Question: is the apple reboot seriously displaying a dmesg log?


I assume that's a Security Research Device. https://security.apple.com/research-device/


It is. You can see a SRD screen pop up briefly before the boot messages.


I guess not in final release, but security researchers used the developer beta, probably with some verbose mode enabled.


another perthian! w00t


https://furius.ca/salsa-book/ is a previous attempt!


Thank you for pointing this out! I had seen this page previously and had tried halfheartedly to find a copy of the original pdf at the time and given up. Just now I tried again though and was able to find one. Seems like a great guide, thanks a ton!


Woot. JavaScript will be moot.


You fight like a dairy farmer.


also: Delphine software Another World.


Such an underrated masterpiece, even with all of the praise it has gotten. Reading through the internals of the engine makes for a great evening.

Highly recommended Fabien Sanglard series on Another World: https://fabiensanglard.net/another_world_polygons/index.html

Herewith the map site.

I have to admit, the maps (at any zoom levels) are quite beautiful. Much much better than the likes of Apple or Google!


Fellow map nerds might also enjoy these:

The new "Light Base Map":

Demo (Light Base Map):

https://cms.geo.admin.ch/fmc/lbm.html

This is a modernized version of a base map (used to overlay topical maps over it) that they have been working on for the past few years. Available as vector tile. It's very clean and crisp, and IMHO much more readable than e.g. the Google Maps style, or OSM.

---

Highly customizable 3D map viewer (under development). Performance is a bit choppy, and navigation feels somewhat clunky. But you can overlay any of the hundreds of topical maps (pick from geocatalog menu, or search via search bar).

Example with hiking trails overlay: https://test.map.geo.admin.ch/#/map?lang=en&sr=3857&center=8...


Light Base Map look very early 2000s. Washed out and low contrast with pastels.. It's very pretty. I'd use it as a background image. But I feel you can't see anything really without really straining yourself. You don't get an immediate sense of the terrain or road network without taking a minute to look at it in detail.

Maybe b/c it's what I grew up with, but I've always found AAA maps (do they still print them?) had the best colors and contrast. I've never found any other map app that looks anywhere nearly as good


Looks a lot like France's IGN vector layers.


The maps on that website have some very cool features including "Journey through time" which allows you to see the maps going back to 1864.


That's not a very high bar.

The style in the same as all pre-Internet paper maps I've seen, but with much higher fidelity. So it looks nice to me, but it's not the most readable, mostly the names do not stand out in the dark green background.


I don't like them - but they're the best you can have when you're in the woods.


Oh saw a lot of these when dabbling with fractint. Never could figure out how and why, but they were beautiful nonetheless on my mighty VGA!

This is something I'm familiar with! I refined the above algorithm to reconcile statements according to the statement end balance. It works well, and yes it's knapsack.

Note the full API may be accessible via a cli interface.

The above work will be merged hopefully soon.


I wonder how full it'll be. The python bindings aren't complete. For instance it's impossible to add scheduled transactions. Which I'd investigating doing for tax depreciation on assets. I did eventually find the scheme functions and looked at adding the necessary functions. But not gonna lie Lisp is rough when you've never worked with it before.


You could and should discuss on the mailing lists. Agree scheduled transactions are not visible from bindings, and it could be a feature request. If you wanted to so depreciation of assets you could easily do your own calculations via scheme or python.
