a cool feature would be to toggle the graph scales to logarithms of any arbitrary base, in order to track the exponential growth rates based on what the current infection-constant-number is
As some commenters pointed out, the name "MatterMost" might be a crucial thing holding this from reaching the development mainstream as an alternative to slack/teams, which aren't very dev friendly
I will try to present to GeoMob sometime next year. I have stumbled across an interesting/powerful way to render planetary sized vector tile sets, leveraging Agafonkin's amazing geojson2vector of course.
I am not having much progress selling the idea that people like to look at a map and discover stuff. I like to devise "excursions", daft train trips that last weeks, that kind of thing. The layout of any region's transit infrastructure., from metropolis, country to entire continental level is at the very least highly intriguing.
You obviously have to do this with vector tiles, but even then you need to rapidly simplify the network if you want it to be interactive obviously, the lines have to be merged and unique else you wont be able to interact with them. It's timetable driven we only paint where we know there's a service, not everywhere we can see railway track and not by crudely styling out road classifications, It's not a journey planner. it's a route finder though. You get to see every route in any context just by looking at it. it's a map. I am using graphhopper extensively behind the scenes obviously but a much closer integration with a multi-modal journy planner is required. Once you actually get down to asking what time the bus actually comes we are better off in a journey planner proper. Existing journey planners to my knowledge dont allow you to wave the cursor outside your hotel and instantly see where all the nearest buses go to.
They dont allow you to look at a country and instantly see there's an interesting wiggly line on some extremity of the network that will invariably turn out to be some kind of tourism target. They don't allow you to look at an entire continent and visualize all international ferries, arterial bus routes and essentially the entire rail network, in one blink.
I need to put back the whole of TfI buses and ferries as we have essentially comprehensive data set for ROI. And I have some bugs and thresholds to fix. I will update this thread if there's a significant step forward, Collaboration or just vocal support is sought.
However, those who are truly motivated continue to be exiled into smaller and smaller slices of society, until what you have left is environments of concentrated toxicity, but now hidden from the watchful eyes of the general public.
Wouldn't this imply that excluding places like T_D and more recently, 8chan, further continue to fuel further extremism in groups that already feel marginalized?
You can quickly reload the page, and stop it before the JS for the paywall loads (esc on pc) The HTML loads but not the js that implements the paywall.
A bit late to the party, but I wrote a generator for a project last year running on vanilla JS with a simple HTML front end. There is no recording feature, but I'm sure you could just record the playback externally.
You are right, I over-specialized my definition I suppose, but I still stand by my point of this differentiation between instrumental music and lyrical music.
With Instrumental music, the challenge becomes conveying ideas over a non-verbal medium, a challenge which is non-existent in music with heavy lyrical emphasis.
Stylistic change isn't meant to be groundbreaking anyway, I believe it is from the gradual stretching of boundaries over time that leads styles to be unrecognizable from their origins that inspires new styles to be developed.
> and there have not been any groundbreaking new jazz artists in the last 30 years.
I strongly disagree with this statement, the music is out there if you were to look.
Jazz has moved past the standard 'swing and ballad' forms that were popular throughout the late 20th century, and most listeners can't shake the roots of the genre from what defines the modern equivalent; It would be akin to die-hard old school rap fans denying that rap in it's current state should even be considered rap.
>That is what makes singing and rapping unique, you are able to tell a story combined with music.
What makes jazz (particularly the instrumental kind) unique is being able to invoke emotions and tell a story without being bound to some language barrier, an abstraction that transcends spoken word, that speaks to the pattern matching automata of the language part of our brains, regardless of race, language, or background.
Probably minuscule when stacked next to the costs of grounding all 737MAXs for half a year and the negative publicity of multiple planes catastrophically nosediving out of the sky
Is this in line with what you all have experienced?
