I assume it's just getting a lot of traffic from HN and github have some limits in place to stop it being abused for content hosting. I imagine it'll start working again once the traffic goes back to normal.
I take it this is the code to generate the images, mention was made of a data file, but it doesn't appear to be in the repo, from a brief check I didn't see any reference to a data file.
I am guessing the actual data file itself would be smaller than all of the images. HN readers should have a high chance of being able to run the code.
"Left side" and "right side" is unambiguous, because there is one given direction (forward). It is the same as "left bank" and "right bank" of a river (it is always looking downstream).
For example, Slavic languages usually just use some sort of "left side" and "right side".
it's unambiguous if you know you're talking about direction relative to the boat, but you don't know that you're talking about direction relative to the boat.
your left hand is still your left hand, even if it's on the starboard side of the boat. you always need some additional disambiguation to specify that you're talking about the boat. i've never sailed a boat with slavic people, but i'm guessing they use a phrase like "boat left" and "boat right", not just "left" or "right".
also, i've never heard anybody describe a riverbank as "left" or "right". riverbanks would be described by their cardinal direction, like the "east bank" or the "south bank"

Kvass is very uncommon in Slovakia or Czechia (it's only known as Ukrainian or Russian drink, one can buy it it shops with UA and RU products, which are oriented mainly on UA and RU expats)
There was even a hackathon on Prague (Czechia) - Kosice (Slovakia) train a few years back. It's quite easy (but not very common, for sure) and not so expensive to rent a car or a whole train in CZ (from the train companies). There are also some historical trains for rent (run by enthusiasts, usually).
I was looking once (about a year or two ago) on Czech (EU member state) government websites and about 90% of them were using something from Google, usually Analytics. But some of them required even Captcha (so no way to access it without being vetted by Google, an US company).
Being from Europe: Many more tourists from Asia, beginning of touristic boom from Africa. Many Europeans (and Americans) will be priced out from vacations they can enjoy now.
$125 for ISBN seems like a ripoff to me - the ISBN are given for free where I come from: the Czech Republic; and the system is administered by the National Library
That's part of the reason it's so outrageous - it's free in countries like the Czech Republic and Canada, but some old-school publishing company was granted the monopoly in the U.S., and as a result authors and publishers are getting gouged in the U.S.
The other thing that bothers me is the shameless, mercenary upsells that are designed to trick newbies. $25 for a barcode? Many book designers throw it in for free or you can get a free one on your own at bookow.com/resources.php
When I first got started in book publishing, it was even worse. Bowker was selling website widgets for some ridiculous subscription fee - $120 to start and $60 every year thereafter (https://in30minutes.com/bowkers-isbn-markup-new-authors/). I wonder how many poor souls are still getting charged for that?
The AMA to both certifies doctors and runs the medical schools. Obviously, they have a vested interest in controlling supply to protect their membership, thus artificial scarcity leads to high prices.
I'm from central-eastern Europe and I feel the same. I've spent a few years in Latin America and I'd call both the regions "new" or "satellite" or "not-core" West. Germany or the US may be the original core West, but LatAm and CEEurope are West, too.
Whether to include also Russia, that would be my question.
