Re:Show HN: Learn German with Games on Wednesday October 29, 2025 @02:29PM (#45751045)
Native german speaker here, this is pretty nice!

One mistake I found though: in the clock game the game's solution for one o'clock times is "eins", like "eins Uhr dreissig" for 1:30am/pm. That's not correct, you'd use "ein" instead of "eins", so the correct solution would be "ein Uhr dreissig"

Keep up learning german, I know from non-german coworkers how hard the language can be to get a grasp on!

51. Using terribly thin fonts with low contrast colors leading to unreadable websites.
I'm curious, can you describe your ideas for filters/smart feeds a little more, or link to an older version of NNW that supported what you're looking for?

Nice article, but unless the database is "VACUUM"ed after the "DELETE" the rows are still readable in the database file. This kinda defeats the purpose of the whole article b/c the user didn't gain any more privacy than he had before the deletion :)
