There's important nuance here. It's under US command within Korea in the event of a north Korean invasion to ensure a unified command structure. Last I heard when I lived there (10+ years ago), they were actively transitioning to Korean command in the event of war with North Korea, although I'm not sure if that was ever completed.

They're not a vassal military or state.

By choice. I currently work at Stripe (opinions my own, I'm just some guy) and was here when it released. It's a genuinely useful tool, which explains the widespread adoption.

How do people find tangled who have tried it? I've been eyeing it. How does it compare to GitHub?

There's always deno

Why not? It's easy to set up and manage and it just points at an internal IP address

University of Toronto, it's in TFA and even the URL.

Nice, I'm hosting a LAN party with friends next month, I might try this out. Thanks for sharing!

Are there any plans to open source it?

Maybe it's a Canada thing, but it works seamlessly with Libby for me.

Favourite article I've read in a while, what a delight. I wonder what kind of performance you could get if someone hand wrote a dedicated, modern C compiler for it.

Something like 70% of the Korean peninsula is mountainous, and a lot of the space between mountains is taken up by cities and farms. This puts flat land at a bit of a premium

My first BA was in history before I went into tech stuff.

It's honestly a hard question and depends on you. I think there's two core challenges: 1. What would be interesting to you and motivate you 2. Finding quality sources

The first one is easy but the second one is hard if you don't already know a fair amount of history, and there's tons of junk out there.

I'm admittedly pretty snobby on my sources but some recommendations (pick whatever works for you): - The Revolutions podcast is excellent. Made by the same guy as History of Rome - Unironically, the AskHistorians subreddit is a gem. It's hard to find questions with answers. Just search for their Sunday day of reflection posts. It's a compilation of interesting answers - If you're able to get into textbooks (not everyone is), do a search for an intro level textbook that's a short survey of an area/time. For example you find smallish intros to most regions and times from Cambridge

What are you interested in and how do you think you'd enjoy learning?

Windy allows you to select your model. For that reason it's my go to for accuracy.

Different models have different strengths, though. Some are shorter range (72h) or longer range (1-3 weeks). Some are higher resolution for where you live (the size of an area which it assigns a forecast to, so your forecast is more local).

Some governments will have their own weather model for your country that is the most accurate for where you live. What I did for a long time was use Windy and use HDRPS (a Canadian short range model with a higher resolution in Canada so I have more accurate forecasts). Now I just use the government of Canada weather app.

I genuinely wonder what the weather Channel, iPhone/Android official weather apps, etc. use under the hood for global models. My gut says ECMWF (a European model with global coverage) mixed with a little magic.

Kobo devices do a full page refresh periodically, which is probably what you're seeing. iirc it will do it on chapter transitions to make it less jarring.

Basically, it's intentional and relatively rare (unless you have really really short chapters).

I wonder how many of the pipes are made of wood. I forget the source, but I heard a decent number of pipes in Montreal are very old and made of wood (which is better than the proliferation of lead pipes that are still being removed)

In fairness it's AI "upscaled". What kind of car that is isn't actually present in the original image's data, it's a best guess from the AI.

It feels simplistic, but if the primary problem is fissures and pockets forming, I'd assume they would be full of air. If you know the volume of the wheel and the density per pound, you could weigh it on a very precise scale

For Kobo format ebooks, you can use calibre. There's an extension that automatically converts the files for you when you send to device.

On Kobo you also have access to your library and pocket integration.

Honestly Kobo feels like the more feature complete device

Anyone know how it does in wintery places? I'm seeing that it's in Michigan now

At the very top of the article is a collage of them

I've found a lot of NHL content on Bluesky, to find people I went to a subreddit and searched for Bluesky to get recs on who to follow

Their product release posts and their engineering posts are usually really well written. Transit App is a gem

That's why I love my Kobo Libra 2. Physical buttons, sweet spot for size, easy to sideload or I can buy on Kobo on device/mobile/desktop or sync pocket or get library books from overdrive/Libby.

What did you find hard about sideloading on the Kobo? I've had a Clara and now a Libra, sideloading books is as easy as plugging in a USB cable and clicking and dragging files onto it like it's a usb stick.

It's optional, but you can use Calibre with an extension to convert epub to kepub as well.

For me specific video files will freeze the app and render it unusable. It's really frustrating

It also works with Go, I think support for it is built into Goland too

They're actively working on allowing you to just use your phone, iirc targeted for like 2026 or something. Basically, its' a work in progress and they delivered the update to the Chrono app as a stop-gap.

iirc (it's been over a decade), the Oyster card is a plastic card with an NFC in it. Montreal's Opus card does the exact same thing (and is probably modelled off of it and similar implementations in other cities). This article is describing the disposable, single-use ones.

If you don't want to use disposable ones, the same kiosk that dispenses the temporary cards will allow you to buy a permanent one which you can load with fares as normal.

Also go.sum is roughly equivalent to your package-lock.json. go.mod would be the package.json equivalent

Kagi has an extension that just switches it for you in Firefox
