What is your city? What anti-car policies were implemented? Did city offer viable altenatives to driving?
Re:You probably don't need Oh My Zsh on Saturday January 10, 2026 @10:37AM (#46566573)
Oh My Zsh adds bloat but sets sensible default settings compared to vanilla zsh. I tried using zsh without OMZ and I realized how many things are in OMZ which I took for granted, especially keybindings.

~150ms with minimal setup is good enough for me, although I would prefer <50ms.

Re:I Lost Faith in Kagi on Friday April 12, 2024 @12:50PM (#40014998)
I am Kagi subscriber because I think their search is great. I would like them to focus on it.

I don't care about closed-sourced browser nor their AI offering

Re:Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix on Wednesday March 13, 2024 @06:22PM (#39698311)
Very cool. I will try it out as replacement of nix profile.

flox install/show/search in $HOME looks like way better UX

Re:OpenStreetMap but as terminal user interface (TUI) program on Tuesday January 17, 2023 @10:38AM (#34413752)
At the moment it's unreadable. Maybe using kitty protocol would allow for image better quality?
Re:Signal Introduces Story Time on Monday November 07, 2022 @01:10PM (#33509655)
I don't like stories but at least there is a way to opt-out. Many people do like them and expected them so it's understandable move
Re:3D OpenStreetMap on Sunday November 06, 2022 @07:32AM (#33491889)
Only if there is no additional information. Most buildings have polygon on ground level and height/number of levels. It's possible to make more complex shapes
Billboards in the middle of a sidewalk? That's crazy
Re:Where else in London are there pylons? on Wednesday October 26, 2022 @06:04AM (#33341681)
There are many solar plants not mapped due to lack of high quality, up-to-date aerial/satellite imagery, or volunteers. Germany is country mapped best, not necessarily having significant share of solar.
