I don't know if it would complicate the UI too much, yet having a toggle for them would be amazing. There are solid arguments each for having them and not, for example they're perfect for trail systems, yet horrible when it comes to sidewalks which turn each road into a triple line.

Glad to see the graphics support improvements!

A bit off topic, yet does anyone have experience running Adobe CC products (Illustrator, Photoshop mainly) with Wine? The following page has stats for older versions, yet if anyone's tried CC2020 I'd love to hear about it.

Changing the title to the Wikipedia page's title ("Office of Censorship") would be good and probably increase reading on this interesting subject.

You may be interested in TerraFirmaCraft (https://terrafirmacraft.com/f/info), then. It's a Minecraft mod that tries to increase the realism of the game, I don't know if there are avalanches or tree rolling mechanisms, yet the mining system is greatly changed to include cave ins and other structural changes.

"TFC has thrown out Vanilla generation and started on a fresh slate. Sea-level has been raised to twice the height to accommodate 3 separate, varying layers of stone underneath, each spawning their own ores and minerals depending on which of the 23 new stone types it is comprised of.

Caves and underground ravines can be massive, with stalagmites and stalactites scattered throughout. Cave-ins are also an added risk; mining ceiling blocks that aren’t properly supported may result in metric tons of cobblestone falling down on your head.

On the surface, there are 16 different types of trees, large boulders, and smaller surface rocks scattered about. Grass, saplings and flowers slowly grow back depending on the temperature, while foliage changes colors to match the season. TFC also adds new crops and fruit trees as alternative food sources.

Inhabiting the surface are the same standard Minecraft mobs, but with a TFC twist. Animals have distinguishing features depending on their gender and breeding is changed so that females are pregnant for a period of time before giving birth to a believable amount of offspring. Drops have been changed so that all animals (including squids!) drop some form of meat, and mammals drop raw-hide or sheepskin that needs further processing to obtain wool and leather."

I wonder how this will impact fingerprinting of users from a privacy and security perspective. It would be useful as a means of identity verification based off of physical properties of the user beyond just their fingerprint or iris. Yet it would also be a massive privacy concern, particularly since it advertises 360° sensing.

I helped run a TEDx event (I did event branding and ad designs) where Leslie Dewan gave a talk about this! Unfortunately it looks like the video from her talk at our event isn't up yet, but I will ask the team if they could have it posted.

Odd, it's working for me:

Firefox 66.0.5 (64-bit)

on Windows 10

Really useful project, I think.

Currently working through these to learn Common Lisp after being introduced to the language as part of a college CS class, can definitely recommend them along with Practical Common Lisp [0] and Let Over Lambda [1].

Each proposed "free alternative" looks like it comes from the site owner, FramaSoft (example: Google Forms -> FramaForms, Google Maps -> Framacarte).

While I appreciate the efforts to de-centralize the internet, this is more an ad for the company than anything.

Well that can't be good. I'm sorry to see your work claimed by someone else. @Dang, is there anything that can be done about this?

Here's the link, it's basically their collection page filtered by the ones they released, each artwork page has links to download the image. https://www.artic.edu/collection?is_public_domain=1

I noticed there that the top comment is "developer here, ..." by user studiopuckey, do you work with them?

This is a site unaffiliated with the video creator (Nerdwriter1) that adds no meaningful content on top of that which is included in the video. Would it be possible to link directly to the video instead? https://youtube.com/watch?v=4PcpGxihPac

Also in the academic world where there is a quarter year system used (3 trimesters and summer break).

The parallels with the Destroy All Software talk "The Birth and Death of Javascript" [0] are crazy. Seeing the section where they address the possibility of Node modules and system access from WASM is like seeing a flying car advertisement in real life.

Rockbox's latest release was in May 2017 with a ton of changes and features added and the last change in their git repo was from today (Oct 15) with additional commits over the past few weeks, so not totally dead. However since music players as a whole are practically out, I don't know how much good that'll do you.

If you don't mind me asking, I'd be curious about your setup, I'm considering installing it on an old Sandisk e200 I have around.

I've been using Firefox on mobile and have no issues with it. I'd try it out again now, with quantum under the hood it's purring along smoothly for me.

Also (to anyone who doesn't know) you can install Firefox addons on Firefox mobile, so uBlock Origin works (can personally confirm it) to block ads.

With js allowed there's a page which displays that looks browser window sized, yet if you scroll down slightly there's "";}}?>" at the bottom of the page. I was expecting more content below, so was confused a little. Also I mistook your logo on the left red column as the menu icon, and took a little time to find the actual burger menu at top right(ish). I love the font, colors, and floaty dots to far right though!

Pardon my language yet that is so fucking cool. Do you know how the app interfaced with the microscope and optical tweezers? I just love the idea of a simple api that controls this crazy complicated lab equipment.

More details from the Twitter thread: it's iOS 7 and up, and it also works on watchOS 5. In some apps like chrome or opera it isn't a full crash, just a "springboard crash".

Not to be confused with a zip tie gun, a device indispensable to anyone doing major cable routing work. It tightens the zip tie the perfect amount and then cuts off the excess tail.

It would be great to have an art gallery, digital or physical, devoted to ai produced media. They could run exhibits highlighting different strategies, or have awards for creative or accurate results.

I wish I had, I just finished up a month working in the area (Osseja) this summer, always wondering what that big shiny thing was on the hill across the valley. Turns out I was 18km away from this really cool structure, what a small world feeling figuring out what it was here.

I also am on a non-subsidised plan and have messed around with cheap phones in the past, with similar experiences. However one thing I've found that eases a good phone's price tag is buying used, through a site like Swappa or Glyde (what I have experience with). Having a hundred plus dollar discount on something that's lightly used is quite helpful, especially considering that if I were to buy new I'd just void the warrantee with rooting anyways.
