I'd be interested in how long you would actually need to go without soap to smell "normal". I've done numerous backpacking trips going 2-3 weeks without showering and although "we" get used, it's immediately obvious to those that encounter us at the end of the trip how awful we do smell.


My favorite is A poem on pretending to understand:

  Tiger got to hunt,
  Bird got to fly;
  Man got to sit and wonder, "Why, why, why?"

  Tiger got to sleep,
  Bird got to land;
  Man got to tell himself he understand. [81]

The other day I convinced myself to flash CM 12 on my HTC One M7 without GApps. However, within a couple hours had no choice but to flash it. Open Whisper Systems doesn't provide Signal's APK outside of Google Play (surprisingly Spotify does), and neither does Pebble. In addition there is some bug in messaging that prevents me from sending any SMS at all. I'd argue that GApps is a requirement for any Android device today. Unfortunately I see the iPhone as the only smartphone where it's even possible to avoid Google services.


At least for something like Signal you can compile it yourself. They even provide instructions. So you could avoid gapps for that one with a bit of work.

Org-Mode has been the most rewarding part of using Emacs for me and has been what kept me from switching to another editor for more than two years now. I have a single Org-Mode file[1] that builds my entire development environment.

Same. Every now and then I think "ooh, Acme might be really cool" but then I remember it doesn't have Org-mode. It really is the killer-app of Emacs. I guess it's a good thing because it means I can finally settle on an editor long enough to master it.


Precisely.


Problem is, when I was doing my lifeguard training they showed us / told us how the surface of the water distorted swimmers and who / what is below the surface. A towel or swim toy can look like a person once fully submerged. (it is required to wear polarized sunglasses in chair) You would need cameras under the water, focused on the bottom of the pool to be of any use I imagine. As a lifeguard, our main objective is scanning for signs of struggle yes, but also to be checking for bodies below the surface. With unresponsive victims, every second counts.


Do you still plan to keep the project opensource now that you have a license available to purchase?


Yep.
