I saw a couple of people move to cohost.org. Some people are moving to Mastodon.

FreeCAD needs a drastic UI/UX overhaul and then some serious funding to get at the same level of todays CAD software.

> ABAP, the programming language of SAP, is quite nice nowadays

I took a brief look at the ABAP wikipedia article and this insanity [1] stood out to me. I think after a decade of SAP you are too brain-washed to give an objective opinion anymore.

Seeing a screenshot of the actual game made me laugh out loud. Your website does not represent the game at all.

Does Google ask the restaurants for permission to do that? Couldn't they get sued for damage of reputation when they show wrong prices?

I think a beginner mistake for handstands is not having the head in the right position. Look at a picture of a proper handstand, the head is always in front of the arms. Beginners often keep their head between the arms which makes it much harder to balance your body.

I find your attitude terrifying. I am glad you can handle your car now, but there are many thousand people driving those cars and they might not know how to deal with those "bugs". I am curious, are you currently holding Tesla stock?

You should base your decisions on life cycle costs not inital costs. What is the longevity of the car battery vs. house battery? How much does their disposal cost?

> I don’t know if a human driver could have been expected to do any better.

The problem is you can't communicate with an autonomous car. Even if the human driver doesn't know what to do you can indicate them to move in the right direction.

Or the radioactive waste?

Solve the Wordle.

Did you confuse 2020 with 2021? Because I can't find any other upwards around week 16 than tbe one in 2020.

Sure, but I noticed those similar posts always have the same keywords in them. This time it is "sheds" and I am a little bit in disbelief that someone is gonna post more about sheds :). The first post wasn't even about sheds, it was a question about hobbies.

I don't say that this bad or anything, in fact I like that every day has a different topic on the front page. If this is a natural phenomenon then I have not heard about it yet (and it might be interesting to research?).

Two other posts from today:

* Ask HN: Why does a busy man build a shed? (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29767682)

* Why I Live In a Shed (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29762145)

Does HN have some kind of mechanism that promotes posts with similar keywords?

People like you forget:

* Vaccination are meant to prevent the spread of the virus

* we don't know anything about long term effects of an Covid infection

* Covid could mutate into a super deadly virus if it stays around

Is any slightely larger than average factory building now a Gigafactory?

Sounds like a convoluted way of gambling on property values? I don't know why you would need NFT or crypto currency for that (other than making the whole scheme sound more complex and important to investors).

Antivaxxers, but also unvaccinated children. In the current Covid wave in Austria children 5-14 years old have the highest 7-day incidence.

Take a really low rez texture. Shrink every other pixel to the size of a single pixel on you screen. Now you got yourself a nice random brick texture.

Townscaper does that dynamically in a pixel shader.

> I have a lot of open source code that I love to share for things like education or private stuff, but if you want to use it for something real, you need to hire me.

Then you should share your code with a license that reflects that.

We don't know how to calculate turbulence, we can only predict it. It is the turbulence that create the uplift on a wing, so the author says we don't understand it.

Why does it only work on chromium?

How convenient for Google.

Idiot people harrassing the town are, not the people renaming it.

That's an idea that seems to be forming in the heads of a lot of people. I started working on something like that a couple of months ago. Blender is adding spreadsheet now. Excel is getting a more advanced language. ...

Yeah, let's do nothing and wait for something better (sarcasm).

I wonder what education or lack of someone must have to think that re-forestation is not the right thing to do right now. Planting trees is not rocket science and could for example be done with planes (like China does). Even when forests aren't enough to reverse climate change we can use wood instead of concrete as our building materials or use wood to make bio-fuel or bio gas all of which will reduce our CO2 footprint.

The author did not mention the key factor in this: Sufficient thermal insulation. Looking at the photo of his house, this type of modern house has at least 16 cm thermal isolation on the facade and at least 20 cm on the roof.

> We've had those type of character editors for years

Where exactly?

The old testament says that Moses received the 10 commandements from god and he wrote them down on stone tablets.

The author says that people with a doctor degree are always right. Moses would have written that down as well but he had no space on his stone tablets left.

> Why is it so hard to see code from 5 minutes ago?

Because you aren't using Vim: ":earlier 5m"
