It took 5 tries hitting the reply button, accidently giving you a down vote in the process... The text having a fix width is a pain. On my screen and with my eyes, I have to zoom in and scroll each line back and forth. Makes it annoying to

Most you can do with Google Maps is cache some layer pictures. All search, routes etc. takes a round trip to Google's servers. Which makes it useless abroad, for instance. With HERE, you download an entire country, and use it (search,

Since the algorithm needs to evaluate hundreds of thousands of wheels, it's not a full-blown FEA model, as that would have taken far too long. It's written in a real-time physics library called Bullet, and the rim can at most be m

I tried with an unbiased representation, and then it found all kinds of stuff, mostly bad patterns. The ones in the video are the non-dominated solutions found, and no crow foot there. It did find it, or something similar, on many of the ru

I just finished my master's thesis on optimizing lacing patterns for bicycle wheels using evolutionary algorithms [1]. To do that, I had to thoroughly investigate how they work to be able to write a wheel simulator. It's quite fas

And the colormap should be easy to read with color blindness (so the blue/green one is not good), and also look good with various amounts of hue on different screens or print. For instance, printed in b&w. This page has a lot of co

Could an electric bicycle be something? For commutes etc. it's cheap, single person, faster than standing still in traffic, can be exercise (or not). How safe depends on where you live.

FYI: When a video goes "viral", one is quickly contacted by agencies(happened to me). They have standard deals with big media corporations, and handles the licensing. It frees the creator from having to make deals with hundreds of

Please include the content of a link and why you think it's relevant. In this case, I guess you want to point out a repost. But the other one got 6 points and 0 comments, so no other discussion with interesting comments to link to.

No, this has nothing to with micro-services. The point here is that in Java, most frameworks are huge systems violating the "single responsibility principle", and instead do everything. Currently, it's a movement to split the

I had to check: I became a paying member of Spotify in 2009. That's a lot of money spent on music I never would have done if not. Before that, I had maybe bought 2-3 albums in my entire life, growing up when piracy was at its peak. At
