There are different type of leads, not only people managers. There are architects, chief-of-somethings, designers, people who give all their imagination, creativity and experience into leading teams and companies to achieve great things. Clearly that's empowering, and empowering is crucial: Preparing the ground and conditions for people to do their job as good as possible. But it's a lot more, and it's fun and you get feedback and reward.

Let's not get dragged down by this stories how pathetic the reality of leadership roles has to be, this all depends on the leadership structure and culture.

Yes, exactly. In Germany a house is to start with rather a negative value, only the ground counts. You pay for the ground minus the costs for demolishing the house, or bring it a a current standard, or up to your taste.

Of course you will be able to still an get a positive value for an (old) house if it's somehow an enthusiast's object, who wants exactly this: An old Italian small village house or a German architect's house from the 70ies.

I'm using Xournal++ regularly on a Thinkpad X390 with one of the better Wacom stylus, mostly for note-taking and sketching of diagrams. Functionality is totally great and smooth, though I'd wish the user interface be more minimal without loosing features.

I see this as an ill-informed decision, from a viewpoint of someone living in a big western city. Results are so error-prone, it's basically useless in 99% of the locations in the world. Even Google has so much wrong information gathered from out-of-date websites and public registers. Even in central Berlin.

In my region (Germany) Apple Maps are not very helpful, compared to Openstreetmap they are incomplete and/or years back. I absoluty can't see why they chose to use them.

Thank you Juraj for this work and the also very promising flat and even projects!

HyperCard was about empowering users, the opposite of what many tech companies want today, including Apple. It was a "predecessor" to the web (hypertext, HyperTalk scripting language), of Flash (animations, graphics), of user programmable databases (ok, Filemaker is older). It enabled users to smoothly dive into programming, as it not only offered a simple but extremly powerful concept of document-applictions called "stacks", drag-n-drop setup of your own graphical user interfaces, but behind all this a very powerful, extendable object oriented programming language with kind of "real" objects, as every item of your stack could have it's own method. Thankfully we have web technology today, else computer technology would miss its most democratic tool. But still HyperCard was the only way to simply have your own data on your own computer in your own application and not relying to a server, cloud or even paid service.

This is absolutely great news! Just the other week I was again researching every option, from Subgraph OS's fw-daemon to the Douane firewall.

I have my email address open on most websites I've designed and programmed for decades now, and I don't receive more spam at these address than on at those addresses which aren't public. Spammer harvest for years now using many channels: buying addresses, hacking databases, using viruses stealing complete address books from people.

Using images as anti-spam measure really gives you a lot more problems than benefits (except you'd use random single-usage addresses).

Don't obfuscate, but fix your spam filters or switch your email provider. What helps a lot is server-side moving of detected spam emails to your junk folder and looking through this folder from time to time.
