So, I'd don't have a board readily available and don't know the notation to well. But does "resign" mean give up in this context? Would it be possible to make this actually run into chess mates at the end of the mes

I just started writing a kind of emotional diary public on the web. I'm not linking to it anywhere (though it's not really hard to find), and I write it in my native language (not a good proposition if looking for exposure). The s

I don't understand why the article portraits the described game as unworthy of the high score. An experienced player will always hedge, and thereby the high scores will all go to less bothered players gambling their way to a win.

I just traversed the ant part of Wikipedia, and this is what I found. > Queen ants have one of the longest life-spans of any known insect – up to 30 years. > The fertile eggs become female worker ants and unfertilized eggs develop as

I started a weblog a couple of days ago, and the joy of publishing generated markdown documents on a fileserver is as big as any of my JavaScript ventures.

UTM is widely used and is the standard way of expressing position within many countries, where lat/lon is second-class citizen on everything but phone navigators.

My exact thought. This is identical to MGRS, except that you lose the "cartesian coordinates locally" feature.

Good work! Just something I reacted to as a Swede is that the Åland Islands, the Faroe Islands and Greenland are listed as separate countries. Citizens of these areas hold Finnish or Danish passports respectively.

This is typically a very bad way to write a good text, as you will use idioms that simply are inefficient to use in the target language. If I would write a text in Swedish and then translate it to English, my workload would likely more than

This was in northern Norway, in June. The sun was defininetly shining, even though it was at 11 pm ;)

No, no. Literal haymaking. Cutting grass for hay.

I'll never forget the night I was visited by police in northern Norway because we committed the crime of ... haymaking at 11 pm.

Could you email me (using either the address in my profile or the one on the web page) more specific information about these groups, so that I can contact them?

Now I have straight out blocked Microsoft web browsers, providing an explanation to why I use other browsers instead.

They are used by people and infrastructure that are exposed to avalanche terrain. This usually involves alpine touring or snowmobiling, but in certain areas, e.g. Norway, a lot of roads and other infrastructure has been built right below da

What browser are you on? Because, IE and Edge does not work right now. This is simply because I do not have access to those browsers. I will probably just block them in the future. If you use another browser, could you please be more specif

It's mainly useful for avalanche forecasters. Today, they mostly go out in the field, dig in the snow and look for old avalanches. While this methodology is really good, it doesn't really scale, and the risk of missing something i

Noise cancelation would really be nice! My main objective is to create a proper automatic avalanche detector. For this however, I will need to get datasets of avalanches observed in the field. I'm discussing with Swedish authorities to

Yes! The only thing that are needed to add another country is an elevation model, and there are global ones one can use if needed. The satellite data is already there for the whole globe. :) I have not tried to run an instance with multiple

This is what I've put my soul into lately. The idea is to use radar imagery to find traces after avalanches. I don't know what more to tell you, but I would love any feedback!

I don't know about Netherlands, but I know that I started to do that around age 7 in Sweden. I think that is fairly typical.

It's an AC line, so when the helicopter retracts it will get a static charge instead of fluctuating in sync with the line, giving an immediate potential difference. I have no source for this, just amateur reasoning.
