Oh I see! It displays good on mobile devices.

The draft looks nice. The text colour is a bit hard to distinguish from the surrounding background, and I don't have any eye conditions.

All seem nice until I get to see the search results.. which I cannot "read". It's very difficult to read an output that goes 5x boxes horizontally, and each such line goes then vertically on "forever". It's like yellow pages book from the 1990s.

Spain is classified as Southern Europe.

It was worse but I'm not sure people were less frustrated. Some outages back in 2012-2014 periods were so long that our dev team went for few pints to nearest pub.

Yyy not sure if Northern Europe where much of "development" happened on the Old Continent as a whole, is "substantially warmer" than NA.

Kids in the UK (and elsewhere?) can access the Micro:bit computer[0], while not the same and powerful/extendable as R Pi - it is cheap, good and plenty available. It includes a LED display and motion sensor. Kids can program it using "block coding", or write Python code that runs with the help of MicroPython[1].

Not really. I think it boils down that most cities (and their areas) in the UK are mixed: so you have few streets of expensive houses, and next to it could be a council estate.. In Paris for example, it's not so mixed and you will get whole districts that are poor and deprived. These districts are usually inhabited by immigrants, and forgotten by local govs. Hence the so called "no-go" zones.

head reads CSV row that has multiple lines.

Miller is being offered as "like awk, sed, head.." (emphasis on head - mine) and yes it offers more, but it does not behave "like" the *nix tools it refers to.

+1 for easy install (`dnf install miller` on my Fedora).

But seems like it cannot handle a simple use case: CSV without header.

$ mlr --csv head -n 20 pp-2002.csv

mlr: unacceptable empty CSV key at file "pp-2002.csv" line 1.

You have to explicitly pass it (FYI `implicit-csv-header` is terrible arg name)

$ mlr --csv --implicit-csv-header head -n 20 pp-2002.csv

While `head` obliges rightly

$ head -n 20 pp-2002.csv

The pricing modes are confusing - I've seen it at other websites too, is this some kind of trend?!

The issue: when I choose "yearly" subscription, the page still shows price per month. So you're about to charge me every month? Despite I chosen to pay yearly. And where's the "2 months free" if I end up paying monthly??

Your starter pack costs:

$79/m (in "yearly" subscription) - so $79*12 = $948

(or $79*10 ??? because of the "2 months free")

$99/m - so $99*12 = $1188

$1188 - $948 = $240 - so it's actually more than "2 months free".

It's super confusing and I leave immediately no matter how badly I just wanted to buy it.

Ditch Amazon. Support independent publishers/bookstores.

danke schön

I don't travel for work by train but for fun, so my experience is probably different to yours.

Some EU countries (Greece, Poland, Portugal) still have terrible, slow trains. Paris-Berlin takes 8h (fastest one) for about 877 km. Berlin-Gdansk takes 8h for about 400 km (!!).

I last traveled by night train about 20 years ago throughout Germany and Poland. It was terrible experience. But great if I was looking for a companion to beer, or surprise sex with random folk.

Also night trains are non-existent in some countries. For example in the UK, most trains run from 6am onwards on week days. Forget if you need to travel from York and be in London for 8am. We have some night services[0] that go out of London to Scotland/Cornwall but I see them more like touristic offer than for any economic reason.

That's what I'm going to do this August with my 3yr old as we'll be visiting friends and family etc.

I'd be taking a train to London (about 3h), then EuroStar to Paris (2h 15), then to Berlin (about 8h). Total time ~13 hours.

Flight time for me to Berlin is ~4h, but to get to Airport and the wait for boarding brings it probably close to 8h, but then I can't visit the relatives in Paris that easy.

Actually I don't like flying that much these days (the eco reasons aside).

The image classification app[0] written by Chris (creator of Phoenix) is IMO nicer example of single file Elixir/Phoenix app. I had some inspirational moments. Yes, I know it was probably linked on HN before.

> What I basically want is something that I can rsync to and that is served by a CDN...

Genuine question: and what would you pay (monthly/yearly) for such service? Let's say CDN serves all visitors from EU/NA.

I developed a service for similar purposes last year (I became tired of S3..), but I had some "blockers" with pricing strategies and I'm not a PR person so the product gained very little traction. It's offline now due to my other commitments but I'm keen to look into re-starting it again if there's enough interest.

Try these words: banana, penguin, pistol, octopus...

Perhaps the icons won't be useful for real apps.

I'm describing how bad this particular paywall is implemented. Fyi some paywalls will server-side render the article excerpt only. No way to bypass it without active subscription.

The UX there is pretty bad (I'm just normal user). Opens tab in the background, goes to read after a while. See large picture and single paragraph of text. Hmm weird (no info it's subscription based or whatever). Opens again and there's full content available until some laggard JS hides it.

5 internal microservices? I thought the Supercharged™ had deployed 256 microservices last week alone.

Meditation is looking into one's mind to uncover the dirty things that one will have to face and "improve" upon. I meditate since 2011.

This might work... however I can't see myself doing these things, for reasons that I have no time nor intention. Where I live (UK) the snakes are rare things in the wild, so I really have no desire to fight my fear of them. Simply put, they don't exist in my day-to-day living and that's good. Except when I go to read random post about programming language...

Ehm, stop the snakes boarding the plane(!).

I know it's Python and it's supposed to be all snakes and games, but for someone who suffers from ophidiophobia (fear of snakes) when I see one unexpectedly my whole day is ruined (that's it: I see snakes everywhere attacking me).

I've been programming in Python for 20 years (the current logo is from 2006..), and while snake pictures included in articles about Python programming are rare, they trigger that fear in me (and possibly other folks).

No problems with cartoon snakes etc.

Nice one! However I'm not trying/paying for a service that its own terms and conditions look like unfinished business. Sora is "a company"... Hmm. No basic details who's behind it. Then there's this "Our servers are located in." In where exactly? Lots of questions probably.

As a young parent (of 2 year old who loves soft toys), these used toys here are quite expensive IMHO. Not that I always buy new toys because my kid is "the special one". In fact, we found a very good condition large tractor at charity shop at 50p.

What code?!

All I see is grey boxes with some small text. Can't bo bothered to work my eyes out.

36 HTTP requests totaling 459kB of random things to render a simple (and single) html input ?? Truly personalized experience.

Wow. That 3rd party providers list is so long they implemented a search box for it.

I miss the old days of working with XSLT and XPath. A nice way of giving some design touches and filtering/sorting to XML documents. It wasn't perfect but I would take any time over the yaml/json/toml/ini.

+1 The shutdown evening routine is amazing! I usually read a book and fall asleep after just few pages and sleep through the night very deeply. Some evenings I would go back to old habit of browsing on the phone, and then the sleep quality is terrible.
