Or it shows the road number and not the name.

As someone who is in the market for a Leica m2, the prices have skyrocketed in the past few years.
Re:Show HN: I made a tool to hide HN usernames and reduce bias on Tuesday August 16, 2022 @05:35AM (#32480838)
The only time I look at usernames is when looking at thread replies to see if the person replying is the same.

It doesn't work as it once did, Google will still ignore +keyword, It broke with the introduction of Google's social platform Google+

The sidebar work for me with a long press. I would have know to try it if I didn’t read your comment, it isn’t very obvious or intuitive.

First time I've came across the Universe Splitter was from This American Life with a good layman explanation.

I thought it was clever and fun and reminded me of when people added creative touches to their websites.
Re:Does anyone ever use the walkie-walkie function on iWatch? on Wednesday February 16, 2022 @05:42AM (#30358392)
I've tried it when we first got the watches last year. It worked with various success, but sometimes it would start a facetime call on the receivers phone so we stopped using it.
Re:Flexbox Froggy – A game for learning CSS flexbox on Tuesday February 08, 2022 @06:35AM (#30257258)
Would love to see a tailwind version of this. As I know the class names and what the properties do, I just forget the syntax without the help of an IDE.

I can't read the article as I'm in the EU but Criminal podcast had a great episode about lottery rigging.

Re:Ask HN: Getting film developed cheap in the US on Sunday January 30, 2022 @11:34AM (#30138567)
Developing is still a good option. I develop then scan my photos. Color is arguably easier to develop than b&w, you need a constant temperature and time but you don’t have to worry about pushing or pulling.

Not sure if this is entirely what you are after but Andreas Kling of SerenityOS builds an IDE from scratch[1] for his own operating system. While I don't personally know C++ I found the videos interesting and fun to watch.

Re:Ask HN: Falling Asleep to Podcasts on Friday January 07, 2022 @11:52AM (#29841440)
I sometimes listen to podcasts to fall asleep. I use the PocketCasts[1] app that has the ability to pause the podcast after an episode is over or after a certain length of time, which is nice if you just want it to fall asleep too and not play all night.

Podcast wise my goto is Phoebe reads a mystery[2], she reads various mystery novels and never fails to get me to sleep (sorry Phoebe). She is also the host of the Criminal podcast which is another good one, but too interesting to fall asleep to.
