My kids played Minecraft, and one installed Lua to automate parts. Occasionally he would show me what he was working on and I could offer suggestions. We also set up a Linux computer as a Minecraft server and I was available to help with qu

You can use <shift>v then move to your start line and type y or d. This way you see the text marked before yanking or deleting. <control>v is similar. And gv will reselect the marked area.

mapbox maps seemed to be down for a few minutes about an hour ago. I wonder if it is related.

Yes, just paying for the between spots is exactly what I thought later in the day. Then check every month which areas cause costs and add those to the in-house polygons.

For reducing the number of points I've often used mapshaper.org. For deciding if a user is in Texas you could create a simple polygon completely inside Texas and one in Oklahoma. 99% would fall in the simple polygon and the rest go to

In 2001 in the small town of Hartsville SC, one of the youngest code breakers gave his last two public talks. He had been hired by Turing because he was one of the few studying both math and German at the start of the war. Besides being ver

To not load openstreetmap's servers, you could pull the tiles to your server and host them. Then only grab a tile from OSM when you are missing one. This would also let you set the grayscale on the tiles using imagemagick convert. Neat

I read it last year after it was mentioned here. Thought it was nice that pg had a cameo at the end of the book.

The site mentions owl poop, but it is really owl pellets which are coughed up fur and bones of the owl's food.

I got a prescription for monitor distance, about 30in or 70cm, and ordered the glasses from Zenni. It makes my computer time much better.

I agree that I mostly want to see which rivers the drop flows to but really enjoyed the flight down the Savannah river and seeing how winding it is. Spent a week canoeing it a long time ago.

One big advantage of low inventories is you do not have to fix or trash lots of parts if they were made out of spec. In the case of chips the odds are they are all good. It is just the cost of ownership but not the cost of refitting.

There were several in Stuttgart. One at a Uni building, which I've heard is now defunct. Two are in the Stuttgart Rathaus. They may still be in service. I was showing my son that the floor will fold up so it won't cut your foot of

The maps are coming from mapbox. I set up a map style without labels. For the cell image, I cut the image into map tile layers by scripting imagemagick. These tiles are served from my server. For the overlaid areas I use geojson data, which

We need a program that logs sessions and tells us where we could have saved keystrokes. I think something like the script command to record my session along with a list of rules to look for, so when I backspace 8 times to delete a word it s

Stuttgart's Rathaus has two. Uni Stuttgart had one that I know of, but last I heard it had been stopped. I always make a point to go to the Rathaus and ride them when I visit. The floors fold up where the lift's floor meets the b

The geography game shown here a few weeks ago reminded me of wanting to make this. It presents the countries you miss more often until all are correct, then it changes continents. I think I got the stress level pretty good.

Actually they have two in the Rathaus, a modern one in the front and an older one towards the back. One of the university buildings has one too.
