I got the German version of this from the library when I was a kid:

https://www.worldcat.org/title/great-international-paper-air...

It has designs from this competition:

There is also a second book:

Great overview! To the note under the second figure under “VERTICAL RHYTHM”: “Unlike in print and graphic design, the baseline grid lies right in the middle of the lines.”

Actually – before DTP – designers did it like that in print as well:

>That said, German pronunciation is more regular than English pronunciation.

Like I just wrote in another comment: the quoted part of the interview is low on facts and consists mainly of opinion. Yes, the U.S. tapped Merkel's phone. Russia and China spy on Germany as well, though I don't know how good their phone tap capabilities are. That headlines like “Vladimir Putin has listened to cellphone of the German chancellor for ten years” “would lead to revolutionary circumstances in Germany” is total nonsense in my opinion.

I assume Jebsen and Wimmer try to suggest that Germany is not a sovereign state. Points like that are often made in their circles and link to the “Reichsbürgerbewegung”.

My comment is by definition not ad hominem. The part of the interview you quoted is low on facts and consists mainly of opinion. I would like to help the non-German audience on Hacker News to be able to classify the positions of the persons involved. That is why I also provided links with sources. Ken Jebsen and Willy Wimmer are part of what we call in Germany the “Querfront”: that literally translates to “cross-front” and in the historical sense is the term used for anti-democratic strategies to combine the opposing ideologies of nationalism and socialism in order to assume political power in the Weimar Republic. Internationally the modern iteration is known as “Third Position”. Today you can find those positions in every political party. They have in common that their positions are anti-American, anti-NATO and pro-Putin. So Mr. Wimmers CDU membership doesn't come in to play.

My translation from the introduction of “Rechte Hetze im Netz - eine unterschätzte Gefahr” by Patrick Gensing: “This heated atmosphere is fired by pro-Russian strategists who propagate a close alliance with Putins Russia. The result is a cross-front that wants to impose an authoritarian-nationalist system.”

Ken Jebsen is an anti-American, right wing conspiracy theorist

Both he and Willy Wimmer toe the Kremlin line

It's more about budget cuts. Public pools need to be maintained and modernised in the same way as commercial ones. Here in Germany communities decided to save money by closing or privatizing public pools. When I was a kid there were enough public pools around where schools could offer swimming lessons. Those are now either gone or replaced by much more expensive private ones.

Apple maps doesn't know anything about bicycles either.

Concerned only pre-2009 models or earlier, needed physical access as well. AFAICR.

What font do you use to read hackernews? Because in Verdana those are exactly the same. Tried some other fonts in inspector but think your thin spaces could be even thinner :)

Hackernews defaults to Verdana—a known terrible font-design. Dashes should be visibly thinner than hyphens. And the reply-box is in monospace, so I can't see difference between the en- and the em-dash. In German we use the en-dash with leading and trailing space instead of the em-dash.

I love that essay. But at least German pronunciation is more regular than English: “Dearest creature in creation, Study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verse Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.”

I grew up in northern Germany. Being able to understand Low German helped immensely with learning English.

Well, too much headwind I guess, ban already ended:

Curious how much headwind this will generate. Other critics and award groups already boycotting Disney screenings in solidarity:

Would love to hear details.

Liberal supreme court judges do not materialize out of thin air, do they?

The Interview that starts at 5:50 seems to be the one where this pre-show clip is from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzDBiUemCSY CNN dates that video to 1978 though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb9YTXmPolo

Please, stop spreading that myth: http://www.zdnet.com/article/stop-the-lies-the-day-that-micr...

I tried f.lux on the Mac and was very disappointed with the results. To me it looked like a red film overlaid on the screen. Distracting and ugly. Night Shift on iOS looks much more natural.

Won't even start without admin password, I'll pass.

Interesting. But I see only fairly old stuff there. And I'd guess only downloads from a single day or week a few years ago.

Nope. Part of kernel as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XNU#BSD

Why? For what?
