That was actually not on the painted brick wall, but just... painted particleboard, I think? Either way, the strips failed, not the paint.

I think this is still an useful resource beyond shaders, e.g. if you'd like to implement something that renders a "thick" SVG <poly> or <path> out of a polyline.

I have a lot of painted brick wall I'm hesitant to drill into. Command strips have worked absolutely fine (and also come off without a trace if need be) for relatively light loads such as paintings and other decoration, but two Command

For one, it's not clear that this tool creates standard .ZIP files, so the bad guys using an off-the-shelf `unzip` tool would probably suspect things. If the tool does create regular ZIPs with irregular contents, they could still see t

The https://heibox.uni-heidelberg.de URL required for the checkpoint file seems to be down or at least very flaky. I wonder how many Colab boxes are currently trying to download the 900 megabyte weight file...

These features were introduced in 2019 (and have been featured in git's help texts since). Serious question - Why is it that they're called new two years later? Is it that no one cares to read git's prompts or release notes?

Some of the concepts here seem similar to my experimental SVG tool Coil ( https://akx.github.io/coil/ ) from 2018. Guess I was on the right track there. :)

But isn't a houseboat just a house that's built on a floaty boaty thing instead of solid ground? Sounds like composition ;-)

Reading what OP's goal was, my first thought was "can `sox` do that?". Yes, yes it can, apparently. `sox silence` cuts off silence at the start of a file (or in other places, suitably configured). http://sox.source

You should really probably give Jetbrains' IDEs a try, if you use any of the languages they support. I find it hard to think I'd give PyCharm up for my daily Python and Typescript.
