I heard in Germany when a vehicle is being inspected (yearly?) the headlights' angles are checked to not be beaming into oncoming traffic. Feels like useful regulation to include in every country.

I have blue eyes, it hurts to drive at night.

Weird they don't name Jon Sneyers - a person pivotal in creation of JPEG XL

Here's a blog post by him: https://cloudinary.com/blog/2026-the-year-of-jpeg-xl

For piano, look at Pianoteq - 50MB of math code that simulates $100k+ pianos, letting you adjust and fine-tune numerous parameters (lid position, microphone placement, etc), no sound-banks used! https://www.modartt.com/

Please consider adding a screenshot directly into the README (rather than a separate link).

Also maybe a single paragraph at the top describing the project rather than jumping into `install`.

I've wanted to code a VR game for juggling but never found time for it.

Feels like it would be super-easy-to-code and probably would be lucrative. Implement "slow down time" so people can practice juggling in slow motion, add some other features like catch radius and bias towards consistent height of throws and you've got a great game!

My 8-year-old video browser software Video Hub App - shows thumbnails from video as you hover with your mouse. Working on adding minor improvements before I finally get to the (optional) facial recognition "search by face similarity" feature.

I had someone steal my MIT open source software (that I sell for $5) and they are selling it for $11 or more. My software is 8+ years old; they are lying to the customers that they have been developing theirs for years. Very frustrating.

JPEG XL is a superior replacement for JPEG. It is better in basically every way to JPEG.

TIL: JPEG XS - an image and video codec that offers both visually and mathematically lossless quality for low latency implementations.

Additionally, JPEG XS compressed content is indistinguishable from the original uncompressed content.

Got delayed on my 8th anniversary release of Video Hub App - hoping to get it out in March / April. I have some bug fixes and new features in my app for browsing and organizing video files across local and network drives.

Sortition may be what you're looking for: "sortition is the selection of public officials or jurors at random, i.e. by lottery, in order to obtain a representative sample". No one can amass power because it's short term and random.
