From my view, komoot got a lot better since it was bought by BS. I don't know how they did this while laying off a lot of devs, but compared to the years before, a ton of useful th…

My guess is that analyzing the recorded activities is what komoot did to get useful elevation data.

Yes, agree. Some services (e.g. komoot) apparently have good data, or can work around it. Others are struggling with lack of precision in the DEM data. As much as I like the tweaka…

I am surprised at the other comments here that state sketching is a skill worth preserving. That's something the author of the article clearly states, hist call to discussion is ab…

Another name: bio bikes

You don't have to use any plugins. You can put your obsidian vault anywhere you like, e.g. in a folder that is synched by nextcloud. I use a git repo for this, which works fine als…

The author of the paper is also the author of a really useful python package for processing OSM data: https://github.com/gboeing/osmnx

In addition to that, many public libraries offer a service where one can lend ebooks. And this is integrated in the tolino. This is based on some DRM system from Adobe, though. But…

Modern cartography is awesome, but the mechanical/optical devices that were used before the advent of the computer are just as cool. And hand-drawn maps like the swiss topo maps ar…

Living near a stretch of the Maginot line it amazes me to no end how much concrete is still around and will be for long time.

If you are interested in myog stuff, there's https://www.reddit.com/r/myog/ for you. Lots of inspiration and a place to ask questions (and have them answered).

To me, it looks like a reference to a Braun phonosuper sk 4. https://braunaudio.de/en/snowwhitecoffin-sk4-dieter-rams-han...

In my personal perception, Mercedes AMG (do these count as Mercedes?) drivers are the worst by far.

In my childhood I always wanted a model tugboat with a Voith Schneider Propeller, but never could afford one. They are still around, in modernized versions with brushless motors. S…

I use it for developing inside docker containers. We have a dockerized Apache Airflow setup for which I am adding plugins. Remote VSCode allows to work inside one of the containers…

Also consider a gravel bike. Currently, it's my favourite type of bike. You do not have to stick to paved roads, which are infested with unattentive/aggressive drivers. A gravel bi…

These rules apply to racing bikes, not to bikes that are used everyday for commuting or recreation. If recumbents were so much superior to the classic diamond frame, they would dom…

Slitghly OT: These are the books of my childhood! I really loved them. Especially these futuristic panels like in http://klausbuergle.de/buergle_verkehr1.htm .

Out of curiosity: what do you cook that you do not get at Aldi? Myself, I could get more than 90% of the ingredients of most recipes at Aldi. Some things I buy at an Asian or Turki…

I have a Braun MX32 my mother gave me. Older than me, and I am old. This thing is so loud you want to use hearing protection. But it can knead 1kg heavy dough for e.g. pizza. Or wh…

Both for the kid and for the parents. For example, with single childs, you have to arrange play dates. If you have more than one, chances are, they play together. Another thing: wi…

The dynamic totally changes with three kids. I have three kids, and when one of them is not at home (doesn't matter which one) the atmosphere changes completely, hard to describe h…

I can second that, this book is really worth reading.

> I guess it's related to personality types. This and it also depends on your experience. When I started running I also used a heart rate monitor and training plans guided by an ap…
