Small idea for improvement: the "fast" text is often over the same space as the ball, which makes it harder to see where the ball would be going.

> "Iran will demand that shipping companies pay tolls in cryptocurrency for oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz, as it seeks to retain control over passage through the key waterway during the two-week ceasefire."

If they really will start doing so for all shipping, that would be odd since the straight itself is in Oman's territorial waters. Even so, the UNCLOS convention (2) requires free transit:

> Article 44 > Duties of States bordering straits > > States bordering straits shall not hamper transit passage and shall give appropriate publicity to any danger to navigation or overflight within or over the strait of which they have knowledge. There shall be no suspension of transit passage.

It would be unprecedented and unlawful, but I guess previous actions of Israel, the US and Iran have shown our world is beyond adhering to laws and agreements now.

I can imagine their models have been trained on a lot of websites before opt outs became a thing, and the models will probably incorporate that for forever.

But at least for websites there's an opt-out, even if only for the big AI companies. Open source code never even got that option ;).

It's 2026. I think we can expect more from Apple. It's not a small indie company after all.

It's not just people calling, although that's often the case, it's also people just watching social media videos on speaker

For the parent there's immaterial value knowing that is written by a human. From what I read in your comment, you see code more as a means to an end. I think I understand where the parent is coming from. Writing code myself, and accomplishing what I set out to build sometimes feels like a form of art, and knowing that I build it, gives me a sense of accomplishment. And gives me energy. Writing code solely as a means to an end, or letting it be generated by some model, doesn't give that same energy.

This thinking has nothing to do with not caring about being a good teammate or the business. I've no idea why you put that on the same pile.

That, and they seem to havr focussed more on localized results, which makes searches related to software development worse. This is also a problem with Google's search engine, but it's much harder to work around on Google.

As someone who fairly often travels by German ICE (not their regional trains), I've only ever experienced the timetable unreliability.

WiFi is fairly reliable and much much better than for example the Dutch railway (NS) WiFi which never seems to work, and I can't remember the last time it didn't work on an ICE. I've never had any seat reservation mix ups or (knowingly) missing train cars; the last two I've experienced only once in Europe, on a cross border train from Slovenia to Austria, with the seat booked via the ÖBB on a Slovenian train.

When these ICE's are on time and show up, I like them a lot. The seats are very comfortable, there's food service in the train, the seat reservations aren't thát high, and are optional (unlike say high speed rail in Italy, where there's a 15 euro required seat reservation on top of the ticket price), the staff is consistently friendly and so far (I think) they haven't joined the annoying recent trend to put digital ads on the same monitor as the in train timetable.

More so, I really really like the Deutsche Bahn app and use it for trains all over Europe.

Reading this article makes me ask myself if the route and type of train matters, but also that the article didn't really add anything new from what wasn't already known. With their ongoing frequent delays DB made them an easy target for anything under the sun, but comparatively to other trains in Europe, at least for DB ICE's, delays aside, I feel they're doing quite alright.

I tried some of the inputs and found that they worked well for initial input, but editing inputs didn't (e.g. the masked date input cursor just jumps over previous decimals, when typing a new number)

I made a reproduction video and tried to report it to the Pikaday issue tracker after which I found out it's deprecated.

Going back, and comparing the readme with the page, does show that the post uses native inputs. ... I feel that could have been more explicit; in this post I expected Pikaday to have the option to use native pickers with some component styling.

For example, the title "Impro: Improvisation and the Theatre" by Keith Johnstone, linked by another article posted to HN today gives back the following suggestions:

- Truth in Comedy: The Manual of Improvisation by Charna Halpern - Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson - 1984 by George Orwell - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1) by J.K. Rowling - Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari - The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho - The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell - Dune (Dune, #1) by Frank Herbert

It's a bit unfortunate that all suggestions are fairly popular titles, which are fairly easy to find, while the unpopular or niche may be just as well written but a lot harder to find.

Within niche topics or books, it is also usually harder to provide multiple similar enough titles up front.

It should be noted that the article isn't complete: while the travel planner and ticket machines were the first to fail, trains were cancelled soon after; it took a few hours before everything restarted.

Based on what the conductors said, I would speculate that the train drivers digital schedule was not operative, so they didn't know where to go next.

Worse, typescript may even run out of it's allocated memory sometimes.
