Perfect, thanks for pointing that out - I was just starting to think it inverted votes, since all major parties except AFD were in favor, which contradicted what the text implied to me at first glance.
Thank you for sharing, that is a neat side project and was actually just looking for something like this. Can you share how your summarisation process works and if you use any specific tools or approaches to generate them?
I am using it for two years as daily driver on two (Lenovo) laptops, and I'm loving it so far! Most things worked out of the box and the UI is a nice balance of being adaptable if you want it, but also having sensible defaults.
I keep having to bother with Windows for the sake of using a "real" Excel installation for some of my work, but Im really in love with the simplicity of just using Popos, whereas there are a thousand little spyware-annoyances whenever I boot up Windows again.
I think this can actually be a very good idea - this is a thing often discussed in rock climbing, where for most people, no matter how hard and long you train, there will simply always be someone (most likely a 13yr old child) that is just incomprehensibly better than you. So I am glad that I find profound joy in my climbing and trying the hardest I can, while still knowing that globally I will probably always be mediocre at best.
do you have any good resources on that? Since I am interested in those topics I read a book on interieur design a few years ago, but it really wasnt that good, and I am still looking for more practical guides.
i dont have specific resources no - amazon is your friend though. check out some good starred books and go for it, or search "interior design books reddit" on google. The easiest way is to just check out some print titles like HOUSES, or any interior architecture blogs or what not....get an idea of what is put in a room...and quite literally imitate.
think about colour co-ordination - you may want to consult the free adobe kuler online app...or grab a colour theory book.
Next - think about materials: plastics, metals, stone, wood, ceramic, glass, terracotta, plant material. These should all/will all be in your living space. The mark of some SERIOUSLY impressive interior design - at least in minimal design styles is the "bringing of the outdoors indoors".
Next is the "style" - generally you're going for a design style, minimal, japanese, maximalist, art deco, etc etc (look these up) but then layering modern things within the chosen style, and antiques. This is the part which takes practise/skill.
Next - your character: what do you like to read, listen to, admire - litter that within your space. If you like to eat/drink - fill your kitchen with coffee making tools...like a fine italian coffee machine, a baeletti, a gooseneck kettle. A carrafe for wine. Matching ceramic tea, sugar and coffee containers. A fine knife set.
A "hacky" and "not that good" - but still...better than 90% of people is just..going to ikea....picking out a rug, some plants, a few pieces of furniture, cushions, throws, some striking hifi, lighting (and outside of ikea - getting paintings, artwork, sculpture and antiques), large, medium and small plants, aquariums (tanks by fluval are particularly awesome)
If you can, hire a professional. There are online services for it, and you can pay by the room. It’s affordable. You tell them your goals/constraints, they reimagine the space, and you just buy the referenced products.
Interior designers are miracle workers. Like many things, the difference between “the DIYer tried hard” and “this was done professionally” is night/day. It’s an option, anyway!
I love this type of education - do you know where I can find more content like that? I really have trouble finding stuff like this just by Googling; rather, I seem to stumble over it from time to time.
Hey, I like the premise of the app, but I face one major problem when using it (on an IPad 2019): once I have selected a place from the map view (so that I can review it, get the route etc.), it is not possible to go back to the map view. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?
Hey, I am a big fan of HPMOR too, and can absolutely feel your pain of not being able to discuss the book with anyone. Do you have more books that went in a similar direction?
I started reading the Eternal Golden Braid after, which was really good but dense, and for some light fantasy The Name of the Wind was an overall impressive book.
HPMOR is my all time favorite book, I've read it multiple times and I am still in awe of it. From the same genre I liked stuff from Alexander Wales, mainly The Metropolitan Man [1], The Dark Wizard of Donkerk [2] and, to a lesser extent, Worth the Candle which was just finished.
While not really intended as rational fiction, Threadbare was a nice read too if you enjoy litRPG.
