Well, at least one selection pressure for blue exists - modestly better vision in low light levels.

Or just unicode. Standard digraphs ftw (xcompose, wincompose...). It's even typed in the same way (_4 ^+ etc) - and maybe there's tex tools that output unicode these days where possible?

H₂O, NH₄⁺, NO, HCO₃⁻, HPO₄²⁻


Yes, that's pretty good ... but - the charges on [NH4]+, [HCO3]-, and [HPO4]2- should be above the subscripts on their last atoms. Minor point really.

true, true... I wonder if that's even possible to do in unicode. maybe some combining char thing. I certainly wouldn't be able to type a digraph of it from memory if it is. But, I feel it's still more readable this way

Or Hacker News could finally add support for LaTeX and markdown...

I have to think that some areas are more impacted than others. Say, shallow china sea area in asia with lot of small fisherman using drag nets and anchors and ignoring cable locations..

It'd be good to know what the frequency is in the baltic area and if this is abnormal. Seems the locals think it is.


Yeah, that's one of many things I love about chafa. The charsets are very flexible allowing me to get something decentish working even in the limited default fonts and no fallbacks in putty on windows. Or blacklist stuff that looked bad in my preferred linux font.

Another nice thing about it is the author made an ffmpeg patch (playable using -c:v rawvideo -pix_fmt rgba -f chafa) that was pretty darn handy for quickly triaging videos on a remote server without having to relay them to a more usable terminal.

And it has sixel support too if you happen to be in a terminal that supports that.

And since he's delegating to imagemagick, it has loaded every image format I've thrown at it, including RAW.


imagemagick does not support RAW video formats.

I think you misunderstood. The video is using ffmpeg. I was talking about RAW from a camera which my imagemagick delegates to ufraw. But running ldd on my copy of chafa I see it now links to a ton of graphic libs directly.

I think people went gaga over it due to the sample generations on the original repository (and the simplicity of implementation for arbitrary bitmaps), not so much the name. https://github.com/mxgmn/WaveFunctionCollapse

As for global repetition, the original repo did have this to say, that selecting tiles is important. "Note that the unrestrained knot tileset (with all 5 tiles being allowed) is not interesting for WFC, because you can't run into a situation where you can't place a tile. We call tilesets with this property "easy". Without special heuristics easy tilesets don't produce interesting global arrangements, because correlations of tiles in easy tilesets quickly fall off with a distance. "


Probably not the kind of car you are looking for, but my friend's 2015 honda odyssey (which he just traded in) had no smarts. No cellular, no GPS, console used knobs instead of a touchscreen... Whatever Deadpool's opinion of it was, it did make a great van for cargo and humans with good fuel economy for that class...

But, sooner or later it'll be a problem. What would be interesting to me is, is it possible to deactivate cellular on a modern car without losing key functionality, and, if it is ever reactivated (say, to pull updates) would it promptly push years of data upstream.


Ironically, we're replacing a 2011 Honda Odyssey!

Ok. Lowering a huge tower to the ground pretty silly. How about designing the array at the top as a platform that could be lowered. Too much extra weight/cost?


Some very large towers do indeed have platforms at the top. And some even have elevators.

But the vast majority do not. Very expensive to build.


Probably because firefox has alt+(left|right)arrow as global navigation bindings, and is capturing them before the captcha can get them. requesting a fullscreen gaming mode avoids more key binding issues, but probably ruins the "captcha" feel.


Definitely not necessary for internet service alone. You also don't need their modem. Just buy your own. Cheaper in the long run and a bit more control over the device. Never had a tech push me into installing anything either.

But, I guess if you're paying for one for one of their all-in-one packages where the service is managing voip/streaming/tv/internet I guess I can see their equipment and management tool might be necessary. Wouldn't know, have avoided all that. Try to keep them just as an ISP.


Well, they do have a github.. https://github.com/kuflex

Looks like it was written in C++
