>Thanks for your email. In our online FAQ for the DEGURBA methodology (https://population.un.org/wup/faqs), you'll see:
Does DEGURBA combine too many cities into a single conurbation?
In countries where population data were only available at relatively coarse resolution and densities are generally high, these estimates may include conurbation that are too large. For example, the DEGURBA-defined city that includes Hajipur in India appears to aggregate multiple distinct cities and towns. Using finer grained population data or even better a population grid based on a geo-coded census may lead to this conurbation shrinking and turning into a multitude of individual cities and towns.
The following online portal provides you more details: https://human-settlement.emergency.copernicus.eu/raster.php - Based on this methodology, Hajipur corresponds to the whole red urban centre combining multiple contiguous urban units. If you zoom on the interactive map you'll see the name of smaller urban places included. For the most recent periods, the initial units of analysis for the population grid were the 5,967 Sub-districts/Tehsils/Cercles of the 2011 census of India projected using the 2001-2011 censuses. Population distribution is downscaled using estimates of building volume from the GHSL, which you can see here: https://human-settlement.emergency.copernicus.eu/visualisati...
You can see that Patna is the larger/closest urban area, but it is not physically connected to the rest of the urban area due to the river in between. SO Patna appears as distinct urban area.
I have sent an email to the contacts listed in the press release regarding this. Let's see what they say.
I believe you are correct. They have made a mistake in the report. Hajipur is a small town near Patna, Bihar which is much bigger than it is.
They will have to support auth if they are adding support for connecting with remote host. It's not difficult but it's not as trivial as you suggested.
depends on your definition of touch.
(57-39)/39 ~= 46
I think they meant 50% increase from the 39% .
I used to use vimac (
https://github.com/nchudleigh/vimac) when I had macbook. I was pretty happy with it. I liked its interface. Its interface was inspired by Vimium extension on browser.
I think they meant the Chromium based browsers but they should have specified it for clarity.
AFAICR, You don't have to reboot the machine. You can press `Shift+F10` again and run `ipconfig \release`. I could be wrong.
There are also some email ids (e.g. [email protected] ) in the sign up fields which allows you to create local accounts.
Not that these workarounds excuse all this user hostile behavior.
There are browser extensions which make it easier to debug grapgql. A new pane is added to the browser debug panel. Last I used them more than two years ago, it was still not as good as the built-in network tab for rest queries. Still better than the default for the graphql queries.
An interesting use-case could be localized haptic feedback on the screen. You could rotate a knob or push a button on the screen and get a localized sound and haptic feedback from the item on the screen.
You may even add haptic texture on the screen. close your eyes and scan the screen with your finger. It would feel like a series of mechanical switches and knobs. It would be useful for people who don't like using only the screen in their car because of lack of haptic feedback.
Configurability needs branching, and branching is inherently digital. Maybe that's why digital is more configurable than analog.
If you want even faster search across different formats, you can try ripgrep-all (
https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all ). It can search across epub, docx, pdf, zip, mp4 etc. If you are handy with the tool, you can write custom adaptor to search across images using OCR with tesseract.
A very happy user of this. I mainly use it's vimium like feature. And, the author is very responsive on github.
I have used HTMX with Flask and Jinja. It makes the process much simpler to do the frontend development as a backend developer. But I can see its limitations. It's not suitable for anything bigger than a hobby project. Also, it doesn't help with keeping the frontend and the api totally separate. You have to return the html object from API which has its own set of problems.
Usually there are a lot of comments about how text is the best interface and it's making a comeback in the LLMs but in this case picture is the better medium since parsing the webpage js would prove too difficult. I think a screenshot of a webpage has a smaller footprint than the raw payloads (js, assets, etc.).
I think this can be extended to desktop as well. There are programs that act like vimium for your desktop (win-vind, etc.). I don't have the openai API key to try it but I wish someone gave it a try (in obviously an isolated environment).
Have you tried lnav? It has somewhat steeper learning curve but it'd fit the bill. One small binary and some log parsing config, and you are good to go.
I think Terraform provides multi cloud provisioning. Not an expert on this but I think it's good enough for common services across different clouds.
Have you tried any third party app and compared the experiences? If you have not, you will not understand how crappy it is compared to third party apps.
I don't see any Cosine being mentioned in the proof. I don't see any circular logic here.
I am sure the US government doesn't initiate the request to take down Avatar.
I always read `reflog` as `re-flog` not `ref-log`. And, I was confused about the connection between flogging and the finding all git commits. It was much later that I made the connection.
Surfingkeys is more customizable and has more features. You can use Surfingkeys API with javascript to add more customizations. It's good for adding custom keybindings to certain websites. Look at this config repo to see what's possible with Surfingkeys:
https://github.com/b0o/surfingkeys-conf
It also supports neovim editing in browser, markdown previewer, pdf previewer with key bindings, etc.
Vimium is more robust as they have resisted the temptation to open their apis and allow unlimited customization. It's good for you if you don't have the need to add more customization or if you don't know programming.
Surfingkeys require you to know javascript a bit add advanced customization. And, it requires some troubleshooting when your config goes wrong. It's like Vimium for power users.
Can the http link not be directed to other protocols like FTP, or WIFI:T:WPA;S:{ssid};P:{password};; in this case? I guess this might have some security implication. And, some clients can block such redirection.
I tried with HTML href on my mac. It didn't work. Maybe it'd work on phones.
Regarding Git being 94%, if you see the table just below about interacting with the version control system, you'd see 83.57% users using command-line. 28.44% are using version control hosting service web GUI. 83.57% is still a big number of people who are using git with fewer abstractions on top.
The people in this thread, who are very unimpressed by the tiktok algorithm, should try to disable their privacy guard and let tiktok gather the data before judging it. I suspect that a lot of people have all the privacy features enabled on their devices. And, that's why they can't relate to the general population's addiction of tiktok.
Not OP, but I think rendering scenarios where light doesn't follow straight lines would be problematic for current rendering engines. Also, some hypothetical portal or other dimension scenarios.
