I'm really liking Affinity Designer whenever I've tried it; it does pretty much everything that I use Illustrator for. I just wish it could properly injest .AI files. It opens them, but only does things with the PDF header part, r

Very true. Yet at the same time, it does route traffic to the appropriate boxes. And the name 'router', when referring to something someone has at their house, has entered the vernacular to mean "the box at home which lets me

Yes. It happens. I've had the same yelled at me, and been cursed at and flipped off (middle finger) when: - Riding on a bike/pedestrian overpass going OVER an intersection. - Riding on a bike path that is separated by grass from a

It's kinda interesting (although probably more of a simple slippery slope) to consider the intersection of this and the classic Reflections On Trusting Trust[1]. [1]: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers

Yep! That's because those too are highways. See this for reference: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway I believe a driveway would be highway=service.

Neat, but this does not seem to be all roads, it seems to be everything tagged highway=*. Specifically, non-motorized walking/biking paths and mountain bike trails (highway=path) are rendered. Ref: https://anvaka.github.io&#

#1 only worked because the machine you are talking about had one of those nifty dual USB / eSATA ports. If I recall right, a LOT of the Dell laptops my company had -- for years -- had this.

The root link is kinda different, though... What you're liking to is taking off the shelf receiver stuff and accepting the data coming out of it. The root link goes into exactly how and why all of this works, and how the author worked

Could you explain the goal of this, and how it actually attains this? It just doesn't seem clear what the client and server are here, nor what the "local server" is behind that needs piercing. Is this to, say, expose a server

I'm really liking it myself. Unfortunately I've got hundreds of hours wrapped up in making maps that I periodically update, and there's no good path to move them from Illustrator to Designer. PDFs move, but then every path co

I would posit that it's almost best if your volunteering is not really related to your profession at all. This keeps it fresh and interesting. I started riding bikes about 11 years ago and volunteering about 10. I've met a LOT of

Did you read the article? This is about history of and changes to places that people live in, not open-plan vs. separate-office workplaces.

I like bicycle stuff quite a bit. Riding bikes, working on bikes, etc. But, it's not my job... I do IT stuff. This past weekend there was a bunch of bike maintenance to be done. Swapping parts around, cleaning things, fixing stuff... I

I once took the train from the Detroit area (BMM -- Birmingham) to San Francisco, roughly... 9.5 years ago. I went alone, had a sleeper cabin to myself, and loved it. I really want to do it again, this time maybe stopping off places on the

The idea is that you didn't hear everyone, or even a significant amount of people, by default. You effectively had to find what you wanted and make efforts (joining chats, RSS feeds, etc) to tune-in. Or... make lists of things to... un

Not quite SMTP, but yeah. It's whole normal transport system. Add on to that things like integration with conference call systems (eg: Skype) for meeting and dial-in setup, conference room scheduling (Room Finder), and it's honest

Outlook's integration of mail and calendaring (and to-dos) is very, very, very useful for business users. Thunderbird is only one piece of that.

In the Detroit area the vast (VAST!) majority of the jobs are out in the suburbs. There's a good bit of stuff in downtown, but almost everything here is in an outer ring like Warren, Auburn Hills, Novi, Dearborn, Southfield, etc.

I use an Aeropress daily and have a Moka. The biggest downsides to the Moka are time to heat up (on my gas stove), and pretty much needing to wait for it to cool down before cleaning it. It might be a little faster with an electric stove, b

I ran into this yesterday. I use Illustrator infrequently, in spurts, to do mapping work for a non-profit that donates our volunteer time to work on mountain bike trails in parks. I last purchased CS6 on a non-profit license because my of m

If the warehouse has been foreclosed on, there may well be a demand of back-due rent before he can get his property. This is not an uncommon situation. It depends on the contract signed, but the owner of the warehouse may very well now hav

I read it as, he owes money on a warehouse, and if he can't pay that debt the contents will be seized and likely destroyed.

Good PMs have a much broader scope and much greater knowledge of the business -- the problems the engineers are tasked with solving -- than many engineers do. When doing a good job they bring together the technical might of the engineers, t

I do a lot of mountain bike trail building and maintenance. Here in SE Michigan we were heavily impacted by Emerald Ash Borer, and many of our trails are in wooded areas that contained a lot of ash. Because of how the Ash Borer kills trees

Isn't the claim made in the article as sensational -- that the investigators replayed what the attackers did -- just kinda good practice? It'd just make sense to me that, during an investigation, one would replay what the attacker

It's often not the cold, but the riding surface. Ice, snow, and water really change the dynamics of riding a bike.

Thank you very much. I'd been digging but hadn't found this yet.
