About 2,000 locations so far. Mapillary has a lot of imagery but finding the 360 panoramas is trickier since they are a lot rarer. I'm actively expanding coverage
re, iteration: Have you encountered ImGui [0]? It's basically standard when prototyping any sort of graphical application.
re, GUIs in statically typed languages: As you might expect, folks typically use a library. See Unreal Engine, raylib, godot, qt, etc. Sans that, any sort of 2D graphics library can get the job done with a little work.
You might also take a look at SwiftUI if you have an Apple device.
> It's basically standard when prototyping any sort of graphical application.
while imgui is super-cool, this is wildly overstating its reach or significance. It also embodies a very particular style of GUI programming (so-called "immediate mode", hence the "Im" part of the name) that is very well suited to some sorts of GUI applications and less so for others. The other style, often called "deferred mode", is the one used by most native toolkits, and it is very far from trivial to just switch an application between the two.
So, while there are plenty of good reasons to consider imgui for a graphical application, there are also many reasons why you would not want to use it too. It is very far from "standard" in terms of prototyping such apps.
I don't believe that without evidence. Europe tacitly supports Israel even while some parts of it claim not to, and Spain is internationally irrelevant.
Exactly why they are singled out for chilling effect. They cannot retaliate substantially.
Evidence is not easy to find on these topics. It's espionage for christ's sake. You need to analyze material incentives and be familiar with the methods used. You cannot expect the media to hand you the answers, because that is not the purpose of the media especially on topics like this.
Israel responds to words with words. They respond to force with force. And they are busy enough dealing with the trouble that Iran keeps stirring up, they're not going to do anything to Spain. (Not to say that it would be out of the question for them to go after terrorists who were in Spain, but it would be very focused. Look at what happened after Munich--multiple European countries were incredibly inept about extraditing the attackers so Israel responded with assassination teams. Not strikes on anything they didn't believe had hurt them.)
(And there never was a genocide, but this isn't the thread for it.)
You're following the propaganda, not the reality. Just because Hamas calls them "press" doesn't make them so. And almost nobody will call Hamas on it because that would jeopardize future reporting. And unfortunately having something to report is far more important to "news" organizations than actually reporting the truth. We've even seen The Felon try to do that here--report only what I want if you want to be allowed into press conferences.
You seem to approve extrajudicial killing / assassination. Would be interesting if some countries decide to start assassinating Israeli terrorists in West Bank.
I'd suggest that radical left-wing elements indigenous to Italy, such as those behind the Turin protests that left 100 police officers wounded a few days ago, are a perfectly plausible candidate; not every attack comes from without. There was another protest against the Olympics in Milan itself last night by left-wing elements who believe the games are economically and socially unsustainable [0]
Unfortunately with stuff like this, nation states will use groups like that as proxies.
Lots of governments.
For example, there's some other news at the moment that the USA is financing pro-MAGA groups across Europe, which I mention more because of Jan 6 happened at all than due to any specific evidence that the US government has knowingly given state support for terrorists.
The GOP in Congress abdicating its role and deferring to the executive, as well as SCOTUS continually using the “shadow docket” to rule in his favor with little to no explanation provided.
Congress: anyone falling out of line will lose his support in midterms.
Judiciary: appointments and ideological alignment with some of the Supreme Court. Thomas and Alito are fully controlled, Kavanaugh just loves a powerful executive, the rest aren't controlled but often in agreement.
Then there's his use of executive power to punish his adversaries, e.g. Perkins Coie.
The question is through what mechanism are other branches curtailing his power? It seems to be limited to strongly worded letters and speeches, indignant comments and scathing news reports but nothing real.
The execution of the Unitary Executive theory, a clear ideological descendant of Carl Schmitt’s Decisionism. Carl also had some beautiful prose describing the weaknesses of liberal democracy and how to exploit them that are very relevant to today as well.
Through the flawed primary system. Relatively few people vote in the primaries, which means they skew towards extremists. Trump can motivate MAGAns to vote in Republican primaries, which makes MAGA essentially a gatekeeper to Republican seats even in districts where the electorate at large is Republican rather than MAGAn.
He's not directly controlling the judiciary yet, but he has appointed wildly extremist judges and threatened judges who rule against him with impeachment, so he's certainly making an effort.
Without the Fed, how would you advise the nation deal with events like the Great Depression, the Great Recession, or COVID? Would you disagree that the Feds actions shortened these events and thus helped the public in the process?
Yes, I would disagree that the Fed has any positive influence whatsoever. It should be abolished and we should solve our problems with policy that relates to them and not pro-capital financial manipulation.
Have you read up on the wildcat banking era? The Fed, although far from perfect, was created to solve systemic problems with the decentralized American financial sector of its time. Chesterson’s fence is vital to discussions like these.
Doesn't the Fed do exactly that though? And without political influence? What would a different pro-labor system look like that could deal with national monetary crises?
I would argue that the Fed manipulating our financial system causes monetary crisis. The Fed is under the influence of capital which doesn't have the benefit of being even nominally checked by democracy. Were we (speaking as an American) to invest in our country and people we would have a healthier society and the means to deal with actual crisis.
> I would argue that the Fed manipulating our financial system causes monetary crisis.
Well, get ready because you aint seen nothin yet if you thought the Fed was manipulating our financial system. Do you honestly think a partisan system would be better?
I'd be interested in learning more about your workflow. I've certainly used plaintext files (and similar such things) to aid in project planning, but I've never used paper beyond taking a few notes here and there.
Not who you’re replying to, but I do this as well. I carry a pocket notebook and write paragraphs describing what I want to write. Sometimes I list out the fields of a data structure. Then I revise. By the time I actually write the code, it’s more like a recitation. This is so much easier than trying to think hard about program structure while logged in to my work computer with all the messaging and email.
This is a red herring. Rogue regimes will, by construction, seek the security offered by nuclear weapons. Hence the need, where possible, to apply diplomatic or military means to prevent exactly that.
That’s counter to what happened for several decades when we actually cared about preventing it. Few regimes at all sought them and several were convinced to abandon nuclear programs.
