Re:Multiple Displays on a Mac Sucks on Friday April 26, 2024 @09:57AM (#40169461)
You can resolve this by putting the cursor in the center of the display where you want the dock to appear then move the cursor to the bottom of the display at an average speed.

Works everytime for me but this is also the reason why the dock moves to the wrong display!

Just open Doctolib and tell me it's the same when looking for any kind of doctor. The difference in waiting time is 3 months, bare minimum.
Finally. Germany combines some of the worst aspects of the US (credit ranking, complicated abortion process, private healthcare if you want decent treatments) with the worst aspects of Europe (low digitalization, high taxation, recursive federalism: within the country and within the EU).

A country like the Netherlands has its own issues (mainly housing) but doesn't have the myriad of pain points you can find in Germany like Schufa, anti-customer contract rules, or public healthcare inaccessible despite paying more than 400€/month for it as a single individual.

This is not a thing on HN because this is not a thing in real life. Over the sixteen-year period between 2005 and 2020, nearly three-quarters of the 138,230 tonnes of natural uranium imported into France came from four countries:

Kazakhstan: 27,748 tonnes (i.e. 20.1%);

Australia: 25,804 (18.7%);

Niger: 24,787 (17.9%);

Uzbekistan: 22,197 (16.1%).

Only Niger is in Africa, and France has 10 years stored in case of geopolitical conflicts.

Re:Ask HN: Is StackOverflow Dying? on Sunday January 29, 2023 @05:21AM (#34566749)
Reddit has constantly provided better results to my questions over the past year.

Also, most subreddits accepts posting detailed "Am I doing this wrong?" questions instead of only perfectly asked ones that have never been asked before. I find it a better balance than SO removing a question I spent 30 minutes formatting because someone asked a tangentially related question 5 years ago.

Re:The Shit Show on Sunday January 15, 2023 @05:14PM (#34394163)
Well-written and touching post. To switch off this API used by so many long-time users on the same day "For You" appears as the default option on Twitter triggers me. The "For You" timeline is only for Elon: it will drive engagement, extremism, and all the things social networks have been accused of driving for years now in order to make more $.

Some folks here have been comparing the crypto/Web3 and ActivityPub craze recently but I see a massive difference. A billionaire has spent the last 3 months shitting on what I thought was my social backyard. Crypto and NFTs did not impact how I use my bank accounts, Elon ruined in a quarter a very special place I had crafted over a decade.

Mastodon is not great right now, the UX needs to vastly improve, but all for-profit social networks have always disappointed in the long run. Looking back, few technologies have kept the same degree of greatness over the past 15 years: emails, torrents, RSS feeds... only tools no corporation fully controls. I hope ActivityPub can join that list fairly soon.

> On macOS does this replace Homebrew and MacPorts?

I use Homebrew for casks and the few CLI tools I need for all my projects (e.g. the Github CLI tool) and I use Nix for CLI tools I need to work on a specific repository using specific versions (e.g. node).

Re:Re-using the heat in bathwater in Britain on Sunday October 30, 2022 @04:44PM (#33398467)
Went for https://www.yuyubottle.eu/ after a bit of googling due to the cotton fabric + the strap, will test it this winter.
Re:Re-using the heat in bathwater in Britain on Sunday October 30, 2022 @03:44PM (#33397900)
Tangentially related: has someone found something less energy intensive than taking a bath while bringing the same degree of warmth?

I've been looking at heated blankets but they're all made of polyester which is not comfortable due to the moisture being trapped under the blanket. Heated seats in some cars are the closest sense of comfort I've found but that technology doesn't seem to exist for regular seats.

Where do you find VESA mounts that look the same as what you get with e.g. an LG 27UP850? All the ones I find online are ugly and badly-reviewed VESA mounts made of glossy plastic or arms which are not what I'm looking for (I want a classic mount).
Hi, I work on Grafana Alerting. Provisioning of alert rules (and other objects used for alerting) will be possible using a new API in Grafana 8.5 and we will update the Grafana Terraform provider right after to take advantage of this new API.
Re:James Webb is fully deployed on Saturday January 08, 2022 @02:56PM (#29855507)
Thanks for the link. I am interested in knowing more about the organization behind that project: how many people took care of the deployment, how are they organized, how has quality control been done.

https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-12-25/james-webb... gives some info but not an in-depth view of how things work at the NASA.

Re:Berlin buys thousands of apartments from corporate landlords on Saturday September 18, 2021 @09:39AM (#28576180)
Manhattan's population density is already 17 times higher than the one in Berlin so no, I wouldn't suggest that.
Re:Berlin buys thousands of apartments from corporate landlords on Saturday September 18, 2021 @09:08AM (#28575951)
Instead of buying what they sold two decades ago for practically nothing, they should have built more supply.

Open Google Maps and check Kreuzberg, a district of Berlin. South of it is Tempelhofer Feld, 355 hectares (a third of Kreuzberg), a discontinued airport next to the city only used for people to bike and do barbecues. It's an old airport so it looks bland and there are smaller parks right next to it offering the space to do barbecues and play with your dog. It's been a decade that this airport is not being used yet it's still in that state.

Paris' housing crisis is mostly due to the road surrounding it (le Périph') but Berlin doest not have that yet housing is getting more expensive extremely fast, faster than in Paris actually.
