisers.

I've already used it for about 40 tomato plants. But not sure if it really works (or at least that particular product). Will have to try with some control group next time.

johnofthesea··on Response to “WireGuard: great protocol, but skip the Mac app”
You can disable Gatekeeper.
