The tilt of the globe on that page changes throughout the year to match The Earth’s tilt when viewed from from The Sun. The initial rotation of Earth is correct for the time of day too. This means that, when you load the page, you see The Earth as The Sun currently sees it.
I’m not sure anyone has ever noticed, and I’m sure my calculation isn’t perfect, but I enjoy watching it change over the course of the year.
I’ve been having a lot of fun with the site in the last year-or-so. I’ve had a personal site for well over a decade now, but this is the iteration I like the most. Probably because this is the first time I’ve just built a playground for myself, and not tried to conform to what a site “should” be.
Sorry, those with disabilities don’t actually have the right to enjoy art. This article just isn’t for you. /s
I hate how ableism is so prevalent on the web and amongst engineers. This website is a beautiful way to let users explore the data interactively. There’s absolutely no reason it couldn’t also be made accessible so everyone could appreciate it and explore the timeline of the page and the messages communicated therein.
As nice as the page is, the lack of accessibility comes down to laziness and complacency on the side of the author imo.
What type of art can exist for someone who's blind, deaf, unable to taste or smell, and quadriplegic?
(Edit: additionally, does this exclude music as a whole?)
Those with more than one disability don't have the right to enjoy art? The right to force you individually to accomodate them in everything you do regardless of if you know them or how few of them there may be?
By your metric there, might I accuse your own post here? You didn't use language that someone sufficiently mentally disabled could understand, so you've just excluded their "right" to appreciate and understand what you've written. Perhaps a limitation of this platform, but it'd sound like you're enabling that same ableism, not to mention that you could attach links to pictograms and videos to try to enable those who cannot understand language.
What is such an accusation of "Ableism"? A denial of differences in ability? A belief that if even one person somewhere can't achieve something, that nobody anywhere should, however mundane?
It's one thing to discuss designing our public streets to accomodate people on wheelchairs, of whom there are many and the benefits can also aid cyclists and even just people wheeling cargo on a dolly. Or to design public buildings to have small accomodations as such where they are trivially inexpensive and will remain for the life of the building while often providing benefits to everyone. Yet should it apply to all aspects of life everywhere? And what defines the limits? Exclusion of 1% of the population? 0.1%? A single individual?
Whilst reading about notable people who share my surname, I discovered this bizarre article on the Highgate Vampire media sensation of the 1970s.
> There was more publicity about Farrant and Manchester when rumours spread that they would meet in a "magicians' duel" on Parliament Hill on Friday 13 April 1973, which never occurred.
I’ve historically used Shortcuts on iOS to pipe articles through Siri, but the experience isn’t great.
I’m sure services must exist which consume articles and can read them aloud with high quality test-to-speech, tracking of how far through an article you’ve listened, and so on.
I’d love to see some work put in to making this work with React Native. I spent a day trying to get this to work a few weeks ago with no joy, and I couldn’t find any indication that anyone else had managed to make it work either.
My particular use-case is that I'm not a Swift/Objective-C developer, I'm a JavaScript developer.
React Native opened the door to allow me to build apps and, realistically, I'm not going to spend the time battling through trying to get native git working through React Native. If there's a native developer out there that wants to tackle this problem and wrap it up in a nice JS module then I'd be in your debt!
Depends what users, if you're targeting some education format or institution that wants some locking down of their OS git native is kind of a non starter. No one can configure it for you, there's 65 million install options and you're loading a bash shell into windows.
Very different from "this app has packaged tutorials and tools just start at lesson 1"
This would seem like a workaround but it's possible to run node.js on Android and iOS and bundle it with your react native app so that might be a potential way forward: https://code.janeasystems.com/nodejs-mobile/
