Adventures in making polygons and geometries valid continue

Can any corporation be ethical?

@deshipu @cyberkiller Yeah, #TeX is *so* good that nothing else can get a foothold. Ah well.

@TheMysteriousEm @jaycie Yep, they are WEIRD

"WEIRD is the phenomenon that plagues a lot of psychology and other social science studies: Their participants are overwhelming Western, educated, and from industrialized, rich, and democratic countries. They’re WEIRD. And not only are they WEIRD, they are overwhelmingly college students in the United States participating in studies for class credit"

@vfrmedia @distelfliege Many of the early, and active #OpenStreetMap members were active in #cycling, because #OSM provided good cycling maps. Alas often OSM tries to be a database, not a site showing access to the database.

One option from a long time #OSM member who's into cycling is http://cycle.travel/map

@deshipu @cyberkiller my goal is to not have to use TeX. 😝 TeX is great, but I'm just sick of having to talk down weird packages on old websites to get things to work. Basically, I'm wondering what (if any) alternative there is to TeX.

@cyberkiller yes, I've been teaching about asciidoc(tor) seems to have lots of features, which I like

@deshipu OK, but what woul you recommend to convert that to PDF?

I have a party to go to later, sort of a fancy dress. And I'm thinking of going as a witch. :D

@AkuAnakTimur It was basically entirely owned, and funded, by Samsung. When you signed up to their services, one of the legal entities was literally Samsung subsidiary.

Looks like Samsung decided to turn off the money.

I'm going to try to read more non fiction books this year. I read a lot, but reading loads of fiction is OK, but of I read von fiction, then I'll learn things. There is always more to learn.
