I’ve had a lot of success with world of books[1] for out of print stuff recently. Afaik still not owned by Amazon.

Cob is a perfectly viable construction method. Why should it signify a lack of sophistication or culture. Did England lack culture and sophistication because we did ( and still do) build houses from mud and straw?

Aspirational.

9am meeting - would you a) fly the day before and stay in a hotel? or b) travel be train overnight?

I'd take the train.

yeah, we're all guilty of not supporting side projects. I'm interested because I'd like use the app - if it is going for a rebrand then I'd like to know and grab a copy.

As for splash - maybe you'd like to suggest a more appropriate term? It was a popular post for a few days.

Ask HN: What Happened to Zas Editor?

jnye131 — Thu, 19 May 2022 05:02:03 +0000

Zas editor made a splash here on HN a few weeks ago. The binary hasn’t been available for a week or so, the domain, zeditor.com is up for sale, and the GitHub issues repo doesn’t have any owner activity.

Was it all too much? Is it just they used the now unsavoury Z in their product name?

Dartmoor national park has its own bylaws regarding camping. It’s fine for up to 48hours. I’m guessing other bylaws for private property- and of course the MOD land.

I’d be more surprised to find a bank with a public API.

Not really suprising that there wasn't a checklist, a DP3(GPS, backup and failsafe)ship shouldn't ever suffer DP run off. Then it did. So now I suspect there are actually checklists.

Yes, many recreational sailors will listen to this. Although GRIBs or other data is available this is a forecast from forecasters rather then model data. The same information is broadcast on VHF working channels at a similar time. It's also broadcast on longwave radio so available further out to sea then FM.

Surely the point of an experiment is to run it. Observe the results. Then change things in the next run.

You need a better differentiation between skills - this is very web orientated at the moment. If I'm a native mobile developer is that full stack? Backend?

There also needs to be a bigger range of languages. Alternative contact details would be nice, or, links to other profiles and the option not to show the email address.

Definitely something I'd be interested in also, but sadly seems to be struggling with the load.
