Can anyone explain how to see the images?

All I can see is text, something like: ``` version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1 oid sha256:c113251a7c1a67eff152777018926de038c3a78723ec16b611a45a030b8b4d8b size 294284 ``` https://github.com/anisotropi4/kingfisher/blob/main/image/A/...


I'm pretty sure Github disabled image downloads for that repo in the last few minutes.


Even when you download the repo the images don't render


As agoose77 said on another comment, Github probably disabled the whole LFS (Large File Storage) for that repo


Is the LFS enabled for the forked repositories?

I can't log in and I don't have a way to view the list of forks.


It wasn't when I tried it earlier.


I suspect that their LFS bandwidth has been exhausted, so now one only sees the LFS metadata.


Indeed, `git lfs fetch` is giving:

`This repository is over its data quota. Account responsible for LFS bandwidth should purchase more data packs to restore access.`

TIL that there is the ability to upgrade LFS access on github.com


Buying bandwidth from github for LFS blobs seems the wrong approach to me, assuming this is some hobby project.

Is there an implementation to seed LFS blobs as BitTorrent?


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"


The left bank of the Seine is quite iconic!

Just wondering how you would know that they do or do not do that?



Does that include those of us lucky enough to sign up prior to them actually charging for g-suite and being grandfathered into. Free plan for up to 10 users?


My limit of 50 users laughs at your puny 10.

(I believe the original limit was 100, so someone who signed up in time for that can now come along and laugh at us.)


Yes.


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)


Kofola originated as a by-product of pharma industry.


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).


There's also the yearly Tweakers Express from Amsterdam (NL) to Cologne / Köln (DE) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkOFnvxkZLc


>Tweakers Express

That has a very, very, different connotation in American English.

It sounds like the name the scrap yard gives to the regular who always shows up towing doubles with a minivan.


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?


ISBNs and healthcare tend to follow similar patterns in the US, contrasted with the most of the rest of the 1st world.


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.


Internet access too.


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.


Russia is certainly out since they don't share even the same alphabet.


Yes, and out with Greece too!


Yeah, I guess alphabet is out too. It's abecedary in the West!


Russia is not part of, nor "recently" founded from, nor relatively heavily influenced by, Western Europe.

I don't know why there's a rush to identify as Western; usually it's used pejoratively.
