Believe it or not, this doesn't happen in Seattle. Sure there was a month or two when people were treating bikes like shit, because they were new, but now the conventions have been established and people are more respectful. What you&#

You would. Except most statically linked binaries may still need ca-certificates, tzdata, and some other files that libraries expect it to be present on the system. Not to mention, you still need runtimes if you are programming in Java, Pyt

It’s not the same thing. Slides Q&A is a very poor implementation, and isn’t persistent. Doesn’t work while someone is not presenting. Not to mention, you don’t always need Slides to have people ask questions.

To use this for anything serious, you have to know exactly how these images are built. In fact, you should just build them all from the source yourself. Consequences of using unvetted compilers/toolchain are severe, and pulling build t

Bing Maps already has “bird’s eye” mode and has always had it as the name of the aerial imagery. Although theirs’ is totally a bird’s eye, you can see buildings from an angle instead of from the top.
