Besides Tex there is also git. Written only as a SCM for the linux kernel it went on to be used basically anywhere.

Yes, that's terrible. The finished text was not corrected in that time, was it?

Actually the trapped without internet thing makes me think. Why not do some sort of dead-man-switch? I.e. when you haven't committed (or been online) in X months the project is transferred to your successor.

Not easy to set up. But perhaps easy to maintain

Your edit to google maps is a competitive advantage. Your edit to OSM is a public utility.

No and that is IMO the point of using OSM in the first place. The data is public and free for everyone and if you contribute there's the possibility of other services adopting your change. I know that mapbox integrates osm data, Google and Apple might too.

Cool. I suspect this model will mostly work, but only if the price of the app is low enough to not justify a lot of inconvenience by compiling it yourself or maybe getting it from f-droid. I like this model a lot, apps like OsmAnd do the same.

apparently co2's density is only slightly higher than the other gases, so they all mix. Otherwise all of the atmosphere's co2 would be at ground level too, wouldn't it?

Don't swift and rust share a few of these things that make it "feel right"? With rust the whole ecosystem thing seems to be a lot better. Also rust has C(++) interop (so you have every library you could wish for), does swift not have that?

Out of curiosity: Is the first OCR example really the best you can find? Is there no open source solution that outputs good results for handwritten notes?

I think the point is that him sending out notebooks (he only has 100 of) doesn't scale.

it has it, says so right on the page

Agree. I particularly hate advertisements in public spaces. I often consciously try to avert my eyes, it's like pollution to me, just visual/mental.
