I'm quite interested in the academic research aspect, especially since our computational geometry group uses or plans on using Blender. However, I'm unclear about the details of this announcement. Is it related to funding opportunities or suggesting experimental features?


Can I ask what group you're with? I'm an architecture professor who implements (and teaches undergrads to implement) geometry with computational tool and I'm always trying to keep tabs on who's out there doing interesting work.


Man, to just be a fly on the wall. This is all so interesting to me. I hope these lab projects are open. I’d love to learn more about implementing computational geometry for architecture but lack the ability.


So, your point is: "things are already bad now, no harm in making it worse"?



Can you please point to a source where it says that 'lead is an essential nutrient'? Or a source to any of your other extraordinary claims?


Well, I am judging this at least a little: Why is the first reaction of this passenger to make a video of herself? Makes me wonder if there ever was an accident where first aid was delayed because somebody had to make a video first....


I think theres some tech sway here. Ex: I wonder how technology changes how we recall events and WHEN we recall them. The plane that flipped upside down being a great example. Likely less than 1% of people use a diary to recount insanely major events of their lives. In the 1980s, lets say 80% of people used diaries/journals to recount the events of their lives. That number today is probably less than 1%. But NOW 100% of people use their phones to recount events via video. They dont try to remember what happened, since its there captured at the time of the event. Diaries recount the event after the information has decayed and there’s a minds-eye element to it, so it has additional subjectivity because reading a diary you have to imagine what happened in the past instead of a visual aid.


what search engine/service do I need to use to find public toilets on OSM? I tested it with public toilets but was only able to find one 'dog toilet' within city limits...


In the end OSM is a database. I use OsmAnd, but I believe that Maps.me uses the same dataset.

Basically this

Fiddle with the query, and you can extract pretty much whatever you want from the OSM database


LavSeeker app. It's on F-Droid. Not sure if it's on the play store too.


Not mentioned in OP: https://getgrav.org/

I used it for a project once and both me and the client were happy. It compares to kirby.


I still refuse to use a smartphone or social media.


That makes two of us.


fascinating! There's also a wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echolocation_jamming?useskin=v...


I got a placeable fax machine...
