I'm a bit surprised this doesn't have more traction. It doesn't seem to have been designed with POIs in mind, which is unfortunately a limitation.

They could make available a URI using the geo: scheme, but the hacky ways of including a POI as part of a geo: URI (ie using a query string) feel generally unsatisfactory.

Very interesting! Seems like it needs a reasonably large number of events (votes?) for the statistics to be effective. How do you see that playing out in real systems?

I think about the alternate timeline where Aaron Swartz is still around more than any other.

"The War in the Dark" by Nick Setchfield scratched a similar itch to "Declare" for me. (There's a sequel too, but I've not read it).

In case anyone else is thinking about picking up the Broken Earth trilogy, I'll offer another opinion. The Fifth Season still stands out to me as one of the best sff novels I've read in many years and I recommend it wholeheartedly. I remember feeling sorry for authors who had novels published the same year, because The Fifth Season was so obviously going to sweep the awards (on merit).
Had a similar reaction to R F Kuang's Babel, but different outcome there, obviously.

https://www.brachiograph.art/ explores the low end of cheap experimentation with pen plotting. It's a really charming project.

This looks like the logical next step after building a brachiograph!

Awesome project!
Newer SG90 are described as a digital servo: http://www.towerpro.com.tw/product/sg90-7/
Should the older analog version (or perhaps a different part entirely?) be used for brachiograph? There's a note in the docs about analog servos being more suitable for this application.

This is a great resource. As someone who knows little about clustering, this was clear and very informative. It covers potential pitfalls much better than other similar documents I've seen, which is a useful approach.

Does varrao.vision make use of PyBossa?
