It's pretty shocking.
I was in Egypt about two weeks before the arab spring revolution and not too long after terrorists shot a bunch of tourists in the Luxor area. There were very few tourists because of the terrorist attack, and so in Luxor my wife and I had a driver and a egyptoligist tour guide that normally works with large tour groups. They drove us around (with a handgun under the driver's seat and a rifle in the trunk that I pretended not to see) to different sites for a few days and the guide gave excellent academic-like guiding.
Later we were in Cairo and it felt like I had their main museum completely to myself. There were only a few tourists and they were outnumbered by the docents/security. We saw the tutankhamen exhibit by ourselves.
What I'm confused about is that I read that during the spring revolution the tutankhamen exhibit was looted, and yet it still goes on tour. It was here in Switzerland a couple of years ago. Are they showing copies of the original exhibits? Or I suppose not everything was on exhibit at once and so a subset was looted? I never got a good explanation to this.

Really sad for a first world country in 2025.
Some of its features are intentionally not very discoverable, partially to keep the interface minimal, but mostly because I like to hide them as easter eggs.
I wrote a little more context for how this (and some related tools) came to be at https://dag.dev for the curious.
Happy to answer any questions, of course, but I imagine this is a pretty niche tool.
Sounds interesting, but it didn't survive the Hacker News amount of visitors.
So I'd be interested what he means too.
What is for sure better in the US: There is way more space.
