The modding changes mentioned at the bottom of TFA seem to imply that text strings won't render properly until the source ports are updated. You're going to have to install the NightDive port anyway to download the new episode. I don't think they have a separate download for it. I'd imagine everything else might work okay already or will be fixed alongside the string issues.

This looks great. I was hoping it would have been a good OrcaSlicer replacement for my FDM printer, but unfortunately it didn't generate any top surfaces (except for the topmost one) for a model I imported in. I didn't know if it was the printer profile (Creality.Ender3) or something else, but it seems I'm still using OrcaSlicer for the time being.

On iOS, you can scroll up on your photo when looking at it in Photos, and it should show you a location if it's available.

I used to use it in college to program at the library. I haven't used it in at least 5 years though. I believe it was also useful to learn a new language in an environment where I couldn't install software.

Actually, you don't need to implement the other chips to create your ALU. You just have to implement the chips in the chapter. Each chapter is designed to be self-sustaining, so if you wanted to jump ahead to make the ALU you could, then later implement the underlying components.

The architecture of the school is lovely. I really believe that it sets it apart from other school campuses.

Are there any other sources with constant up to date imagery like this? This looks great and would like to see other current satellite images, and maybe use them for visualizations or some projects.

This actually gave me an idea for a way to get people to pay for your app. Use metric in countries that use imperial units and vice versa. It would be an awful thing to do.

Why would they use their own tools and risk revealing them to the public when they can use a recognized existing tool and mask their full capabilities?

I was looking for something like this for a project once. I settled with imagemagick and ffmpeg. Maybe this has what I want.
