OpenLayers is probably what you're looking for. It supports multiple projections. It's a wonderful library, but a bit more ceremony is required than MapLibre/box and leaflet.

No, not the Beaverton, but yes, still satire.

It is funny isn't it? I believe it was the opposite direction mostly though, as you say, "railway... and light"; to solve their own problems of powering their infrastructure to move people, they got into power generation at a time when there weren't as many players doing what they needed to run their primary business. I'm not sure that power generation getting into trains would be as effective. Nor do I think an LLM/AI company getting into chat and discussions would be valuable. It feels wrong. But hey, "happy" to move on to yet another chat program in my life if it's better than what we got...

They didn't, no one asked google to do it. It was Paul Buchheit's 20% project. Google saw a good thing, solved by someone who knew what they were doing and where they wanted it to go, and fostered it. Hell, it is what built AdWords and ultimately made google the advertising behemoth it is today. I don't think this is the same thing...

I see what you are saying though, a business can expand beyond it's initial constraints, but I'm not sure that chasing prospects like what is described in the OP is really all that successful.

This is just crazy. Lets ask the power company to build some trains for us. They transport electricity, they _must_ know about transporting people. They can power the lines themselves!

If this was so easy, teams wouldn't suck, matrix would be everywhere, and discord would be replaced already by the furries (as much as stoat is trying).

Oh. Wow. I had no idea Jimmy Wales was like that. Enlightening.

Maybe this is the right angle to crush it... two wrongs make a right? Hmm.

If Canada wasn't having it's own immigration and post-secondary issues, this would be great. But no, we already shot ourselves in the foot with that...

In this case, I believe the capitalization is a hold-over from raylib's c library, Odin doesn't appear to put any preference?

In Go it has a specific meaning: starting an identifier with a capital causes it to be exported for use in other packages. Identifiers with a starting lowercase char are package private.

Apologies if this is explaining what you already know...

Similarly moved from Arc to Zen; hopefully this will allow for multiple windows/views into the same set of tabs? or at least a future possibility.

This. Exactly. Alberta and Saskatchewan did not exist as independent colonies. Treaties were with the federal government. This is a non-starter and will never happen as WEXIT separatists dream it could.

Canada's population grew by over 3 million since the last election. So yes, the parties will get more votes. That combined with the utter collapse of the NDP and Green party votes, meant more vote share goes to the Liberals and Conservatives.

The left wing has been rotting out from under the NDP's guidance for years. They are no longer a grass roots party and are primarily controlled through their central offices (both federally and provincially). Provincially the NDPs have been moving towards the center to govern for years as well, just look at the Alberta and BC NDPs and their policies/actions.

Right? I'd love to see an article like this about Indian food.

Absolutely, and this is the story. Not what they seem to have wrote about...

Yes. So confirmation from Jeff Raymakers, a software engineer at MotherDuck, the UI is not open source.

Yeah, this is really concerning. The handwaving around "keeping the ui up to date" by hosting it on ui.duckdb.org instead of embedding it doesn't taste great to me.

At least it's hosted on duckdb.org and not mother duck, but I really would expect to see that source somewhere. Disappointing unless I've missed it.

Yes, he went to Harvard; the laptop was plugged in at MIT using his Harvard Fellow credentials to access JSTOR.

I... am not sure if this is a joke or not. Grindr is not a community or posting tool. It's a hookup app.

So, that's a "you didn't". Honestly, it looks like you've botched this. Doesn't seem like very good PR for Tempest.

Wait... a uBlock Origin browser, not affiliated with uBlock origin? Using their branding?^1 "Privacy Focused" to support open source software without being open source?

This is awfully confusing and I reject it.

^1: or maybe just slightly modified? That "O" in the uBlock Origin logo might be turned into a "b" but it's sure hard to tell.

I’ve had such a hard time with Claude and cadquery/build123d; did you do anything specific to get better results? I tried turning the examples into a markdown document to feed into sonnet as part of the prompt, and that helped a bit, but still couldn’t get it to build basic parts reliably.

"Healthcare in Canada is essentially not available" is not the truth. It's not great. It's the worst it's ever been while I've been alive. My uncle recently passed and it's likely caused by an over worked medical system combined with delusional anti-government conspiracies. But it is not "essentially not available", there are many folks currently working their way successfully through our medical system, and coming out with improving outcomes.

Disability payments _are_ insultingly low, but we instead want to give a GST holiday and attempt to buy votes for our current government's inevitable loss.

I'll be no longer using or recommending Perplexity. This behaviour is unacceptable.

It's one thing to make it an eventual goal to replace workers with AI, it's another to step in and say "hey, our AI can be your labour" when there is a labour dispute in progress. Saying nothing was the correct response, or even "if AI was your labour, this wouldn't happen". But to offer to replace a striking workforce is super shitty.

This was very much my first thought as well, that the costs of these buildings are far higher than schools of the past. It's good to want nice things, but there is a tradeoff.

There is a new highschool being built in my community to replace an aging one. The time and cost overruns of the custom designed building, featuring a towering atrium/lobby and ascetically pleasing frontage, has pushed back the move-in date to midsemester/next year.

Part of me loves that these schools look so much nicer and contain an environment better than the ones I went to growing up---another part of me knows that we have _many_ schools that need replacing of the same age as this new one's predecessor, and hardly a budget capable of doing so if they all are to be completed similarly.

Our drive and desire for "nicer" things (or at least things that dress up well), when we can barely fund the necessities, seems to be a hard dichotomy to deal with. How do we accomplish both?

What's so annoying is that this isn't even true. There is a lot of local news and interesting happenings all across our country, yet no one here to cover it. It's cheaper to repackage US news as interesting to canadians (how does this US thing affect canada, with an opinion) or just for voyeurism. Watching televised news, I end up knowing more about what's happening as a "human interest" story in some small US town than what happened across our country.

Canadian media has been gutted, and nothing our government is doing actually works---or just fiddles with the knobs ever so slightly so that it appears as we're doing something, when the results are indistinguishable from the null.

Zed will hook into ollama as well; so you can run your own locally; just not as part of the same process (yet?).

Great for folks who aren’t “interested” in the topics. If you have drive to study it yourself, you likely don’t need these.

They use some great pedagogy for folks who might have difficulty in keeping their attention on the topic. Or at least the ones I have read.

This makes a little more sense than the article's demo, but I still only perceive two flashes, even with the audio. Maybe it's also environmental...

Neat little rabbit hole, thanks. It lead to Netflix's "Magenta Green Screen: Spectrally Multiplexed Alpha Matting with Deep Colorization" by Dmitriy Smirnov, Chloe LeGendre, Xueming Yu, Paul Debevec: https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.13702

Not with a non-visible spectrum, but along the same lines. I can't seem to directly find anything with NIR though;

What does this bring that the Quasar framework doesn’t already? This sure looks like an ad for a barely preconfigured quasar template—but it’s impossible to tell.
