It renders in WebGL with SDFs, but rendering is a small part of the problem — placing labels along paths including curved ones, avoiding collisions etc. gets very complex very fast.

Nice tutorial! Brace yourself for the next step (text rendering and label placement) — this is way more difficult than it may seem at first, and contributes to a lot of complexity in Mapbox GL JS.

For me as a non-native speaker who had this problem too, reading on Kindle helped learn the language immensely. You can long-press any word and it will show results from a high-quality dictionary (there are few to choose from, including the

Oh, nothing wrong with going with your gut and paying attention to the warning signs. But, "I briefly looked at these people from afar and immediately concluded they all only pretend to work and never accomplish anything" is just

With this much saltiness, it's not hard to guess the result of that interview :)

At this point you're just parroting Russian propaganda without any clue of what you're talking about, so I don't think there's any point in further discussion.

"Hitler wins this war no matter what, just let him kill all the Jews and enslave non-Aryans so that we could avoid needless deaths and suffering" — does that sound right to you? This is exactly how this ignorant nonsense sounds to

Hello from a fellow musician! I have a very similar setup, but using Studio One DAW which allows seamlessly converting any recorded WAV files in the project to FLAC — wondering if Reaper could do the same. Reduces the amount to sync by 2-3

A hobby rather than a field of study, but Open Crumb Mastery by Trevor Wilson made me fall in love with sourdough baking, it's amazing. I'm baking regularly for 2 years now since reading it and has gotten pretty good, even with

The canonical link is https://www.comebackalive.in.ua/ , but the others seem to have the same donation info, so they should be legit.

It’s important, although hard. Ordinary people have to realize that it’s an actual bloody war happening with thousands killed on both side senselessly, and not just “military operation to defend Donbas”. Personally I’ve been sending Telegra

Yes. Although I’m intentionally delaying invoices so that I have unrealized funds outside of the country, just in case.

Thank you so much for the kind words Javier, hope to see you again soon!

I don't feel brave, just reacting to the situation like all Ukrainians. There are powerful psychological defence mechanisms at play too.

Always funny to read these incredibly dumb & crazy conspiracy theories, and not surprising given how much shit Trump & Putin's propaganda put into your heads.

I accept the possibility that I could return to a bunch of rubble, but I would very much like to return home if/after the war stops and Putin's regime collapses, and rebuild and create with renewed vigor. Most of the things we lef

No, Mapbox has been very supportive, trying to help however they can and obviously not expecting me (or anyone else in Ukraine) to work any time soon. Same for colleagues from Belarus and even Russia — they are strongly pro-Ukraine and anti

Romanian support is felt immensely. Thank you!

I personally recommend donating to https://www.comebackalive.in.ua/donate , they're the forefront of Ukrainian military help at the moment. For humanitarian donations, Ukrainian Red Cross is reputable too https:/

We're trying to be honest but optimistic at the same time. E.g. there's this crazy villain Putin who's trying to destroy Ukraine, that's why we had to move to a safer place, but there's a very strong Ukrainian Army

Not translatable at the moment. Military command is obviously behind a closed curtain. Any public mapping efforts may help the enemy as much as Ukrainians, so so far they've been semi-private — e.g. official one-way sites / messen

It's miraculous transformation — I was against the current government, like many of my friends, it did its share of mistakes in recent years, but this huge existential threat seems to have propelled them to rise up to the occasion with

Donate here https://www.comebackalive.in.ua/donate , stop supporting the Russian economy and reject their products, rally local leaders to strengthen economic sanctions and increase Ukrainian support.

Some individual accounts may be exaggerated, but totals are already pretty severe. A lot of stuff isn’t counted too.

I heard some reports of limited offensives, notably in Horlivka and near the border around Sumy, although they still seem to serve defensive purposes. Ukrainian Army avoids offensives because the Russians often set up positions in densely p

Those are official stats from Ukrainian Armed Forces, and they are absolutely realistic, even if approximate. If you're in doubt, follow Bellingcat, OSINTtechnical and people like Christo Grozev who coordinate open source intelligence

We left most of our stuff behind and are now staying with wife and kids in a tiny hotel room, mostly glued to the terrible news, calling to our friends and family and seeing where we can help. Running to the bomb shelter during an air raid

There was a Russian troll here asking why I didn't leave earlier even though I knew this would happen, and whether I'm planning on bribing officials to avoid conscription. I already wrote the answers but the parent comment was fla
